Hero teams

X-Men

X-Factor

X-Factor is the mutant U.S. government group that was most notably seen in the episode "Cold Comfort". However, X-Factor also could be seen briefly in episodes Sanctuary Parts 1 and 2.

Alpha Flight

Alpha Flight was seen in the episode "Repo Man." Vindicator (who had renamed himself Guardian in the comics) and the Canadian Alpha Flight capture Wolverine. The Canadian government demands their project back. Either he joins their team as originally planned or they repossess his indestructible, adamantium skeleton.

  • Vindicator / James MacDonald Hudson (voiced by Barry Flatman) – Alpha Flight's leader. His powered suit allows him to fly, fire energy blasts, and create a personal force field.
  • Shaman / Michael Twoyoungmen (voiced by Don Francks) – A member of Alpha Flight.
  • Puck / Eugene Milton Judd
    (voiced by Don Francks) – A short member of Alpha Flight with super-strength, agility, reflexes, and durability.
  • Snowbird / Narya (voiced by Melissa Sue Anderson) – A member of Alpha Flight with Flight and the ability to morph into Arctic creatures.
  • Northstar / Jean-Paul Beaubier (voiced by Rene Lemieux) – A member of Alpha Flight who can fly and generate a flash of blinding light which he can share when slapping hands with his sister Aurora. Northstar appeared in the episodes "Slave Island" and "Repo Man." Though he didn't have any speaking role in "Slave Island," the episode "Repo Man" proved to hold to the character's origins as his trademark French Canadian accent was present. In "Slave Island" Jean-Paul was a hostage/prisoner of the island nation of Genosha. He, along with many other mutants, provided slave labor for the government using their mutant skills for such tasks as building dams and the like. They wore special collars that restricted them from using their powers to escape and slept in prison-like cells. They eventually escaped Genosha with the help of the X-Men. In "Repo Man," Northstar is shown as part of the Canadian special forces team Alpha Flight, which tries to convince former member Wolverine to re-join.
  • Aurora / Jeanne Marie Beaubier (voiced by Jennifer Dale) – A member of Alpha Flight who shares Northstar's powers when they slap hands. Aurora appeared in the episodes "Slave Island" and "Repo Man."
  • Sasquatch / Dr. Walter Langowski (voiced by Harvey Atkin) – A scientific genius and member of Alpha Flight. He is a massive Bigfoot-like creature with superhuman strength, healing factor, sharp claws, and teeth.
  • Dr. Heather Hudson (voiced by Rebecca Jenkins) – A scientist and member of Alpha Flight who is the wife of James Hudson

Xavier's Security Enforcers and The Resistance (in Bishop's future)

  • Forge – This aged version of Forge leads Xavier's Security Enforcers, a team that resists the Sentinels in the "Days of Future Past" timeline, alongside Wolverine, Bishop, and Shard. In the altered timeline, created when Fitzroy murdered Professor X, Forge is a servant of Master Mold, having been transformed into a cyborg like his counterpart in the Age of Apocalypse.
  • Wolverine – This aged version of Wolverine is also a member of the Resistance.
  • Shard / Shard Bishop (voiced by Kay Tremblay in the original series, Kimberly Woods in the revival series) – Shard is seen in the "Beyond Good and Evil" storyline when Bishop is sucked back into the time-portal and trapped in the Axis of Time. Shard comes back to the present to find her brother; however, when she gets to the present, she sees Mr. Sinister trying to kidnap Professor X, so she stops him. Then she asks the X-Men for help in finding her brother.
  • Malcolm and Randall are shown as members in Shard's video recordings.

