| 36 | A close friend of Charles Xavier and a co-founder of the X-Men. A brilliant scientist, Beast's mutation leads him to be covered in blue fur and have heightened strength and agility. He develops the technology that the team requires to carry out missions. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | -> For tropes applying to Beast in the new timeline established by ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', see the [[Characters/XMenFilmSeriesXMenNewTimeline X-Men (New Timeline)]] page. |
| 39 | ---- |
| 40 | * AgeLift: Quite a bit older than Cyclops and Jean, even without getting into ''First Class''. While Beast was the eldest of the first students in the comics, he was only in his 30s in [[ComicBookTime the 1990s]]. |
| 41 | * {{Ambadassador}}: He works in a government position as the Secretary of Mutant Affairs, basically an official ambassador for the mutant cause. And he kicks ass when necessary. |
| 42 | * BeastMan: Duh. |
| 43 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Pressing his BerserkButton might lead to him strangling you. Jekyll and Hyde indeed. |
| 44 | * CharacterDevelopment: When you watch the original saga in chronological order, one can appreciate how much Hank grew as a person from when he first joined Charles to the matured position we see him in ''The Last Stand''. [[spoiler:When he was young, Hank was desperately ashamed of his mutation, despite it being fairly benign and unnoticeable, which led him to experiment in attempt to "cure" himself. This only transformed him into the blue-furred Beast we know and love.]] After much personal struggle to accept himself, Hank came to embody the ideal of Charles' vision for mutantkind: a shrewd political champion for their cause who proudly wears his obvious physical mutation on his sleeve, but is otherwise the picture of class, civility and compassion. When he encounters Leech, a young mutant who neutralises the gifts of any other mutants in his immediate vicinity, Hank is clearly shocked and moved when the boy allows him to see his white-skinned human hand beneath his blue-furred visage for the first time in decades. This constant temptation to be normal again makes him much more sympathetic to any mutants who would wish to cure for their conditions, in contrast to some of his teammates. |
| 45 | * CulturedBadass: Tries to quote Churchill while fighting, and quotes Shakespeare prior to taking off to San Francisco in a deleted scene. Being played by [[Series/{{Frasier}} Frasier Crane]] himself definitely helps convey this. |
| 46 | * CoolOldGuy: Much older than Storm and Jean, but as potentially destructive as Wolverine. |
| 47 | * DramaticIrony: His attempt at a cure on himself appears to work and then [[spoiler:fails horribly in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'']]. When he later uses a variation to [[spoiler:rob Erik/Magneto of his powers]] in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', it seems to work. [[spoiler:And then, rather subtly, it also fails]]. |
| 48 | * DroppedABridgeOnHim: According to the tie-in material for ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he gets [[spoiler:dragged from his home and murdered by a mob of mutant-hating humans akin to the "Friends of Humanity" from the 90's animated series.]] |
| 49 | ** Doubles as a CallBack if you're watch the prequel before watching the main X-Men trilogy. |
| 50 | * EarlyBirdCameo: He appears briefly on TV in the bar in ''Film/X2XMenUnited''. |
| 51 | * FormerlyFit: He quips that he barely fits into his old X-Men uniform. He has grown stockier over the years, but he hasn't lost one bit of his strength and ferocity in battle. |
| 52 | * GeniusBruiser: |
| 53 | ** In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', he goes from being a BadassBookworm at the beginning to being a Genius Bruiser toward the end. [[spoiler:This is because he injected himself with something that utterly transformed his appearance.]] |
| 54 | ** By ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', he's a scientist/diplomat who can kick lots of ass. |
| 55 | * GentleGiant: Huge and animal-like, but on the good guys' side. |
| 56 | * GentlemanAndAScholar: He's very friendly, prefers to avoid conflict, and truly comes out of his shell when in his comfort zones, such as discussing science or assisting with the other students. |
| 57 | * NerdGlasses: Wears the horn-rimmed variety in the First Class trilogy, which in his case is a visual cue that he's a geeky academic. |
| 58 | * NiceGuy: Again, an unfailingly friendly guy, even to those who mock his appearance. |
| 59 | * RememberTheNewGuy: An old friend of Charles, he made his anticipated appearance in the final instalment of the original X-Men trilogy. His backstory and crucial role in Xavier's first team were greatly expanded upon in ''First Class'' and ''Days of Future Past''. |
| 60 | * TheSmartGuy: He's incredibly intelligent and a brilliant scientist who has invented most of the nifty tools and gadgets (X-Jet, Cerebro, etc.) that the X-Men use. |
| 61 | * TimeShiftedActor: An older actor was cast for ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', and a younger thespian took over the role for the movies which are set in the 20th century. |

