Neutral Mutants

Boom-Boom (Tabitha Smith). Tabitha has a troubled past and a criminal father. Originally one of the New Mutants, she felt that she didn't fit in and moved in with the Brotherhood, who were more her style. She often played practical jokes on the boys (such as shaving off Blob's Mohawk while he slept) and abused their hospitality, though they did little to stop her. She left following Mystique's return. Her role in the series was significantly diminished afterward; she lived on her own and appeared mostly in the company of her friend Amara. Her powers are making energy 'time bombs' that can explode at will.



The Morlocks. The Morlocks made several appearances on the show. Like in the comics, the Morlocks made their option of living down in the sewers, because their mutations were far too apparent to stop human from shunning them from society. The characters included:

Callisto, the leader of the group, who has enhanced senses. She is more passive and reasonable than her comic-book counterpart.


Caliban, a chalk-white character able to detect the presence of other mutants.


Cybelle, a Black American female with an acid touch.


Torpid, the mute little girl with the huge hands, who possesses a paralyzing touch. She was created for the series.


Facade, who can blend into his surroundings. He was created for the series.



Lucid, a froglike mutant who can see through solid objects. He was created for the series.


One other Morlock, Scaleface (who can shapeshift into a fire-breathing reptilian creature) appeared in one episode. She tried to prevent Berzerker from escaping the Morlocks, a nod to their relationship in the comics.



X-23. It is noteworthy in that she was created for and made her debut on X-Men: Evolution, and was later adopted as a comic character. She is a female clone of Wolverine that was raised since "birth" to be a killer for HYDRA. She at first blames Wolverine for her wretched existence and tries to kill him, but relents when she realizes that he had nothing to due with her creation or abuse. She has two claws in each hand instead of three, and a single claw in each foot. In scenes from the future on the final episode, X-23 is among the X-Men.


Angel (Warren Worthington), worked with the X-Men on occasional missions. He donned a costume and a mask to perform heroic deeds in New York City, but stopped after his actions garnered negative attention from Magneto. Like his comic counterpart, he is a multi-millionaire.


Forge, in great contrast to his comic counterpart, is a Bayville High student and mutant inventor from the late 1970s who was trapped in a pocket dimension he called "Middleverse" for several years. Only when Nightcrawler found his way there and the X-Men found a way to free him did Forge return, though he was twenty years late for his curfew. While he is an ally of the X-Men, he only appeared once more to test equipment that would enhance Nightcrawler's teleportation range, at the cost of releasing extra-dimensional monsters into the world. He is curiously absent from the final shot of the series, which included the X-Men and the various allies they had gathered throughout the series.



Havok (Alex Masters/Summers, Cyclop's brother), Long believed to be dead, Alex (who was adopted by the Masters family rather than the Blanding family as his comic counterpart was) is reunited with his brother Scott, though Alex has come under the influence of Magneto, leading Scott away from the X-Men. Eventually, Alex and Scott realize that Magneto has tricked them and help put an end to his plans. Alex turns down an offer to join the X-Men, preferring to stay in Hawaii and become a professional surfer. Despite this, he agrees to help in the fight against Apocalypse, even donning an X-Men training uniform.


Danielle Moonstar, is a Native-American mutant who befriends Kitty. Her powers of psychic projection exposed the worst fears of her neighbors, which resulted in the entire population of her small town moving away and leaving her and her grandfather the only residents of a ghost town. Her story coincidentally parallels that of Forge, the only other Native-American in the series.



Destiny is Irene Adler, a blind mutant who has visions of future possibilities and events. In "Rogue Recruit", it is implied that Destiny is employed by Magneto, but her true loyalties lie with her longtime friend Mystique (in the comics, the two were lesbian lovers; this was glossed over in Evolution for obvious reasons). She raised Rogue in Caldecott, Mississippi, waiting for the day in which her potentially unlimited power would manifest. Though Irene lies to Rogue on several occasions (such as telling her that she must always cover her skin due to a phony illness, and convincing her that the X-Men are dangerous mutant hunters), she clearly has genuine affection for the girl.



Dorian Leach is a young boy whose mutation nullifies the powers of any mutant within range. His green skin marks him as a mutant, and his mother struggles to protect him from anti-mutant bigots. In his final appearance, Rogue absorbs his powers to fight against Apocalypse.
