Marvel heroes don’t always get along well, and that’s doubly so for the X-Men and lots of their fellow heroes. There are some heroes out there who the group can’t stand for numerous reasons. These ten Marvel heroes and the X-Men are oil and water, and the mutants don’t want to deal with them.
10) Professor X
Charles Xavier is the founder of the X-Men, but his relationship with the team has soured a lot in the 21st century. Professor X has changed a lot over the years, becoming more pragmatic and villainous, to the point that his former students are frankly tired of him and his manipulations. Many of the team’s members don’t trust the man that they would have at one time died for. He’s become persona non grata with them, especially anyone who follows Cyclops.
9) USAgent
USAgent replaced Steve Rogers as Captain America when he fell out with the US government. John Walker is a soldier, but unlike Rogers, he’s more conservative and never questions his orders, believing the US government is always right. He’s exactly the kind of person that the X-Men don’t like to deal with. If he was ordered to, he would go after the mutants with gusto, and there’s no member of the team that respects him or would want to work with him. He hasn’t had many dealings with the team, but none of them have been positive on any level.
8) Punisher
The Punisher is a Marvel icon, but he definitely doesn’t play well with others. Most heroes can’t really stand him at all. He’s a killer and most heroes don’t really like the to put up with his mania for punishing the wicked. The X-Men don’t have as much problem with killing as other heroes, but Punisher’s dealings with the team have never been very cordial. He usually only deals with Wolverine and the two of them have fought numerous times. The X-Men don’t really have much use for him and his fights against Wolvie have made him someone that most of them would rather smack upside the head.
7) The Avengers
The Avengers are Marvel’s most storied team, but their dealings with the X-Men have rarely been friendly. They’ve fought each other numerous times over the years, and while things are good between them right now, there is a lot of animosity still there. The Avengers are the ultimate protectors of the status quo, and they’ve often supported the people who are trying to destroy mutants. The team has saved the Earth many times over but when it comes to helping mutants, they ignore situations that they could stop. Various X-Men have been Avengers, but that doesn’t change how much they don’t like each other.
6) Namor
Namor is a former member of the X-Men, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t rub everyone the wrong way. The Atlantean mutant is known for his bad attitude with other heroes, and his time with the team saw him sassing everyone. He was appreciated for the power he brought to the group, but the way he treated his fellow teammates was enough to make them not enjoy the experience of being around him. Add in him trying to steal Emma Frost from Cyclops, because of course he did, and it made him into someone the team would rather not deal with.
