Rogue
Discription
Anna Marie Darkholme, also known as Rogue, is a mutant and a member of the X-Men.
Personality
Rogue was beautiful and smart with a great sense of humor, a heart of gold, an independent nature, and a lot of spirit. She usually had an attitude of good-natured irreverence. Rogue occasionally referred to everyone including even her enemies as “hon” and “sugar” and spoke in a sassy Southern accent. She was a bit of a flirt and flirted with any man she found to be attractive such as Cyclops, Colossus, Archangel, and Spider-Man during her time as a hero. Rogue has; proven herself to be a valuable asset of the X-Men and examples of her heroic deeds; include her attempt to confront Magneto; during his attack on Metro Chemical Plant, the crushing of the Sentinels in order to save Senator Robert Kelly’s life, the defeat of Mister Sinister and the Nasty Boys in Savage Land, the help she gave the other X-Men when they temporarily worked together with the Shi'ar Princess Lilandra to avoid the crisis involving the M’Kraan Crystal and the Dark Phoenix, and her three run-ins with Apocalypse. Rogue has a close friendship with Storm, deeply respected Professor Xavier and generally got along well; with Beast, Cyclops, Gambit, Jubilee, Jean Grey, Morph, and Wolverine. But she was unafraid to call Wolverine names, insult him, yell at him, argue with him or threaten to get into a fight; with him; whenever he annoyed her or; made her angry. The fact that; she possessed invulnerability as one of her powers more than likely was a factor in this; she knew he could not hurt her, so she could get away with stuff other people could not. Despite Rogue being heroic; she can sometimes be headstrong, short-tempered, hot-headed and selfish; but will always do the right thing in the end. In X-Men '97, Rogue's old romantic feelings towards Magneto has been rekindled, after he became the new leader of the X-Men, leaving Gambit in the dust.

But once Magneto had threaten the world by cutting off all power and electricity, Rogue had sided; with him; instead of the X-Men, officially; leaving the team and; even physically attacked Nightcrawler, Wolverine, Jean and Storm; when they try to stop Magneto. At this point, Rogue is no longer the misunderstood hero she was, she is now an aggressive, bitter, cold, ruthless and violent terrorist; who despises humans, willing to let them go extinct and she is most likely now an enemy of the X-Men; proving that; Gambit's death, as well as the death of the other mutants on Genosha has not only; resulted in Rogue's personality becoming far more darker; but she has also lost her sense of justice, honor and morals; in the process.

They have also demonstrated the ability to transform into animals, even animals much larger than a person, presumably gaining the extra mass extradimensional. They can transform body parts and are a natural mimic of voices and sounds. They can also mimic artificial elements of a person like Omega Red's cybernetic tentacles and Wolverine's claws. However, they can't always mimic the physical properties of these elements, as they can't mimic the hardness of Wolverine's claws.
- Power Mimicry: Morph alters their molecular density to mimic physical shape and appearance of other beings, so, if they possess some superhuman physical powers granted by their physiology, Morph gains a version of them, but they are not as powerful as the original. For example, if Morph turns into Quicksilver and races the real one, the real Quicksilver will win.
- Superhuman Strength: Depending on who or what they transform into, Morph can gain superhuman strength. By transforming into a large animal like a panther or a rhino, they gain that particular animal's level of strength. They can also mimic the strength of superhumans like Sasquatch, Omega Red, and Sabretooth by taking on their respective forms.

