*** Marrow actually wasn't as plucky as she was rebellious: being a Morlock, she was the only one who could not leave if not for missions, and was constantly rubbing Storm the wrong way. And she only gained respect for Wolverine after she forced him to go [[Unstoppable Rage|berserk]] and he beat the crap out of her.
* [[Take That]]: In one ''Generation M'' comic, the main character is an alcoholic reporter. A suspiciously-familiar guy calling himself [[Iron Man|Tony S]] attends one of her AA meetings. At a later point, after being beaten up she refers to herself as "looking like one of [[Never Live It Down|Hank Pym's]] girlfriends".
* [[Tangled Family Tree]]: The Summers family is a massive [[Continuity Snarl]] to itself, and is so convoluted that at this point Scott Summers may in fact be [[My Own Grampa|his own grandfather]]
:No fewer than four characters in the main continuity of the ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'' comics can be said to be the child of Scott Summers, only one of whom (Cable) was actually ''born'' during the timeline of the main Marvel Universe, and none of whom are more than [[Comic Book Time|about ten years younger than their parents]] (including [[Cable]], who is, due to the massive amount of [[Time Travel]] in his backstory, at least ten years ''older'' than his parents).
:Add to that Scott's brother Alex, their long-lost father (the [[Space Pirates|space pirate]] Corsair), and the supervillain-ruler-of-a-galactic-empire Third Summers Brother (Vulcan), and the whole thing is just one big mess. Ironically, Scott started out as an orphan with no known family.
* [[Thematic Rogues Gallery]]: Most of the X-Men's enemies can be put into one of four broad categories:
** Human bigots who want to murder or enslave every mutant on Earth
