Juggernaut


Juggernaut, or Cain Marko, is literally the red-headed step-brother of Professor Charles Xavier, founder of the X-Men. Due to a magic gem he found while he and Xavier were serving in Korea he became the magical Avatar of the demon-lord Cytorrak, an unstoppable* 'juggernaut' with incredible strength and invulnerability. He wears a magic helmet that keeps out psychic powers; it's meant to be unbreakable, but literally every fight he has with the X-Men ends with the helmet breaking and one of their fifty telepaths frying his brain.

(*Character may be unstoppable in name only, and may in fact be frequently stopped by the likes of Spider-Man.)

Invisible Woman - Negative Zone


The Invisible Woman, and the rest of the Fantastic Four, had an adventure in the Negative Zone and returned to find the colours in their costumes had been inverted. Because of SCIENCE! Also, she had short hair.

This is a re-colouring of The Invisible Woman's classic costume.

Danger


Danger was once the holographic training room of the X-Men, who gained sentience, tried to murder them all, and then eventually joined the team. That's actually a way more common pattern than you might think. Apart from being a robot Danger can project holograms, shift her form, and come up with all sorts of deadly weaponry.

Jubilee


Jubilee - Mutant firecracker, Wolverine side-kick, mall-rat... vampire! She was one of the best things about the X-Men in the 90's, and also one of the best things about the 90's X-Men cartoon. Even one of the best things about X-Men: Apocalypse, despite barely being in it! She can throw plasma 'firecrackers' or mini-explosions of bright light and can wear a yellow (plastic I'm guessing!) trench coat like nobody's business.

Polaris - Uncanny X-Men


Polaris is Magneto's only daughter. Take that not-even-a-mutant-anymore Scarlet Witch! She inherited her father's power of magnetism, and more than a little bit of crazy. Either the most capable member of a team or a borderline lunatic, depending on the writer, she's also had a lot of really wacky costumes. Like this somehow amazing purple mash-up she wore when rejoining the X-Men.
