X-Men (AU)

Charles Francis Xavier, also known as Professor X, is a mutant with one of the most powerful telepathic minds in the world. He is the founder and leader of the X-Men and the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters. His primary motivation is to achieve peaceful coexistence between mutants and humans, an ideal he relentlessly pursues despite numerous obstacles.

As a young man, Charles was a prodigy, earning a doctorate in Genetics and working with the CIA, where he met Raven (Mystique), his adoptive sister, and Erik Lehnsherr (Magneto), who would become his best friend and main adversary. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, Charles was paralyzed from the waist down, forcing him to use a wheelchair. Despite this, he dedicated his life to gathering and training young mutants, teaching them to control their powers and live in a world that often fears them.

Over the years, Professor X has demonstrated a wide range of telepathic abilities, including mind sensing, mind control, illusion projection, memory manipulation, and the creation of psychic barriers. He uses his invention, Cerebro, to amplify his powers and locate mutants around the world.

His life has been marked by tragedy and sacrifice, including his death at the hands of Jean Grey (Phoenix) in 2006, though his consciousness was successfully transferred to his twin brother's body. Later, his role was crucial in altering the timeline in X-Men: Days of Future Past, where his future self guided his younger self to restore hope for mutant-human coexistence.

Cyclops (Scott Summers) is a key mutant in the X-Men, with the ability to fire uncontrollable optic energy beams from his eyes, capable of destroying steel and concrete and sending targets flying. Born in the early 1960s, he uses goggles or a ruby ​​quartz visor to contain and regulate his energy. As one of the first modern members of the X-Men, he was chosen by Professor X as a field leader, distinguished by his strong leadership, determination, and skills in combat, piloting, and teaching.

In his youth, Scott was rebellious and troubled until his brother Alex took him to Xavier's School, where he formed deep bonds with Xavier (as a father figure), Jean Grey (his love interest), and Storm. In X-Men Origins: Wolverine (1979), he escapes from Stryker's mutant prison on Three Mile Island, using his energy blasts to lead other prisoners and join the X-Men. He rescues Wolverine and Rogue from Sabretooth and participates in battles against Magneto, such as on Liberty Island, where he destroys Magneto's mutant machine.

His relationship with Jean is central: he fiercely protects her, but his resurrection as Phoenix leads to tragedy. Under Stryker's mind control in X2, he attacks Jean, who repels him. In X-Men: The Last Stand, the Phoenix accidentally kills him during a kiss at Alkali Lake. He dies in 2006, leaving a legacy of leadership; in the revised timeline, his fate is uncertain.

Storm (Ororo Munroe) is a powerful mutant and a core member of the X-Men, known for her ability to control the weather in all its forms. She can generate lightning, create storms, hurricanes, blizzards, tornadoes, and manipulate temperature, precipitation, humidity, and electricity. She also has the ability to fly and adapt her body to extreme atmospheric conditions.

Storm is a natural leader, brave, capable, and always looking out for her friends. She possesses great willpower and never loses hope, even in difficult times. Although she has sometimes expressed fear and anger toward humans, she has learned to suppress those emotions throughout her adult life. She became a teacher at Xavier's School and, after Professor X's death in the original timeline, assumed the role of headmistress.

His history with the X-Men includes rescuing Wolverine and Rogue, clashing with the Brotherhood of Mutants, and defending his teammates against various threats. In the dystopian future of X-Men: Days of Future Past, he fought alongside the last surviving X-Men against the Sentinels, heroically sacrificing himself.

Mystique, whose real name is Raven Darkhölme, is a mutant with the ability to shapeshift into anyone, including their voice, height, and physical features. Born in 1934, her childhood was tragic: her parents tried to kill her because of her blue appearance and mutation, which led her to run away and live as a thief until she met Charles Xavier in 1944, who took her in as his adoptive sister at the X-Mansion.

