What is the sum of X+XX+XXX+XXXX?

Given the use of upper case, I personally would initially assume Roman numerals*, so the answer would be C (100 in present-day decimal notation)

*Note that the abbreviation XL (for XXXX) appeared quite late in the Roman period, and never found universal favour

It’s a matter of interpretation.

Have you ever met someone and something seemed so unusual about them but you couldn't put your finger on what it was?

as would be assuming that these are representations of conventional numbers, in which case the answer for number bases of five or more would be

However, X +X^2 +X^3 + X^4 is a valid algebraic answer,

11010X

Why do I feel like something bad is going to happen to me?

and for binary would be

What is the sum of X+XX+XXX+XXXX?

1234X
