Mutant Response Division
Senator Robert Kelly
Senator Robert Kelly
Voiced by: Richard Doyle Foreign VAs
First appearance: "Hindsight, Part 1"
Senator Robert Kelly is a politician who takes a decidedly anti-mutant stance and views them as a threat to humanity. He worked with Bolivar Trask to create the Sentinels, starting with the Sentinel Prowlers. He pushed for the Mutant Registration Act and supported the Mutant Response Division.
- Antagonistic Governor: He is this towards the mutants as with most versions.
- Enemy Mine: He and Magneto had a deal in which the MRD would deport all their captives to Genosha. The deal ended when Magneto learned that Kelly was secretly keeping the most powerful mutants under lock and key.
- Everyone Has Standards: Kelly may be an anti-mutant bigot and is willing to start a war with Genosha, but the moment he learns what the outcome of that war will be from Charles Xavier, he immediately puts the Sentinel Project on hold and addresses the public in an effort to de-escalate the situation. While self-preservation for himself and humanity likely plays a part in it, he's still clearly horrified by everything he sees and despite his hatred of mutants, even he wouldn't wish that fate on them.
- Fantastic Racism: Against mutants, especially since they keep targeting him for death.
- Knight Templar: As a diametric opposite to Magneto, he wants a country where people are safe from dangerous mutants but does so by supporting reforms and having machines built that put innocent and harmless mutants in danger.
- Large Ham: Being a politician, this comes with the territory.
- Only Sane Man: Senator Kelly is notable for being pretty much the only one of the numerous characters to fill the "anti-mutant politician" role in this series who is allowed to have a realistic and layered opinion on mutants, as opposed to being just a frothing Straw Character.
- Super Registration Act: The Mutant Registration Act, his signature legislative bill that he is trying to get passed.
- Truer to the Text: He's much more faithful to his comic book counterpart than the Evolution version via retaining his name and role as a mutant-hating politician, whereas the aforementioned series changed his name and made him a high school principal.
Warren Worthington II
Warren Worthington II
Voiced by: Jim Ward
First appearance: "Hindsight, Part 2"
Warren Worthington II is a rich man and the father of Angel. He also funds the M.R.D., which causes disputes between him and his son. After his son nearly killed him and destroyed his company for taking his wings, he regretted of his decision to fund Kelly's anti-mutant campaign.
- Composite Character: Of both the version of himself from X-Men: The Last Stand (funds a cure for mutants and anti-mutant programs, tells himself that he only wants what's best for Warren despite the truth otherwise, has a Heel Realization about his actions) and Cameron Hodge (in addition to funding anti-mutant programs, he's the cause for the lost of Warren III's wings and by extension Warren III's Face–Heel Turn).
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: He finances senator Kelly's anti-mutant campaign platform, and provides the MRD's R&D and hardware as well; needless to say, his son disagrees vocally. Unfortunately, by the time he realizes he's being a gigantic dick, it's too little too late, both to stop the anti-mutant movement from becoming a viable political and paramilitary force on its own and to save his son from becoming Mister Sinister's brainwashed minion, leaving him with nothing but now cold and empty financial and material comforts and a mountain of regrets.
- Heel Realization: Upon realizing his actions have alienated his son and resulted in Warren becoming Archangel, he cuts his ties off from the MRD and Kelly.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Warren III's attacks resulted in a Heel Realization for Warren II.
Bolivar Trask
Bolivar Trask
Voiced by: Phil LaMarr
First appearance: "Thieves' Gambit"
Bolivar Trask is a scientist working for Senator Robert Kelly alongside Dr. Sybil Zane on creating the Sentinel Program.
- Anti-Villain: Trask never even says, far less does, anything obviously "evil," personally, and all his villainous actions are motivated by his very genuine desire to save humanity from mutants, that he considers (mistakingly, but far from wholly unjustified) a deadly danger to its very survival.
- Ascended Extra: In the comics, Trask has appeared in only a couple of stories over some fifty years of continuity, not counting flashbacks (though having died in his first story helps). He has a major role in this adaptation.
- Fantastic Racism: Naturally, it is against mutants, but in a rather more sane and nuanced way than many of the anti-mutant villains of the setting.
- Humongous Mecha: He is responsible for creating the Sentinels.
- Nothing Personal: Trask has nothing personally against the mutants, or any individual mutant; he just viewed mutantkind, collectively, as a threat against humanity, even if there were decent individuals among them.
- Omnidisciplinary Scientist: Played with. Despite being an anthropologist, Trask leads the design work on the Sentinels, which does require expertise in a number of quite different, and quite unrelated, scientific fields.
