X-Men: Evolution: Difference between revisions

** More of a cool van, but the X-Van is a battle ready van that might as well be a ''tank''.

* [[Cool Teacher]]: The Beast. Without a doubt.

** [[Politically-Motivated Teacher]]: Jean and Scott, when they become instructors, try to bring physics, geometry and other more complex academic subjects into the new recruits' curriculum. They're not exactly thrilled about it -- to the point when they even try to get ''Wolverine'' back as a teacher.

* [[Crash Into Hello]]: How Avalanche and Shadowcat first meet.

* [[Jerkass]]: Quicksilver. Probably the only consistent [[Jerkass]] in the series, which makes [[Fan Dumb]]'s attempt to redeem him in fanfiction so hilarious. Boom Boom was one for a while. And Avalanche in half of his appearances (mostly early) which are usually glossed over by his fangirls; thought he returned to this in the third season.

** Let's elaborate on Quicksilver, shall we? {{spoiler|Putting Evan in jail, betraying his team for his [[Magnificent Bastard]] father, letting said father [[Mind Rape]] his twin sister, manipulating said twin sister to cause disasters so he can make a buck...}} Holy CRAP, this boy DEFINES Jerkass!

* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Wolverine, post-[[Character Development]]!Avalanche.

* [[The Juggernaut]]: [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Guess who filled that role...]]

* [[Older Than They Look]]: Magneto, in this version. His backstory as a Holocaust survivor is kept, but he looks just as young as he did in his earliest appearances in the comics. It's eventually explained that he's using a machine to extend his natural lifespan.

* [[Opposites Attract]]: Avalanche and Shadowcat.

* [[Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping]]: The accents can be a bit temperamental.

* [[Out of the Inferno]]: When Rogue is brainwashed by Apocalypse to steal the powers of dozens of mutants, she targets Magneto's crew. After taking out most of them, Pyro blasts her. She walks out of the fire with some [[Clothing Damage]] and Colossus' metal skin power active.

* [[Stock Subtitle]]: "Evolution".

* [[Stuffed Into a Locker]]: Happens to Shadowcat in her debut, mostly as an excuse for her to discover her ability to phase past solid objects. So naturally, this causes her to bump into Avalanche to kick off the plot.

{{quote|'''Duncan''' (after Scott interferes in a group Toad-beating): I think me and my buds are gonna squash this [[Gosh Dang It to Heck|slimeball]]. So ''you'' and your stupid ''[[Conversational Troping|sunglasses at night]]'' can bail.}}

* [[Swiss Cheese Security]]: Despite seeing the mansion's impressive security system, Pietro, Lance, and Toad have all walked right up to the mansion with no problem. Lance, at least, had to knock out a few turrets on the way. Justified with Pietro, who is said by Mystique and Charles to be too fast for most of the mansions security systems to detect. Played straight with Toad, who on three separate occasions has entered the mansion with absolutely no resistance, only one of which could be said to be intentional. Hell, he just jumped right through Kurt's window the third time. However, the security system is shown to be manually activated, so its possible that most of the time its just turned off. When its not, it usually at least slows down the invader and provides enough attention for the X-Men to suit up and deal with it themselves.

** There's also Alex, going out surfing in a storm because there are better waves. This is [[Truth in Television]] for plenty of surfers, though.

*** Not to mention that when Alex goes overboard in said storm, he tells Scott to go out and get him himself, rather than call the Coast Guards, because calling the Coast Guards would make him look stupid.

** To a lesser degree Cyclops in "Blind Alley", when he took on Mystique ''with his eyes closed'', [[Daredevil]] style.

** Given that the series focuses on them learning to use their powers, several characters gain notable levels, particularly if they suffer "can't control it" spikes. Jean Gray, Rogue, and Magma are some of the more noticable ones.
