Tike Alicar / Anarchist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tike_alicar_earth_616_from_giant_size_x_statix_vol_1_1_001.png

Nationality: American

Species: Human mutant

First Appearance: X-Force #116 (July, 2001)

  • Acid Attack: He can sweat acid and shoot blasts of acidic liquid from his hands.
  • The Artifact: Fears this during the Spike's tenor on the team, as he's sure it signs his death warrant.
  • Back from the Dead: He's finally brought back for real at Krakoa. Reactions from his friends and family haven't been revealed yet.
  • Bloody Murder: Sort of, in that his powers stem from his acidic sweat, which he can use to project powerful acidic force beams.
  • Boy Meets Ghoul: Begins a loose relationship with Dead Girl.
  • Decoy Backstory: Throughout the series' run, Tike was presented as a wild, womanizing bachelor. The X-Statix Special, released years after the series ended, revealed that Tike was actually married and had a son, Mike, who was conveniently old enough to join the new X-Statix alongside Edie Sawyer's now-grown daughter Katie and an Opposite-Sex Clone of Phat.
  • The Glasses Come Off: Immediately before his death.
  • Heritage Disconnect: He struggles with the idea that he's not a "real" black man because he's adopted and was raised by white parents.
  • High-School Sweethearts: Giant X-Statix reveals that despite his womanizing persona and casual relationship with Dead Girl, Tike was actually married to his high-school sweetheart, who bore his only child, Michael Alicar.
  • The Lancer: Every element of his design and personality was specifically crafted to fit into this image.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: Designed to resemble Dennis Rodman in both appearance and personality
  • Sunglasses at Night: While it's never addressed, he is always seen wearing his shades, even in flashbacks to his childhood and in the shower. The implication that they're prescription is fairly strong.
  • 10-Minute Retirement: Quits the team to do a road show in the first arc of X-Statix.

  • Bury Your Gays: A parody version, at least.
  • Captain Ethnic: Every gay stereotype you can imagine rolled up into one package.
  • Manly Gay: An avid bodybuilder and an especially brutal vigilante
  • Retirony: Before the new X-Force's first mission he has a romantic get together with his boyfriend and it's established that he's the only member of the team in a relationship. He dies very soon afterward.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: Died on his first mission

    Coach 

Coach / The Arm

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/127397_60438_coach.jpg

Nationality: American

Species: Human mutant

First Appearance: X-Force #116 (July, 2001)

  • Bad Boss: He did regular purges of the team in order to get rid of any members who might have challenged him, and was not above using his position to pressure female members into sleeping with him.
  • Big Bad: Of the first arc of the series.
  • Broken Pedestal: When he tries to get Edie to kill Guy and it's revealed that he killed all the previous team as a publicity stunt.
  • Dirty Old Man: He has passed Edie over for promotions several times because she refused to sleep with him, and is killed off in the middle of an attempt to rape her.

  • Laser-Guided Karma: He's killed by Edie not long after he tried to rape her paralyzed body, with the same gun he tried to set Guy up to die with.
  • Red Right Hand: He has a missing arm (which apparently used to be superpowered) and red eyes.

    Dead Girl 

Dead Girl

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/x_statix_vol_1_12_textless_5.jpg

Species: Human mutant

First Appearance: X-Force #125 (April, 2002)

  • Friendly Zombie: Dead Girl is a mutant whose power is to return from death as a Revenant Zombie. She is not only friendly, but also a superhero who protects her friends and even starts a romantic relationship with one of her teammates.
  • From a Single Cell: In her first appearance, she gets reduced to a pile of smoking mush on the floor by an energy blast, but totally regenerates a few minutes later.
  • Nigh-Invulnerability: Several versions at once. I mean, she is already dead, what more can you do to her?
  • Progressively Prettier: Early issues often have her drawn as quite wizened and mummified. Soon this changes so that she usually just looks like a really hot girl with blue-grey skin and rings round her eyes, although she occasionally looks more "dead" when she uses her spiritual powers.

