List of X-Men (TV Series) Characters - Guest Allies

Guest Allies

• Moira MacTaggert (voiced by Lally Cadeau) - A former love of Professor X and a researcher of mutation.
• Banshee (Sean Cassidy) (voiced by Jeremy Ratchford) - Moira's fiancé.

Powers: Superhuman scream.

• Phoenix - The entire saga of the Phoenix is retold in the third season, divided into the five-part "Phoenix Saga," in which Jean acquires the power of the Phoenix; the battle for the M'Kraan crystal; the "Dark Phoenix Saga," showcasing the battle with the Hellfire Club; the Phoenix's transformation into Dark Phoenix; and the battle to decide Jean's fate. These particular episodes are as close as the cartoon came to directly duplicating the comic book storyline. The "Dark Phoenix Saga" is so accurate to the original stories that the episodes have the additional credit, "Based on stories by Chris Claremont." Rather than destroying an inhabited system, the animated story had her destroy a deserted system and only disable the attacking Shi'ar cruiser. After the Phoenix left Jean's body, Jean retained her original powers, whereas in the aborted comic book ending, she would have been lobotomized by the Shi'ar and lost them entirely.
• Colossus (Piotr Rasputin) (voiced by Rick Bennett, then by Robert Cait) - The X-Men help Colossus when he was framed for crimes committed by Juggernaut. He later comes to them when Omega Red is attacking Russia.

Powers: Transforms his body into organic steel, obtaining superhuman strength.

• Magik (Illyana Rasputin) (voiced by Tara Strong) - Illyana appeared the episode "Red Dawn." In that episode, she and her mother remained by the side of Colossus and the X-Men as they fought the newly-released Omega Red. She also appeared in one of Cable's visions of the altered timestream in "Time Fugitives," in which, without the antibodies developed to fight Apocalypse's techno-organic virus, many mutants, like Illyana, developed harmful mutations which killed them.
• Nightcrawler (Kurt Wagner) (voiced by Adrian Hough) - Nightcrawler only made guest appearances in the episodes "Nightcrawler" and "Bloodlines" and never joined the X-Men. He was shown first in an episode that featured him as a monk in a Swiss abbey, persecuted by one of his superiors and the townspeople who believed him to be a demon. Gambit, Rogue, and Wolverine helped him through his trials. The second episode reveals his origins as the birth son of Mystique, discovered by his foster-sister Rogue. In the end, after a discussion, Mystique apparently dies to save both of them from Graydon Creed.

Powers: Teleportation, sticks to surfaces, night vision, blends into shadows.

• Psylocke (Elizabeth Braddock) - Psylocke appears during the fourth season in the episode "The Promise of Apocalypse" (Beyond Good and Evil, part 2), and in the episode "End and Beginning" (Beyond Good and Evil, part 4). In this storyline, Psylocke appears to be a lone warrior who practices theft with a cause (a-la-Robin Hood). She comes into direct conflict with Archangel and, later on, Sabretooth and Mystique. She refers to her brother as fighting to help mutants, but does not name him as Captain Britain.

Powers: Fires psychic "knives" from distance.

• Angel/Archangel (Warren Worthington III) (voiced by Stephen Ouimette) - Archangel's origin was retold in the series, where Apocalypse creates the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Angel goes to a scientist who claims he can "cure" mutancy, but it is actually Mystique, a servant of Apocalypse, who turns him into Death. Angel also makes a cameo appearance in the "Beyond Good and Evil" four-part episode, and as one of the original X-Men in two flashbacks. In this version, he overcomes the Death persona to become Archangel thanks to Rogue, who saps the evil that lay within him when she touches him.

Powers: Winged flight, later razor sharp metallic wings and feathers.

• Silver Fox (Kayla Silverfox) - Silver Fox appeared in the episode "Weapon X, Lies & Videotape." In this continuity, she too was a member of Team X, Wolverine's lover, and a victim of the Weapon X program.
• Maverick (Christoph Nord) - Maverick appeared in the episode "Weapon X, Lies & Videotape," searching for answers about his past and his involvement with Weapon X, teaming with Wolverine, Sabretooth, and Silver Fox. In the episode "Whatever It Takes," the character Morph briefly turns into Maverick to taunt Wolverine. Maverick also appears in flashbacks that depict himself and Wolverine battling Omega Red, though that memory could be one of Weapon X's implanted memories.
• Darkstar (Laynia Petrovna) (voiced by Elizabeth Rukavina) - Darkstar guest-starred in the episode "Red Dawn." She is initially the mutant enforcer for a group of rogue Russian generals seeking to reestablish the Soviet Union with the aid of Omega Red. After witnessing the crimes committed by Omega Red, Darkstar rebels against the generals and sides with the X-Men and Colossus.