| 71 | |
| 72 | A mutant who has the ability to absorb energy and discharge it as blasts. He is the much older brother of Scott Summers. |
| 73 | ---- |
| 74 | * AdaptationDyeJob: His energy blasts are blue in the comics, red in the films. |
| 75 | * AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Downplayed. While he's not one of the ''original'' X-Men in the comics, he does make his first appearance a few years after they debuted, and is one of the first new recruits to the team. However, he joins the X-Men two ''decades'' before his brother Scott, one of the original members in the comics where Alex joined the team after his brother. |
| 76 | * AdaptationalPersonalityChange: The comic version of Alex is almost defined by his raging inferiority complex, insecurities and his need to compare himself to Cyclops. This version has none of those issues and is far more stable because of it. |
| 77 | * AgeLift: Given the decision to make him one of the original students and to avoid ComicBookTime. In the comics, he's Cyclops' '''''younger brother''''', but his movie counterpart is about 20 years older than Scott. |
| 78 | * TheBigGuy: Despite not being the largest or physically strongest, his powers are ''much'' more destructive than those of the other young mutants in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', and he's far more likely to pick a fight than the more docile Hank. |
| 79 | * ChestBlaster: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', his suit is designed to focus his energy and discharge it from a device in his chest. Based on his new timeline self in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he no longer needs the suit. |
| 80 | %% * DeadpanSnarker |
| 81 | * DoomedByCanon: He appears in the prequel trilogy but there is no trace of him in the present day. Given that his new timeline counterpart was the one to bring Scott to Xavier in ''Apocalypse'' but Scott was seemingly managing his mutation on his own in ''Origins'', it can be presumed that he passed away before this in the original timeline. |
| 82 | * {{Fanservice}}: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', he displays his bare, muscular arms during training, plus a section of his chest is exposed when the energy output device is removed from his combat uniform. |
| 83 | * HellBentForLeather: His black leather jacket in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' marks him as a bad boy in comparison to the other mutant recruits. |
| 84 | * ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: When he starts to practice controlling his powers, he first ends up shooting everything EXCEPT his intended target. While he really was trying to aim, he couldn't control the sheer force of his powers yet. After some training, he becomes much better at targeting and controlling his blasts. |
| 85 | * InSpiteOfANail: Technically he does appear in ''Days of Future Past'', since while the character appears in the new timeline created after 2023 Logan arrives in 1973, nothing Logan did impacted Alex's life. So what was shown to happen to his new timeline counterpart in Vietnam also happened to the original timeline version. |
| 86 | * JerkJock: A downplayed example in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' as he's not as bad as what this trope is normally associated with, but he's verbally abusive towards the geeky Hank, and Alex even fits the blond stereotype. |
| 87 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He bullies Hank and is generally pretty abrasive. Later, he sticks by his friends when Shaw comes, and does grow to like and respect Hank. |
| 88 | * MagicFeather: The chest blaster device helps him control his energy blasts, but eventually it gets damaged. He eventually gains enough control over it to aim his uncontrolled blasts effectively, clipping Angel's wings with them. |
| 89 | * PersonOfMassDestruction: He's fearful of the damage his powers could do if he isn't kept isolated, and so prefers being in solitary confinement while in prison so he is at less risk of hurting someone by accident. |
| 90 | * PowerIncontinence: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', he can emit powerful energy blasts, but he can't control their direction. This problem is solved by a special harness, which he even refers to as his "energy diaper" in a deleted scene. |
| 91 | * RapeAsBackstory: Or attempted rape. A deleted scene mentioned that Alex was involved in a very violent incident with "two inmates in the showers." The implications of why a young, attractive man would need to fight off two men in a prison shower are clear. |
| 92 | * SleevesAreForWimps: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' during the training scenes, everyone gets matching grey tracksuits. His, inexplicably, doesn't have sleeves. |
| 93 | * WouldHitAGirl: Angel Salvadore attacks him and Banshee with her highly acidic spit balls, so once he and his teammate land safely on a beach, Havok unleashes his power and burns her wings. |
| 94 | * {{Unishment}}: Given a passing mention in ''Film/XMenFirstClass''. A prison guard where he was staying at the beginning of the film remarks that he's "the only prisoner I've ever seen who actually ''prefers'' solitary." Sure enough, when we first see him, Alex is in solitary. A subversion, since Alex doesn't really ''enjoy'' solitary, he's trying to stay away from people so he doesn't actually hurt them with the energy blasts that are his mutant power, and which he has great difficulty in controlling. |

| 105 | A mutant capable of ultrasonic screaming, used in various ways including as a means of flight and sonar. |
| 106 | ---- |
| 107 | * AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Downplayed. While he's not one of the ''original'' X-Men in the comics, he does make his first appearance a few years after they debuted, and is one of the first new recruits to the team. |
| 108 | * AdaptationalNationality: He is American in the movie-verse, but in the comics, he was Irish. |
| 109 | * AgeLift: Inverted; he's a teenager as opposed to an adult when he joins the proto X-Men. His comics' counterpart was in a romantic relationship with Moira [=MacTaggert=] (and therefore he was close to her in age), but in the movie-verse, he's at least a dozen years her junior. |
| 110 | * ChivalrousPervert: Is introduced flirting with a girl, who seems to find him comical more than anything else. He also wolf-whistles at Angel. |
| 111 | * DeadpanSnarker: He does have some nifty lines. |
| 112 | -->'''Raven''': We should come up with secret codenames, we're secret agents now! I'll start, I'm gonna be Mystique.\ |
| 113 | '''Sean''': Damn! I wanted to be called Mystique! |
| 114 | * DroppedABridgeOnHim: He dies in between ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' and ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' at the hands of Bolivar Trask, who captured him and numerous other mutants to dissect, experiment on, and help develop the Sentinel Program. |
| 115 | * FieryRedhead: His actor even auditioned because it was a rare ginger superhero. Ironically, [[InvertedTrope Sean's one of the least hot-headed and combative of the students]], with those titles going moreso to Alex and Raven. |
| 116 | * GlassShatteringSound: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass''. Charles points out all the science to him. |
| 117 | * KilledOffscreen: He was killed by Trask's company in the time between ''First Class'' and ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. |
| 118 | * MakeMeWannaShout: His mutation involves making very powerful sound waves that can break glass (among other things). They're also very effective at locating things underwater, in similar variant of echolocation. In an unusual variation, this includes [[IBelieveICanFly the power of flight]], by bouncing sound waves off the ground back into a wingsuit. |
| 119 | * NotQuiteFlight: Sean's flight deals with using his supersonic screams to help him glide. |
| 120 | -->'''Charles''': You need the sound waves to be supersonic. Catch them at the right angle and they should carry you. |
| 121 | -->'''Sean''': They ''should'' carry me... that's reassuring. |
| 122 | * PluckyComicRelief: He's the most fun character in ''Film/XMenFirstClass''. |
| 123 | * TookALevelInBadass: His training involves learning how to use his powers in more efficient ways, including flying, disorienting opponents, and locating Shaw's submarine. |
| 124 | * UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: Given both his death between movies and their respective ages, he's not Siryn's father (who cameoed in ''Film/X2XMenUnited'') as in the comics. |

