{{work}}
Characters that have appeared in [[X-Force]] or X-Statix.
-----
Line 11:
'''Nathan Summers / Cable'''
See [[Cable]],
''' Samuel Guthrie / Cannonball'''
Line 19:
'''Neena Thurman / Domino'''
* [[Bizarre and Improbable Ballistics]]: Domino has the power to alter probability, and prefers to use that ability in conjunction with firearms. She can thus perform outstandingly improbable trick-shots, including multiple-ricochet bulls-eyes against moving targets.
* [[Born Lucky]]
* [[Charles Atlas Superpower]]: Domino has probability altering powers, but she mainly relies on her marksmanship and hand-to-hand abilities.
Line 54:
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]] / [[Stuffed Into the Fridge]]: At the hands of Sabertooth who slew her ''very'' messily.}}
* [[Prehensile Tail]]
* [[Self-Made Orphan]]: Both Feral and her sister Thornn had been abused by their stepfather until she killed their parents as well as her siblings (not Thornn though).
* [[Super Senses]] / [[The Nose Knows]]
* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: Feral in the early issues was a loose cannon. She pratically almost killed Cannonball during training, almost killed her enemies only being held back by her teammates, and her teammates barely trusted her. She murdered her mother, stepfather, possibly pushed her sister to her death, and watched her little brother fall to his death(when she could have helped him)....then this led to her [[Face Heel Turn]].
Line 125:
* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]
'''Wade Wilson / Deadpool'''
See [[Deadpool]].
Line 132:
* [[Bloody Murder]]: His powers are weaponizing other people's blood by making them bleed then igniting the oxygen in the exposed blood.
* [[Facial Markings]]
* [[Fad Super]]
* [[Half-Human Hybrid]]: He is a half-human, half-Shi'ar
* [[Long Lost Sibling]]: Heavily implied to have been the third Summers brother... [[Word of God]], however, says that he's just the ''fourth'', and a half-brother at that.
* [[Nineties Anti-Hero]]: He had long hair, a backwards baseball cap, and his power was to make his blood explode so he had to cut himself in battle. Oh, and technically, his full name is "[[Xtreme Kool Letterz|Adam X the X-Treme]]".
** Recently when he turned up in Utopia crossover, his nineties look was toned down by getting rid of his spiky costume and many blades. However, his backwards baseball cap and long hair still remained and he swears more than the other rioters.
* [[Scary Impractical Armor]]
* [[Xtreme Kool Letterz]]
== Villains ==
'''Stryfe'''
* [[The Big Bad]]
* [[Cain and Abel]]
* [[Cloning Blues]]
* [[Complete Monster]]
* [[Evil Twin]] To Cable
* [[Scary Impractical Armor]]: Stryfe wore a suit of armour that looked like it was made out of blades, giving many readers the impression that he'd decapitate himself if he ever shrugged his shoulders.
* [[Spikes of Villainy]]: He wears a spiky armoured costume
* [[Split At Birth]]: Stryfe was created as a clone of the infant Cable who was severely infected with techno-organic virus and would make him as a perfect copy in case the original dies. Unfortunately, he was then kidnapped and raised by the evil Apocalypse.
* [[Tangled Family Tree]]
'''Tamara Kurtz / Dragoness'''
* [[Dragon Lady]]
* [[Not Quite Flight]]: She possesses a jet pack and and a set of bionic wings
* [[Shock and Awe]] (Bio-electric blasts)
Line 171:
* [[Action Bomb]] / [[Flying Brick]]: He is almost an [[Expy]] of Cannonball with explosive powers upon impact
* [[Off with His Head]]: In X-Cutioner's Song crossover, Kamikaze charged behind Archangel (who was busy fighting Forearm) as a sneak attack but he was {{spoiler|accidentally decapitated when Archangel swung his sharp metallic wings}}.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: As mentioned above, his reckless overconfidence had {{spoiler|cost his life}}.
{{quote|'''Boom-Boom''' (to Archangel): Well, I guess with a name like Kamikaze, you just know he's gonna buy it. }}
'''Reaper'''
* [[Artificial Limbs]]
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Poor Reaper [[Running Gag|always]] loses his limbs at every fight and getting artificial limb replacements.
* [[For the Evulz]]: Reaper enjoys his terrorist work, looking as it's more fun than as a job.
* [[The Paralyzer]]: Reaper can paralyze his foes by touching them from contact through his skin or scythe before finishing them off but with his artificial limbs, it has less effect.
* [[Sinister Scythe]]
Line 186:
* [[Fiery Redhead]]
* [[Light Is Not Good]]: Other than projecting heat, Strobe also has light blasts. She {{spoiler|temporarily blinded Rogue this way}} in X-Cutioner's Song crossover.
* [[Playing with Fire]]
Line 202:
'''Kristina Anderson / Thumbelina'''
* [[Big Brother Instinct|Big Sister Instinct]]: When she heard that her brother (Slab from Nasty Boys) was taken into custody by X-Factor, she went on a mission with her team to bust him out of prison and scolded her [[Dumb Muscle|brother]] for getting himself captured.
* [[Incredible Shrinking Man|Incredible Shrinking Woman]]
* [[Wrench Wench]]: Subverted, she is a fat lady who uses her shrinking powers to fix mechanical objects and is rarely sent out to the field.
'''Richard Gill / Wildside'''
* [[Axe Crazy]]: Like this is a surprise.

