The X-Men's enemies

[wildojinx]

Have the X-Men ever fought any villains that ARENT evil mutants? I know theyve had their conflicts against aliens, but have they ever fought non-mutant villains like the shocker or the frightful four or even the masters of evil? It would be a nice change of pace as opposed to just taking on mutant foes or evil government guys.

Juggernaut is not a mutant, so yeah. Arcade as well. The Purifiers are humans. Sentinels.

Actually a ton of their enemies are not mutants.

[Fiddleford H. McGucket]

Reverend Stryker was neither a mutant nor Government If I recall

[SHAKEMASTER TV9 is Don Knotts]

Count Nefaria
Krakoa is a living island.
D'Ken, Deathbird are aliens. So are the Brood.
Mojo

Mister Sinister isn't a mutant. His powers were given to him by Apocalypse and he further augmented his powers using SCIENCE!

Also Arcade is human and Mephisto is well... the devil and they've both screwed around with the X-Men plenty of times.

A witch masquerading as Satan who wanted to punish Nightcrawler for accidentaly killing her son and banishing him to a Hell as written by Dante.

70's storylines were weird...

[Citizen Snips]

Didn't they take on Loki back in the 80's?

The Sentinels were giant robots. Created by a mutant hating human (Bolivar Trask). Mastermold was the Super-Sentinel, who ended up (in its mind) becoming a "mutant" when he merged with Nimrod, a future Sentinel.

(Fun fact: Trask's son Lawrence, who later attacked the X-Men with Sentinels, was actually a mutant - he wore a weird medallion, which was revealed to be a tool used to mask his true nature from the Sentinels. Let's just say the medallion was destroyed in his 1st or 2nd appearance, and....well, that was that.)

Stephen Lang (human) eventually took over the Sentinel program; he was later absorbed into the Phalanx.

I believe Donald Pierce (a Hellfire Club member) and his Reavers gang were cyber-enhanced humans.

And Cameron Hodge and the Right (another human anti-mutant hate group) were human - Hodge eventually made a deal with a demon to get immortality, had his head cut off which was grafted onto a cyborg body, and then later was assimilated into the Phalanx.

They also became increasingly more involved in the Infinity crossovers. Cyclops and Wolverine fought against Thanos and most of the team being involved in fighting the Magus and Goddess.

Good. I was coming in to say Cameron Hodge, and someone beat me to it.

(Fun Fact: Cameron was actually on X-Factors staff until a freak accident by Archangel left him paralyzed)

Can we count Senator Kelly?

Also, the newest version of the Hellfire Club (a bunch of sadistic children) are non-mutants.

[Mozenrath]

Nimrod's a robot, right?

[Deleted]

Is continuity a mutant?

[Talent Name]

Ahab wasn't a mutant either

[ICBM]

Sublime was a bacteria...I know. I know just had to mention it.

a female pope who wanted to make Nightcrawler the pope and then reveal him as a demon and kill everyone using exploding communion wafers.

Chuck Austen's storylines were stupid.

[AFN: Judge Shred]

This begs the question now how many of their enemies actually were mutants? Brotherhood and various Apocalypse factions(Horsemen, AoA etc...)? Who else?

Tough to call him an enemy and thus lump him in with guys like the Purifiers, Stryker, Hodge, Sentinels and Arcade. He never did anything outright violent against them, IIRC - he was just a politician harping on about the issue. But in the end, even he came around to the X-Men's side.

Morlocks sometimes, Sauron is a mutant, I think.