In X-Men: First Class (1962), she joins the CIA and Xavier to fight Sebastian Shaw, becoming part of the original X-Men team. She develops a romance with Hank McCoy (Beast), but chooses to join Magneto after the Cuban Missile Crisis, adopting the name Mystique and founding the Brotherhood of Mutants, believing in mutant superiority and rejecting human assimilation.

In the original timeline, she is a cold and manipulative antagonist, infiltrating the X-Men (sabotaging Cerebro, kidnapping Rogue) and temporarily allying herself against Stryker in X2. In X-Men: The Last Stand, she loses her powers protecting Magneto from a mutant "cure," leading her to betray him by revealing his base. In Days of Future Past (1973), she seeks revenge on mutants experimented on by Trask, but chooses to spare him, altering the future and saving humanity from the Sentinels.

Her powers include superhuman agility, accelerated healing, and longevity, but she cannot change her scent (which Wolverine detects) or copy memories or non-superficial powers. She is an expert in combat, infiltration, and piloting, values ​​acceptance, and hates betrayal, evolving from a villain to a complex anti-heroine.

Magneto, whose birth name is Erik Magnus Lehnsherr, is an extremely powerful mutant with the ability to manipulate magnetic fields and control metallic objects. His tragic history as a Holocaust survivor in Nazi Germany shaped his deep conviction that mutants are the next stage of evolution and that humanity will seek to oppress them, often resorting to violence to achieve this.

Although he was one of the founding members of the X-Men alongside his lifelong friend, Charles Xavier, their philosophies diverged drastically. While Xavier advocated for peaceful coexistence, Magneto firmly believed in mutant supremacy and fighting human oppression by any means necessary. This difference led him to form the Brotherhood of Mutants, a rival organization to the X-Men.

Throughout his life, Magneto has been both a formidable antagonist and a reluctant ally of the X-Men when the situation demanded it. His genius-level intelligence, tactical mastery, and command of magnetokinesis make him one of the most powerful mutant forces on the planet. He has experienced the loss of his powers on occasion, but has always managed to regain them.

Beast, whose real name is Henry “Hank” McCoy, is a mutant with a prodigious intellect and a physical mutation that grants him strength, agility, and senses far superior to humans. A Harvard graduate as a teenager, he worked for the CIA, where he created the Cerebro prototype and supported the formation of the first X-Team during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. In an attempt to “cure” himself, a poorly administered serum intensified his mutation, transforming him into the iconic blue, beastly creature.

Throughout his life, he became one of the pillars of Charles Xavier's legacy: Blackbird pilot, brilliant scientist, professor, and tireless advocate for mutant rights. In the 1970s, he developed a temporary serum that suppressed his mutation, allowing him to maintain his human form. Decades later, he worked for the government as Secretary of Mutant Affairs, attempting to prevent conflicts between humans and mutants, especially during the "mutant cure" crisis.

Beast is known for his unique combination of diplomacy, intellect, and ferocity in combat. Although he always sought to feel "normal," he eventually accepted his mutant identity and fought for a world where humans and mutants could coexist. He died in the timeline where the Sentinels exterminated most of the mutants.

Banshee, whose real name is Sean Cassidy, was a young American mutant recruited by Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr to be part of the first X-Men team in the 1960s. His power consisted of generating extremely powerful sonic waves with his voice, capable of breaking objects, disorienting enemies, using sonar underwater, and even flying by propelling himself with his own screams thanks to a suit designed by Beast.

Initially insecure and somewhat clumsy, he earned his place on the team through rigorous training and mastery of his ability. During the formation of the X-Men, Banshee helped Xavier keep the group together after Darwin's death, and he participated in the mission against the Hellfire Club, where his sonar helped locate Shaw's submarine and his scream saved Havok from Angel.

He was present at the final battle in Cuba, where he witnessed Magneto's separation from the group and Xavier's paralysis. Following those events, his fate remained unknown. Years later, it was revealed that Banshee died between 1962 and 1973, a victim of Bolivar Trask's experiments, along with other fallen mutants.

