Exiles and New Exiles were comic book series which featured an ensemble cast of Marvel Comics characters. Exiles vol. 1 featured the fictional teams of the eponymous Exiles and rival Weapon X, both of which had a revolving cast, most often rotating under the plot device of character death. The characters were either previous established or new re-imagings of established characters.
The character is from Age of Apocalypse-universe. She is shown to possess the Tallus, and is team leader. The characters notably in the series is sent "home";[1] returns to the team after the death of Sunfire. She then leads the second team of Exiles and is recruited again by Nick Fury to lead the third team.
The alternate-reality daughter of the Scarlet Witch and Nightcrawler. Becomes pregnant by Thunderbird but miscarries after his injury; ends up being swapped for Beak and spends time on Earth-616. Rejoins the team in Exiles vol. 2 #6 after Blink goes to lead a third team.
Only long-standing member; was offered to be sent home once but declines, saying he needs the team and cannot abandon them or the Earths in peril. Becomes possessed by Proteus, but continues as a member of the team.
From a reality where he is made into War of the Horsemen of Apocalypse; ended up brain-dead in Exiles #10. He still remains in the stasis, dreaming, until he awakes[2] and rejoins the team.[3] He later leaves to be with Nocturne. He was last heard of as still residing on Heather Hudson's Earth.
Introduced in Exiles vol. 1 #1. The character hails from a seeming paradise for superheroes, where he is a premiere hero. Mimic is shown to wear the Tallus and briefly leads the team. Dies after being consumed by Proteus.
Magnus
Magnus Lehnsherr
Exiles #1
The alternate-reality son of Rogue and Magneto. Anyone he touches skin-to-skin is lethally turned into solid steel. Dies in Exiles #2 containing a nuclear explosion in a reality where Magneto was good and Xavier was evil; replaced by Sunfire. He is sent home[4] with a note explaining his story; until then, his parents had thought he had run away.
Replaces Magnus after he sacrifices himself; revealed to be a lesbian; died from a collapsing building when Mimic went on a rampage while being possessed by a Queen Brood egg.[5] Her ashes are taken back to Legacy World[6] where she had a relationship with Mary-Jane Watson (that reality's Spider-Woman) during a mission detour.[7]
Replaces Thunderbird after he is rendered brain-dead. She is a super-humanly strong beast, possessed by Tanaraq after she is gravely injured;[8] Tanaraq is purged from her body, leaving her powerless.[9] Is replaced by Sabretooth. Served as the teams' coordinator in the Panoptichron until she believed the entire Exiles team died. She gets very drunk and returns to her home planet, where she becomes pregnant by her husband. Rejoined the Exiles in Exiles vol. 2 #6, no longer pregnant.
Trades places with Nocturne; only to be replaced by Holocaust. He is recruited to the team to save the multiverse from Hyperion, which he successfully does by making friends.[12] After he does so, he is allowed to return home, where he is immediately depowered during the Decimation.[13]
Originating from the Age of Apocalypse, Sabertooth is seen a Blink's father figure. He is initially placed on the team to distract Blink from leaving. He wears the Tallus during the end of the first series, assuming the role of leader following the end of the first series[14] Sabretooth later returns home and dies trying to save the rest of his team, the "X-Terminated", during the "X-Termination" event.[15]
Also from the Age of Apocalypse reality as Sabretooth and Blink; he is introduced as a replacement for Beak, as well as to serve as a distraction to the team by Hyperion. Killed by Hyperion.[16]
As part of a bargain Heather Hudson made with Mojo which allowed the semi-memory wiped Longshot to join the team in exchange for Mojo to have the ability to view more dimensions in the Multiverse than he had access to previously and receive video feed of the Exiles to turn into a "reality show". Longshot left the team to try and resume his life with Dazzler.[17]
From the 2099 approximation. Joined when Proteus, in the body of Hulk 2099, publicly unmasked him, ruining his life in his home universe. With the desire to help the Exiles track down and catch the villain who did this to him, Spider-Man was the first member to join the team voluntarily.[19] Spider-Man later revisited his home reality, making sure his family was safe after his identity was exposed. Later quit the Exiles after settling on Earth-6375 with a Mary Jane Watson. Killed during the Spider-Verse event by Morlun.[20]
From Squadron Supreme. Joined in Hyperion's place to help the Exiles catch Proteus and a Squadron appointed liaison to watch the Exiles.[21] Quit the team to return to the Squadron Supreme.[22]
From the visit to House of M, Proteus has been the first enemy the Exiles had to hunt through realities and their second antagonist. He was successful in attempting to possess Morph, but was brainwashed by Blink (with help from a device from the Squadron Supreme). As a result, Proteus only has access to Kevin Sydney's memories, therefore believing that he is, in fact, the real Morph. He later merged with Morph,[23] but the two are later split when Panoptichron absorbs the new Exiles.[24]
From New Excalibur. Powers and abilities include: telekinesis, a mastery of ninjutsu, and an immunity to telepathy, reality alterations, and spells. Eventually, she rejoined the X-Men.