| 135 | A mutant with the power of "reactive evolution." |
| 136 | ---- |
| 137 | * AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: His comic book counterpart didn't first appear until [[TurnOfTheMillennium the mid-2000s]], but here, he's a founding X-Man in UsefulNotes/TheSixties. |
| 138 | * AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the comics, he had bulging eyes, slits for a nose, and reptilian grey skin. In the movie, he looks like a normal human. |
| 139 | * AdaptiveAbility: His ability involves his body making whatever changes necessary to keep him from dying in whatever environment he's in, such as growing gills while underwater. |
| 140 | * AgeLift: He's roughly the same age as Havok in both comics and movie, thus his counterpart in the former is younger than Cyclops, Jean, Iceman, and Angel. |
| 141 | * DiedStandingUp: [[spoiler:He stays standing after being killed by Sebastian Shaw]]. |
| 142 | * FakeDefector: He does this to Sebastian Shaw's group of evil mutants as a ploy to give his teammate Havok a clear shot at Shaw's group (his own mutant ability will protect him from Havok's attack, and their friend but genuine traitor Angel, who wouldn't be safe otherwise). [[spoiler:It doesn't turn out so good for him when Shaw's group survives unscathed due to Shaw's mutant ability allowing him to absorb Havok's attack.]] |
| 143 | * FeedItABomb: [[spoiler:He gets offed in this way]]. |
| 144 | * HeroicSpirit: He stands up to Shaw after seeing him murder an entire building of CIA agents. |
| 145 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:He doesn't get to come back in ''Days of Future Past'' like Cyclops and Jean Grey, because his death in ''First Class'' happens before the timeline alteration in ''Days of Future Past''.]] |
| 146 | * NiceGuy: Polite, friendly, and when things get rough he can be seen immediately moving to make himself a human shield for the other kids. |
| 147 | * NoBodyLeftBehind: [[spoiler:He is vaporized immediately by the blast he took, and one of his teammates even said, "We can't even bury him."]] |
| 148 | * SacrificialLamb: The first member of the proto X-Men [[spoiler:to die.]] |
| 149 | * TheWorfEffect: He's set up as, potentially, the team's most powerful member as nothing seemed to harm (or even hurt) him. However, [[spoiler: when Shaw manages to actually kill him, it proves how dangerous he truly is.]] |

| 174 | ---- |
| 175 | * AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: In the films, Scott's optic blasts seem to burn through things, whereas his comic counterpart's powers are more commonly portrayed as beams of pure concussive force and extremely powerful ones at that. |
| 176 | * AdaptationalWimp: His abilities are nowhere near his comic book counterpart's. Not only are his leadership capabilities at the barest minimum, but his optic blasts, unrestrained, are the strength that Comic Cyke sets as his default. Comic Cyke's unrestrained optic blast is the X-Men's equivalent of a smart bomb and basically wipes out anything in his field of vision. |
| 177 | * AgeLift: Scott in the comics first appeared as a teenager, but here he's a fully grown adult. Since the first ''X-Men'' took place in 2004 and later films would establish he was born in the [[TheSixties 1960s]], this would make him close to 40 years old in the original film. ''Apocalypse'', being set in 1983, is TruerToTheText however by showing him as being in his late teens years old. |
| 178 | * AlliterativeName: '''S'''cott '''S'''ummers. |

| 182 | * BlessedWithSuck: He must ''always'' cover his eyes with a ruby quartz lens, otherwise he might accidentally kill someone. |
| 183 | * ButtMonkey: In the original trilogy, Cyclops is easily defeated whenever a fight breaks out (the only defeat he has is Sabertooth which was assisted by Jean), Wolverine steals his vehicles multiple times, Stryker captures and brainwashes him in the second film, [[spoiler:he gets [[DroppedABridgeOnHim a bridge dropped on him]] by his girlfriend early in the third film]], [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and nobody likes his music]]. |
| 184 | * TheCameo: |
| 185 | ** ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'': As an adolescent, he's one of the mutants targeted by Stryker. His power is copied and put into Weapon X. Ironically, it also ends up destroying most of Three Mile Island as well. |
| 186 | ** [[spoiler:''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': He's alive and well in the AlternateTimeline.]] |
| 187 | * CoolShades: Justified--he's always wearing them because they keep his particular mutation in check. |
| 188 | * CurbstompBattle: Deals one out to the Secret Service at the beginning of the film in spectacular fashion. |
| 189 | * DeadpanSnarker: Frequently, but ''especially'' around Logan, resulting in SnarkToSnarkCombat. |
| 190 | * DemotedToExtra: In ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', though [[RealLifeWritesThePlot there's a reason]]. This started happening even in [[Film/X2XMenUnited the second film]] where he was captured fairly early on and didn't come back until the end. |
| 191 | * DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler:Despite acting as the team's field leader and, within the regular comic series, their linchpin since inception, he's quickly killed off-screen within the first 30 minutes of ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' by his newly resurrected fiancée, Jean Grey. As though that wasn't bad enough, his death barely registers with the rest of the cast later on in the film, with only a brief mention by Professor X who doesn't seem overly perturbed by the loss of his surrogate son]]. |