Despite his short time in the saga, Banshee stood out as a loyal, brave mutant with one of the most unique powers of the original team.

Havok (Alex Summers) is one of the original X-Men and the older brother of Cyclops. Born in the 1940s, he possesses the mutant ability to absorb energy and release powerful plasma blasts capable of piercing stone and causing explosions. Due to the difficulty of controlling his power, he spent time in isolation until Xavier and Magneto recruited him for Division X.

During his training, he had trouble focusing his blasts, so Beast designed a containment device that allowed him to channel his energy from his chest. Havok participated in the battle against the Hellfire Club and was a key member during the Cuban Missile Crisis, where he proved his worth and grew as a fighter.

After the team disbanded, he was sent to the Vietnam War, where he served with other mutants until Mystique intervened to prevent Trask Industries from capturing them. Following their rescue, he returned to the United States with his squad. After the events of 1973, his fate remains unknown before the timeline was erased.

Havok is remembered as a powerful, disciplined mutant, loyal to his comrades, someone who always tried to maintain control of a power capable of destroying everything around him.

Moira MacTaggert is a CIA agent who becomes a crucial ally of the early X-Men. In 1962, while investigating the Hellfire Club, she discovers the existence of mutants and seeks help from Charles Xavier. Together with him and Erik Lehnsherr, she participates in the creation of Division X and witnesses the birth of the first mutant team.

Moira accompanies the X-Men during the Cuban Missile Crisis, attempts to stop Sebastian Shaw, and witnesses Magneto deflect a bullet that wounds Xavier, for which she is blamed. After the conflict, she cares for Charles as he adjusts to a wheelchair, but he decides to erase her memories to protect the location of his school.

She eventually leaves the CIA and becomes a doctor on Muir Island, maintaining a close relationship with Xavier. She attends his funeral and is one of the few humans to pay their respects. After the battle at Alcatraz, Moira discovers that Charles transferred his consciousness into the body of a comatose patient, immediately recognizing him by his voice.

Despite not being a mutant, Moira displayed courage, loyalty, and a strong commitment to coexistence. Her role was essential in the origin of the X-Men and in Xavier's survival beyond his physical death.

Jean Grey is a Class 5 mutant with powerful telekinetic and telepathic abilities. She was a key member of the X-Men under the tutelage of Professor X, who initially placed psychic barriers around her mind to control her immense power, giving rise to a dual personality known as the Phoenix. She graduated as a doctor and maintained a deep romantic connection with Cyclops, though she also had a complex relationship with Wolverine.

The Phoenix, a cosmic entity, bonded with Jean, amplifying her powers to limitless levels, allowing her to manipulate matter at a molecular level, generate force fields, fly, and even disintegrate beings. This connection, however, made her unstable, and in moments of emotional stress, the Phoenix would take control, revealing a purely instinctive nature of anger and desire. This led her to commit devastating acts, including the murders of Cyclops and Professor X.

Finally, Jean Grey, under the influence of the Phoenix Force, was stopped by Wolverine, who, at her request, took her life to end her destruction. Her death was a tragic event that left a deep mark on the X-Men, especially Logan.

Wolverine is a mutant with retractable bone claws (later coated in adamantium), an accelerated healing factor, superhuman senses, and enhanced strength. Born in 1832, he has lived for nearly 200 years, fighting in numerous wars and serving as co-leader of the X-Men. His past is violent and mysterious, often preferring solitude due to the loss of loved ones and a distrust of others. Despite his grumpy temper and "berserker" nature, he is loyal to those he trusts and protects the defenseless.

Throughout his life, he underwent the Weapon X program, where his skeleton was infused with the indestructible metal adamantium, making him nearly invulnerable. However, in his later years, the adamantium began to poison him, weakening his healing factor. He eventually found his clone daughter, Laura (X-23), and sacrificed his life in 2029 to protect her and other mutant children, passing away peacefully with Laura by his side. His legacy includes his pivotal role in shaping timelines and saving the mutant race.

