Miscellaneous Characters


Amanda Sefton is Kurt Wagner's human girlfriend. Sweet but shy, she discovered Kurt's mutation on her own but was not frightened of him. She is one of the few humans at Bayville High who doesn't openly shun mutants. Caucasian in the comics, Amanda's ethnicity was changed to African-American/Eastern European. Unlike her comic book incarnation, she is not a practitioner of sorcery codenamed Magik.



Margali is Amanda Sefton's mother, who forbids her from seeing Kurt after he and Toad get into a fight that wrecks much of her house. Though she still has her comic counterpart's European heritage, she has no previous connection to Kurt and is not a sorceress.


Arcade, aka Webber Torque, is a freshman computer whiz. Mystique, posing as a girl called Risty Wilde, gets him to hack into Cerebro (which he thinks is merely a high-tech, interactive video game) so that she can steal data about Scarlet Witch. In the comics, Arcade is an obnoxious, flamboyant paid assassin, but in Evolution he is a normal, harmless (though over-enthusiastic) student.


Gabrielle Haller is Professor Xavier's ex-wife and the mother of Legion. The two married young and divorced because Xavier dedicated too much time to his study of mutants. Unbeknown to him, however, Gabrielle was pregnant at the time of their separation and decided to raise their son by herself. In the comics, Gabrielle was, like Magneto, a Holocaust survivor. She and Xavier were lovers and had their son out of wedlock, though this version of Gabrielle also chose to hide David's existence from his father.


Paul is a blond schoolmate of Scott Summers and was one of his good acquaintances. He made several appearances in the series, the last a look of utter bewilderment when the X-Men were outed on TV.


Taryn Fujioka is a black-haired, attractive girl who houses a crush on Scott. At first, she is Jean's best friend, but when Jean starts to develop feelings for Scott herself, becomes her most bitter rival. However, when Scott was outed as a mutant, she shunned him.

Captain America was a government-sponsored superhero who fought for the Allies in World War II. With Wolverine's help, he liberated Auschwitz (called a POW camp in the show due to censors) in Poland and rescued a young Magneto. The super-soldier serum that gave Captain America his powers was slowly killing him, however, and he was cryogenically frozen.



Risty Wilde was the assumed persona Mystique used to remain close to her adopted daughter, Rogue. Risty was a goth-punk from England with purple hair, and from the beginning of the second season, became fast friends with Rogue. The Risty persona was also used as a cover for Mystique to obtain data from the Xavier Institute. After the public revelation of mutants, Risty disappeared, allegedly because her parents had made her stay in England due to the mutant scandal (in reality, Mystique had been locked away in Area 51). Accidental skin contact with Rogue at a concert caused Mystique to lose control of her power, finally revealing to Rogue that Risty had been a false identity all along. Due to her purple hair and British accent, many fans assumed she had been modeled after Psylocke, or might even be the Evolution version of the character. The producers insist that it was a coincidence, and the two are unrelated.


Nick Fury (voiced by Jim Byrnes and Hajime Iijima) is the gruff leader of the secret government agency called S.H.I.E.L.D.. He has helped the X-Men on occasion, mostly when it benefits his own agenda.


Agatha Harkness She gives Scarlet Witch training in various disciplines that helps her control her powers. This Agatha Harkness does not demonstrate any supernatural abilities on the show.