    Doop 

Doop

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/doop00.jpg

Species: Artificial being

First Appearance: X-Force #116 (July, 2001)

  • Breakout Character: The only character in X-Statix to become a regular in the larger X-Men world.
  • Intelligible Unintelligible: One page actually provides a translation from the symbols he speaks in to English letters. For the most part, it's still accurate even in Doop's modern appearances.
  • Noodle Incident: Doop's history before joining the team is occasionally hinted at but never really explored. Suffice it to say, he knows Wolverine well enough that Wolvie knows Doop-speak.
  • Token Non-Human: He's an artificial being in a team of mutants.
  • Wing Ding Lish: However, it has been claimed that Doop's dialogue is in a wingding font known as "Roswell Wreckage".

    Robbie Rodriguez / El Guapo 

Roberto "Robbie" Rodriguez / El Guapo

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/224285_175394_el_guapo.jpg

Species: Human mutant

First Appearance: X-Statix #9 (May, 2003)

  • Alliterative Name: Robbie Rodriguez.
  • Canon Immigrant: In canon itself, no less; he was originally just an actor hired for the X-Statix movie to play a new character (the studio felt that the team lineup needed more diversity) who caught the attention of the real X-Statix and got hired to the real team.
  • Companion Cube: He talks to his skateboard when nobody else is around, and even has arguments with it that sometimes get physical. Whether he's out of his mind and doing it himself or the board is partially sentient is never established.
  • Dropped a Bridge on Him: Received probably the single most unceremonious death of any member of the team.
  • Latin Lover: With a name that means "the handsome one"...
  • New Meat: After joining the team he has his own mini arc about getting used to the sudden fame.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: He's named for, and modelled after, director Robert Rodriguez, a friend of Mike Allred.
  • Totally Radical: His whole schtick is based on skater culture.

    Henrietta Hunter 

Henrietta Hunter

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/224288_5260_henrietta_hunter.jpg

Nationality: European

Species: Human mutant

First Appearance: X-Statix #13 (October, 2003)

  • Brown Note: Her vengeful spirit turns her doubly-posthumous hit single into this.
  • Comic-Book Fantasy Casting: Looks suspiciously like Diana, Princess of Wales with dark hair. (She was originally actually going to be Diana, but Marvel vetoed this.)

    Arnie Lundberg / the Mysterious Fan Boy 

Arnie K. Lundberg / the Mysterious Fan Boy

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fanboy_2.jpg

Nationality: American

Species: Human mutant

First Appearance: X-Statix #1 (September, 2002)

  • Big Bad: Of the first arc of X-Statix
  • The Cape: During his time with X-Statix he tried his damnedest to adhere to this archetype and his innocent worship pushed the rest of the team to at least try and do the same.
  • Good Scars, Evil Scars: His face is terribly scarred on one side
  • Psychopathic Manchild: Reality isn't something that agrees with Arnie all that much. The answer, of course, is to simply use his powers to change it.
  • Reality Warper: He can completely change people's appearances, read minds, and bring back the dead, among other powers.
  • Red Right Hand: He is missing half of his face. He also has a warped sense of right and wrong, and used his powers to take over his hometown.
  • Stalker with a Crush: He thought he was in love with Edie, even though they'd never really met.
  • Straw Fan: Arnie was a huge fan of X-Force, but invokeddoesn't think much of the change to X-Statix or Edie, his favorite member of the team, being killed and replaced.

    Guy Smith / Mister Sensitive 

Guy Smith / Orphan, aka Mister Sensitive

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/orphan_7.png

Nationality: American

Species: Human mutant

First Appearance: X-Force #117 (August, 2001)