Iceman (Bobby Drake) is an American mutant with the ability to generate and manipulate ice, freeze anything around him, and transform his body into "organic ice." He entered Xavier's School as a teenager, where he became one of the X-Men's most trusted students.

Of a noble and reserved nature, Bobby experienced a major family conflict when his family discovered he was a mutant. He formed a romantic relationship with Rogue, marked by the impossibility of physical contact, which ultimately affected them both. He also developed a close friendship with Kitty Pryde.

As an active member of the X-Men, he participated in key events: Stryker's attack on the Mansion, the mission to stop Magneto, the "Mutant Cure" debacle, and the final battles at Alcatraz. Over time, he achieved a more complete mastery of his powers, enabling him to generate ice structures with precision and combat high-level threats.

During the dark timeline shown in Days of Future Past, Bobby died defending his teammates from the Sentinels, sacrificing himself like a true X-Man.

Rogue (Marie D'Ancanto) is an American mutant capable of absorbing the life force, memories, skills, and powers of anyone she touches. This gift, uncontrollable for much of her life, led her to run away from home after accidentally injuring her first boyfriend. During her escape, she meets Wolverine, with whom she forms an almost paternal bond.

Rescued by the X-Men after an attack by Sabretooth, she enrolls at Xavier's School, though she lives with fear and guilt over her powers. She maintains a close relationship with Iceman and constantly struggles with her desire for a normal life and to be able to touch the people she loves.

Magneto kidnaps her to use her as a "battery" for his mutant machine, nearly killing her in the process. The X-Men save her, but the experience leaves a physical mark: white streaks in her hair. Throughout the films, Rogue seeks control, identity, and acceptance, even considering the mutant cure.

In the future timeline, she reappears alive in Days of Future Past, but in the main canon it is established that she died in 2023. Even so, her legacy within the X-Men remains that of a young woman with a dangerous gift, enormous sensitivity, and a deep desire to simply be able to touch without hurting.

Kurt Wagner, known as Nightcrawler, is a German mutant with the ability to teleport, as well as superhuman agility, advanced reflexes, wall-crawling ability, a powerful and agile prehensile tail, and a natural talent for stealth. He grew up in the Szardos Circus, where he honed his acrobatic skills. His life changed when he was captured by William Stryker, who tortured and mentally manipulated him to use him in an attempt to assassinate the President of the United States.

Following this attack, Nightcrawler is found by Storm and Jean, who temporarily bring him into the X-Men. During the events of X2, he becomes a key ally: he rescues Rogue after the explosion on the X-Jet, helps locate Stryker's base, and accompanies the team in rescuing the kidnapped teenagers. Deeply religious, kind, and shy, Kurt always tries to avoid violence, though he demonstrates surprising combat skills when the situation demands it.

Nightcrawler is characterized by his faith, his noble heart, and his desire to see the best in others, even those who mistreated him. After Jean Grey's death, he prays for her and for humanity, demonstrating his compassionate nature. In the X2 timeline, his ultimate fate remains uncertain due to the alteration of time, but he is remembered as one of the kindest and bravest mutants of his era.

Piotr “Peter” Rasputin, known as Colossus, is a Russian-American mutant capable of transforming his entire body into organic steel, granting him superhuman strength, extreme durability, and near-total physical resistance. Born during the Chernobyl disaster, his mutation awakened at a young age, and he was raised in the United States, eventually attending Xavier's School.

He started out as a quiet, kind, and artistically talented student, but during Stryker's attack in X2, he revealed his enormous potential by protecting and guiding the other young people. He eventually became an active member of the X-Men, participating in missions such as the Danger Room simulation and the Battle of Alcatraz, where he and Wolverine performed the classic Fastball Special.