Clan Chosen (in Cable's future)

X-Terminators (unnamed)

Guest allies

  • Senator Robert Kelly (voiced by Len Carlson in the original series, Ron Rubin in the revival series[1]) – Robert Kelly ran for president on an anti-mutant campaign during the beginning of the show's first season. Kelly came to befriend the X-Men and support mutants shortly after he is elected president in the season's final episode after the X-Men had rescued him from both an assassination attempt by Mystique and an attempted brainwashing by Master Mold. In the first episode of season two, Kelly took office as president, spoke out in support of mutants, and made his first presidential act an official pardoning of Beast, who had been unfairly arrested early in season one. These actions led Kelly's former, anti-mutant supporters to feel betrayed by him and create the public anti-mutant backlash that pervaded the entire second season of the show. In the third through fifth seasons of the series, President Kelly had a low profile. He remained friendly with the X-Men through the show's end, working with them to confront global mutant threats such as Magneto building an armed, inhabitable, mutants-only asteroid
    in space during the fourth season.
  • Sunspot / Roberto da Costa (voiced by Gui Agustini) – Da Costa first appears in "To Me, My X-men", the revival series' premiere episode. He is the newest recruit of the X-Men with the mutant ability to channel large concentrations of solar energy. His character arc is similar to that of Jubilee when she first joined the team, and they develop a close relationship.
  • flashbacks
    . In this version, he overcomes the Death persona to become Archangel thanks to Rogue, who saps the evil that lay within him when she touches him. In the revival series, he appears in the episode "Remember It", having travelled to the mutant nation Genosha.
  • Iceman / Bobby Drake (voiced by Jesse Collins[2]) – Bobby Drake appeared as a former member of the team, who quit due to disagreements with Xavier. He appears in the episode "Cold Comfort" where he gets Jubilee's help to rescue his girlfriend Lorna Dane (not called Polaris here) from a government facility that is housing the X-Factor. In the series, Iceman was seen in many flashbacks which include "Sanctuary (part 1)" and "Xavier Remembers."
  • Moira MacTaggert (voiced by Lally Cadeau in the original series, Martha Marion in the revival series) – An ally and old lover of Charles Xavier, she is a geneticist and an expert in mutant affairs. In the revival series, she appears in the episode "Remember It", as a member of the council of the mutant nation Genosha.
  • Banshee / Sean Cassidy (voiced by Phillip Williams in the original series, David Errigo Jr in the revival series) – Moira's fiancé who possesses a superhuman scream. In the revival series, he appears in the episode "Remember It", as a member of the council of the mutant nation Genosha.
  • Colossus / Piotr Rasputin (voiced by Robert Cait) – A mutant who can transform his body into organic steel which grants him super-strength. The X-Men helped Colossus when he was framed for crimes committed by Juggernaut. He later comes to them when Omega Red is attacking Russia.
  • Dazzler / Alison Blaire – Dazzler appears as a background character in "Mojovision" and is central to the plot of "Dark Phoenix Saga (Part 1): Dazzled". In the revival series, she appears in the episode "Remember It", having travelled to the mutant nation Genosha.
  • Lilandra Neramani (voiced by Camilla Scott in the original series, Morla Gorrondonna in the revival series) – Lilandra appeared in the third season. There, she sought the help of Professor X and his X-Men to help her defeat her evil brother D'Ken. During the short time they shared alone, Xavier and Lilandra quickly fell in love and eventually managed to defeat D'Ken. When Lilandra became the new heir to the Shi'ar throne, she kissed and thanked Xavier for his help and even offered for him to join her, but he declined to do this for as long as there was no peace between mankind and mutants. Lilandra left but eventually returned to Earth when Xavier became deadly ill in the final episode of the show. She took Xavier to the Shi'ar Empire with her so they could heal him. In the revival series, she first appeared in the episode "Lifedeath - Part 2" in which she was set to marry Charles Xavier after he was fully healed. After dealing with Deathbird and the Imperial Guard in the Astral Plane, Charles had to call off the marriage to Lilandra after sensing the Wild Sentinel attack on Genosha.
  • M'Kraan crystal; the "Dark Phoenix Saga," showcasing the battle with the Hellfire Club; the Phoenix's transformation into Dark Phoenix; and the battle to decide Jean's fate. These particular episodes are as close as the cartoon came to directly duplicating the comic book storyline. The "Dark Phoenix Saga" is so accurate to the original stories that the episodes have the additional credit, "Based on stories by Chris Claremont." Rather than destroying an inhabited system, the animated story had her destroy a deserted system and only disable the attacking Shi'ar