Powers: Darkforce manipulation allows her to fly and create force fields.

• Lilandra Neramani (voiced by Camilla Scott) - Lilandra appeared in the third season. There, she sought the help of Professor X and his X-Men to help her defeat her evil brother D'Ken. During the short time they shared alone, Xavier and Lilandra quickly fell in love and eventually managed to defeat D'Ken. When Lilandra became the new heir to the Shi'ar throne, she kissed and thanked Xavier for his help and even offered for him to join her, but he declined to do this for as long as there is no peace between mankind and mutants. Lilandra left, but eventually returned to Earth when Xavier became deadly ill in the final episode of the show. She took Xavier to the Shi'ar Empire with her so they could heal him.

Powers: Minor telepathy.

• Sage Araki
• Longshot (voiced by Rod Wilson) - Longshot appeared in the episodes "Mojovision" and "Longshot." In the animated series, it seemed to indicate that he might have a relationship with Spiral.

Powers: Probability manipulation (good luck), superhuman agility.

• Ka-Zar (Kevin Plunder) (voiced by Robert Bockstael) and Zabu - Ka-Zar and Zabu appeared in the episodes "Reunion" (parts 1 and 2) and "Savage Land, Strange Heart" (parts 1 and 2).
• Warlock (voiced by David Corban) - Warlock's history was altered so that he actually came to Earth in an effort to escape his destiny of merging with the Phalanx.
• Cannonball (Sam Guthrie) - Cannonball made a small appearance along with his sister, Paige Guthrie, in the episode "Hidden Agenda." The episode featured Rogue learning about a new mutant that had been making waves in her hometown. However, his appearance caused a violation of continuity, as Cannonball had already made a cameo appearance (on a video screen in "Night of the Sentinels"), already employing his mutant power, and with blond hair.
• Captain America (Steve Rogers) (voiced by Lawrence Bayne) - Captain America appears in the episode "Old Soldiers." He is an American agent, sent along with the Canadian Wolverine, to rescue a scientist kidnapped by the Red Skull and the Nazis. He is present in the episode only in Wolverine's flashbacks. He was also seen in a cameo appearance in the episode "Red Dawn."
• Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers) (voiced by Roscoe Handford) - Ms. Marvel appears in the episode "A Rogue's Tale" (season 2), where she tortures Rogue for stealing her powers and leaving her in a coma.
• Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff) (voiced by Tara Strong) - The Scarlet Witch made both a guest and a cameo appearance. She appeared in the episode "Family Ties" along with Quicksilver, when they tried to find out who their father is.
• Mjnari - Mjnari appeared in the episode "Whatever It Takes." In this episode, the Shadow King takes over Mjnari's body, so Rogue and Storm go to Africa to help him. Mjnari is a mutant with superhuman speed. He is also Storm's godson.
• Darrell Tanaka - A mutant healer in the mutant town of Skull Mesa. Like Mjnari, he's an original character.
• Iceman (Bobby Drake) (voiced by Dennis Akayama) - Bobby Drake appeared as a former member of the team, who quit due to disagreements with Xavier. He appears in the episode "Cold Comfort" where he gets Jubilee's help to rescue his girlfriend Lorna Dane (not called Polaris here) from a government facility which is housing the X-Factor. In the series, Iceman was seen in many flashbacks which include "Sanctuary (part 1)" and "Xavier Remembers."
• Dazzler (Alison Blaire) - Dazzler appeared as a background character in "Mojovision," and was central to the plot of "Dark Phoenix Saga (part 1): Dazzled."
• Senator Robert Kelly (voiced by Len Carlson) - Robert Kelly ran for president on an anti-mutant campaign during the beginning of the show's first season. Kelly came to befriend the X-Men and support mutants shortly after his election as president in the season's final episode, after the X-Men had rescued him from both an assassination attempt by Mystique and an attempted brainwashing by Master Mold. In the first episode of season two, Kelly took office as president, spoke out in support of mutants, and made his first presidential act an official pardoning of Beast, who had been unfairly arrested early in season one. These actions led Kelly's former, anti-mutant supporters to feel betrayed by him and create the public anti-mutant backlash that pervaded the entire second season of the show. In the third through fifth seasons of the series, President Kelly had a low profile. He remained friendly with the X-Men through the show's end, working with them to confront global mutant threats such as Magneto building an armed, inhabitable, mutants-only asteroid in space during the fourth season.