In Days of Future Past, Colossus is one of the last survivors of 2023, fighting alongside the Free Mutants against the Sentinels. He dies brutally in several timelines, but is always willing to sacrifice himself to give humanity and his comrades a second chance.

Despite his imposing appearance, Peter is a noble, protective, and loyal man. His strength is surpassed only by his sense of duty: he always puts his life on the line to protect his loved ones. His final fate comes in 2023, when he falls in combat during the war against the Sentinels.

Kitty Pryde, also known as Shadowcat, is an American mutant with the ability to phase through matter and, in the post-apocalyptic future, project a person's consciousness into the past. She began as a student at Xavier's School, where she trained alongside other young mutants such as Rogue, Iceman, and Jubilee. During Stryker's attack on the mansion, she used her powers to escape and help others.

Over time, he became an active member of the X-Men, distinguished by his ingenuity and speed in combat. In X-Men: The Last Stand, he played a key role by confronting the Juggernaut and saving Leech using his phasing abilities. He also experienced an emotional triangle with Iceman and Rogue, revealing his more human and sensitive side.

In Days of Future Past, as an adult, she played her most important role: using her power to send Wolverine's mind back in time and thus prevent the world's fall to the Sentinels. Her sacrifice and loyalty made her a fundamental part of the mutant resistance.

Throughout the saga, Kitty is portrayed as a brave, intelligent mutant deeply committed to Xavier's ideals. Born in the 1980s and dying in 2023 during the war against the Sentinels, she is remembered as one of the most important young heroines of the X-Men.

Angel, born Warren Worthington III, is a mutant with enormous white wings that allow him to fly at great speed and height. From childhood, he suffered shame because of his mutation, even attempting to cut off his wings to hide them. His father, upon discovering this, spearheaded the development of the "mutant cure," intending to use him as the first volunteer.

When the time came to administer the cure, Warren panicked, broke free from his restraints, and flew away from the building, completely rejecting the idea that his mutation was an illness. He then sought refuge at Xavier's School, where he was eventually accepted without judgment or pressure.

During the Battle of Alcatraz, his father was captured by members of the Brotherhood and thrown from a building. Angel arrived in time to save him, proving that his wings—the reason for his father's rejection—were precisely what allowed him to protect him. After the battle, he was seen flying freely over San Francisco, now reconciled with his identity.

In 2011, during a peaceful protest against the new arms race for "cures" created by Trask and other corporations, the Sentinels attacked the demonstrators. Angel was killed in the chaos, becoming one of the many victims of anti-mutant violence.

Shy, noble, and genuine, Warren went from feeling ashamed of who he was to embracing his nature and acting with courage. His story reflects the weight of self-acceptance and the conflict between identity and family pressure.

Portrayed by Ben Foster, Angel is remembered as the mutant who wanted to hide his wings… until he discovered they were his greatest strength.

Bishop is a mutant capable of absorbing and redirecting energy, an ability he uses to enhance his strength, stamina, and a rifle that fires devastating bursts. He is one of the few survivors of the Sentinel War and the founder of the Free Mutants, a global resistance network that kept the fight alive when all seemed lost.

In the original timeline, Bishop escaped from Camp X-Ray in 2018 and began assembling mutants to fight the adaptive Sentinels. By 2023, he was leading the group from a bunker in Moscow. His primary role was to allow Shadowcat to send her consciousness back in time a few days to avert inevitable attacks. During these time jumps, Bishop died repeatedly, but each time he managed to subtly alter the immediate future to keep his team alive.

In the final battle of Moscow, he falls under Sentinel fire, but manages to complete the time jump that alters the sequence of events and avoids immediate death. Then, in the partially changed timeline, Bishop and the Free Mutants join the X-Men at a monastery in China to try to change history at its source. There, he dies again facing the Sentinels, sacrificing himself once more to buy time.

When Wolverine alters the past in 1973, the war never happens. In that revised timeline, Bishop doesn't die, and his fate remains open, though the resistance he once led no longer exists.