Beast
Discription
Henry McCoy was born a mutant with gargantuan hands and feet. He initially rejected his mutancy, and concocted a serum hoping to cure himself, but it was unsuccessful and resulted in his skin turning into blue fur. Hank was dubbed 'Beast' and joined the X-Men. Hank was one of Charles Xavier's original students and a founding member of the X-Men.
Personality
Beast's personality is portrayed as more complex and darker than in previous adaptations. George Buza, who plays Beast, discusses the show's darker tone, reflecting the real-life challenges and social climates of the time. The series explores Beast's character through his interactions with other mutants and humans, highlighting his struggles with prejudice and his role as a public advocate for mutant rights. Beast's character is also shown to have a deep love for his patients, particularly Jubilee, and his ability to balance his intelligence and strength with his humanity.
Powers and abilities
- Superhuman Strength: Originally in his teen years, Beast was able to lift about 1 ton. From breaking chains to headbutting through a solid metal wall, he always made full use of his physical prowess by combining muscular strength with agile kinetic buildup. After his mutation into a blue simian form, which eventually stabilized afterward, his strength was increased to the point where he can now lift about 10 tons, which is sufficient for him to smash through a brick wall with a single punch, toss a smaller car, and to tie an iron barbell into a knot. When enhanced after Infectia´s kiss, he was strong enough to smash a tank with his bare hands and punch the ground to create a massive shock wave. Even before these extreme levels though, he has lifted part of a full-grown oak tree made of solid gold, with effort. His strength also extends to the muscles in his legs, allowing him to leap a height of 32 feet high and 50 feet in a standing broad jump.
- Superhuman Speed: Beast can run and move at speeds that are slightly beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete, despite his abnormal size. He can run at speeds up to 40 mph for short distances, particularly if he runs on all fours. It also allows Beast to attack opponents before they can react and pull their trigger fingers and keep up with opponents who can move at low-level superhuman speeds.
- Superhuman Stamina: Beast's highly advanced musculature produces fewer fatigue toxins during physical activity than that of an ordinary human. He can exert himself at peak capacity for several hours before the buildup of fatigue toxins in his blood begins to impair him. He also commented that after his mutation into a cat-like form that he no longer needs a full night of sleep, although it is unknown if he still retains this side effect of his stamina after becoming a new ape-like form once again.
- Superhuman Durability: Beast's bodily tissues are harder and more resistant to certain types of injuries than the bodies of normal humans. His physiology can withstand great impact forces, though he can be injured by many types of conventional weapons such as standard firearms and bladed weapons. However, he can withstand physical impacts, such as falling from several stories by landing on his feet without suffering any broken bones or sprains. Also, he is able to be physically struck by many superhumanly strong beings like Colossus and The Hulk that would either severely injure or kill a normal human with little to no discomfort.
- Superhuman Agility: Beast's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. While in his simian form, he has the agility of a great ape combined with the acrobatic prowess of an Olympic level gymnast. He can walk a tightrope or a slack rope as easily as most people can walk on a sidewalk. He can also walk on his hands for many hours or perform a complicated sequence of gymnastic stunts such as flips, rolls, and springs. He can easily match or surpass any Olympic record in gymnastics.
- Superhuman Reflexes: Beast's reflexes are similarly enhanced and are on levels beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. His training with the X-Men, as well as his experience battling enemies, has granted him the reaction time to evade gunfire. He can react at low-level superhuman speeds, even catching smaller missile mid-air with his feet. His reflexes are a partial reason why the Beast is able to be so agile and fast, despite the abnormal bulk of his ape-like form.
- Superhuman Dexterity: He can perform many tasks with his feet as easily as a human could do with his hands. His manual and pedal dexterity are so great that he can write using both hands at once or tie knots in rope with his toes.
- Regenerative Healing Factor: Beast's metabolism enables him to repair mild to moderate injuries much faster than a normal human. For instance, he can recover from minor ailments, such as a severe cold or fever within a few hours. More severe injuries, like broken bones, used to heal within a few days, whereas normal humans might take many weeks or even months. However, his healing abilities have increased to the point where he recovers from mild to moderate injuries within the span of a few hours. However, he cannot regenerate destroyed organs or severed limbs.

Powers and abilities
- Energy Metabolization: Bishop can also choose to store absorbed energy within his personal reserves, whereupon the energy increases his strength, speed, stamina and recuperative abilities, as well as affording him a measure of invulnerability. The upper limits of his ability to enhance his own physical abilities with absorbed energy, similar to Sebastian Shaw and Agent Zero, is not exactly known, but is well into the level of being superhuman.
- Regeneration: Bishop can heal at a faster rate than an average human; Bishop's regenerative factor increases proportionally to the amount of energy he absorbs, reaching superhuman limits. He is unable to regenerate limbs.
- Invulnerability: Lately he has demonstrated the ability to absorb most of the energy from the attacks that are launched, regardless of type, making him almost invulnerable to all attacks. His power famously allowed him, at its height, to absorb a psionic blast from Onslaught that would've annihilated the X-Men. On a similar note, Biship took and returned back a blast two-fold from the powerful mutant Mr. M.