| 194 | * HellBentForLeather: As an adult, he is frequently seen with a black leather jacket. |

| 198 | * NeverFoundTheBody: [[spoiler:In ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', his body is never found after his death.]] |

| 222 | ---- |
| 223 | * ActionGirl: One of the most powerful X-Men, Storm is one of the most active members of the team in the first film, acting as Scott's main partner during missions and defeating Sabretooth and Toad in two separate occasions. |
| 224 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:She is alive and well in the AlternateTimeline of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''.]] |
| 225 | * BadassTeacher: She is one of the teachers in the Xavier's school and one of its best. |
| 226 | * BlowYouAway: Her control of the weather includes summoning powerful winds. |
| 227 | * BoyishShortHair: Her hairstyle in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' is quite short, and it's easier to maintain when she's struggling to survive the Future Sentinels. |
| 228 | * ElectricBlackGuy: Lightning is just another aspect of weather after all. |
| 229 | %%* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: In ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''. |
| 230 | * HotTeacher: She's an instructor at the academy, and is definitely beautiful. |
| 231 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:She is ambushed by a Future Sentinel in the climatic battle of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' and has the robot's entire arm jammed through her torso. Thankfully, the CosmicRetcon later spares her life.]] |
| 232 | * MonochromaticEyes: When using her powers, her pupils turn milky white. |
| 233 | * {{Multi-Ethnic Name}}: Her first name Ororo is likely Swahili. Her surname Munroe is English. Its unconfirmed if this incarnation of Storm is half White like her actresses are. |
| 234 | * MysticalWhiteHair: A white-haired woman with weather manipulation/summoning powers. |
| 235 | * NobleBigot: Despite being an X-Men, she admits to disliking humans because she is afraid of them. |
| 236 | -->'''Wolverine:''' Are you sure you're on the right side?\ |
| 237 | '''Storm:''' At least I've chosen a side. |
| 238 | * NoSympathy: When Worthington Labs develop and release a "cure" for X-Gene mutations to the public, Storm is enraged at the suggestion that anyone would willingly take it, going so far as to call them cowards. She doesn't consider the fact that many mutants have much more physically debilitating gifts than her, some impossible to conceal, making them prime targets for discrimination. Considering that Storm herself looks completely human and has awesome, godlike powers with no drawbacks, her sense of perspective on the issue has clearly been lost. Beast politely calls her out on this attitude, while Rogue ignores her advice and takes the cure, finally allowing her to touch people without killing them. |
| 239 | * NumberTwo: Second-in-command to Cyclops. Xavier offers her the leadership role after Scott falls into depression over Jean, a position she is ultimately forced to accept due to [[spoiler:Professor X's untimely death]] in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''. |
| 240 | * OfficialCouple: She is stated to be a couple with Logan in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. The ''Rogue Cut'' shows them kissing before his consciousness is sent back in time. |
| 241 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Regularly referred to as Storm, not Ororo or Munroe. |
| 242 | * PowerFloats: Can fly through wind manipulation. |
| 243 | * ShipTease: |
| 244 | ** With Nightcrawler in ''Film/X2XMenUnited''. |
| 245 | ** With Logan throughout the series. |
| 246 | * ShockAndAwe: In the first film, she defeats both Toad and Sabretooth by conjuring a lightning bolt to strike them. |
| 247 | * TeamMom: She becomes the headmistress of Xavier's school after [[spoiler:the Professor's apparent death]]. |

