Smiley Men

He cannot hurt you, okay? He's not real. Okay, run!
~ Samuel Guthrie learning the hard way that the Smiley Men are very much reality.

The Smiley Men are major antagonists in the 2020 superhero horror film The New Mutants, the final installment of the X-Men film series. They are mysterious entities who are collectively the physical manifestation of Illyana Rasputin's greatest fear. They are not sentient enough to speak, rather communicating with their iconic demonic screech (see below).

They are all voiced by Marilyn Manson, who also voiced the Shadow in Once Upon a Time and portrayed Ron Tully in Sons of Anarchy.

History

Smiley Men

The Smiley Men manifested from the ether shortly after Dr. Cecelia Reyes attempted to execute Dani Moonstar. As a sex slave, Illyana had faced sexual abuse from perverse criminals wearing smiling masks. Because of this, she called these evildoers Smiley Men, and going into her late adolescence, remembered them as supernatural creatures. They chased Illyana and her friends through a series of corridors, while another went to take on Roberto, only to be blasted away with pyrokinesis. Finally, Illyana appeared from an extra-dimensional portal and finally overcame her fear by massacring the Smiley Men with her cosmic blade.
