* DarkMessiah: The Bard is a mutant supervillain and self-proclaimed "mutant messiah" who preaches a creed of mutant supremacy: their powers make them superior to ordinary humans and akin to gods, therefore they should tear down human society and take over the world. This rhetoric makes him extremely popular with the more violent and disenfranchised mutants who don't believe that peaceful coexistence with humans is possible.

* SuperSupremacist: ''Mutant Underground'' lists this trope as a possible motive/ideology for mutant supervillains. The Bard, for example, believes that mutants like himself deserve to rule over the powerless masses of humanity and be worshipped like gods.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: ''Mutant Underground'' states that many of the lab-grown genetic mutants look far older than they truly are. A mutant who appears to be a grown man might only be two years old, if that.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: ''Mutant Underground'' states that many of the lab-grown genetic mutants look far older than they truly are. A mutant who appears to be a grown man might only be two years old, if that. The same sourcebook downplays this trope with Old Beth, a natural-born mutant who's pushing 100 but doesn't look a day over 60.

* TheCowl: Warhawk is a nocturnal superhero who keeps the streets of his territory safe by terrorizing and beating up criminals and anti-mutant bigots. Criminals in the region fearfully dub him the Demon of the Night and attribute all sorts of powers to him that he does not actually possess. While he isn't a typical NonPoweredCostumedHero, he primarily FightsLikeANormal and has a Batman-esque arsenal of gadgets.

* TheMole: Rampage is a freelance bodyguard who often works for various anti-mutant groups, protecting their personnel from attacks by the Mutant Underground. What his various employers don't know is that Rampage is a former member of the Underground, and still loyal to their cause. He uses his position to gather intel on his current employer's illegal anti-mutant activities, which he then covertly passes along to the Underground.

* BackAlleyDoctor: The alien superhero Skyscraper is a skilled doctor who provides medical aid to homeless humans and mutant refugees in his spare time.


Added DiffLines:

* OddCouple: ''Mutant Underground'' gives us the duo of Kenny and Ossie. The former is a deeply cynical mutant goose who ran away from his abusive creators, while the latter is a cheerful and optimistic mutant horse who was treated nicely by his creators and is still on good terms with them. The two are best friends despite their drastically different personalities and circumstances.

* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: Subverted with Agents T-Luv and DC of the MTF, who developed psionic powers after getting caught up in a lab explosion. They believe that the near-death experience was the trigger for their latent powers awakening, but it's strongly implied that the real cause was the [[MutagenicGoo mutagenic chemicals]] which got all over them.

Added DiffLines:

* MotiveDecay: The Lost Company started out as a team of bounty hunters who exclusively targeted supervillains. The fact that they now accept bounties on superbeings of all stripes, and count more than a few supervillains among their current and former members, shows how much the group has deviated from its initial mission.

Added DiffLines:

* AlienInvasion: Amador of the Lost Company presents himself as a mutant escapee from a foreign nation, but he's really an alien scout who came to Earth in search of planets for his people to conquer and colonize. He has yet to report back to his superiors both because his ship needs repairs and because he likes it here, but he's effectively one bad day away from getting off his lazy butt and summoning the invasion fleet.


Added DiffLines:

* ChallengeSeeker: Savage, the current leader of the Lost Company, loves pitting himself against superhumans who can challenge his skills. The tougher the fight they can give him, the better.


Added DiffLines:

* TheStarscream: Hunt is the second-in-command of the Lost Company and aspires to usurp Savage's place as the team's leader. Savage allows this because he's a consummate ChallengeSeeker, and Hunt's frequent attempts to seize leadership keep him on his toes.


Added DiffLines:

* ThreateningShark: Lone Shark is a mutant supervillain with the power to transform into a wereshark. In either form, he's a bloodthirsty psychopath and cannibal who takes whatever jobs will let him indulge his thirst for murder and mayhem.