* [[For the Evulz]]
'''Zero'''
* [[My Hero Zero]]
* [[Teleporters and Transporters]]
* [[The Voiceless]]
Line 222:
== Team Members ==
'''Tike Alicar / Anarchist'''
* [[Bloody Murder]]: Sort of, in that his powers stem from his acidic ''sweat'', which he can use to project powerful acidic force beams.
Line 233:
* [[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.
'''Mickey Tork / Bloke'''
* [[Bury Your Gays]]: A parody version, at least.
Line 276:
* [[New Meat]]: After joining the team he has his own mini arc about getting used to it
* [[Latin Lover]]: With a name that means "the handsome one"...

'''Henrietta Hunter'''
Line 286:
* [[Parody Sue]]
* [[The Prima Donna]]
* [[Stringy
'''Arnie Lundberg / the Mysterious Fan Boy'''
* [[The Cape (trope)]]: 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.
Line 322:
* [[White Gang-Bangers]]: 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'''
* [[Amazing Technicolor Population]]: Red skinned
Line 362:
* [[Secret Diary]]: A whole issue after her death has Venus reading her diary and some extra details being given about her backstory.

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]
'''Myles Alfred / Vivisector'''
* [[Badass Bookworm]]
Line 482:
* {{spoiler|[[Shoot the Dog]]: one of Josh's old schoolmates, [[Touch of Death|Wither]], had become an [[Omnicidal Maniac]] in service to [[Big Bad|Selene]] to the point that he had to use his [[Touch of Death]] to put him down.}}
* [[The Medic]] / [[Healing Hands]]: His position in the team and his powers
* [[The Slacker]]

* [[Knight Templar]]
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: In the beginning of Messiah Complex crossover, the Purifiers {{spoiler|destroyed a town in Alaska and killed the newborn babies as well as the children all because a newest mutant child was born there}}.
'''Reverand Craig'''
* [[Abusive Parents|Abusive Father]]: Wolfsbane's father helped a group of religious fanatics brainwash his daughter to be a programmed killer sent after her teammate Angel. However, the plan did not turn up well on him.
* {{spoiler|[[Death by Irony]]}}: Reverand Craig {{spoiler|falls victim to the psychological conditioning The Purifiers put Wolfsbane through, when they were only able to capture her because she was trying to "save" him}}.
* [[Complete Monster]] A vile, hateful bastard. Messy as his death is, it's still too good for him.
* [[Eviler Than Thou]]
* [[Karmic Death]] ''Very''.
* [[Offing the Offspring]]: Earlier on, he tried to kill his daughter Rahne (by chasing her down with a mob and burning her at the stake!) but fails when Moira rescued and adopted her.
* [[Scotireland]]
* [[Sinister Minister]]
Line 528:
* [[Cool Mask]]: She wears her mask to cover her disfigured face
* [[He Who Fights Monsters|She Who Fights Monsters]]
* [[Scars Are Forever]]: She allegedly started the group because of her hatred of mutants. This hatred stemmed from the fact that her daughter was born a mutant and her powers ended up killing herself and disfiguring Leper Queen's face.
Line 551:
'''Selene'''
Former and most prominent Black Queen of the Hellfire club, Selene has been around for quite some time and is actually the oldest mutant alive. She doubles as a superior sorceress, is incredibly powerful and very hard to kill. She singlehandedly exterminated the Externals and survived total molecular disintegration. Regal, vain and manipulative, she has recently resurfaced and maybe we'll see the full extent of her powers which has never been completely revealed.
* [[A God Am I|A Goddess Am I]]: Her recent surfacing gives this as her motivation.
* [[The Baroness]]
* [[Combo-Platter Powers]]: She can animate objects plus suck people's life force to feed her youth and immortality (plus some minor Psychic Powers and Functional Magic, and various inconsistently enhanced physical abilities). Until she got upgraded; as of Chasing Hellfire, it's "turn into living shadow, plus absorb people entirely to feed her youth and immortality, as well as take on the form of victims."
* [[Complete Monster]]
* [[Evil Is Sexy]] (A close second to Mystique's massive hotness)
* [[Immortality Immorality]]
* [[Of Corsets Sexy]]
* [[Lesbian Vampire]]: Perhaps it is just Claremont but trying to turn attractive teenage psychics into her deciples seems to be a particular hobby of hers.
* [[Manipulative Bastard|Manipulative Bitch]]: Even though she doesn't need to, she really enjoys toying with people's minds to get what she wants. A lot.
* [[Vain Sorceress]]
* [[The Vamp]]
'''Caliban'''
Line 572:
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Blink gained quite a fan following after a fairly short-lived existence in their mainstream storylines. She (or rather, her [[Alternate Continuity]] counterpart) got an upgraded role in the [[Age of Apocalypse]] storyline. She was so popular that she survived the destruction of that universe and became a main character in the Exiles spinoff (though it took five years).
* {{spoiler|[[Evil Twin]]: Became this to her [[Age of Apocalypse]] incarnation following her [[Face Heel Turn]]. Ironically, not only is she the mainstream (albeit less used) version of her character, but she has never even encountered her other universe self as of yet.}}
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: {{spoiler|Recently, Blink was seen in the company of Selene. Her apparent death seems to have been retconned. Instead of accidentally killing herself she transported herself to a different location and her mutant power allowed her to arrive intact.}}
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Before [[Generation X]] was founded, she sacrificed herself to destroy Harvest and was presumed dead until years later...
* [[Teleporters and Transporters]]