  • Amazing Technicolor Population: His skin is a purplish pink.
  • Blessed with Suck: His senses are so acute they cause him intense pain, and he needed a lot of meditation and a special suit to function properly.
  • Death Seeker: Has a secret death wish, if his daily game of Russian Roulette is any indication.
    • He stopped this after he started dating Edie, only to pick it up again after her death.
  • Disability Superpower: In an interesting use of the trope, the Orphan's senses are so strong that they're extremely debilitating.
  • I Let Gwen Stacy Die: Is hit with this really hard after Edie dies, and it's the focus of the following arc, the first one of X-Statix.
  • Meaningful Rename: After his first mission, which involved reuniting a child with his parents, he changed his codename to "the Orphan" so he'd never forget his roots. He kept the name even after discovering his parents had been alive the whole time, partially on the advice of his publicist. After the Henrietta Hunter debacle, he changed it back to Mr. Sensitive.
  • Only Sane Man: He's probably the most grounded member of the cast. Spike Freeman lampshades this by saying he's saner than all of them put together (not that it's saying much).
  • Parental Abandonment: When they discovered he was a mutant. Worse, they topped it off by burning their house down with him inside. And he was 3 years old at the time.
  • Reincarnation Romance: Parodied in the Dead Girl miniseries: we find Guy initially searching for Edie in Heaven, but later find out that they already resumed their love affair there and that she dumped him because she wasn't ready to make an eternal commitment.
  • Super-Senses: The Orphan's powers, exaggerated to the point of deconstruction.
  • Unexplained Recovery: How he came back from the dead the second time is unexplained.

    William Robert Reilly / Phat 

William Robert "Billy Bob" Reilly / Phat

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/phatxstatix1.jpg

Nationality: American

Species: Human mutant

First Appearance: X-Force #117 (August, 2001)

  • Armoured Closet Gay: After claiming he was never really gay and that was just a phase he was going through; somehow this caused his powers to become unreliable/disappear almost entirely until he told the truth and permanently came out.
  • Faux Yay: Myles and Phat until they realise that they both really are gay.
  • Gayngster: The image he ended up projecting.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: Dies shielding everyone else from the bomb implanted in Mister Code's body.
  • Multiple-Choice Past: When Phat first appears, he had a happy upper-class upbringing and is only pretending to have been a hard-luck gangbanger. When his parents appear a second time, they really are white trash (although it's possible they might be acting as well).
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: Specifically meant to resemble Eminem.
  • Opposite-Sex Clone: Doop created a female version of him named Phatty to succeed him at the new X-Statix.
  • Rubber Man: Of a sort. When inflated with extradimensional gunk, he has the bouncing and durability powers of a Rubber Man.
  • Shock Value Relationship: Vivisector and Phat's relationship started as a publicity stunt, and they eventually decided that while they are both gay, that's all it was and they were never really attracted to each other.
  • Spear Counterpart: He's basically a gay male version of Ashley Crawford, aka Big Bertha of the Great Lakes Avengers; both of them are mutants who can inflate their bodies to enormously obese proportions, a state that grants them Super-Strength and Super-Toughness.
  • Stout Strength: His powers are that he can fill up his body with extradimensional gunk, causing it to balloon to grotesque proportions and increasing his strength exponentially
  • White Gangbangers: Phat deliberately crafted this image around himself as a ploy to gain X-Force membership; he's actually from a very wealthy family.

    Saint Anna 

Saint Anna

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1902706_saintanna00.jpg

Nationality: Irish

Species: Human mutant

First Appearance: X-Force #117 (August, 2001)

  • Chocolate Baby: Her dad was an Argentinian priest and her mother was a white Irish woman. Everyone figured out who her dad was the moment Anna was born.
  • The "Fun" in "Funeral": "Here, your daughter wanted us to bring her ashes to you so you c-ACHOO. Whoops."
  • Healing Hands: When using her healing abilities. Though strangely, she seems unable to use her powers on herself when she gets shot and dies.
  • Not So Above It All: While considered saintly, at least one instance showed Anna agreeing with the rest of the team to kill someone and she threatened to haunt Guy if he didn't bring her ring to her father. Though both instances were under extreme emotional distress, and otherwise there were no indications her faith wasn't legitimate.
  • Only Sane Man: From what little we saw of her she wasn't as vain, superficial, emotionally scarred, or self-absorbed as the rest of the group.
  • Sacrificial Lamb: Was one of the first casualties of the new line-up alongside Bloke.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: She just lasted for three issues before dying.
  • White Magician Girl: Saintly young woman with healing powers.