Portrayed by Omar Sy, Bishop appears as a serious, disciplined leader willing to give his life time and time again to ensure a better future for all mutants.

Sunspot is a mutant capable of absorbing and manipulating solar energy, transforming into a fiery form that grants him enhanced strength, flight, heat resistance, and the ability to unleash energy blasts. His power makes him a fierce fighter, though limited by the time he can maintain his solar form against the Sentinels.

Born in Brazil, Roberto survived the early years of the war and eventually joined the Free Mutants, the resistance led by Bishop. From 2018 to 2023, he became one of the team's offensive pillars, using his energy to breach enemy lines and support Colossus, Blink, and Warpath during the constant ambushes by the advanced Sentinels.

In the Battle of Moscow, Sunspot faced a Sentinel who quickly adapted his power, mimicking ice to counter him until he was killed. His death, along with that of the rest of the team, allowed Shadowcat and Bishop to complete the time jump that would change history.

In the corrected timeline, Sunspot and the Free Mutants meet with the X-Men at a monastery in China, agreeing to join forces to protect Wolverine as he mentally travels back to 1973. In this final battle, he is once again killed by the adaptive Sentinels, despite fighting with all his solar power until the very last moment.

Despite not revealing much about his personal life, Sunspot proves to be a valiant warrior, willing to sacrifice his very existence for a future in which he may no longer be alive. In the altered timeline—where the war never takes place—his fate remains entirely open.

Portrayed by Adan Canto, Sunspot stands out as an explosive mutant, determined and loyal to the end.

Blink, whose real name is Clarice Fong, is a mutant with the ability to create dimensional portals that allow her to teleport people, objects, and even redirect enemy attacks. Her green eyes are adapted to perceive the energy fields she uses when opening portals.

In the original timeline, Blink was one of the few survivors of the war against the Sentinels. In 2012, she helped rescue 30 mutants from concentration camps, demonstrating her commitment to the mutant cause. She eventually joined the Free Mutants, led by Bishop, and became part of the resistance group that stood up to the Sentinels in the final years of the war.

In 2023, she participated in the defense of the Moscow vault, where she used her portals to move her comrades, slow down the Sentinels, and buy Shadowcat time to send Bishop back in time. Despite her skill and bravery, Blink died in combat when she was impaled by a Sentinel while trying to save Warpath. Her sacrifice was key to the success of the time-travel mission.

Following the alteration of the timeline, Blink and the Free Mutants reunited with the X-Men at a monastery in China. There, they collaborated with Professor X, Magneto, Wolverine, and Storm to support the plan to completely prevent the creation of the Sentinels. Although her ultimate fate in the corrected timeline is not detailed, she is no longer listed as deceased.

A mutant with superhuman strength, speed, agility, senses, and stamina. He can also propel himself through the air and is a master of hand-to-hand combat, especially with Bowie knives. His role in X-Men: Days of Future Past is that of a silent and loyal warrior, one of the last survivors of a future dominated by the Sentinels.

In the original timeline, Warpath is a member of the Free Mutants, the resistance led by Bishop. Thanks to his keen senses, he serves as the group's lookout: detecting Sentinels from great distances and alerting his comrades. He fights alongside Blink, Colossus, Sunspot, Iceman, and the rest of the team, repeatedly facing Sentinels in Moscow and later in China.

Despite his bravery, Warpath dies in both battles: first he is incinerated by a Sentinel beam while trying to protect Bishop and Shadowcat; then, in the battle of the monastery, he falls again defending the X-Men's final mission.

In the corrected timeline, thanks to Wolverine's journey to the past that prevents the creation of the Sentinels, Warpath and the Free Mutants never get to experience that war, leaving him with an uncertain future but without the tragic fate of the original time.

Heroic, self-sacrificing, and ferocious in combat, Warpath stands out as one of the most resilient and noble fighters in the dystopian future of Days of Future Past.