| 261 | |
| 262 | A mutant who can absorb any person's memories and abilities by touching them. As she cannot control this absorbing ability, Rogue can easily kill anyone, and thus is unable to be physically close to people. |
| 263 | ---- |
| 264 | * AdaptationalHeroism: Unlike the Rogue of the comics and most other adaptions, she ends up at Xavier's school from the very beginning and is never a former member of the Brotherhood. She never has to undergo a HeelFaceTurn, retroactively or otherwise, because here she was a Face to begin with. |
| 265 | * AdaptationalSlimness: Rogue is an interesting example, because in the comics she underwent a FanservicePack until she was a statuesque super model and one of the curviest X-girls on par with somebody like [[TheVamp Emma Frost]]. In the first movie, Rogue is aged down to a teenager and played by Creator/AnnaPaquin, who is much shorter and skinnier than the southern bombshell from TheNineties. Even her hairstyle is changed to make her look smaller, from EightiesHair to a flat, straight style. |
| 266 | * AdaptationalWimp: In the comics, she started out as an insecure and depressed girl who didn't have control over her powers, but grew into them and become a self-confident badass. The first film had her as the insecure, depressed girl, and the second took steps to develop her power control and confidence... only for a change in directors to completely neuter this story line in the third movie and make her just as weak as she was in the first film and ending with her removing her powers altogether. Furthermore, in the comics she has super strength and flight which she gained after permanently draining the energy of the superhero ComicBook/MsMarvel, while in the movies she lacks these abilities completely due to Ms. Marvel not existing in this continuity. Anna Paquin has said this is one of her biggest regrets with the role, as she really wanted to fly and kick some ass at some point. |
| 267 | * TheArtifact: There was really no point in keeping her around after the [[Film/XMen1 first movie]] (when Magneto needed her to power his machine). The only useful thing she did after that was stop Pyro's rampage and drive the X-Jet to get the members back--nearly crashing the thing, but that's a detail. |
| 268 | * BadPowersGoodPeople: As she doesn't have her comic book counterpart's HeelFaceTurn backstory, the filmmakers turned her into a sweet ClassicalAntiHero who sucks the life force (and mutant powers) out of anyone she touches. |
| 269 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: In ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', when Mystique and Magneto mock Rogue over her skunk stripe, she takes a glove off and clearly plans on using her powers on them before Bobby holds her back. Considering that [[spoiler:Magneto’s machine is the reason her hair’s like that in the first place and she almost died from it]], it’s completely understandable. |
| 270 | * BlessedWithSuck: Her superpower doesn't allow her to touch the ones she loves. |
| 271 | * BroughtDownToNormal: In ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', [[spoiler:she willingly takes the cure for mutants, although the film's final scene where Magneto slowly regains his power proves that the cure is not permanent]]. |
| 272 | * CantHaveSexEver: Due to her uncontrollable power, Rogue is unable to have intimacy with the person she loves, as demonstrated when her first kiss resulted in her then boyfriend falling into a coma. In ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', multiple characters point out the inherent problems faced by Iceman and Rogue. |
| 273 | * ClosestThingWeGot: In ''The Rogue Cut'', [[spoiler:Rogue is basically brought back into the fold to replace Kitty's role in projecting Logan into the past after Kitty is injured, as she can copy Kitty's power and use it in her place]]. |
| 274 | * CompositeCharacter: Rogue takes her name and the primary power from her comic counterpart, but has comic Kitty Pryde's close bond with Logan and resembles Jubilee from the [[WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries 90's cartoon]], as the young girl who joins the X-Men and acts as the AudienceSurrogate. |
| 275 | * DamselInDistress: |
| 276 | ** In ''Film/XMen1'', she is [[spoiler:kidnapped by Magneto, who intends to use her to power his machine]]. |
| 277 | ** In the ''Rogue Cut'' of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', [[spoiler:she gets distressed ''again'' during the BadFuture, when Trask Industries kidnaps her and experiments on her at the X-Mansion until Iceman and Magneto break her out.]] |
| 278 | * DemotedToExtra: |
| 279 | ** She had fairly large parts in [[Film/XMen1 the first]] and [[Film/X2XMenUnited second movies]], but her storyline in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' remotes to her being jealous of Bobby and Kitty and [[spoiler:taking an apparent cure]]. Part of it was also because Creator/HalleBerry didn't like Storm's comparatively smaller role and demanded a larger part. But objectively speaking they both were shafted. |
| 280 | ** In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', she only appears in a non-speaking cameo and doesn't even get a close-up. This is because all her other scenes were cut out and then restored on ''The Rogue Cut''. |
| 281 | * FirstGrayHair: In ''Film/XMen1'' she gets her skunk stripe not from age, but [[LockedIntoStrangeness as a result of being used to power Magneto's machine]]. She is asked whether she's considered dyeing it, but replies that she actually thinks it looks kind of cool, and wears it like a battle scar. |
| 282 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: This is why in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', [[spoiler:she decides to take the cure; however, one alternate ending shows her not taking it, and holding hands with Bobby wearing gloves]]. |
| 283 | * InformedAbility: ''Film/XMen1'' talks about, but never shows the mental aspect of her power where she picks up memories and personality fragments from a person she touches in addition to the person's strength/ability. In a scene near the end, Jean says she picked up some of Logan's personality traits, but they're gone by the next scene. In the later films, she seems to gain some measure of control over her powers, which might explain why she doesn't fear losing her mind anymore. |
| 284 | * LockedIntoStrangeness: She gets her white streak because of Magneto's attempted power-transfer toward the end of [[Film/XMen1 the first film]]. |
| 285 | * NamedByTheAdaptation: At the time of the film's release, Rogue's actual name was unrevealed so the film gave her the real name of Marie D'Ancanto. The comic would eventually establish her real name as Anna Marie |
| 286 | * OfficialCouple: With Bobby Drake in ''Film/X2XMenUnited''. They are in the early stages of a romantic relationship, and their challenge is dealing with her mutant ability, as she can kill someone with a prolonged touch. |
| 287 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Everyone calls her Rogue. Marie is only used twice in the entire franchise. |
| 288 | * PowerParasite: Her power involves sapping life energy and powers from those she comes into contact with. [[BlessedWithSuck Whether she wants to or not.]] |
| 289 | * PrecociousCrush: She develops a crush on Logan in the first film and still seems to have it in the second. |
| 290 | * PragmaticAdaptation: Rogue is unable to fly, has no fighting/combat abilities, and does not have super strength or invulnerability. This is because, unlike in the comic books, she has none of the abilities that she acquired from Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers), as the studio didn't have the rights to the latter character. |
| 291 | * TheRunaway: In ''Film/XMen1'', she runs away from home after her power manifests itself while kissing her boyfriend, causing him to have a seizure and fall into a coma for three weeks. |
| 292 | * VampiricDraining: Rogue drains the life force of other people through skin contact. |

