Members

• Emma Frost of Chicago is even more pacifistic than Professor X, and her team has an even stronger peacekeeping slant than the X-Men. In this continuity, Emma has the power to turn into organic crystal (like her secondary mutation in the mainstream continuity), but does not seem to possesses telepathy like the mainstream version.
• Havok, a.k.a. Alex Summers, Scott/Cyclops' estranged brother, is the field leader of this group, seeking to outshine his brother. As in the mainstream comics, his powers and his brother's powers are completely ineffective when used on each other. Unlike the mainstream comics, however, Ultimate Alex is Cyclops' older brother. He also has serious anger-management issues.
• Cannonball, a.k.a. Sam Guthrie, is the group's newest recruit. His powers appear to be exactly like those of his mainstream counterpart.
• Cypher, a.k.a. Doug Ramsey, is the group's tech genius, and apparently not a mutant. He was one of the most successful players ever on the popular TV game show Jeopardy.
• Northstar, a.k.a. Jean-Paul Beaubier, is the group's speedster. He is openly homosexual, but in contrast to the mainstream comics, his parents seem to accept his orientation. His father is a high-ranking Canadian official and has ties to Nick Fury. Jean-Paul survived being shot by Sinister, and harbors a crush on Colossus. Said crush was apparently validated when Jean-Paul asked Piotr (Colossus) to Homecoming and the Russian X-Man accepted.
• Polaris, a.k.a. Lorna Dane, is Alex's girlfriend and Scott Summers' first and former love. During a rescue mission, her powers seemingly flared out of control (a frame-up, courtesy of the Brotherhood), killing dozens of bystanders. She was placed in the same S.H.I.E.L.D. holding cell as Magneto. She was originally considered to be one of the members for the government sponsored New Mutants but was rejected by the President due to her similar powers to Magneto. When the Brotherhood's attempts at framing her were revealed, Lorna was set free to return to the Academy of Tomorrow in Chicago with her friends.
• Sunspot, a.k.a. Roberto da Costa, is an angry vigilante mutant of Brazilian descent. He originally came from Harlem. He sees the X-Men as decadent Uncle Tom-like figures and has accused the X-Men of living in an ivory tower, considering themselves separate from "second-class muties" like himself. He also harbors a deep hatred for Magneto and his followers because of the anti-mutant hysteria that followed the destruction of the Washington Bridge at the hands of the Brotherhood. He had a friend called Angelo, who is known as "Skin" in the mainstream comics.
• Angel, aka Warren Worthington III, is the shy but very handsome winged child of the millionaire Worthington family. He is also engaged in a relationship with Allison Blaire, lead singer of the punk rock band "Dazzler". Orginally a member of the X-Men, Professor X expelled him from his Institute and asked him to enroll with Emma Frost's Academy of Tomorrow, using Warren as a spy in that group.

Former Members

• Karma had a short-lived stint in Emma's group when they were still called the 'New Mutants'. She was brought in by the President himself to observe the group. She is actually a part of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s own program consisting of young superhuman agents.

Karma, real name Xian Shan Coy Mahn, is a fictional character, a mutant superhero from Marvel Comics, and is notable as one of their few lesbian characters. ...

Notes

• Emma Frost once called her group her Hellions. But in that context, it was probably meant more as an in-joke regarding the name of the villain mutant team she led in the mainstream continuity, rather than its real name.

There have been several groups of fictional characters in the Marvel Comics universe who have been known as the Hellions. ... In the fictional Marvel Universe, Earth-616 or Earth 616 is the name used to identify the primary continuity in which most Marvel Comics titles take place. ...

Other supporting cast

Cover to Ultimate X-Men #19, featuring Elisabeth Braddock (Psylocke). Art by Adam Kubert.

• Elisabeth "Betsy" Braddock started as a colonel for the British secret service. She is the most powerful telepath in England and can create a "psychic grenade" (very similar to her 616 counterpart's psychic knife/katana). She was possessed by David Xavier (Proteus) and seemingly killed. But her consciousness survived, floating into the comatose body of an Asian girl called Kwannon. This body switch was actually a blessing in disguise, as firstly Betsy had breast cancer which would have killed her, and secondly she regards her near-death experience as deeply fascinating. Currently, she is building up S.T.R.I.K.E., the British division of S.H.I.E.L.D..
• Corporal Thaddeus Aloysius Cadwallander "Dum Dum" Dugan is the Commander of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Mutant Ops Division. He was assigned to track down rogue Weapon X agents that were still after Wolverine, and later was with Nick Fury when they outed the traitor in Washington during the attempted assassination of the government sponsored New Mutants. He has also given the impression that he knows Wolverine from his days before Weapon X, calling him "James".
• General Nick Fury is the head of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the X-Men's link to the U.S. government. He shares a love-hate-relationship with Charles Xavier. Recently, he broke his ties to the X-Men after the Magneto debacle.
• Gambit is Remy LeBeau, a Cajun homeless bum who performed card tricks for a living. He refused to join the X-Men when Storm and Xavier invited him, comparing them to the Salvation Army. When his powers spun out of control, Remy became a spy for Fenris and, in exchange, Fenris helped him gain control over his powers. After he abducted Rogue for Fenris, Remy found himself falling in love with her and learning of the deadly lengths which Fenris would go to to preserve their own agendas. When Fenris threatened to hurt Rogue, Remy ran off with her and caused her to leave the X-Men. Recently, Remy was fatally injured by Juggernaut. Before he died, he shared one last passionate kiss with Rogue. Because of the kiss, his consciousness is currently residing in Rogue's mind as well as his powers, which she has complete control of.
• Karma is one of SHIELD's psy-ops agents. She was called in by Nick Fury to find out whether or not the President was being mind-controlled by Charles Xavier, based on his recent pro-mutant stand. Upon the request of the President, she was added as the final member of the government sponsored New Mutants. She was later instrumental in gaining evidence against a high ranking government official who was the head of the anti-mutant conspiracy, killing both high-ranking officials involved in attacks on the 'New Mutants' on the Capitol steps.
• Dr. Moira MacTaggert is a Scottish mutant expert and runs her secret mutant shelter on Muir Island in the very north of Scotland. She was married to Charles Xavier, gave birth to her child David (Proteus), and divorced Charles after he left her.
• Lilandra Neramani is the Majestrix of a religious organisation called the Church of Shi'ar Enlightenment. She has met Charles Xavier on a business dinner and has proposed to support the X-Men. However, it is hinted that she may have a personal interest in Charles Xavier. She has told him that the church worships the Phoenix god, and that they believe that it has been reborn within the mutant Jean Grey. In exchange for her church's funding, she has requested that they be allowed to examine Jean.
• Spiral is the ex-girlfriend of Longshot (see above) with a tragic past. With the help of the X-Men, she escaped Genosha and defected to the U.S.A.
• Agent Dai Thomas was the Welsh partner of Elisabeth "Betsy" Braddock when they were both dispatched by the British Secret Service to aid the X-Men while they were in London. He was killed by David Xavier (Proteus).