    cruiser. After the Phoenix left Jean's body, Jean retained her original powers, whereas, in the aborted comic book ending, she would have been lobotomized by the Shi'ar and lost entirely.
  • Illyana Rasputina (voiced by Tara Strong in the original series, Courtenay Taylor in the revival series) – Illyana appeared in the episode "Red Dawn." In that episode, she and her mother remained by the side of Colossus and the X-Men as they fought the newly released Omega Red. She also appeared in one of Cable's visions of the altered timestream in "Time Fugitives," in which, without the antibodies developed to fight Apocalypse's techno-organic virus, many mutants, like Illyana, developed harmful mutations that killed them. In the revival series, Magik as Darkchylde appears as one of the horrific visions induced by Goblin Queen.
  • Psylocke / Elizabeth Braddock (voiced by Tasha Simms) – Psylocke appears during the fourth season in the episode "The Promise of Apocalypse" (Beyond Good and Evil, part 2), and in the episode "End and Beginning" (Beyond Good and Evil, part 4). In this storyline, Psylocke appears to be a lone warrior who practices theft with a cause (a-la-Robin Hood). She comes into direct conflict with Archangel and, later on, Sabretooth and Mystique. She refers to her brother as fighting to help mutants but does not name him as Captain Britain.
  • Silver Fox – Silver Fox appeared in the episode "Weapon X, Lies & Videotape." In this continuity, she too was a member of Team X, Wolverine's lover, and a victim of the Weapon X program.
  • Maverick / Christoph Nord – Maverick appeared in the episode "Weapon X, Lies & Videotape," searching for answers about his past and his involvement with Weapon X, teaming with Wolverine, Sabretooth, and Silver Fox. In the episode "Whatever It Takes," the character Morph briefly turns into Maverick to taunt Wolverine. Maverick also appears in flashbacks that depict himself and Wolverine battling Omega Red, though that memory could be one of Weapon X's implanted memories.
  • Darkstar / Laynia Petrovna (voiced by Elizabeth Rukavina) – Darkstar guest-starred in the episode "Red Dawn." She is initially the mutant enforcer for a group of rogue Russian generals seeking to reestablish the Soviet Union with the aid of Omega Red. After witnessing the crimes committed by Omega Red, Darkstar rebels against the generals and sides with the X-Men and Colossus.
  • Lord Araki (voiced by Gavin Hammon in the revival series) – the Chancellor of the Shi'ar Empire.
  • Spiral
    .
  • Ka-Zar / Kevin Plunder (voiced by Robert Bockstael) – An ally of the X-Men whi lives in the Savage Land. Ka-Zar appeared in the episodes "Reunion" (parts 1 and 2) and "Savage Land, Strange Heart" (parts 1 and 2).
    • Zabu – Ka-Zar's smilodon companion.
    • Shanna (voiced by Megan Smith) – Shanna is Ka-Zar's wife.
  • Warlock (voiced by David Corban) – Warlock's history was altered so that he came to Earth to escape his destiny of merging with the Phalanx.
  • Cannonball / Sam Guthrie – Cannonball made a small appearance along with his sister, Paige Guthrie, in the episode "Hidden Agenda." The episode featured Rogue learning about a new mutant that had been making waves in her hometown. However, his appearance caused a violation of continuity, as Cannonball had already made a cameo appearance (on a video screen in "Night of the Sentinels"), employing his mutant power and with blond hair.
  • Captain America / Steve Rogers (voiced by Lawrence Bayne) – Captain America appears in the episode "Old Soldiers." He is an American agent, sent along with the Canadian Wolverine, to rescue a scientist kidnapped by the Red Skull and the Nazis. He is present in the episode only in Wolverine's flashbacks. He was also seen in a cameo appearance in the episode "Red Dawn."
  • Ms. Marvel / Carol Danvers (voiced by Roscoe Handford) – Ms. Marvel appears in the episode "A Rogue's Tale" (season 2), where she haunts Rogue for stealing her powers and leaving her in a coma.
  • Scarlet Witch / Wanda Maximoff (voiced by Susan Roman) – The Scarlet Witch made both a guest and a cameo appearance. She appeared in the episode "Family Ties" along with Quicksilver when they tried to find out who their father was.
  • Mjnari – Mjnari appeared in the episode "Whatever It Takes." In this episode, the Shadow King takes over Mjnari's body, so Rogue and Storm go to Africa to help him. Mjnari is a mutant with superhuman speed. He is also Storm's godson.
  • Darrell Tanaka (voiced by Denis Akiyama) – A mutant healer in the mutant town of Skull Mesa. Like Mjnari, he's an original character.
  • Cody Robbins – Cody was the first boy Rogue ever kissed, triggering her consciousness-stealing powers and putting him into a coma. He makes a flashback appearance in the episode "A Rogue's Tale" (season 2) and plays a supporting role in the episode "Love in Vain" (season 4) where he joins forces with the Brood Colony
    to reunite with Rogue.

