Team Structure

X-Men Gold, X-Men Blue and X-Men Black

Formerly, the X-Men were organized into three sub-teams, each with a Field Leader and secondary leader, informally referred to as the "CO" and "XO". These leadership teams (Cyclops/Cannonball, Storm/Nightcrawler, and Dazzler/Jetstream) usually selected the appropriate team members for a mission depending on mission parameters.

With the departure of Dazzler and Jetstream, as well as several other active X-Men, the concept of separate X-Men teams has been abandoned.

Trainees

The training regimen to join the X-Men involves studying past missions, individual powers work, as well as a training program designed to test not only a potential X-Man's capability to use their powers effectively, but also their judgement and discipline. All trainees must be at least sixteen years old and have parental/guardian permission to train. After successfully completing training to the satisfaction of the team leaders and reaching the age of eighteen, a trainee can be moved onto the full team roster.

As trainees, potential X-Men are often given a code name of a humorous nature, as part of a good-natured "hazing" from their seniors. Trainee code names are designed to acclimate trainees to the idea that as X-Men, they are expected to put their personal agendas aside and operate as a team.

Current trainees: Soundwave, Tinky Winky, Skin
