Naming something "X" makes it not only cooler, but more mysterious. "X" is often associated with anonymous persons and things that have yet to be formally named. The fact that X represents a single unknown, generic value in mathematical equations may be partly responsible for this trope and is the source of the trope name. See also Double X and Xtreme Kool Letterz. When used to obscure the exact year of a work's established setting, see Year X. |

Taken to the x-treme with X-Men. Almost everything has an X attached to it - the Man from Room X, Planet X, x-cetera. "Weapon X" underwent a bit of a Retcon when the X was revealed to mean "10" in Roman numerals. In an earlier comic it was supposed to be the Greek letter Chi. The leader of the X-Men, Professor X. This is even invoked in a What If? story where Magneto, instead of splitting with Xavier, decided to stay on his side and form the X-Men with him. In that case, "X" is short for "Xavier", his actual name. Once, a flashback sequence has Moira MacTaggart point out that naming the team after himself was a bit egotistical. Xavier insists that the connection never occurred to him. |

In the introduction to the 50th anniversary reprint of the Doctor Who Expanded Universe novel Prisoner of the Daleks, Trevor Baxendale says that he knew he wanted the Dalek Inquisitor-General to have a name, but until he could work out the right name, he referred to it as "Dalek X". Eventually he realised the right name was obvious: Dalek X. | |

The χ-blade, with the significance of the letter discussed in Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. To add to the confusion, it's based on the Greek letter "chi", yet pronounced the exact same way as "key", making it no sound different from "Keyblade." It can get a little awkward when using verbal communication. | |

In Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, the video game theme is represented by each Rider's forms having Character Levels, ranging from 1 (a weak but necessary base form) to 99 (their ultimate forms). The villainous Kamen Rider Genm eventually gained a Survival Horror-inspired Level X form; as he explains to his ally that the X doesn't just mean "ten", but also the unknown. He proves this true by gaining a massive power boost that makes him stronger than even a Level 99 Rider. Unfortunately for him, Ex-Aid ends up getting an upgrade with a Game-Breaker ability, which lets him defeat Genm by removing his ability to transform. (Ex-Aid had also received a "Level XX" form, but that just seems to stand for 20 and isn't shown to have the unknown variable that Genm's does.) | |

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock began a tradition in the franchise where experimental starships showcasing either cutting edge ship design or technology were christen with NX rather than the typical NCC. And later rechristened with NCC when it no longer was a prototype design (the Excelsior was NX-2000 when it showed up in The Search for Spock. When it showed up again in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, in-universe eight years later, the Excelsior was NCC-2000). | |

It's later revealed that these files are put into the "X" drawer because there's no specific place to put them and it has the most room.

Planet X (see below for details) appears in many old sci-fi works. Today, most people recognize it from Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century, which parodies this by having it as an actual planet with a giant "X" on it, which you can find by following a trail of planets similarly labelled with other letters of the alphabet. | |

In Death Note, Near literally lets X be the unknown, with "L-Kira" being the face of Kira that is pretending to be L, and "X-Kira" being the one who is doing the majority of the actual killings. It's not actually his name, but Near uses it like a name, it still uses X for mystery, and it still sounds cool. | |

The leader of the X-Men, Professor X. This is even invoked in a What If? story where Magneto, instead of splitting with Xavier, decided to stay on his side and form the X-Men with him. In that case, "X" is short for "Xavier", his actual name. Once, a flashback sequence has Moira MacTaggart point out that naming the team after himself was a bit egotistical. Xavier insists that the connection never occurred to him. | |

Pokémon In a similar vein to the anime, prior to the release of the second generation of Pokémon games, Pokémon Gold and Silver, Lugia was referred to as "Pokémon X". A similar, but downplayed, example exists with Shadow Lugia in Pokémon XD, where it is referred to as "XD001". Prior to its release, Pokémon Crystal, an Updated Re-release of Pokémon Gold and Silver, was known as Pokémon X, which happens to be the title of one of the 6th Generation Pokémon games, Pokémon X. |

TNA has the X Division, its official "no limits" division, as opposed to its heavyweight division, which had a minimum weight limit. It's essentially a hardcore division but not in the Garbage Wrestler sense, in that more "high spots" are to be expected sense. Despite having competitors approaching and surpassing 300 lbs, including a celebrated champion in Samoa Joe, a weight limit was eventually put in place for those who wanted to compete in the X division, temporarily turning it into a glorified cruiser weight division until it was lifted.note The weight limit was an attempt to apologize to fans for putting the belt on Abyss, who wasn't a bad wrestler but wasn't what people watched X Division matches for, being neither springy, nor quick, nor very technical. | |

In The Great Escape, the resistance organisation is called the X organisation. Its leader is called Big X. Both justified and Truth in Television: Security, obviously, was an issue, and calling something the 'X' Organization would give no clues to its purpose. Same concept was used in naming the three tunnels Tom, Dick, and Harry. | |

Star Trek: Voyager. The holodeck program The Adventures of Captain Proton is an Affectionate Parody of cheesy scifi, so the Supervillain Lair of Mad Scientist Dr. Chaotica is located on "Planet X" as a homage to this trope. | |

As revealed in Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance], the letter "X" is known as the Recusant's Sigil, which Xehanort used to mark the Organization's members as his vessels in his massive Grand Theft Me plan. He can even track people who wear it on their clothes, such as Sora's dream-world outfit. | |

Kingdom Hearts: Every member of Organization XIII has a name that is a Significant Anagram of their original name with an "X" added in. Xemnas is a unique exception, as he used the name of a man whose identity he stole (Ansem). Interestingly, the Japanese syllabary has no "X", making their names words that should not be pronounceable. The χ-blade, with the significance of the letter discussed in Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. To add to the confusion, it's based on the Greek letter "chi", yet pronounced the exact same way as "key", making it no sound different from "Keyblade." It can get a little awkward when using verbal communication. As revealed in Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance], the letter "X" is known as the Recusant's Sigil, which Xehanort used to mark the Organization's members as his vessels in his massive Grand Theft Me plan. He can even track people who wear it on their clothes, such as Sora's dream-world outfit. In an example that is literal to the trope title, the Secret Reports of Kingdom Hearts III mention a mysterious girl, implied to be a character from Kingdom Hearts χ, who was used as a test subject in the experiments of Ansem the Wise's apprentices. Suffering amnesia and unable to recall her own name, she was referred to only as "Subject X". |