| 304 | A student at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters who takes a liking to Rogue. He can change temperatures to subzero degrees and use the moisture in the air to create ice. |
| 305 | ---- |
| 306 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: The movie version is much sweeter and more mature than his comic book counterpart's JerkWithAHeartOfGold[=/=]ManChild persona. |
| 307 | * AdaptationalSexuality: A retroactive example. At the time the films were released, Iceman was portrayed as straight and had girlfriends in the past, but in 2015 he came out as gay. When this happened, Creator/BryanSinger acknowledged in hindsight the irony of pairing the character with Rogue, a girl he could not touch. |
| 308 | * AdaptationalWimp: He never gains the Omega Level CompleteImmortality that he has in the comics, and is able to be killed by being melted. |
| 309 | * AgeLift: Inverted; he's the same age as Rogue, whereas his comic counterpart is closer in age to Cyclops and Jean. |
| 310 | * AscendedExtra: In the first film, he's a fairly minor character whose only notable contribution to the plot is when Mystique impersonates him to infiltrate Xavier's school. In the second film, he's promoted to main cast but still remains mostly on the sidelines. In the third film, he finally becomes a full-fledged member of the X-Men team and even gets his own personal fight scene against Pyro. After the TimeSkip in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he's one of the veteran leaders of the surviving X-Men team in the BadFuture. |
| 311 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:He is alive and well in the AlternateTimeline of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''.]] |
| 312 | * ChivalrousPervert: He adores Rogue in ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', and although he's supposed to be looking the other way, he can't resist taking a peek at her while she's changing into his mother's old clothes. |
| 313 | * DieOrFly: In ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', he engages Pyro in a BeamOWar using their respective mutations. When Bobby is on the verge of being consumed by the flames, his true potential awakens and he transforms into his iconic ice form, allowing him to overpower his opponent and knock him out. |
| 314 | * GreenEyedMonster: Slightly. In the second film he’s shown to not be thrilled about Rogue’s crush on Logan. |
| 315 | * HeroicSacrifice: In the ''Rogue Cut'' of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', [[spoiler:he dies while going on a rescue mission with Professor X and Magneto to save Rogue within the remains of the X-Mansion. When the Sentinels arrive, Bobby tells Magneto to take Rogue and get out before using his powers to create/fortify an ice wall and hold off the Sentinels just long enough for his friends to escape.]] |
| 316 | * AnIcePerson: Uses his mutant ability to create ice. |
| 317 | * ImMelting: In both versions of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', [[spoiler:Bobby is killed the second time when three Sentinels fire their beams at him simultaneously, melting his ice form]]. |
| 318 | * ImNotDoingThatAgain: He says this in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' after Kitty phases him though the ground and back out again. |
| 319 | * LiterallyShatteredLives: During the first battle of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he (in his ice form) is grabbed by a Sentinel, who squeezes his neck until it shatters. |
| 320 | * MundaneUtility: In ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', when Logan wants a cold drink, he gives a Dr. Pepper to Bobby, who uses his powers to chill it. |
| 321 | * NiceGuy: He is one of the nicest mutants. |
| 322 | * OfficialCouple: He and Rogue are this in ''Film/X2XMenUnited''. They are in the early stages of a romantic relationship, and their challenge is dealing with her mutant ability, as she can kill someone with a prolonged touch. In ''The Rogue Cut'' of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he is Kitty's boyfriend, [[spoiler:but when an AlternateTimeline is created, he continues his original relationship with Rogue]]. |
| 323 | * PrettyBoy: His dainty facial features quickly communicate to the audience that he's a good-hearted person. This is especially true in the first movie, where he was only a minor character, but viewers were able to tell right away that "the cute guy" is sincere when trying to befriend Rogue. Moroever, being forced to abandon his family in the second film is more painful when his expression is very much like a puppy dog who has just been kicked. |
| 324 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: In ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', the rule-abiding, NiceGuy Iceman juxtaposes the rebellious, {{Jerkass}} Pyro. At the museum's food court, John is being rude to a young man who asks to borrow his lighter, and Bobby tells his friend to knock it off, plainly disapproving of John's annoying behaviour. When the police order the mutants to get on the ground, Drake immediately obeys, but Allerdyce attacks the officers with giant fire balls. |
| 325 | * SiblingRivalry: Implied, since his brother Ronnie calls the cops claiming that Iceman and the others are holding his family hostage soon after finding out he is a mutant. |
| 326 | * TimePassageBeard: He sports one in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. Shawn Ashmore has said in interviews that it signifies his character's maturity. |
| 327 | * TookALevelInBadass: ''Film/X2XMenUnited'' and ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' have him upgrading from student to X-Men. In the climatic battle of ''The Last Stand'', he finally goes into his full ice form. By the time of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he has taken several more levels, including the debut of the iconic ice slide from the comics. |
| 328 | %%* WellDoneSonGuy: As his visit to his parents shows. |
| 329 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: He and Pyro were friends in ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', but are adversaries in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''. |
| 330 | * YouCantGoHomeAgain: After Stryker's raid on the school in ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', Bobby, Rogue, Logan, and Pyro stopped by the Drake family house in hopes of regrouping, which in the process revealed Bobby's mutant abilities to his parents. His ''own brother'' calls the police and reports them as a threat despite the mutants not harbouring any ill intentions. After Pyro stupidly attacks the officers in the standoff that follows, Bobby is forced to flee with the others knowing he can never come back. |

