The series ''[[X-Men: Evolution]]'' featured a diverse cast of complicated characters. A common staple of the series was whether a particular person had chosen their allegiances correctly, with several instances of a character switching teams.

==X-Men==
===Teachers===
*'''[[Professor X|Professor Charles Xavier]]''' (voiced by [[David Kaye (voice actor)|David Kaye]]) is the team's telepathic mentor and financier. In the series finale, he temporarily becomes Death, one of the [[Horsemen of Apocalypse]], and is given glimpses of the future.

*'''[[Wolverine (character)|Logan / Wolverine]]''' (voiced by [[Scott McNeil]]) is a combat trainer for the X-Men who possesses superhuman strength and [[adamantium]] claws. Though similar in most ways to the classic Wolverine, he is depicted as less violent and is designed to be more of a role model for the students.

*'''[[Storm (Marvel Comics)|Ororo Munroe / Storm]]''' (voiced by [[Kirsten Williamson]]), as her codename implies, is able to harness and manipulate weather. Ororo is known for her calm personality and regal manner, and she was even worshipped as a goddess in Africa due to her ability to summon the rains. In the comics, Ororo is an only child and an orphan; in ''Evolution'', she has a sister named Vivian and a nephew, [[Spyke]]. In the series finale, she temporarily becomes Famine, one of the Horsemen of Apocalypse.

*'''[[Beast (Marvel Comics)|Hank McCoy / Beast]]''' (voiced by [[Michael Kopsa]]) joins during the second season. Beast is similar to his comic counterpart in most ways, though the ''Evolution'' version speaks more casually. He was originally a gym coach and chemistry teacher at Bayville High before joining the X-Men after the medicine he created to suppress his mutation stopped working.

===Students===
*'''[[Cyclops (Marvel Comics)|Scott Summers / Cyclops]]''' (voiced by [[Kirby Morrow]]) is a leading member of the X-Men who can generate lasers from his eyes. However, he is unable to control his powers and must wear a ruby visor to prevent them from constantly activating. Contrasting with many other incarnations, Cyclops is not the aloof, doubtful loner, but a handsome and confident leader who exudes natural authority, although he is still somewhat standoffish. While the other students tend to look up to him, his competitive nature and temper get in the way at times.
*'''[[Jean Grey]]''' (voiced by [[Venus Terzo]]) is the second-in-command of the X-Men, with her and Cyclops teaching younger students at the Xavier Institute. She possesses telepathy and telekinesis that enables her to generate force fields.
*'''[[Nightcrawler (character)|Kurt Wagner / Nightcrawler]]''' (voiced by [[Brad Swaile]]) is a demon-like mutant who can teleport by traveling through another dimension. He is the biological son of Mystique, but was raised by foster parents in Germany. For much of the show, Nightcrawler uses a holographic image inducer to hide his appearance.
*'''[[Kitty Pryde|Kitty Pryde / Shadowcat]]''' (voiced by [[Maggie Blue O'Hara]]) is a member of the X-Men who can become intangible. Throughout the series, she enters a relationship with Avalanche and develops a sibling-like friendship with Nightcrawler.
*'''[[Rogue (Marvel Comics)|Rogue]]''' (voiced by Meghan Black) is the adoptive daughter of Mystique, who was raised by [[Destiny (Irene Adler)|Irene Adler]] in [[Mississippi]]. She possesses the ability to drain the abilities of others, but cannot control her powers and wears gloves to block them.<ref name="Fifty Five">{{cite web |title=Beyond Evolution: X-Men Evolution |url=http://x-men.toonzone.net/qagreg1.php |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040302094758/http://x-men.toonzone.net/qagreg1.php |archive-date=March 2, 2004 |access-date=November 28, 2006}}</ref> In a flash-forward depicted in the series finale, Rogue enters a relationship with Gambit and stops wearing gloves.
*'''[[Spyke|Evan Daniels / Spyke]]''' (voiced by [[Neil Denis]]) is a series-original character and Storm's nephew, with the ability to project sharp bonelike spikes from his skin.<ref name="Fifty Five"/> In the third and fourth seasons, Spyke loses control of his powers after accidentally drinking a [[sports drink]] called Power-8 that is poisonous to mutants, permanently manifests an indestructible [[exoskeleton]] across his body, and joins the [[Morlocks (comics)|Morlocks]] which are an outcast group of Mutants hiding from persecution. Spyke has been compared to [[Marrow (character)|Marrow]] due to their similar powers and ties to the Morlocks, but the creators have stated that they were unaware of Marrow during the series' production.<ref name="Fifty Five"/>

===New Mutants===
As a whole, the [[New Mutants]] did not have a significant role in the series. They were added in the second season of the show to make the Xavier Institute seem more populated by having several students in the background, and primarily have supporting roles.
*'''[[Iceman (Marvel Comics)|Bobby Drake / Iceman]]''' (voiced by [[Andrew Francis]]), the most outgoing of the new recruits, later becomes a standby X-Man to take the place of Spyke. He can manipulate temperature, enabling him to generate and transform into ice.

In the third season, Jubilee leaves the Xavier Institute because her parents believe it is unsafe for her and defects to the Brotherhood. She eventually returns to the X-Men in season three.
*'''[[Magma (character)|Amara Aquilla / Magma]]''' (voiced by [[Alexandra Carter]]) is a member of the New Mutants who can manipulate the earth and emit heat. She has a somewhat haughty, "royal" attitude at times, and is easily discouraged when she does not live up to her own expectations. Furthermore, Magma has a physiological connection with the earth and becomes ill when separated from it for long periods of time.
*'''[[Jamie Madrox|Jamie Madrox / Multiple]]''' (voiced by David A. Kaye) is a member of the New Mutants who can duplicate himself. He has a hard time controlling his powers and is the subject of a running gag where he duplicates after being injured.

*'''[[Toad (Marvel Comics)|Todd Tolansky / Toad]]''' (voiced by [[Noel Fisher]]) is a member of the Brotherhood who possesses frog-like abilities and speaks in a stereotypical [[New York accent]] who often serves as comic relief.

In season two, he develops a  crush on Scarlet Witch who often rebuffs his romantic advances.
*'''[[Avalanche (character)|Lance Alvers / Avalanche]]''' (voiced by Christopher Grey) is the Brotherhood's field leader, who can generate [[seismic waves]] from his hands. He is often irrational and driven by his temper, but as the series progresses, he becomes more mature and pragmatic, taking on a morally ambiguous role.
