This is from Scott Smith scottsmith@inetnow.net, with updates and alterations by
someone please feel free to send any corrections to me.
The following is a compilation (unauthorized by Marvel Comics) of major characters
appearing in the X-Men Universe. It is far from complete; and may contain errors, but is
accurate to the compiler's knowledge through mid-1994 [I have updated it a little]. The
characters are alphabetized by their code-names, which are followed by their real names.
All " Powers " listed are mutant in origin, unless otherwise stated. Any word both in
parentheses and quotation marks in a "Powers" entry is a distinct sound often
associated with and, in some cases, referred to as that individual's power. Thank you to
Marvel for inadvertently providing me with all this information ( and something to
occupy my time ) and thank you, the reader, for just being interested.
Happy Reading,
The Compiler.
