This quiz calls upon all mutants and non mutants alike. You don't need to be born with any special powers or abilities to take it - whether you're an average Joe or Jean, misfit or mutant, welcome. What we all have in common is that we love X-Men.
There's a lot that pulls us to this series, but let's face it - we mostly watch because mutants are so interesting. We like them for the supernatural feats they're capable of pulling off, but we also enjoy seeing the depth in the story that stems from them all being outliers cast away from mainstream society. It's nice when misfits get together from time to time and save the world that's condemned them.
Of course, there's been a lot of mutants introduced throughout the X-Men series, so naming all of them will be quite a challenge. You'll need more than an Adamantium bone structure to pass this quiz. You won't be needing any Adamantium at all, in fact that would be a useless thing to bring with you here - all you'll have to rely on is your knowledge of the expansive X-Men universe. If you're a true fan of this glorious story, then you should be able to name all these mutants.
Who's this mutant?
This first mutant is the grand daddy of them all, and definitely one of the most powerful. He founded the X-Men and has been the head of the team for decades. Without him, good mutants from around the world would never have banded together to fight the forces of evil. He looks like he's trying to bend your mind to join the team, so let's move on to the next question before he derails the quiz. Who is this mutant?

Just because this mutant is super furry, don't make the mistake of thinking that makes him cuddly. Take him seriously and respect his personal space, especially when he's out in the lab conducting experiments and the like. Aside from having an intellect that's vastly superior to the average human's, this mutant also happens to be super strong. He's been in the X-Men for a long while, definitely long enough for fans to know his name by instinct. What is it?

When an epic battle against the Brotherhood of Mutants seems all but lost, you'll have to pray to the gods that this S-ranked warrior will unlock her true potential and make sure the forces of good emerge victorious. Of course, you'll also have to pray that she doesn't lose control, otherwise the entire planet might crumble to its core. Her powers of the mind are strong, to say the very least. What's this classic mutant's name? You know it for sure.

If it's a sweltering hot day and the X-Men are looking for a quick refresher, this mutant might come gliding on his ice surfboard to cool things down. Let's hope he's able to manage his frosty output, otherwise our heroes might turn into ice cubes. In all cases, it's probably best for this hero to use his powers against the bad guys, since freezing them might buy the world some time from being taken over. Do you know this mutant's name?

There's only one core X-Men team member known for being able to emit an ultra powerful beam of energy from his eyes. This is a great superpower that makes him a valuable soldier in the constant battles against the Brotherhood. However, it comes with a huge drawback - unless he's wearing his protective glasses, he can never open his eyes without firing the beam. You already know that if you're a real X-Men fan, and you definitely know his name too.

Although there's another mutant officially designated as the "X-Man", this character is still the unofficial mascot of the superhero clan. He is the embodiment of pure, physical potential, both defensively and offensively. With his Adamantium corporal composition, he can slice virtually anything in front of him right in half. He can also be brought within an inch of his life and his body will simply regenerate itself. If you don't know who this mutant is, you might be in the wrong quiz.

This majestic mutant is pictured here reaching out toward the light - his true calling.

Keep in mind that, despite him being so far away, he can catch up to us real quick with his special power.

If there's an epic mutant confrontation going on, and the weather appears to be getting out of whack, you already know who the culprit is - this mutant, right here.

If after, all is well and good - if before, then we hope there's an angel out there who can stop her plummet before she approaches the ground.

You know what time it is - it's baddie time, baby. Oh yes, we've filled this quiz with heroic energy for too long now. Let's make things a little more interesting with a mutant who is truly bad to the bone - or is he? Sometimes it's hard to tell, since he doesn't unleash blind destruction like a mad tyrant. It's just that, when you see his full control over all metals in action, it's easy to think that he might destroy the world.

Let's keep this baddie train rolling. Although this mutant might not look like the strongest in the game, she'll be sure to take you right down if you make the mistake of underestimating her. Furthermore, her impressive physical capabilities aren't even part of her main power. As you probably know, this mutant can take on the exact shape of anyone she's come into contact with. Don't be fooled - she might be impersonating someone close to you right now! Who is she?

What do you think it is?
Who's this mutant?
When this mutant shows up to a battle royal, you'd better be ready for a huge mess. He's a valuable addition to his side, but his methods are anything but calculated. He prefers to take care of his opponents - regardless of their number - by charging right through them, announcing his name as often as is appropriate, and maybe a little more than that. He's an iconic figure of the franchise, one that every fan should be able to name.

Whenever this crazy mutant shows up in a volume, the very existence of humanity is instantly threatened. It's just this character's nature, as is made clear by his very essence and even his name. His powers are super broken, though the X-Men still somehow figure out how to keep him at bay. Seeing this tyrant in action only once is enough to cement his name in your memory forever. Are you a real X-Men fan, or just one of those comic book posers?

It's time for this snarling, snivelling mutant to hop into the picture for some devious fun. This mutant is just as evil as he looks, and he looks pretty grotesquely evil to us. In case you don't read comic books or haven't watched the X-Men Animated series, you might have seen this freakazoid in the very first X-Men move, spotted tongue and all. Even if you haven't, you'll need to venture a guess here. What's this evil mutant's supervillain name?
Who's this mutant?
Let's hope this mutant is looking for Wolverine and not us. We're just humble quiz makers after all, not trying to look for a fight or anything. This guy, on the other hand, loves a good fight, and there's no one he likes to duke it out with more than Mr. Wolverine. Even outside of their clashes, he's been in and out of X-Men story lines for years, so dedicated fans of the franchise should definitely recognize him. What's his name?
Who's this mutant?
This character comes from a far distant time line, where the world is chaotic if not lost entirely. He's here to help the X-Men of this reality avoid the same pitfalls experienced by his. He definitely has the talent to do so, since he's kept up with the Brotherhood of Mutants through various clashes. He's considered a prize member of X-Men teams from two different universes, which means there are at least two lanes wherein you could have learned his name.

This crazy mutant has a gun, and she's not afraid to use it. Better back off before she decides to do just that. You didn't think this quiz would be so easy all the way down, did you?

If a real nerd is what you are, then you don't even consider this character obscure at all.

Are you a serious fan or just one of those casual observers?

You'll hear the shriek of this wildly psychotic mutant as he descends from the skies. Hopefully he's not planning on swooping up any poor victims and flying away with them, otherwise you'd better hope you have some mutant powers of your own to keep him within reach. If you're even heroic enough to follow him, that is. There aren't many mutants who carry themselves quite like this one, so his name should be pretty obvious to those who pay attention.

There's a green glow coming from this talented mutant, and that probably means she's putting her powers to use. Worse yet, she has her gaze fixed right in the center of the camera lens, her irises bolted into yours, her outstretched, glowing hand reaching for you.

The gas in the air is no longer turning to plasma - thank the gods. However, it seems as though things are drying up at an alarming rate. There's a shadowy mutant in the distance, too, and she might be the source of this new development. After all, her powers have a lot to do with dryness, though we won't say more about them. We need to save our breathe anyway, since we're starting to get the pasties. What's this mutant's name?
