Hero teams X-Men Cyclops / Scott Summers (voiced by Norm Spencer in the original series, Ray Chase in X-Men '97) – The field commander of the X-Men, who is shown to be in his late twenties. He is generally aloof and has occasionally expressed doubts about his leadership. He is in a relationship with Jean Grey throughout the series before eventually marrying her. His eyes can emit powerful beams of light energy, which he controls by either closing his eyes or hiding them behind ruby-quartz crystals, usually in the form of sunglasses. In X-Men '97, Cyclops is still in a relationship with Jean and starts to be friendly towards Madelyne Pryor due to Mister Sinister switching the two. Wolverine / Logan (voiced by Cal Dodd) – He remembers little of his past, and while he never kills opponents, it is implied that he would if the other X-Men did not hold him back. He is also in love with Jean, which, along with Cyclops's decision to leave Morph and Beast behind following a Sentinel attack, causes him to resent Cyclops. He possesses a regenerative healing power and heightened senses, along with claws and an adamantium endoskeleton, which are not part of his mutant abilities. Rogue / Anna-Marie Darkholme (voiced by Lenore Zann) – She is shown to be in her mid-twenties and speaks with a Southern accent. She has the power to draw out a human's energy from a touch, allowing her to absorb their psyche, skills, and powers for a duration. This can cause unconsciousness and, in some cases, comas. She also has the powers of super strength, invulnerability, and flight, which she gained from Ms. Marvel after draining most of her energy, causing her to fall into a coma and gain her powers permanently. Rogue inadvertently put her boyfriend Cody Robbins in a coma when her powers manifested during their first kiss. Despite reciprocating Gambit's feelings for her, she pushes him away out of fear of harming him. Rogue is the adoptive daughter of Mystique, having been taken in when she ran away from home after her father rejected her for being a mutant. Storm / Ororo Munroe (voiced by Iona Morris in 1992–1993 of the original series, Alison Sealy-Smith in 1993–1997 of the original series, X-Men '97, and What If…?) – A member of the X-Men who was orphaned at an early age and spent her childhood living on the streets, often stealing to survive. Early on in the series, she defeats Callisto to become the leader of the Morlocks, but later gives the position back to her. She is capable of controlling weather and can fly through bursts of wind. Like her comic counterpart, Storm is claustrophobic. In X-Men '97, Storm loses her powers after X-Cutioner attacks her with a special weapon. Storm regains her abilities when fighting Adversary. Beast / Henry "Hank" McCoy (voiced by George Buza) – A member of the X-Men who is kindhearted and highly intelligent; however, as shown in "Beauty and the Beast", he can be aggressive to protect those he loves, as he falls in love with a blind patient he is treating and goes to rescue her after the Friends of Humanity kidnap her. He has the powers of agility and super strength; following an experiment to remove his powers, McCoy mutated further into a blue ape-like form. Gambit / Remy LeBeau (voiced by Chris Potter in 1992–1996 of the original series, Tony Daniels in 1997 of the original series, A.J. LoCascio in X-Men '97) – He is originally from New Orleans and speaks with a thick Cajun accent and is shown to be in his late twenties. In the past, he was affiliated with the civil war between thieves and assassins. Over time, he and Rogue's relationship develops into a more mature, loving one. While he is shown to have a cocky personality, he is also shown to have a strong sense of honor and loyalty to those he considers family, especially the X-Men. He has the power to charge objects with kinetic energy which become explosive when thrown. His strength and agility possibly come from this, as he can charge himself with energy. In X-Men '97, Gambit is still in a relationship with Rogue. He is killed in the episode "Remember It" when he sacrifices himself to save Genosha from Master Mold's attack. Jean Grey (voiced by Catherine Disher in the original series, Jennifer Hale in X-Men '97) – The heart and soul of the X-Men, who usually is at Professor X's side to aid him. Unlike most adaptations, she is depicted as being his first student. Her costume is largely the same as the one she wore in Uncanny X-Men #281 when she joined Storm's Gold Team, although her hair is