Neutral characters

Neutral groups

Starjammers

The

Corsair (Major Christopher Summers). In this episode, the Starjammers attack the X-Men and steal the M'Kraan crystal, in hopes of trading into D'Ken so that Corsair can get close enough to kill him. However, D'Ken knew of their plan and tricked them, and got hold of the M'Kraan crystal. The Starjammers have to work with the X-Men to destroy D'Ken. Hepzibah, Raza Longknife, Ch'od
, and Cr+eee were the Starjammers that appeared along with Corsair in the "Phoenix Saga." Corsair later appeared in the episode "Orphan's End." In this episode, Corsair is on the run from a corrupt Shi'ar police officer and he comes to Earth. Later, he finds out that Cyclops is his son. They first accuse Storm of being a traitor and attack her. After she explains to the Starjammers what is happening, they help Cyclops and Corsair defeat the officer.

Acolytes

The

Acolytes
appear in the "Sanctuary" storyline, in which Magneto builds Asteroid M as a haven for all mutants to live away from the hatred of baseline humans. The Acolytes, led by Fabian Cortez, aided Magneto in the liberation of the Genoshan mutant slaves from the hands of the Genoshan magistrates. After Cortez betrays Magneto and he is believed to have been killed by the X-Men, the Acolytes pledge their loyalty to Cortez, though they turn on him after he is later exposed.

  • Fabian Cortez (voiced by Jeffrey Max Nicholls) – Cortez appeared in the two-part episode "Sanctuary." As in the comic's storyline, Cortez was the leader of the Acolytes and used his powers to bolster Magneto's abilities. However, Cortez's extreme anti-human sentiments led him to betray Magneto. Cortez threatened to destroy Earth but was stopped by the X-Men and Amelia Voght, who revealed Cortez's betrayal to the other Acolytes and the entire mutant population of Asteroid M. He was trapped in Asteroid M by a vengeful Magneto, but was rescued from its destruction by Apocalypse and Deathbird. Apocalypse granted him the ability to alter the mutations of other mutants. Cortez then appeared in the final season episode "The Fifth Horseman," now turned into a servant and worshipper of his savior. Cortez assembled a cult worshipping Apocalypse as well as the Hounds, a foursome of altered mutants, in an attempt to find a new body for Apocalypse, who was defeated and left bodiless in "Beyond Good and Evil." Cortez captured Jubilee and turned Beast into a feral monster, but was stopped by Caliban, one of the Hounds. After being defeated, Cortez begged Apocalypse to be forgiven for his failure; though Apocalypse was not angry at Cortez, for he still had a host body to reincarnate into...Cortez's own.
  • Amelia Voght (voiced by Susan Roman) – Like her comics counterpart, Amelia was Charles Xavier's former lover and nurse. The two met and later fell in love after Xavier was crippled by Magneto, though they split because Amelia did not approve of the formation of the X-Men, preferring to live a quiet life with Charles and hide their mutant status. After meeting again in Asteroid M, she was initially hostile to Charles, though she forgave him after the X-Men helped defeat the fanatical Cortez. Amelia refused Charles' offer to join the X-Men, seeking now to find and follow her dreams. She became a nurse once again and joined Moira MacTaggert at the facilities of Muir Island. She also helped Beast, Magneto, Forge, and Mister Sinister fight against the Phalanx.
  • Marco Delgado
  • Carmella Unuscione – Carmella appeared in episode "Sanctuary" as a prominent member of the Acolytes. As in the mainstream Marvel Universe
    , she was a devoted and passionate follower of Magneto and his beliefs.
  • Chrome / Allen Marc Yuric
  • Joanna Cargill – Joanna appeared in episode "Sanctuary." Though she did not have any speaking lines, she was a prominent member of the Acolytes. She also had a cameo in the first part of "One Man's Worth," where she was a member of the Mutant Resistance, but retained her Acolyte outfit.
  • Burner / Byron Calley
    – Burner appeared as a member of the Acolytes and, using his real name in the two-part episode "Sanctuary," was one of the many mutants that took Magneto's offer to live in Asteroid M. Calley was in charge of overseeing the defensive missiles Magneto had gathered to prevent an attack on the asteroid. When Fabian Cortez attempted to fire the missiles to destroy Earth, Calley opposed him. It was also revealed that he was an old friend of Gambit.