| 341 | A mutant with the power of 'phasing' (meaning she can make her body insubstantial and travel through solid objects). She later develops Mental Time Travel abilities in between the events of ''The Last Stand'' and ''Days of Future Past''. |
| 342 | ---- |
| 343 | * AscendedExtra: She has cameos in the [[Film/XMen1 first]] [[Film/X2XMenUnited two]] films, and then a more major role in the [[Film/XMenTheLastStand third]] and [[Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast fifth]] (seventh if you include the Wolverine movies) films. |
| 344 | * CompositeCharacter: Rachel Summers's role in [[Comicbook/DaysOfFuturePast the original comic]] is given to her in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. |
| 345 | * DeadlyDodging: Used against Juggernaut in ''The Last Stand'', as she tricks him into crashing into a wall behind her; due to their powers being temporarily nullified by Leech, he's promptly knocked out. |
| 346 | * {{Determinator}}: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', she must keep the link open, is at one point stabbed by Logan when his present body reacts violently to mental trauma in the past. And due to how time runs concurrently in the past and present, it's implied that it takes a few days before Logan and co. can properly stop Mystique, which means that she is slowly bleeding out and can't sleep for that period. |
| 347 | * IndyPloy: To take down Juggernaut, Shadowcat goads him into charging at her and Leech. Leech's power nullifies the Juggernaut's, and when he slams into the wall he gets knocked out. |
| 348 | * IntangibleMan: Her mutation allows her to do phase through solid objects. |
| 349 | * NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', she now somehow has the ability to send people's consciousnesses back through time.[[note]]This power belonged to Rachel Summers in the comic, who can't exist due to both her parents being long dead in the film franchise[[/note]] |
| 350 | * OfficialCouple: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', she became one with Bobby, as confirmed in ''The Rogue Cut''. [[spoiler:In the new timeline, this has been erased and she is implied to be with Colossus, as Bobby is with Rogue again.]] |
| 351 | * ShesAllGrownUp: Bobby Drake has certainly noticed that she's grown into Creator/ElliotPage. [[http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140523084231/marveldatabase/images/0/08/Katherine_Pryde-DoFP.jpg Even more so]] in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. |
| 352 | * UnderageCasting: The viral website stated the events of ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' occurred in 2006 when Kitty appeared to be, at least, in her mid-to-late teens. The BadFuture in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' occurs in 2023, putting Kitty in her early-to-mid 30s given that timeframe even though the films were released just 8 years apart and Creator/ElliotPage was 26 during filming. [[HandWave You could say it might be]] a slow aging effect of her mutation or perhaps just a simple case of OlderThanTheyLook. |

| 369 | * BigBrotherInstinct: In the second film, Colossus herds the younger kids to safety during the attack on the mansion. He's also the one who saves a tranquilized Siryn from being kidnapped and carries her around gently until she regains consciousness. |
| 370 | * TheBigGuy: He is the strongest member of the X-Men and his power revolves around hitting hard and shrugging off blows that could take out most other mutants. |
| 371 | * FastballSpecial: |
| 372 | ** The Trope Namer. He pulls this off with Wolverine as the fastball twice in the third film; the first time to help him decapitate a Sentinel, then to help him [[spoiler:distract Magneto so Beast can inject the villain with the mutant cure]]. |
| 373 | ** In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', ''he's'' the fastball. Blink throws him at the Sentinels by using her portals (first, he goes through one where the other end is high in the air; then, right before he hits the ground, she opens another one with the other end behind a Sentinel). |
| 374 | * FlatCharacter: He becomes a full X-Man in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', but still only has a single line and no discernible personality whatsoever. |

| 399 | A kindly German mutant with a strong Catholic faith, yet ironically he has the appearance of a blue demon. He is capable of teleporting himself (and others) instantly from one location to another. On his body are many scarification marks, one for every sin. After fleeing from East Berlin, he becomes a student at Xavier's school and a member of the X-Men in the AlternateTimeline. |

