Line 19:
** Penance wasn't conventionally attractive, although to be fair, it wasn't always easy to count her with the other students.
* [[Betty and Veronica]]: One of many things Jubilee (Betty) and Monet (Veronica)) clashed over was Synch's affections.
* [[BLAMNon Sequitur Episode]]: The storyline in the 30s where the M twins and Emplate merged into a single entity and pursued some pandimensional [[MacGuffin]] that turned out to be a [[Barrier Maiden]]. The team chased them on a cartoonish train with help from a talking rabbit. The storyline began with an attempt to explain the St. Croix family secrets, but quickly veered off into ''[[Alice in Wonderland]]'' territory.
* [[Blessed with Suck]]: Chamber had telepathy, energy blasting, and no need to eat or breathe -- whichbreathe—which was handy, since he no longer had a mouth, or lungs, or a heart.
** Also Penance, who had diamond-hard skin that was also diamond-sharp.
** Also Skin, who had... six feet of extra skin. That's it. It ''did'' have some utility--actuallyutility—actually a whole hell of a lot--butlot—but most of the time it just made him look like a melted candle.
* [[Captain Ethnic]]: Played straight with Banshee and Jubilee (who might not seem like a stereotypical Asian girl until you realize her power is to create ''fireworks''), both of whom were created years before, but averted with all the characters new in this series. None of the other characters had stereotypical powers or personalities to match their ethnicities.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: the arc closing out the series. It was part of a revamp and pruning of all the X-Books. The second-to-last story arc was a four-issue story after a [[Time Skip]] past some unspecified trauma in which the team dynamics had already been shaken up, and then the final four issues were a flashback to a [[Tonight Someone Dies]] situation.
