Line 38:
=== '''Scott 'Slim' Summers/Cyclops''' ===
 
The leader of the X-Men and Xavier's top student. Is skilled at [[The Strategist|strategy]] and [[The Captain|managing people]], but [[Not Good Withwith People|fails at most attempts at personal interaction]]. The years of pressure in being an example for other mutants and a combat field leader have wound him up into a tight-assed, stuffed shirt: this brings him into conflict with just about any other mutant who doesn't have standards as high as Cyclops, which is nearly all of them. His powers are energy beams that shoot out of his eyes, uncontrollably unless filtered with ruby quartz, which are strong enough to level mountains; it's implied that his inability to control his powers has subconsciously driven him to have control and order in every other facet of his life.
 
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Originally type I-II, but recently briefly drifted to type IV when assembling X-Force, although he later reconsidered. Seems to have settled at type III [[Crazy Prepared]] [[Badass]] under Warren Ellis.
Line 107:
* [[Blood Knight]] in Apocalypse-engineered mode.
* [[Combo-Platter Powers]]: He's got enhanced strength and endurance, healing blood, flight...
* [[Crimefighting Withwith Cash]]
* [[Doomed Upgrade]]: Superpowered version. Various writers continue trying to upgrade him beyond "lame old flight", but nobody can agree on what that upgrade should be, so his powers have gone through at least three major revamps.
* [[Even the Guys Want Him]]: Yes, he's THAT hot.
Line 156:
* [[Action Girl]]: What she became with time.
* [[Action Mom]] / [[Team Mom]]: Oddly enough Jean fits this despite never having actually carried a child. All her offspring are from alternate universes or timelines.
* [[Ascend to Aa Higher Plane of Existence]]: Currently in the White Hot Room, gathering fragments of the Phoenix Force.
* [[Betty and Veronica]]: Had to choose between Angel and Cyclops, and later Cyclops and Wolverine.
** She's also the Betty for Cyclops while Emma Frost is the Veronica.
Line 162:
* [[The Chick]]: She started out as one, taking ''several'' levels in badass as her powers grew.
* [[Continuity Snarl]]: The Phoenix Force with all the recent [[Retcon|RetCons]].
* [[Death-Activated Superpower]]: Something the Phoneix Force seems to do. However, how this works is very much [[Depending Onon the Writer]].
* [[Fairytale Wedding Dress]]
* [[Fiery Redhead]]
Line 176:
* [[Mini-Dress of Power]]: Her second outfit.
* [[The Phoenix]]: Well...
* [[Pillars of Moral Character]]: Other than the [[Depending Onon the Writer]] bouts of madness with the Phoenix Force, she can be a pretty decent person for the most part. She is usually presented as one of the more compassionate members of the X-Men as seen when she helped raise Cable to be more of a good man than [[Bad Future|he would have been]], and comforting Jubilee after Illyana dies.
* [[Playing Withwith Fire]]: Her Phoenix powers give her cosmic pyrokinesis, essentially magic fire.
* [[Power Strain Blackout]]: Practically the poster child for this trope.
* [[Pretty in Mink]]: Bought a white fur coat (and provides the page picture).
Line 188:
* [[Redheaded Hero|Red Headed Heroine]]
* [[Restraining Bolt]]: As a young girl, Xavier placed mental blocks in Jean's mind to keep her telepathy from growing out of control. Xavier would later remove these so her telepathy could grow naturally. In certain continuities, though, these mental blocks caused Jean to develop a dark alter ego.
* [[Superpower Lottery]]: [[Depending Onon the Writer]]
* [[Thigh-High Boots]]: Phoenix costumes go right into the spandex this way.
* [[True-Blue Femininity]]: Some of her outfits, especially the dress she wears in her very first appearance.
