Line 52:
** Liz Allen doesn't even attempt to {{spoiler|talk her brother Teddy out of joining Pietro's new Brotherhood.}}
* [[Intro Dump]]: Every. Single. Character. ''[[Department of Redundancy Department|Each and every one of them]]'' [[Department of Redundancy Department|are]] ''[[Department of Redundancy Department|continually]]'' referring to each other by name! Every. One.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Just about every member commits terrible acts over the course of the series and save for Wolverine never faces any repercussions. For example:
** Cyclops defects to the Brotherhood and takes part bombings of the British Parliament and M16.
** Professor X and Jean frequently abuse their powers to their own ends.
** Storm even crippled someone and electrocuted a sandbox full of children (off panel.)
** Averted with Wolverine in that he not only faces retribution for the things he does but he is even held accountable for things he didn't do. For example Jean threatens him, and actually follows though with it, f he ever things of her in a sexual way again. Despite the fact that she was fully complacent in their affair.
* [[Kill'Em All]]: Of all the Ultimate titles, ''X-Men'' got hit the hardest in ''Ultimatum''. The casualty list - which includes {{spoiler|Xavier, Cyclops, and Wolverine}} - is probably longer than the list of surviving mutants.
Line 63:
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Charles Xavier.
* [[Meta Origin]]: Notably different from the mainstream version: {{spoiler|the mutant gene isn't evolution at work, it was artificially created in a lab. Only Wolverine's X-gene is natural.}}
* [[Mind Rape]]: Xavier erases Magneto's mind after the first arc and has him living his life as a peaceful civilian. When it gets reverse, Magneto was very, very angry at the revelation.
* [[Not So Different]]: Both Charles and Magneto are both manipulative and petty in their own special way, and just as uncompromising in their beliefs.
* [[Non-Action Guy]]: Doug Ramsay is the only non-mutant at his school, he's just ''really'' smart.
Line 79:
* [[Staircase Tumble]]: Mister Sinister vs. Professor X. The stairs win.
* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: Nightcrawler to Dazzler.
* [[
* [[Stylistic Suck]]: Storm's play, 'The Shadow King'.
* [[Take Up My Sword]]: Although Jean does not seem to want to do this for Xavier and the [[X-Men]], {{spoiler|it seems like she will do so, as Quicksilver is apparently starting a new [[Brotherhood of Evil|Brotherhood of Mutants]], and has at least successfully recruited Theodore, Liz's brother.}}
