The following characters were planeswalkers in prerevisionist continuity but have been demoted (or promoted) from that status in revisionist continuity.

• Gaea ()
• Mishra
• Titania ()
• Yawgmoth the Ineffable, the Lord of the Wastes ()

The following characters were called planeswalkers in the Greensleeves Cycle, but those books were released before the power level of planeswalkers was established, thus it is difficult to say if they were planeswalkers in the true sense of the word. It must be noted, however, that Kuthuman, Garth, and Greensleeves herself have been described as having almost god-like powers, which seems to confirm that they had a planeswalker's spark. After being printed as a creature in Modern Horizons 2, Garth was confirmed to have been a planeswalker.

• Chaney: Chaney's status as a planeswalker is contested. She is described as having considerable powers (she can manipulate the flowing of time) and she was surely able to planeswalks in her youth; however she grows old and dies like a mortal woman: whether this means that she didn't have a proper spark, somehow lost it, or simply chose to die remains unknown.
• Garth One-Eye (,)
• Greensleeves (,)
• Kuthuman ()

Then there is one person who was given the power of a planeswalker by Geyadrone Dihada. Planeswalker powers cannot be gained this way in revisionist continuity, but it is possible Dihada only activated his latent spark.

• Dakkon Blackblade ()

Unconfirmed

It is unclear whether the following people were actual planeswalkers or not.

• Bolar
• Fiers ()
• Nailah, Queen of Rabiah () (Playable as a nonlegendary Creature)
• Xavis' intended enemy
• Xavis' creator