Morlocks

When the Morlocks captured Cyclops and Jean Grey, Storm led the X-Men to rescue them. In the end, after a duel between Storm and Callisto, not only did the X-Men get Cyclops and Jean back, but Storm also earned leadership of the Morlocks. They later appear in the episode "Out of the Past," where the Morlocks are captured by Lady Deathstrike and the Reavers and she unleashes an alien. The X-Men saved the Morlocks and defeated the alien.

In the revival series, Callisto has regained control of the Morlocks. She alongside Leech, Ape, Erg, and Tommy made cameos in "Mutant Liberation Begins". In "Remember It", Callisto, Leech, Scaleface, Ape, Erg, Tommy, Sunder, and Masque appear in Genosha where the Wild Sentinel caused the apparent deaths of Callisto, Leech, Ape, Erg, and Tommy.

Shi'ar Imperial Guard

The Shi'ar Imperial Guard appeared in the episodes "Phoenix Saga" and "Dark Phoenix Saga." In the "Phoenix Saga," the Imperial guards track down Lilandra and the M'Kraan crystal, following D'Ken's orders, but after D'Ken fuses with the M'Kraan crystal and Lilandra becomes empress, the Imperial guards help the X-Men and the Starjammers defeat D'Ken. Later, in "Dark Phoenix Saga," the Imperial guards seek to destroy the Phoenix after she destroys a star system. Unlike the comics, the star system was deserted. So they go to Earth to stop Phoenix from destroying further systems. In the revival series, the Shi'ar Imperial Guard first appear in the episode "Lifedeath, Part 2" on a mission to stop Ronan the Accuser during the Kree-Shi'ar War.

  • Gladiator / Kallark (voiced by David Errigo Jr. in the revival series) - A Strontian member of the Imperial Guard who sports the different abilities that his race has.
  • Oracle / Sybil
    - A telepathic Shi'ar and member of the Imperial Guard.
  • Starbolt
    - An unidentified alien and member of the Imperial Guard who possesses flight and energy projection.
  • Smasher / Vril Rokk - An unidentified alien and member of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard with super-strength.
  • Manta
    - An unidentified alien and member of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard who possesses flight, infared vision, and generation of blinding light flashes.
  • Titan
    - An unidentified alien and member of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard who possesses size-shifting abilities.
  • Hussar
    - An unidentified alien and member of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard who can channel bio-electricity into any living thing.

    - An unidentified rock-skinned reptilian humanoid alien and member of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard who possesses geokinesis.
  • Hobgoblin / Shifter
    - A Chameloid shapeshifter and member of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard.
  • Warstar / B'nee and C'cil
    - Two symbiotically-linked mechanoids who are members of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard. While the small one known as B'nee has electrokinesis, the large one known as C'cil has super-strength and durability.
  • Vulcan / Gabriel Summers - He appears in the revival series as the Shi'ar Imperial Guard's latest member.