Somehow appeared in the Panoptichron at the end of Exiles #96, joined with Thunderbird in #98. Keeps shifting from one alternate Kitty Pryde shape to another. She was selected (or even perhaps created) by the Panoptichron to direct it, but refused. Died while killing Madame Hydra.[25]
A male version of Mystique who had a child with Destiny (though both the child and her died). Was saved by Sabretooth when he was attacked by soldiers at his lover's grave. Joined the team when they went to pick him up again. Was absorbed by Panoptichron.[24]
An apparent criminal who lived in Japan. Was saved from the Avengers by Morph and tagged along when the team went to get him. She has the powers of flight, super-strength and disintegrating matter through her hands. She apparently can call any power she has absorbed during her life. Quit the team to stay with a lover from an alternate reality the Exiles visited.[26]
New resident of the Panoptichron and liaison of the team to it. Now merged with the Panoptichron itself, replacing the "Cockrums". She eventually left the team and turned up on another alternate Earth.[27]
Son of a Sue Storm and a black Namor. Joined the Exiles willingly. Quit the team to succeed as the king of his world after his father's death.[26] Was later absorbed by Panoptichron.[24]
Met the Exiles in her reality and then created a device to hop from realities to realities. In one of those, she called the Exiles for help, in order to save the world for villains known as the Fearsome Quintet and wanted to join them, but they refused as they were hunting Empress Hydra, her mother, and did not want her involved. Later reaches the Panoptichron by herself and joins the team.[26] Was later absorbed by Panoptichron.[24]
Weapon X, Wolverines, Quentin Quire, and other teams
Weapon X was an alternate, more violent team recruited by the Timebroker to deal with more gruesome missions. After the Timebreakers fired the original Exiles Team, they gathered multiple squads consisting solely of alternate versions of Wolverine. The last Wolverine squad was formed in Exiles #85 and consisted the members listed below. Another team led by Quentin Quire was created by Blink to fix a world where heroes had died but this time was left in one dimension and was never meant to travel through other. Finally, several teams were shown in Exiles (vol 3) #6 but responded to other Timebrokers.
First appeared in Exiles #5. Was first "killed" by Sabretooth who snapped his neck in Exiles #13. He was killed in the Crystal Palace by She-Hulk in Exiles #68.
First appeared as a Weapon X-er inExiles #5. Stayed behind on a world ruled by Sentinels in Exiles #13; he is from the same reality as Blink; former leader of Weapon X. Joined the Exiles in Exiles #59.
First seen in # 62. He was killed off panel before Exiles #5 and confirmed dead in Exiles #68. He was not immediately replaced but after some mission by the second wave of recruits (Hulk I, Storm, and Daredevil).

First seen in # 62. Killed off panel before Exiles #5 when he was impaled by a razor-pointed throwing shield from Captain America. He was not immediately replaced but after some mission by the second wave of recruits (Hulk I, Storm, and Daredevil). He was Nick Fury's best agent.
First appeared in Exiles #12. Was pulled in the Negative Zone in Exiles #24 but was actually in stasis in the Panoptichron; sided with the Exiles during the battle with Deadpool, killed him.[28]
Replaced Deadpool. Was sent to the Crystal Palace and replaced off-panel. He was in stasis in the Panoptichron's Crystal Palace showing stable life-signs.
First appeared in Exiles #23. He replaced Sabretooth as the team leader and wore the Tallus. Sacrificed himself to kill Hyperion with Magik's sword charged with kinetic energy in Exiles #45.
