Code:
mob/player 
   Login()       world << "<b> \red [usr] logs on!" 
      alert("Welcome to X-Men Unlimited","Ok")       
      src.name = input("What is your characters codename","Name",src.key)
      switch(input("What is your alignment?")in list("Good", "Evil", "Neutral")
      if("Good")
      usr.icon = 'good.dmi'
      alert("Welcome to the X-Men","Ok")
      if("Evil")
      alert("Welcome to the Brotherhood","Ok")
      usr.icon = 'evil.dmi'
      if("Neutral")
      alert("Welcome to the Morlocks!","Ok")
      usr.icon = 'morlock.dmi'


Problem description:

I am new to coding and everytime I try to complie this I get:

Xmen.dm:7:error: if: missing comma ',' or right-paren ')'

Can anyone let me know what exactly is wrong, I seem to always get some sort of error in my code and I can never solve it.

after a switch input, indent
switch(input(usr,"stuf her")in list("LOL","OMG")
INDENT HERE if("LOL")
INDENT HERE INDENT HERE //stuff

you ident after if() too

And always be sure to indent your If() statements after a input() in list() this. So it actually does what its told.

You're forgetting to indent the whole thing, i.e. the lines after the if statements.

This should work better.

Aside from what everyone else said, you don't give them a chance to cancel out, you didn't call mob/Login() with ..() or some variant, and you really don't need to use usr in Login().
By the way, alerts default with an "Ok" button, no need to add it.

Even with the indent help I still get:

Xmen.dm:15: Inconsistent indentation.

Even with the codes u have provided, I am really new at this, what identation is wrong now?

mob/player
   Login()
      ..() 
      alert("Welcome to X-Men Unlimited","Ok")
      world << "<b> \red [src] logs on!"
      src.name = input("What is your characters codename","Name",src.key)
      switch(input("What is your alignment?")in list("Good", "Evil", "Neutral"))
          if("Good")
            usr.icon = 'evil.dmi'
        if("Evil")
            usr.icon = 'good.dmi'
        if("Neutral")
            usr.icon = 'morlock.dmi'
      switch(input("What is your Gender?")in list("Male","Female"))
        if("Male")
            icon_state = "Male"
        if("Female")
            icon_state = "Female"


That is what the code is like now and it still has inconsitent Identation, what is wrong?
