* ''X-Men Legacy'', previously known as just X-Men (or "Adjectiveless X-Men" to distinguish it from Uncanny). Started off as a showcase for Jim Lee, but it was transformed into Grant Morrison's New X Men to coincide with the first two movies. After Schism the book currently serves as a display for most of the teachers in the JGSFHH.

* [[Ashes to Crashes]]: Destiny (girlfriend/advisor to Mystique) left very specific instructions for when Mystique was to scatter her ashes. It was to be on the fantail of a particular cruise liner, on a specific date, at a specific time. Mystique waits for the specific time, then tosses the ashes, only to have the wind blow them right back in her face. The fact that Destiny was a clairvoyant means the entire thing was a rather macabre practical joke. Mystique appropriately laughs at her lover's final joke.

** It has become something of a joke at how many characters have died and returned. But trying to avert this not only fools nobody, it comes across as writers using averting this to get rid of characters they don't like.