Replaced Storm. Questioned the Timebroker's motive and decided to rule Earths instead of fulfilling the team's missions. Was first "killed" by Gambit and the Exiles in Exiles #45; ended up in the Crystal Palace where he escaped and started playing with the Exiles including replacing Heather by Sabretooth and Beak with Holocaust; was sent back to his reality where Earth was devastated by the nuclear war in Exiles #63 by alternate versions of himself, one of which was from the Squadron Supreme.
Not the same Zombie Wolverine who first appeared in Ultimate Fantastic Four #22-23 and Marvel Zombies #1-5. The original Marvel Zombies version became a member of The Galactus as of Marvel Zombies #5. Killed when Elsie-Dee's internal bomb went off.
He has just discovered his powers and thus has assumed neither Logan's nor Wolverine's identity. The only Wolverine Exile to return home alive from the team introduced in Exiles #85.
Snatched by the Timebroker moments before his apparent demise at the hand of the Sentinels. He, Marvel Girl III, and Kate Pryde are the only known survivors from the X-Men in this timeline. Killed by an energy blast as he nearly killed Brother Mutant, his death echoes the one featured in his own timeline (although a Sentinel, not another mutant, killed him in that timeline). He was subsequently resurrected by X-51 of the Earth X universe.
Others
Exiles #85-86
43 other Wolverine versions were to be seen on issue #86 cover, a Hulk, a clown, and a Thing version were featured in the comics and at least three were on the Panoptichron's screen at the end of #86. 27 of them died, according to Heather Hudson (including 6 of the 7 main). Other versions included female Wolverines, Brother Xavier, and a Deadpool-like version.
The mission of these Wolverine Teams was to eliminate the Brother Mutant, but Brother Mutant captured and hypnotized them. Finally, the last Wolverine team manages to kill the Brother Mutant, with the help of the first Exiles team. In the end, seventeen Wolverines perished during the fight. James Howlett was the only member sent home.
Took Morph away from the rubble after his fight with Weapon X's Ms. Marvel and was inspired by the Exiles to become a hero. Was later recruited by Quentin Quire in order to replace another Earth's Nighthawk who should not have died.
Sabretooth's "dog". Driven mad by the loss of his master, he was saved by Quentin and sent to replace another Earth's self who should not have died. Eventually, both Sabretooth and Wild Child return home to the Age of Apocalypse and are reunited; however, Wild Child dies while helping Earth-616's X-Force take on a corrupt Archangel.[29]
Their mission was to save Quentin's world by replacing heroes who had died.
In Exiles there has been a number of other characters including special heroes and villains; some of them are even significant in more than one reality and/or story.
The apparent founder of the Exiles, supposedly a construct of the Exiles and Weapon X'ers collective subconsciousness, later revealed to be an interface created by the Timebreakers to lure conscripts into cooperating. The Timebroker interface is now used for communication when the Tallus can not be used. It has been seen in four forms: a butler for the Exiles, a lady for Weapon X and Icon, a mini-Heather for when she was in charge, a Wolverine-look-alike butler for the Wolverines and an ever-changing Morph for the second Exiles team.
Ruler of Mojoworld. Managed to make the Exiles come to his world and tortured Nocturne to get Morph to star in a show. Later made a deal with Heather to give her Longshot while he got access to the Panoptichron's data and as such could broadcast any reality.
Spider Woman
Exiles #23
Sunfire's lover from the Earth that had been infected by the Vi-Locks. It was to her Earth that Nocturne and Sunfire were sent when the Vampire King disrupted their teleport in Exiles #32 and #34. Considered Sunfire's true love, it's on her Earth that Morph had her buried.
A race of insectoid aliens. They recruited both the Exiles and Weapon X teams. They have a hive-like societal structure. They used to maintain the systems in the Crystal Palace.
From Squadron Supreme. Battled Hyperion from Weapon X in Exiles #65 and asked Beak to keep an eye on the Exiles. Proteus took advantage of it to slow the Exiles down in Exiles #76-78 and he almost joined the team, but Power Princess stepped in instead.
Did not go to Tibet and thus did not have any powers, but in turn was the best doctor of the Multiverse. Helped heal Morph and Mimic after the second fight against Hyperion. He was killed by Deadpool, who tried to escape from the Panoptichron.
Madame Hydra's new lover, killed by Cat in New Exiles #12.
The elderly pair