| 402 | ---- |
| 403 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: He has blue skin as part of his mutation. |
| 404 | * BadassLongcoat: Wears this in most of ''Film/X2XMenUnited''. |
| 405 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: In ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', he is brainwashed by Stryker and forced to conduct a terrorist attack on the White House at the beginning of the film. |
| 406 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He was a major character and a potential love interest for Storm in ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', but he didn't appear in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' because actor Creator/AlanCumming found the make-up and prosthetic process grueling and refused to return to it without Creator/BryanSinger. Cumming can be seen in the behind-the-scenes footage for ''Film/X2XMenUnited'' already stating that he never wants to go through the ordeal again. The [[VideoGame/XMenTheOfficialGame video game]] based on the films which takes place between the two movies explains that he, a peaceful man, went abroad to distance himself from the X-Men's violent lifestyle. |
| 407 | * CircusBrat: He spent most of his life with the Munich circus before he was [[Film/X2XMenUnited kidnapped by Colonel Stryker]]. |
| 408 | * CoveredInScars: He is covered, from his pointy ears to all four of his toes, in rather artistic-looking raised scars. They're self-inflicted; apparently, he felt the need to punish himself for... something. He seems to be a bit of a [[ExtremeDoormat harmless milksop]], so it's somewhat baffling and/or depressing to think about what he could possibly have to feel so guilty about. It could be related to the fact he's a devout Catholic. |
| 409 | * LightningBruiser: As demonstrated by the first scene in ''X2'', his teleportation gives him amazing mobility, which, when coupled with his acrobatic skills, allow him to easily subdue the entirety of the White House security agents. |
| 410 | * TheMagnificent: The Incredible Nightcrawler. He hasn't particularly let it go to his head, possibly because he gained the title as a circus acrobat, but he'll still drop it in occasionally. |
| 411 | * OneManArmy: He single-handedly incapacitates the entire White House Security team. |
| 412 | * OneOfTheKids: In ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', he was excluded from the planning session along with the younger X-Men. |
| 413 | * PluckyComicRelief: He provides some of the more amusing moments in ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', such as constantly bragging about his past as "The Incredible Nightcrawler" and awkwardly eavesdropping on the X-Men planning session with Magneto. |
| 414 | * PutOnABus: He didn't appear in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', with no explanation given. (The in-universe reason appears in ''VideoGame/XMenTheOfficialGame'' where Nightcrawler leaves due to the X-Men's missions clashing with his peaceful nature. The RealLife one was Creator/AlanCumming refused to return without Creator/BryanSinger, especially since he was not fond of the torturous make-up sessions. In one of the behind-the-scenes featurettes, he readily admits that he doesn't think he could come back and go through it again.) The character returns in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', but that film is [[spoiler:set in an AlternateTimeline.]] |
| 415 | * ReligiousBruiser: Even reaches TheAtoner levels in ''Film/X2XMenUnited''. |
| 416 | * RunningGag: In ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', every time he meets someone new, he ''has'' to introduce himself with a long speech... and gets cut off nearly every time. |
| 417 | * ScaryTeeth: He has a mouthful of fangs that were something between human-like and shark-like, rather than merely pointed eyeteeth as in the comics. Fortunately he's a pretty cool guy [[spoiler:when he's not under mind control]]. |
| 418 | * SelfHarm: He admits to Storm that the stylized scars across his body were self-inflicted. |
| 419 | * ShipTease: With Storm in ''Film/X2XMenUnited''. She examines his body ad scars when they first meet, and he later refuses to leave her at the Dark Cerebro even as she drops the room temperature to below zero. |
| 420 | * SkinToneDisguise: The blue-skinned Nightcrawler wears beige/white makeup all over his hands and face (along with a hat and a trench coat) to be able to sneak in the White House unnoticed. |
| 421 | * {{Super Reflexes}}: During the white house attack, the Oval Room sequence features slow motion just to highlight how quickly Nightcrawler can process his envirnoment whilst teleport spamming to avoid gun fire. |
| 422 | * TeleportSpam: His attack on the White House in ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', where he's kicking, throwing, punching, and just beating the crap out of every agent from every angle, with the last one in glorious slow motion. |
| 423 | * TeleportersVisualizationClause: Kurt's teleportation abilities depend on him having a line-of-sight to his destination, and warns the team that trying to travel blindly might result in him [[TeleFrag re-materializing inside a wall]]--meaning that he can't help them get inside Stryker's base under the dam. However, when they have to rescue Professor X from behind the sealed doors of Dark Cerebro, Nightcrawler is called upon to perform a BlindJump; thankfully, he ''just'' manages it with some emotional support from Storm. |
| 424 | * TimeShiftedActor: He is portrayed by two different actors: one as an adult and the other as an adolescent. |
| 425 | * TokenReligiousTeammate: He is a devout Catholic. |
| 426 | * UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: No biological connection is made to Mystique, who he interacts with in ''X2'', or Azazel, a mutant with a similar appearance and powerset who appeared in ''First Class''. In the comics at the time these films were released (before a much later {{retcon}} established that Azazel and Kurt weren't related after all), Mystique and Azazel were the parents of Nightcrawler. In the non-canon ''VideoGame/XMenOriginsWolverine'' video game adaptation it was instead suggested that his parents were Mystique and [[RelatedInTheAdaptation John Wraith]], while in an outtake for ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' Creator/JenniferLawrence would claim Nightcrawler is the son of Mystique and Azazel. |
| 427 | * WhatBeautifulEyes: His irises are yellow. |

| 446 | ---- |
| 447 | * AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Downplayed. Jubilee's comic book counterpart ''technically'' first appeared 1989, but she didn't join the X-Men until UsefulNotes/TheNineties, and is more associated as being from that decade than the original film's era. |
| 448 | * DamselInDistress: She is one of the students captured in the second movie. |
| 449 | * DemotedToExtra: The majority of her focus scenes ended up on the cutting room floor, although some can be found on Youtube. |
| 450 | * TheFashionista: Usually dressed to the nines, whether it be a yellow fleece jacket with black turtleneck, yellow fingerless gloves and heavy chain necklaces in the original film, a green python print jacket, striped crop top, bejewelled choker and baby blue fanny pack in the second movie (both with her signature hoop earrings) and post-apocalyptic gear in [[https://comicbook.com/movies/news/jubilee-was-considered-for-x-men-days-of-future-past/ concept art]] for ''Days of Future Past''. Downplayed in ''The Last Stand'', where she wears khaki pants and a simple purple top. |
| 451 | * ShockAndAwe: Her "fireworks" appear to be more of an electrical/lightning power, which can be seen in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EzFALh6Cvw this deleted scene]]. |
| 452 | * TheVoiceless: Doesn't utter a word her entire time on-screen. |
| 453 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: She was suggested as a member of the future X-Men in ''Days of Future Past'', with her likeness in concept art being based on actress Creator/JamieChung[[note]]who, amusingly, would go on to play Blink in Series/TheGifted2017 while Creator/FanBingBing's version of Blink notably appears in ''Days of Future Past''[[/note]]. |
