10 Bizarre Cameos In X-Men Comics

10. Santa Claus

X-Men comics canonically have called Santa "the most powerful mutant ever registered." Not kidding, if you Google "most powerful mutant registered" he will be your search result. Comics are crazy.

Santa has more than a handful of appearances for Marvel Comics, but one that especially comes to mind is from 1991's Marvel Holiday Special. In the story, The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants are making trouble around Christmastime. The X-Men, of course, jump into action, struggling at first until a jolly man in a red suit comes to their assistance. He handily deals with The Brotherhood and introduces himself as Kris Kringle. The team is understandably skeptical but soon grow to believe him when he turns The Brotherhood into toys. Unfortunately, the X-Men can hardly thank him before they are teleported away, minds completely wiped of the experience courtesy of Mr. Claus. Kind of a jerk move, Santa.

People have pondered for years how Santa manages to deliver presents across the world in one night. Not sure anyone would've put their money on mutant powers, but hey, that works. And please, someone at Marvel have the guts the make old Saint Nick a full-time member of an X-team.
