Characters

Reed Strucker: A mutant father trying to balance his family responsibilities with his job as a district attorney. Moyer said of the character, "He thinks he's doing the right thing by moving [the mutants]. He does know these camps aren't particularly nice. He knows a few people he's captured have disappeared. He also knows this could happen to his kids. He has no choice but to go on the run.

Caitlin Strucker: A mother and nurse struggling with her "increasingly challenging" teenage children. Showrunner Matt Nix said that though Caitlin does not have mutant powers, she is not "just a mom" or "just the doctor" in the series, and "over the course of the show I really love the idea of showing the evolution of a suburban mom into an underground warrior.

Marcos Diaz / Eclipse: A rebellious mutant who can absorb and manipulate photons.Eclipse was rejected by his human parents, and grew up smuggling drugs from Mexico to the United States. The mutant underground uses him to smuggle mutants to safety in Mexico. The character was created for the series, but has had his powers compared to Sunspot and his personality to Wolverine and Scott Summers.

Lauren Strucker: One of the series' central children, a "perfect" kid.Her mutant power is creating force fields.

Andy Strucker: One of the series' central children, a sensitive loner who keeps to himself. His mutant power is a form of telekinesis, being able to move and destroy things with his mind.

John Proudstar / Thunderbird: A strong-willed mutant possessing superhuman strength, durability, enhanced healing and superhuman senses, leader of the underground community.Nix said the character is "dealing with his own issues of feeling the weight of thousands of years of Apache history and mutant history and an obligation to both families."

Fade is a mutant bartender with the ability to make anyone, including himself, invisible .

Shatter is a mutant who can turn his skin into a hard, protective crystal.

Roderick Campbell is a mutant researcher contracted by Sentinel Services, who is on a "morally dubious" mission .In September 2017, Dillahunt joined the series in the "key recurring role" of Campbell. Nix compared the series' adaptation of the comic character to the changes made when adapting the character William Stryker for the X-Men films.

Mark /Bulk is a mutant with superhuman strength. He was a member of the mutant underground before switching allegiances and joining the Hellfire Club following the destruction of the mutant underground headquarters

Officer Ted Wilson is a police officer at the Metropolitan Police Department and the leader of a Purifiers cell in Washington, D.C. He later recruits Jace into the Purifiers.

Twist was a mutant that was a mental patient before the Inner Circle liberated her in order to utilize her gifts in their overall plans. She had gone on to develop a kinship and bond with Andy Strucker until he unintentionally killed her during her attempt to massacre the Inner Circle .

Wes : A mutant who can create illusions, whom Lauren grows close to.

Naya : A young mutant living with the underground that can control water.

Andreas and Andrea von Strucker :Ancestors of Lauren and Andy with the same mutant abilities. Nix stated that giving the series' main characters the surname "Strucker", a name given to notable characters from the comics, was an intentional decision,leading to speculation that Lauren and Andy were an adaptation of the Strucker twins. After the series included an Easter egg referring to characters that matched the comics description of the twins, Lind indicated that those characters could appear themselves.In November 2017, the characters were officially confirmed to be appearing in the show, with Cooper and Mehner cast as Andreas and Andrea, respectively

Clarice Fong / Blink: A "sarcastic, lively" mutant with teleportation powers.An "independently minded" member of the mutant underground, Blink begins the series using her abilities as "a way out of situations she doesn't want to be in", but her abilities and relationship to them evolve throughout the series. Chung wears heavy-duty contact lenses to portray Blink's mutant green eyes, and also has pink markings on her face.

Lorna Dane / Polaris: A brave and loyal mutant whose abilities include controlling magnetism. She is introduced as being "unstable" due to bipolar disorder. Nix explained that, within the series, there is "some awareness" that Polaris is the daughter of Magneto, leading to the question "does she accept the mantle of her birthright? Is it her job to be Magneto in his absence?" The character is depicted with green hair, as she is in the comics, but "subdued shades of green".

Jace Turner: A man struggling with the cold-blooded requirements of his job. Turner is a Sentinel Services agent, trying to find the Struckers and the other mutants. Nix said the character is "more than just a villain hoping to round up every last superpowered human," but is instead trying to balance protecting society with taking away the rights of mutants.

The Frost Sisters: Esme, Sophie, and Phoebe Frost are telepathic triplets with their own agenda, separate from those of the mutant underground, Sentinel Services, and Trask Industries. The effect of the three characters together was created with a mixture of effects: split-screening, green-screening, and face replacements over doubles when Samuels worked with two other actresses portraying the other sisters.

Reeva Payge: Leader of the "Inner Circle" with an elite band of followers who is introduced in the second season. She possesses destructive sonic powers.

Sage is a mutant with eidetic memory, and a "computer brain" that can do complex calculations.The character is portrayed as a "creature of logic" in the series, and is often shown working with computers. She decides to leave the mutant underground to join the Hellfire Club in the first season finale, which Nix felt was her logical side overcoming any personal feelings that she has to assess the situation and align with the side more likely to survive.
