The G Men, even in the comics, were always meant to be a(very)twisted piss-take of the X Men. The series is really leaning into during S2.
- Godolkin/Cipher is obviously Professor X, with the eugenics world view of Apocalypse. Only the strongest Supes deserve to live. Weak Supes, like Humans themselves, are worthless in his eyes.
His ability to possess other people also resembles the Shadow King, one of Professor X's earliest foes, and almost up there with Magneto when it comes to being Xavier's archenemy.
- Speaking of Eric, Polarity is obviously the Master of Magnetism. Making him the good guy who's fighting to save his people from an evil Prof X is a nice touch.
- Jordon is Mystique: can change gender and is in a relationship with a woman.
- Sam is Legion: extremely powerful but with severe mental health issues.
- Cate is Emma Frost: a blond Telepath who's used her Powers selfishly. She's trying to reform, but even her peer group find it difficult to trust her because of what she did in the past.
- Harper is Rogue, in that she can copy other people's Powers and skills for a brief time if she makes physical contact. Unlike Rogue, Harper doesn't seem to have a problem with touching people normally if she wants to.
- Tyler Oppenheim is Shadowcat: he can phase through solid objects.
- Steve is Iceman.
- Hemple(Bondage Baby)poor bastard, is a piss-take of Beast, specifically the pre-transformation Hank in X Men: First Class.
- Maria herself resembles Elixir from the New Mutants in terms of of her Biokinesis Powers.
