Clarifications:
X-Men (Millennial Visions 2001) should not be confused with:
ANGEL
Warren Worthington III was a member of the X-Men who lost the trust of some of his friends when he started a new Hellfire Club following the death of Professor X.
Angel had feathery wings capable of flight.
--X-Men Millennial Visions 2001 - "X-Men: Reborn"
Following the death of Professor X, Hank McCoy remained the most calm and easy-going of the X-Men.
Beast presumably had the superhuman strength, agility and dexterity that his Earth-616 counterpart possessed.
--X-Men Millennial Visions 2001 - "X-Men: Reborn"
COLOSSUS
Long thought dead, Colossus was found by Wolverine in a Weapon X stronghold, his body permanently transformed into solid adamantium.
Colossus had superhuman strength and durability due to his adamantium body.
--X-Men Millennial Visions 2001 - "X-Men: Reborn"
CYCLOPS
Scott was disturbed by the sudden death of his mentor and the crippling of his wife. He became distant and began to adopt a "deathwish" attitude, often rushing foolishly into battle.
Cyclops presumably still had the same optic energy blasts of his Earth-616 counterpart.
--X-Men Millennial Visions 2001 - "X-Men: Reborn"
ELECTRIC EVE
Electric Eve was a relatively new X-Man, having been recruited into the team from the Morlocks.
Electric Eve could generate electrical energy.
--X-Men Millennial Visions 2001 - "X-Men: Reborn"
GAMBIT
Following the death of Professor X, Gambit married Rogue and remained an X-Man.
He had the same ability to charge objects with explosive energy that his Earth-616 counterpart had.
--X-Men Millennial Visions 2001 - "X-Men: Reborn"
ICEMAN
After the death of Professor X, Iceman lost trust in his old friend, Angel, when Warren founded a new version of the Hellfire Club.
Iceman had the ability to freeze moisture in the air.
--X-Men Millennial Visions 2001 - "X-Men: Reborn"
LITTERBUG
The nearly-mute Litterbug was recruited into the X-Men from Chicago's Morlock community, along with Electric Eve.
Litterbug's body was covered in a chitonous exoskeleton that gave him superhuman durability. His insect-like body also had claws capable of digging through concrete and crushing metal.
--X-Men Millennial Visions 2001 - "X-Men: Reborn"
NIGHTCRAWLER
When Professor X was killed, Kurt became disillusioned with the church and devoted his life to the X-Men.
Nightcrawler could teleport himself and others.
--X-Men Millennial Visions 2001 - "X-Men: Reborn"
PHOENIX
When Professor X unlocked 220, 000 potential mutants, killing himself in the process, Jean Grey absorbed the powers of Cerebra due to an accident that left her confined to a wheelchair. Her mind further empowered by the absorption of Cerebra, Jean was aware of the location, activities, and motives of any mutant at any given time.
Jean had telepathy and telekinesis, but on a much greater scale than her Earth-616 counterpart, due to the absorption of the Cerebra computer system into her mind.
--X-Men Millennial Visions 2001 - "X-Men: Reborn"
ROGUE
After the death of Professor X, Rogue married Gambit and took to using cards as weapons, like her husband.
Rogue presumably had the ability to absorb the powers and memories of others.
--X-Men Millennial Visions 2001 - "X-Men: Reborn"
STORM
While remaining an X-Man, Storm came to be seen as a terrorist due to her flooding of Washington, D. C. in response to their mandatory mutant embryo testing and abortions.
Storm had the ability to manipulate the weather.
--X-Men Millennial Visions 2001 - "X-Men: Reborn"
WOLVERINE
A few years before the death of Professor X, Wolverine was recaptured by the Weapon X program and experimented on yet again, leaving his muscle tissue and teeth laced in adamantium.
Wolverine had adamantium claws, teeth, and muscle tissue.
