The X-Men are an interesting superhero team. While teams like The Avengers and Fantastic Four were set up to battle threats to the world or city, that is not what the X-Men are all about. Instead, X-Men is a team that represents prejudice and racism in the world, and their battles are always much more personal.
Throughout their history, the X-Men have battled evil mutants, evil aliens, and evil government agencies who want to control and eliminate them from existence. With the entire world seemingly out to destroy them, the X-Men finally found a home in Krakoa, but there are still evil beings out there who want them dead.
10 Sabretooth
As the X-Men have finally found peace in Krakoa, there is one mutant who is not allowed to share that peace with the rest of the mutants. There are some rules that mutants are not allowed to break, and one of those is that it is illegal to kill humans.
Sabretooth refused to follow the rules, and he murdered someone after Krakoa became a sovereign cournty. As a result, the mutants banished Sabretooth because he refused to be anything but an evil monster.
9 William Stryker
William Stryker was one of the main antagonists in the X-Men movie world, both in the original trilogy and in the prequels. He was no better in the comic books.
Stryker was the evil villain in the "God Loves, Man Kills" storyline. Stryker became an evangelist in the comics and preached against the existence of mutants. He led more people to rise against the mutants in hatred with the goal of exterminating all mutants.
8 The Hellfire Club
The Hellfire Club was a long-standing social club for only the wealthy and powerful. For years, it was ruled secretly by mutants, while there were also members who hated mutants and had no idea they were manipulated by those they hate.
The group was pure evil, and it was the Hellfire Club that messed with Jean Grey's mind and caused the Dark Phoenix to emerge. Even in today's peaceful times, Sebastian Shaw recently murdered Kate Pryde, proving some evil never dies.
7 Apocalypse
One fascinating point about the recent era in Krakoa was that Apocalypse was able to not only play the role of a hero, but he was able to find redemption in the recent X of Swords event.
With that said, there is no hiding his past and how evil he truly was. To see his true evil, look at the Age of Apocalypse, where he achieved his goals — pure destruction and domination.
6 Shadow King
While most mutants in Krakoa live the straight-and-narrow, The Shadow King seems to have ulterior motives. They appear evil, as he is manipulating the children of Krakoa and the young mutants the New Mutants are training on the island.
This is Shadow King's mode of operation anyway, as he has manipulated mutants since the beginning of time to achieve his nefarious goals. He turned a young Storm into a thief, turned Rogue into the Shadow Queen, worked with Nazis in World War II, and wrecked the X-Men in the Muir Island Saga.
5 Mr. Sinister
Mister Sinister has always been an evil threat to the X-Men world, and even though he holds a position of power in Krakoa, he has proven he is not trustworthy there.
His original sins were against Cyclops, as he manipulated Scott since he was an orphaned child. He created a clone in Madelyne Pryor after Jean Grey died and led her to Scott, where they had a son in Cable. In more recent times, he leads the Marauders and has had them all killed and resurrected with no memories of it.
4 Stryfe
Stryfe is the clone of Cable and showed up in the pages of X-Factor as their first major villain. Mother Askani created Stryfe just in case Cable died of the Techo-Organic Virus.
Apocalypse arrived and took the clone and trained him, turning him into a weapon. When Apocalypse later tried to send his mind into Stryfe's body to take it over, Stryfe fought back and escaped. Stryfe felt betrayed and discarded by everyone and sought revenge against all mutants with no limits.
3 Onslaught
Onslaught was not a real being until Professor Charles Xavier made the mistake of shutting down the mind of Magneto. This happened after Magneto ripped out Wolverine's adamantium skeleton, and Professor X felt his nemesis was beyond redemption.
The minds of Professor X and Magneto merged to create the new Onslaught. The Avengers and Fantastic Four had to sacrifice their lives to beat Onslaught, and this completely changed the world, creating the Heroes Reborn era.
2 Bastion
Bastion was born after the Sentinel prototype Nimrod fought the X-Men and fell, which led to Bastion arriving as a human/sentinel hybrid who grew up and joined anti-mutant groups, including that of Graydon Creed's Friends of Humanity.
Bastien then started the Operation: Zero Tolerance anti-mutant strike force. He then created the Prime Sentinels and took control of the Xavier Institute.
1 Cassandra Nova
Cassandra Nova was a bizarre X-Men villain. She was the twin sister of Professor Charles Xavier, but her brother murdered her in self-defense in the womb before they were born.
Despite Cassandra dying before she was born and doctors called her stillborn, her mass of cells continued to grow into a human body. She returned for revenge, and it was Cassandra Nova sending Sentinels to Genosha, killing over 16 million mutants.