The Sentinels
The Sentinels
Voiced by: Jim Ward
First appearance: "Hindsight, Part 3"
The Sentinels are a series of large humanoid robots designed by Bolivar Trask and the Mutant Response Division to combat various mutant threats. The Sentinels can fly, shoot various weapons from different parts of their bodies, and are able to detect mutants at long range.
- Cyber Cyclops: The Wolverine-based Sentinels have one red eye.
- Humongous Mecha: They are giant robots that are programmed by mutant-hating humans to hunt down mutants.
- Killer Robot: As per usual, the Sentinels are created to track down Mutants.
- Mechanical Evolution: The Sentinels from the apocalyptic future begin copying the powers of captured mutants.
- Purple Is Powerful: In the present, the Sentinels have purple shells.
- Would Hurt a Child: If the opening is anything to go by, they will target children if they're mutants.
The Sentinels Prowlers
The Sentinels Prowlers
First appearance: "Hindsight, Part 2"
The Sentinels Prowlers are the early model for the Sentinel series commissioned by Senator Robert Kelly and built by Bolivar Trask and the Mutant Response Division. They were designed to combat mutants.
- Canon Foreigner: They were created for the series due to the fact that the producers of the show did not believe that people in real life would easily accept the larger humanoids at first and wanted to show a progression with the Sentinels and escalation of tensions.
- Spider Tank: They have the appearance of one.
Master Mold
Master Mold
Voiced by: Gwendoline Yeo
First appearance: "Future X"
Master Mold is an AI that was commissioned by the Mutant Response Division and designed by Bolivar Trask in order to construct and command Sentinel units.
- Aborted Arc: She is still out there trapped in the body of a Sentinel and the series was canceled before she could be destroyed.
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Her future form is huge.
- Brain Uploading: The X-Men try trashing the facility her AI was stored in, but she escaped into a Sentinel.
- The Computer Is Your Friend: In the Bad Future.
- Composite Character: Master Mold is combined with Danger, the evil sentient A.I. from Joss Whedon's run. Because of this, Master Mold is depicted as a Fembot.
- Gender Flip: Master Mold is found to be female instead of male.
- The Juggernaut: Master Mold completely No-Sells Polaris's attack, and then just sucks up all the X-Men. Given it's the last we see before that future is undone, there's a good possibility she managed to kill them all.
- Order Versus Chaos: Sees the very existence of Mutants as being against the natural order. So the logical solution is to kill every last one.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: All of Master Mold's forms have glowing red eyes.
Dr. Sybil Zane
Dr. Sybil Zane
Voiced by: Kari Wahlgren
First appearance: "Thieves' Gambit"
Dr. Sybil Zane was one of the scientists working for the M.R.D. through creating anti-mutant weapons.
- Canon Foreigner: She was created for the series.
- Cool Car: Drives a Ferrari-styled one in her debut episode.

Colonel Moss
Colonel Moss
Voiced by: Michael Ironside
First appearance: "Hindsight, Part 1"
Colonel Moss is the leader of the Mutant Response Division and has a vendetta against Wolverine as Moss has claw marks across his face thanks to Wolverine at some point in the past. He was a former head of Weapon X that worked under Professor Thorton and Abraham Cornelius.
- Composite Character: He's based on the Ultimate version of John Wraith (a white human as opposed to a black mutant), but his future self evokes Ahab.
- Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: His future self has become part-Sentinel, though it doesn't seem like there was much soul to lose in the first place.
- Disney Villain Death: The last that's seen of Future Moss is Logan throwing him over a railing.
- Expy: He is based on the Ultimate Marvel version of John Wraith, physically, though he's slightly less insane and sadistic.
- Logical Weakness: Being half-human means his bad future self is vulnerable to Charlie X's telepathy. At least until the Sentinel half notices it's been compromised (only after several minutes) and switches over.
- Robo Speak: In the bad future. Of course, given his default method of speech is Creepy Monotone anyway, it helps indicate when his Sentinel side's taking over.
- Scars Are Forever: At some point in the past, Wolverine permanently scarred his face, leaving three claw marks as an eternal reminder.
- Would Hurt a Child: Colonel Moss has no qualms doing this, whether or not the child is a mutant.
Dr. Kavita Rao
Dr. Kavita Rao
Voiced by: Susan Dalian
First appearance: "Battle Lines"
Dr. Kavita Rao is a scientist who was working for the MRD and has been watching over a box containing Tildie Soames before being knocked out by Mystique disguised as Colonel Moss.
