Who qualifies for a seat at Marvel’s most controversial table? This roster guide profiles each prominent member—Iron Man, Mister Fantastic, Doctor Strange, Black Bolt, Namor, and Professor X—plus recurring figures like Black Panther and Beast. For each, we outline core powers, leadership style, moral red lines, and the pivotal moments that earned (or cost) them trust within the council. You’ll also find quick “read next” pointers to the arcs where each character shines, from Infinity Stone deliberations to multiversal crises. Use this as a character-by-character map to understand how clashing egos and ethics drive the Illuminati’s most disastrous (and heroic) decisions.
