X-Men
Summary
One of the most renowned superhero teams ever made , 2000’sX - Menfeatured a card of mutants with immensely vary levels of power . One of the earliest and most influential Marvel motion picture ever made , the original entry in the recollective - runningFoxX - Menmovie seriesintroduced some of the most iconic extremity of the superhero squad into live - action . While they ’re mutant powers are incredibly wide-ranging , that ’s not to say that each variation in the original film is on adequate footing in a competitiveness .
Thecast of Fox’sX - Meninclude both the titular squad , students and friend of the great Charles Xavier , and the dastardly minions of Ian McKellan ’s Magneto . On both side , there are some well-defined powerhouses and weaker links , struggle to utilize their gift to their full extent . In terms of defense , in the altogether power , versatility , and unique weaknesses , the original roll ofX - Menmutants all bring something to the board , but only one can come out on top as the absolute strong .
10Mystique
The femme fatale with a non-combat power
As a member ofMagneto ’s Brotherhood of Mutants , Mystique is actually quite invaluable . Being capable to pass through human beau monde at such a high level , impersonating lawgiver , senators , or even fellow variation , is crucial to many of Magneto ’s plans . However , there ’s no refuse that scrap is n’t quite her forte , having minuscule to rely on when getting involved in an all - out brawl between the Brotherhood of Mutants and Charles Xavier ’s X - Men .
By no means is Mystique useless in a fight . Over a farseeing animation , she ’s managed to perfect a identification number of telling skill , including some potent warlike artwork and acrobatics . But compare to the fantastic capableness of some of the other mutants , Mystique ’s unspoiled arm is n’t brute force . Instead , the blue - skinned infiltrator is more suited to stealth and subterfuge , making her most efficacious strikes always the most unexpected . Not only is her power not groovy for direct fighting , but it requires some incredible acting skill to make effective use of .
9Jean Grey
Had yet to awaken her potential in the first X-Men movie
It may be a electrical shock for the all - muscular Dark Phoenix to rank so petty among the cast of the firstX - Menmovie . While Jean Grey grow into one of the most powerful mutants in theX - Menuniverse as her psychic and telekinetic power keep to unlock , she is n’t much of a menace in the very first film . In her unrecorded - activeness debut in 2000’sX - Men , Jean Grey ’s combat record is far from impressive .
The first meter Jean tries to use her powers obnoxiously , she manages to trap Toad midair with telekinesis , only to have her tightness instantaneously broken when he spits at her . Her psychic abilities are far from developed at this point in the narrative as well , failing to apply them in a competitiveness or cover the overpowering top executive of Cerebro . With basically only minor telekinesis that is n’t even guaranteed to ward off melee attackers , it ’s hard to make a case for Jean Grey as she appeared in the firstX - Menmovie .
8Toad
A slimy henchman with an unfortunate power
One of the most unfortunate mutations in the entire Fox universe , Toad ’s unflattering name is reliable to his mutant ability . Unlike most , his anuran - similar genetic mutation in reality gives him a bevy of biological enhancements , including increase agility and startle height , toxic spit , and a long , grabby spit that can harass his opposition from a distance . Toad has some neat tricks , but he finally adds up to being little more than a nuisance for the seasoned X - Men .
In a fight , Toad is more annoying than anything else , being difficult to tag thanks to his impressive jumping and rampart - clinging capabilities . finally , Toad is n’t able to do much more than beset his targets , with none of his business leader being particularly destructive or difficult to scarper from for most of the Adam - Men . The closest thing Magneto has to mutant canon - fodder in the first picture show , Toad ’s weakness is illustrate by Storm , who asks him " You have it off what happens to a Toad when its strike by lightning ? The same thing that happens to everything else . "
7Rogue
Nerfed compared to her comics version
Few mutant get the short final stage of the stick when it come to the downside of their might quite like Rogue . Cursed with the mutant power to debilitate the life effect out of anyone she touches , Rogue has to be consigned to a life without skin - to - skin inter-group communication , lest she violently take over someone else ’s memories and magnate . While this make maintaining romanticist family relationship hard , as detailed in themid - season close ofX - military personnel ' 97 , it can do in ready to hand when it comes to fighting other mutants .
While Rogue is guaranteed to take someone out of a combat with just one touch , manoeuvre herself to that position is much more unmanageable without her additional service line powers of flight and super - strength , whichX - Mentook away for the movie version . This means that it ’s far more probable for Rogue to be take out of a fighting before she has a hazard to apply her power on another sport . Not only that , but the sheltered adolescent starts the series with the least fight experience of any X - Man , make her more of a liability in combat than anything else .
6Sabretooth
Essentially a discount version of Wolverine
Being Wolverine ’s half - brother , Sabretooth ’s powers are fabulously similar , boasting almost the accurate same mutations as his eternal competition . Blessed with feline lightness , raise gage , super strength , and razor - astute claws tipping every fingertip , Sabretooth is n’t a scourge to be taken lightly . Unfortunately , he often lessen short of his ferine potential difference , compare particularly unfavorably to Wolverine himself .
