Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene]]: The apparent one-nighter between Magneto and Wasp had ''absolutely nothing'' to do with advancing the plot, and was never mentioned again in either the X-Men or Avengers books.
** This happened because [[Chris Claremont]] had told Jim Shooter that he was preparing Magneto's [[Heel Face Turn]], and Shooter thought Magneto would become an Avenger due to his power level and the fact that his children were in that team, so Shooter tried to give him a tighter link to another Avenger. However, Magneto joined the X-Men and this became a [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene]].
* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: As Doom makes his way through Galactus's world-ship, he [[Thinking Out Loud|narrates every bit of his journey aloud]]. When Klaw asks him if he's taping himself, Doom replies that, as a matter of fact, he is. "Every utterance of Doom must be recorded for posterity!"
** A depowered Ben Grimm and arrowless Hawkeye find themselves trapped in a confrontation with the fully-powered but simple-minded Lizard and Klaw. We cut to follow the action of some other characters, and when we come back, we see these four engaged in a game of patty-cake.
Line 7:
* [[Strangled by the Red String]]: Colossus falling for Zsaji. Wolverine lampshades it through his interior monologue, theorizing it must have something to do with her alien chemistry.
** Actually it was his own subconscious desires (see [[Be Careful What You Wish For]] in the main page).
** Really, the real cause of this was the writer, Jim Shooter, who had been looking for an excuse to break-up Kitty and Colossus for some time. <ref>Shooter was suitably squicked for the longest time with the depicted, even if as-of-yet chaste, relationship between two characters who were 20 (Colossus) and 14 (Kitty) at the time.</ref>