Nationality: American

Species: Human mutant

First Appearance: X-Force #116 (July, 2001)

  • Amazing Technicolor Population: Her skin is a lilac hue.
  • Cool Big Sis: Tells her daughter she's this.
  • Cleavage Window: In an X shape.
  • Functional Addict: Usually required some sort of drug to make her powers work, strongly implied to be a form of Kick.
  • Legacy Character: Her daughter Katie Sawyer eventually chose to join X-Statix in place of her mother.
  • No Hero to His Valet: Edie was a huge star, beloved by almost everyone... except her own daughter Katie, who resents her for abandoning her and not even having the decency to tell her that she was her daughter.
  • Parental Abandonment: She left her baby with her parents because she wasn't ready to be a mother.
  • Reincarnation Romance: Parodied in the Dead Girl miniseries: we find Guy initially searching for Edie in Heaven, but later find out that they already resumed their love affair there and that she dumped him because she wasn't ready to make an eternal commitment.

Nationality: American

Species: Human mutant

First Appearance: X-Statix #1 (September, 2002)

  • Can't Have Sex, Ever: Because she doesn't really have a body. Then Professor X shows her a special suit he had made in case she ever wanted a relationship to go in that direction.
  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Nowhere to be seen or even mentioned in the Dead Girl miniseries, which involved the Orphan in the afterlife still pining after U-Go Girl.
    • Giant Size X-Statix reveals she's technically still alive, but it will take years for her to reform.
  • Death by Origin Story: Subverted as usual: when her powers first manifested she accidentally teleported her family away to an unknown fate and she was terrified that she killed them or sent them to a hell-dimension, but when she finally finds them in another dimension they've been having a perfectly OK time.
  • Energy Beings: Has no real body and is now made of energy.
  • Invisible Anatomy: Her upper arms and legs
  • Kirby Dots: Her character design is a Shout-Out to the technique.
  • Senseless Sacrifice: Gives up her chance of surviving the final battle in an attempt to save Guy and Tike. It doesn't work.
  • Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Considered one within the canon itself, especially by fanboys like Arnie Lundberg.

  • Badass Bookworm: A writer and a badass werewolf.
  • Bash Brothers: With Phat after they both realize they're not attracted to each other.
  • Calling the Old Man Out: Except Myles himself, no matter how harsh his feelings for his father turned, could never bring himself to express these frustrations; it took a Mad Scientist who had taken his powers (and, unwittingly, primal thoughts and feelings) for himself for them to ever get out.
  • Career-Ending Injury: He is left paralyzed from the waist down after the first battle with X-Cellent.
  • Expy: he is Wesley from Angel, if Wesley were a gay werewolf.
  • Faux Yay: Myles and Phat until they realize that they both really are gay.
  • Incompatible Orientation: Myles develops a crush on El Guapo. Unfortunately for him, El Guapo is straight. His attempts to flirt with Hawkeye fare no better.
  • Know When to Fold 'Em: After barely surviving the mission that killed almost everyone else in X-Statix, he chose to retire and focus on writing, only venturing back into superheroics years later because Doop and Dead Girl recruited him.
  • Our Werewolves Are Different: Myles isn't a traditional werewolf, just a mutant who can turn into a wolfman.
  • Shock Value Relationship: Vivisector and Phat's relationship started as a publicity stunt, and they eventually decided that while they are both gay, that's all it was and they were never really attracted to each other.
  • Straight Gay: He's not stereotypically gay in the classic series, but becomes much campier in X-Cellent.
  • The Unfavorite: Nothing that Vivisector does will ever be good enough for his Ivy-League professor dad.
  • "Well Done, Son" Guy: Wanted nothing more than earn the approval of his father.

  • Disappointed in You: She's been trying to invoke this out of her mom and dad for some time, as the only way she can tell if she's doing something worthwhile is if they don't approve of it. After all, every other mutant hero in the Marvel universe had parents who hated them, so how can she be doing good if her parents agree with her?

  • Carpet of Virility: Since his power consists on generating clouds made of his chest-hair.
  • Heart Is an Awesome Power: Fluff's ability to generate hair-follicle clouds seems like an utterly useless power up until Zeitgeist tries to use his corrosive vomit against him, and discovers that all that fluff absorbs his vomit easily. He can also alter the chemical composition of the fluff, transforming it into a cyanoacrylate - fast-setting glue.
  • Navel-Deep Neckline: His costume has a wide opening for his hairy chest.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: He bears a strong resemblance to a young Mick Jagger.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: Barely lasts more than Joe Bomb before he's killed by Whoosh for opposing Zeitgeist.