Assassins Guild

  • Bella Donna Boudreaux
  • Julian Boudreaux

Villains

  • Astral Plane
    for all eternity. In one of the final episodes of the series, Apocalypse is shown to be communicating from the Astral Plane with Fabian Cortez, whom Apocalypse had turned into his servant before the Axis of Time events. He tasked Cortez to find a powerful mutant to serve as his vessel, which would allow him to return to our world. However, Cortez failed due to the interruptions of both Beast and Caliban. This resulted in Apocalypse claiming Cortez, himself, as the vessel and Apocalypse lived once more. In this animated version, Apocalypse was depicted many times as an invincible opponent. None of the X-Men's powers combined could do him much harm. Apocalypse's plans were occasionally hampered by the time-travelers Bishop and Cable.
  • Christopher Britton in both series[1]) – Interested in the creation of more powerful mutants, Sinister had an obsession with Cyclops and Jean Grey, as well as other powerful mutants such as Magneto. Like his comic counterpart, this Sinister was capable of emitting energy blasts from his hands and was vulnerable to Cyclops' optic beams. He was served both by the Nasty Boys and the Savage Land Mutates. Like in the comics, Sinister was originally a British scientist during the Victorian era, though he was not mutated by Apocalypse. This version of Sinister experimented on mutants where he even obtained organs from his minion Jack the Ripper
    and used the knowledge obtained through his activities to mutate himself. An ancestor of Professor X, Dr. Xavier, was one of Sinister's opponents and attempted to save his victims. Despite his origins having no link to Apocalypse, Sinister joined forces with him when Apocalypse plotted to rewrite reality by harnessing the power of the Axis of Time.
  • Shadow King / Amahl Farouk (voiced by Maurice Dean Wint) – Xavier defeated Shadow King and his psychic essence was trapped in the Astral Plane. He escaped briefly and possessed Storm's godson, Mjnari, to possess Storm. The Shadow King was defeated and trapped once again, only to be released after Professor X suffered an accident which left his mind vulnerable to the Shadow King's attempts to take possession of Xavier and leave his mind trapped in the Astral Plane.
  • Sabretooth / Graydon Creed Sr. (voiced by Don Francks) – A longtime enemy of Wolverine and the father of Graydon Creed through Mystique. In this show, Sabretooth was depicted as a henchman for Magneto and was referred to as Graydon Creed Sr. instead of Victor Creed where he often picked on Graydon. In the earlier mainstream comics, however, Sabretooth and Magneto have never come together in any real capacity.
  • Omega Red / Arkady Rossovich (voiced by Len Doncheff) – Omega Red appeared in the episode "Red Dawn." In this episode, he is resuscitated by three corrupt generals who want to recreate the Soviet Union and rule it. Colossus, with the help of the X-Men, fights to save his country and its fragile freedom from these forces of tyranny. Omega Red later reappeared in "A Deal With the Devil." In this episode, he is thawed and sent two miles (3 km) beneath the ocean to salvage a disabled, toxic, nuclear submarine threatening to break up near Hawaii. He also appeared in Wolverine's flashbacks, in which Team X fights against Omega Red and manages to freeze him. The details of their confrontation are unclear, as Wolverine's memories were altered to make him believe Omega Red killed Maverick and Silver Fox.
  • waterpower will be used to run Trask's newly created Master Mold. The X-Men eventually escape Genosha and destroy most of the Sentinels when Storm floods the dam. Later on in the season, they learn that Trask has lost control of Master Mold, who is now stationed in Washington, D.C.
    Master Mold has Senator Kelly and dozens of other important world leaders kidnapped and demands that Trask replace their brains with computers that can be controlled by Master Mold. The X-Men help rescue Trask and Kelly from Master Mold, and at the end of the season's last episode, Professor X, with the help of Magneto, flies the X-Men's jet, full of explosives, into Master Mold's torso. Master Mold and all Sentinels are believed to be destroyed at this point, but they resurface in season four. This time Master Mold wanted to create a new body for himself, but the X-Men eventually destroyed Master Mold once and for all. Even though he was destroyed, Master Mold will be reconstructed at some point in history, becoming the ruler in Bishop's timeline. In the revival series, Master Mold was shown to be lobotomized at the time when Bolivar Trask was rebuilding the Sentinels in the Sahara Desert. A wild Sentinel later attacked Genosha.
  • Nimrod – In the animated continuity, Nimrod came from the "Days of Future Past" timeline, where Bishop is its contemporary. Nimrod follows Bishop into the past to stop him from preventing the assassination of Senator Kelly which causes the future timeline. With the help of Storm's powers, Bishop was able to defeat Nimrod on numerous occasions.
