Teachers

• Logan / Wolverine 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.
• Ororo Munroe / Storm, 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.

  Students

• Scott Summers / Cyclops 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.
