* In the Second Coming crossover, members of the "X-Club" (team of scientists put together by Beast) are sent to an alternate future to save the world. Their plan involves using a cat as bait to lure away mutant-hunting robots, and they eventually succeed...only to discover that this "future" was a simulation, all done to trick the X-Club into synthesizing a "cure" to wipe out the X-gene from all mutants. X-Club member Madison Jeffries's relieved response is, [[Comically Missing the Point|"You mean...the kitten didn't die?"]]
* During the team's first encounter with [[Alpha Flight]], they're on the run in Calgary. The team is set to meet at a rendezvous point, but Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Banshee, and Storm are missing. Cut to Banshee shopping with Storm. Granted, it's so that they can disguise Storm who sticks out like a sore thumb, but still.
* For a time, [[Wolverine]] operated in Madripoor as "Patch", which involved him [[Paper -Thin Disguise|wearing an eyepatch and taking no other disguise precautions]]. Throughout the "Gehenna Affair" storyline, people keep revealing that they've known Patch is Wolverine all along, but [[Spider-Woman (Comic Book)|Jessica Drew]] explains why nobody told him: "When somebody with claws and a temper wants to believe he's fooling people, well... no one wants to be the one to say, "Hey, Wolvie, what's with the stupid eyepatch!" Not coincidentally, this was written by [[Peter David]].
* The first issue of ''Wolverine and the X-Men'' ends with [http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/3391193.html a brochure detailing the new school's classes and activities]. Amongst these are:
** "Ethics 101: Forgetting Everything You Learned From Emma Frost", taught by Kitty Pryde (an awesome [[Call Back]] to a moment from Astonishing X-Men detailed above)

'''Cyke's Internal Monologue''': So their boss is rich, old-fashioned and needs a lot of obsolete tech nobody else wants. Doesn't sound like anybody I ever heard of. Who is he, the Mad Hoarder? Baron von [[Antiques Roadshow (TV)|Antiques Roadshow]]?<br />
[at the end]<br />
'''Xavier''': News reports of a supervillain crime wave with suspected mutant sightings, SHIELD agents inquiring whether one of my students has gone rogue...[[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|and a Mr. Herman has been ringing the phone off my desk demanding to know what I've done with his bicycle]]. What on ''earth'' have you been up to today? }}
* Every single panel of Doctor Nemesis in the [[Science Hero|X-Club]] miniseries. Especially after he gets [[Did I Just Say That Out Loud?|the starfish.]]