  • Gavin Hammon
    in the revival series) – Trask is the creator of the Sentinels, and was much longer-lived than his comic counterpart, returning for several episodes (one of which ironically featured him on the run from his creations, along with Gyrich). Trask was introduced here in the second episode of the series. In the revival series, Trask was seen rebuilding the Sentinels somewhere in the Sahara Desert with help from a lobotomized Master Mold.
  • Henry Peter Gyrich (voiced by Barry Flatman in the original series, Todd Haberkorn in the revival series) – Gyrich appeared in the episode "Night of the Sentinels." He later appeared in the season one finale "The Final Decision," the episode "Courage" (season 4), and the series finale "Graduation Day." Gyrich's personality in the series was an extreme take on that of his appearances in the Avengers and X-Men comic books as he supported mutant oppression, and possibly even extinction, whereas in the comics he was merely distrustful of superhumans in general. In the series finale, he quickly revealed that Professor X was a mutant by calling on a force wave with a remote, which revealed his power of telepathy at a worldwide conference. This weakened Xavier and nearly killed him by the end of the episode, though in the end he was taken away by Lilandra to be cured. This attack also nearly wounded many other people at the conference. Gyrich was taken away by two security guards because of his insanity but warned everyone not to trust anyone because they might well be mutants. In the revival series, Gyrich is shown to be incarcerated at the time when Jean Grey had to probe his mind for the location of Bolivar Trask.
  • Graydon Creed (voiced by John Stocker) – Like in the comics, Graydon Creed's deep resentment toward mutants comes from his parents, Sabretooth and Mystique. Graydon wound up in the care of his father, who bullied and beat him constantly. Many years later, Graydon founded the F.O.H. (Friends of Humanity), an anti-mutant hate group that did everything in its power to vilify mutants. After the Beast's pardon by the President, Graydon's resentment grew even more and the F.O.H. began targeting the X-Men. Graydon began looking for new ways to exterminate mutant-kind. He hired a brilliant scientist (who turned out to be Apocalypse) to create a virus that would wipe out every mutant on Earth but would be relatively harmless to ordinary humans. His followers infect several mutants and spread rumors that mutants carry the disease. However, Bishop and the X-Men destroy the virus. When Beast began dating his former patient Carly, a human, Graydon had her kidnapped, but the X-Men rescued her. Before they leave, the X-Men set up a holo-projector outside displaying Xavier's profile on the mutant Sabretooth, real name: Graydon Creed Sr. Realizing that their leader was the son of a mutant, the F.O.H. leaves him behind for the authorities. Later, Graydon returns to the F.O.H. to resume his old role as their leader. The council rules that first, he has to prove himself. They tell Graydon to kill Sabretooth, Mystique, Rogue (his foster sister), and the demonic Nightcrawler, his brother. Graydon kidnaps his mother Mystique and forces her to send a letter to Nightcrawler saying she is in danger. Fearing for his mother's life, Nightcrawler seeks the help of the X-Men Rogue and Wolverine. They locate the F.O.H.'s dam-base and walk straight into a trap. Graydon attempts to gas all of the mutants to death. They manage to break free and defeat him as his helicopter is washed away by the dam breaking. Waking up on a different helicopter bound, three of the council members inform him that he has failed for the last time and as a result has been expelled from the order indefinitely. They parachute him to the house where Sabretooth is waiting as he prepares to deal with him.
  • Trevor Fitzroy – Fitzroy was a guest-star in the two-part episode "One Man's Worth." Fitzroy, known as "the mutant traitor," under the orders of Master Mold, travels back in time to 1959 to murder Charles Xavier. In the cartoon, he does not kill those whose energy he absorbs.
  • D'Ken – D'Ken was seen in the five-part "Phoenix Saga," where his history was very much like it was in the comics. He was also responsible for the death of Cyclops' parents, and him becoming an orphan on Earth. D'Ken gained control over the M'Kraan crystal, which gave him powers. D'Ken had fused with the M'Kraan crystal, so after the Phoenix fixed the crack that D'ken made on the crystal to gain its power, D'Ken was trapped inside it. The Phoenix later hid the crystal in the heart of the Sun

Touched that despite her cold treatment her son still cares for her, Mystique sacrifices herself to save Nightcrawler when Creed attempts to shoot him.
