Line 49:
* [[Did They or Didn't They?]]: Fans were convinced that Rogue and Magneto hooked up in a previous storyline (despite [[Word of God]]), perhaps the reason why they were a genuine couple in this series.
* [[The Disembodied]]: The villain Holocaust.
* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]]: [[Quicksilver]] learned that his father had been kidnapped by his worst enemy, his half brother had vanished, and a virtual stranger had also been captured. He had to decide to rescue the stranger. When his girlfriend Storm tried to sympathize, he refused to talk with her because if he thought of what he was doing, he would not be able to do it.
* [[Dragon With an Agenda]]: Sinister, Holocaust and Prelate Rasputin have their own plans.
* [[The Empire]]
Line 58:
** In universe examples include Cyclops and Strong Guy among others.
** {{spoiler|Wolverine as of the Dark Angel Saga in Uncanny having become the heir to Apocalypse and Bobby Drake.}}
* [[Flip
** It was explained that the real reason for the main [[Marvel Universe]] being destroyed (temporarily) is the M'Kraan Crystal being breached; since there is a single M'Kraan Crystal that exists simultaneously in all realities, breaching it in one reality creates a cascade effect that will wipe out the entire multiverse. When this was averted, things went back to normal.
* [[Future Badass]]: Almost everyone in the series is a future badass version of themselves; the one glaring exception is Illyana Rasputin, who never went to hell in this continuity and is therefore a little girl rather than a teenaged demon-sorceress.
Line 71:
* [[Remember That You Trust Me]]
* [[Ret Canon]]: The classic Sunfire later sported his AoA counterpart's look, ironically as a horseman of Apocalypse while Shadowcat briefly employed a claw device similar to the one used by her AoA self.
* [[Ripple
* [[The Spartan Way]]: Colossus' method of training young mutants.
* [[The Starscream]]:
Line 77:
** Holocaust is also implied to have more extreme plans.
* [[Superpower Meltdown]]: X-Man was engineered by Sinister to eventually (and literally) burn out from the strength of his psionic power.
* [[The Time
* [[Unexplained Recovery]]: Even though the usual "This is a 'What If' so let's kill everyone we can' rules apply, one character actually enjoyed a normal [[Death Is Cheap|comic book resurrection]], albeit as an after the fact [[Retcon]] brought about by editorial bungling. {{spoiler|Cyclops was intended to die in the end, but as many fans pointed out, the depiction of his death makes no sense; Havok's power shouldn't be able to even hurt him, much less kill him. So in the epilogue miniseries, he was established to be alive again (though he never appears).}}
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]:
Line 90:
[[Category:X-Men (Franchise)]]