Like Logan , Sabretooth has an enhanced healing component to go along with his forcible mutations , allowing him to shrug off deadly wounds . However , this aspect of his ability is n’t make much of a hazard to glint inSabretooth ’s first role in theX - Menmovies . His first skirmish with Wolverine is mostly successful due to being an ambush , but he does n’t seem eager to extend a straight - up fight . In the oddment , he ’s frightened off by Cyclops , and finally catches a stray that sends him fly out of the Statue of Liberty ’s summit .
5Cyclops
The Fox films weren’t kind to the mutant leader
Another variation that was drastically nerfed in the films compared to his comics personification , Cyclops baffle few moment to shine throughout the full FoxX - Menmovie series , rent alone within just the first film . His power are similar enough , rollick a devastatingly powerful optic good time held back only by his crimson quartz visor , which he can use to direct kinetic centre beams to case-by-case opponents . But 2000’sX - Menrobbed Cyclops of his best attributes , which had nothing to do with his actual powers .
In the comics , and other media , such asX - Men ' 97 , Cyclops is read to be a competent leader and a genius fight strategist . Bryan Singer’sX - Meninstead irrigate down the character to be little more than a envious contender for Wolverine , hurting his combat track record in the process . Once his visor is remove , water flea ca n’t do much for reverence of risking well-disposed fire , and his fully unleash beams are able of only consider down buildings rather than entire city . Still , he ’s capable to outclass the likes of Sabretooth quite easily with his powerful run onset .
4Wolverine
Surprisingly weak compared to his iconic status
The poster boy of the 2000sX - Menmovies , Hugh Jackman ’s Wolverine is one of themost iconic superhero portrayalsever for a good understanding . But beyond the role ’s perfect casting inX - Men , Wolverine ’s scrap record does n’t live up to expectations of the X - Men ’s flagship character . doubtlessly a capable mutant , Wolverine do as a clear doorman for the strong when compare the Fox universe mutation to one another , a line separating the mutant of middling fighting prowess from the true powerhouse .
compare to Sabretooth , Wolverine boasts longer , sharper claws , piss him far more minatory in melee combat , as well as an adamantium - laced skeleton , increase his durability . This metal off-white complex body part does come back to bite him when face off against Magneto , but usually helps fortify his already stupefying durability . While it may be impossible to keep Wolverine down for long , he ’s still vulnerable to psychic attacks , and ca n’t do much against an opponent that can systematically out - ramble him with area of effect attacks .
3Magneto
The master of magnetism earns his title
Even if his Brotherhood of Mutants do n’t pose the most telling cadre of powered henchman liken to the X - Men , the natural power of Magneto more than makes up for their shortcomings . Able to acquire complete telekinetic control of any metallic object , Magneto ’s force are shockingly versatile , able-bodied to utilise the litany of metal physical object in urban environments as weapon system , shields , and pecker , attain him an incredibly intimidating opponent . Even getting near Magneto is a difficult task , and his ability to fly by levitating his own metal costume make him no sitting duck’s egg .
Magneto is even tolerant to psychic assaults thanks to his signature helmet , cave in to him as a natural endowment from Charles Xavier himself . Amazingly , the detail ofMagneto ’s helmet blocking telepathy was a motion picture instauration , positively impactingX - Menlore everlastingly . With all that being aver , Magneto is still ultimately reliant on being able to find magnetic objects to attune to , leaving him as powerless as an average human when put in an surroundings devoid of metal materials .
2Storm
One of the X-Men’s biggest aces in the hole
wear with an innate command over the forces of nature themselves , it ’s no wonder that Storm was worshiped as a goddess in the comedian . Bryan Singer’sX - Menmade no crusade to hold in Storm ’s strength , clearly demonstrating her wide range of control over the conditions through her mutant power . The most impressive part of Storm ’s powers is her ability to effect a wide expanse at once , leaving nowhere secure to hide when her eyes go snowy with elemental fad .
On the flip side , Storm is also demonstrated as being able to delicately target individuals with her ability as well , pass a lightning bolt of lightning straight to Toad with piffling effort . Her ability to fly thanks to the winds means she ’s also very unmanageable to hit , not nifty to allow scrimmage - focused mutants to get in her face easily . Unlike Magneto , Storm can also beseech her powers in nearly any environment , call for only an unfastened sky above her head . violent storm ’s only weakness is her want of genial defense , result her already ticklish nous open to telepathic attack .
1Professor X
The leader of the mutants, and for good reason
Not only is Professor X one of the most veteran sport by the scratch of Fox’sX - Menfranchise , but his staggering psychic power make him a shoo - in for the coveted spot of strongest mutant in the first picture . Paralyzed from the waist down , and an former man besides , it ’s true that Professor X acts mostly in a leadership role , sending the X - Men out on missions rather than participating in the fight directly . That does n’t mean that his powers are to be underestimate , as establish in the few scene in which he unleashes his genial weapons system .
Charles Xavier ’s psychic abilities are able-bodied to instantly take over the minds of others , as demonstrated on Sabretooth , or kindly guide them to rubber even in their most savage states , as demonstrated on Wolverine . He ’s also able to handle the tremendous tension of survey the nous of thousands of people at once with Cerebro , something Jean Grey could n’t do in the first picture without swoon from the stress . Even ifProfessor X is n’t double-dyed , his potential difference to hack into the very head of anyone who brook against him form him undeniably the strongest mutant inX - Men .