tied back rather than worn loose. Throughout the series, she and Scott's relationship is explored in more depth and she takes on a central role in the "Phoenix Saga", where she is possessed by the Phoenix Force. She has the power of telekinesis and minor telepathic skills similar to Professor X. In X-Men '97, Jean is briefly swapped with Madelyne Pryor by Mister Sinister. Jubilee / Jubilation Lee (voiced by Alyson Court in the original series, Holly Chou in X-Men '97) – The youngest of the X-Men, who was previously an orphan sent to many foster homes. In the first episode, she is captured by the Mutant Control Agency as bait to draw out the X-Men but is rescued. She is carefree and wants to be seen as an adult by others, but the team appreciates her involvement. She has the power to create pyrokinetic sparks from her hands, which she can use to attack from a distance or disable machinery. In X-Men '97, Jubilee is briefly trapped in Mojo's Motendo and encounters Abscissa, a construct based on her. In the second season, she joins X-Force, but later rejoins X-Men. Professor X / Charles Xavier (voiced by Cedric Smith in the original series, Ross Marquand in X-Men '97) – The founder of the X-Men. Unlike in the comics, Xavier lost the use of his legs battling Magneto and uses a hovering chair instead of a wheelchair. His dark side briefly manifests during the "Phoenix Saga". He possesses powerful telepathic abilities, allowing him to see people's minds or control their thoughts or actions. In the series finale "Graduation Day", Xavier is mortally wounded by Henry Peter Gyrich and taken away by the Shi'ar to recover. In X-Men '97, Professor X has recovered and is set to marry Lilandra. After experiencing a vision about the Wild Sentinel attacking Genosha, Professor X declines the wedding plans and asks to be taken back to Earth immediately. Morph (voiced by Ron Rubin in the original series, J.P. Karliak in X-Men '97) – A member of the X-Men with shapeshifting abilities and a close friend of Wolverine who was seemingly killed by the Sentinels. Morph reappears as a recurring villain in the second season, which reveals that they were rescued and brainwashed by Mister Sinister until Professor X frees them from the brainwashing's effects. In X-Men '97, Morph returns to the X-Men and is referred to as non-binary. Bishop / Lucas Bishop (voiced by Philip Akin in the original series, Isaac Robinson-Smith in X-Men '97) – Bishop originates from a possible future and was originally a "tracker", a mutant collaborating with the Sentinels hunting down members of the Resistance until he was deemed unnecessary and marked for extermination, which prompted him to join the Resistance. He travels back in time to stop the assassination of Senator Kelly and prevent the "Days of Future Past" timeline from occurring. While he succeeds in saving Kelly, in his timeline there is no recollection of the X-Men as they have all died. Later, he returns to stop the spread of Apocalypse's techno-organic virus; however, he also faces resistance from Cable, who knows the virus is necessary as it will also lead to the salvation of mutant-kind. In X-Men '97, Bishop joins the X-Men. Magneto / Erik Lehnsherr (voiced by David Hemblen in the original series, Matthew Waterson in X-Men '97, Victor Young in "Family Ties" and "Beyond Good and Evil") – Magneto is introduced as an antagonist to the X-Men. In the first season's finale, he helps the X-Men defeat the Master Mold and the Sentinels. He appears in nearly every episode in the second season, in which he and Professor Xavier are powerless and travel throughout the Savage Land. At the end of that season, the X-Men save them from Mr. Sinister, and they regain their powers. In the fourth season, he allies with Apocalypse but turns on him after discovering his true agenda and aids the X-Men in defeating him. Later, he constructs Asteroid M as a haven for mutants, but his dream is ruined by Fabian Cortez. Broken, Magneto secludes himself in the Arctic and does not care about the possible destruction of life on Earth until he learns that the Phalanx has kidnapped his son, Quicksilver. He teams up with them to defeat the Phalanx and saves everyone he has captured. By the end of the series, Magneto has gathered up an entire army of rebellious mutants only to receive news from Wolverine, Cyclops, and Jean Grey that Professor X is dying. In X-Men '97, Magneto becomes the leader of the X-Men in Professor X's absence and is pardoned for his crimes at the United Nations.
