List of X-Men enemy teams

List of X-Men enemy teams

This is a list of some of the major foes of the Marvel Comics superhero team, the X-Men. This list is not comprehensive; the X-Men have been published nearly continuously since 1963, often in several concurrent titles, and have built up quite a long list of enemies.

Contents

Acolytes

The Acolytes are a group of mutant fanatics who believe that mutants are destined to conquer and destroy normal humanity.

Alliance of Evil

A band of mutant mercenaries who have been hired by Apocalypse, A.I.M., and other criminals.

The Hellfire Club

Due to the long standing and secretive nature of the organization, not all of its members are known. The listed members are all part of the Inner Circle, also known as the Lords Cardinal, and are aware of the darker side of the club. The non-Inner Circle members include many wealthy or politically connected men and women of the Marvel Universe like Tony Stark and Norman Osborn and are generally unaware and/or uninvolved with the Club's illegal activities.

Two pairs of enforcers are available to Club members, called White Knights and Ebony Knights (presumably to prevent confusion with the Black Knight). They are genetically engineered beings who obey the Lords Cardinal without question. They are only seen in Spider-Man Team-Up #1

Mutant Liberation Front

Mutant terrorists organized by the time-travelling Stryfe.

Nasty Boys

A gang of mutant thugs who work for Mister Sinister. Vertigo was a member of this team on the 1990s X-Men cartoon.

Neo

The Neo are an offshoot of the mutant genome, that lived in seclusion from the rest of the world. When the High Evolutionary switched off all mutant genes, several Neo died, as they had been relying on their powers right in this instant; some drowned, others fell from great heights. The survivors became the Warclan and tracked down Mr. Sinister, who had allied with the Evolutionary, and attempted to destroy the power negating machinery, along with the X-Men as they had been in the Evolutionary's orbital station.

They were later approached by Magneto who wanted to add them to his army on Genosha, and it seems they were among the many victims of the Sentinels attack during which 16 million people died.

The Neo (at least the member of the Warclan) can share their mutant powers with their leader, and their non-mutant physical abilities are at the peak of human prowess.

In the latest issue of Giant Size X-Men, the Neo were all but wiped by a group of entities called Evolutionaries who decided that mutants were the true evolution of humankind and destroyed the Neo in a bid to safeguard the mutant race (since due to Hope Summers and the Five Lights, the mutant species once again showed signs of evolutionary viability).
