Is the red-faced teleported Nightcrawler? Who's the dark haired girl, Moira McTaggert? Who's the short girl with the wings, it can't be Wasp from the Avengers.

Ok watched the extended spot last night on Fox, it appears the winged girl is angel. So they changed the character from a tall blond male to a short dark-haired female? The teleporter sure looks like Nightcrawler, but I think the preview said it was Damien? And the black guy was called Darwin. I've never heard of him.

winged: Angel Salvatore with dragonfly-like wings and acidic spittle, not to be confused with Warren "Angel" Worthington III who has giant chicken wings =P
red: Azazel, Nightcrawler's demonic dad (Mystique is Nightcrawler's mom), which is why Nightcrawler often has the Scott Evil complex.
Darwin: really minor character who has "reactive evolution". if he gets hit he develops armored skin to survive the hit. if he's in a dark room he'll get IR vision, etc... but he's powers are mediocre at best. as wiki described: when he realize he couldn't beat Hulk, his body develops teleportation (really cheesy fight or flight representation)
