{{tropelist}}
* [[Actor Allusion]]: In the first episode, Storm freezes a pirate ship harassing the cruiseliner she is vacationing on in a manner similar to [[Sailor Moon|Sailor Mercury in later seasons]]. Both are voiced by [[Aya Hisakawa]].
* [[Action Girl]]: Storm is expected to be one, and likely Armor as well.
Line 14:
* [[Adaptational Badass]]: In the comics, the U-Men were slightly creepy D-list jokes, notable only for their connection to the big-name villain John Sublime. In this series, on the other hand, they're a major organisation with considerable resources, and a serious threat to the X-Men.
* [[Art Evolution]]: Wolverine looks far more like his comic book appearance, contrasted to the two previous anime series where he was more of a [[Bishounen]].
* [[Ascend to
* [[Audible Sharpness]]: Wolverine's claws.
* [[Badass Biker]]: Wolverine and Cyclops.
Line 28:
** The first one they encounter also seems to be a [[Shout-Out]] to Akira.
** Their own folks don't fare much better in these stakes, although at least in their case, it's sometimes voluntary.
* [[Cameo]]: Archangel, Colossus, Rogue, Nightcrawler, Deadpool, Captain Britain & {{spoiler|[[Iron Man (
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: {{spoiler|Emma Frost can be seen controlling Jean/Dark Phoenix in the first episode.}}
* [[Chunky Updraft]]: The series opens with this as Jean goes insane.
Line 36:
** They have in the prologue but lost it in the prologue due to [[Clothing Damage]]
*** It can't be that simple seeing as the events of the prologue happen some time before the main series and their uniforms have already been patched up.
* [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]: In the English dub, [[Mary Elizabeth McGlynn]] voices the effeminate but clearly male Marsh. It's not as obvious as you might think.
* [[Cult]]: The U-Men are billed as such.
* [[Evil Is Visceral]]: The U-Men are very fond of their creepy biotech.
Line 60:
* [[Ho Yay]]: Wolverine and Cyclops, expected as they already have plenty of this in the original comic.
** Specifically, Wolverine acts like a Type-A [[Tsundere]] to Cyclops.
* [[Humans Are
* [[Instant Armor]]: Armor's mutant power.
* [[Kick Chick]]: {{spoiler|Emma Frost, when in combat.}}
Line 67:
* [[Madness Mantra]]: One of the early enemies the X-Men face is rather...obsessed with organs.
* [[Mary Sue]]: Hisako (Armor)
* [[Mecha
* [[Most Common Superpower]]: Storm, Jean and {{spoiler|Emma Frost, who combines it with [[Absolute Cleavage]]}}.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: The David Haller Syndrome is named after Professor X's son Legion, in [[Depending
* [[Names to Know
** [[Rikiya Koyama]] returns as Logan/Wolverine
** [[Toshiyuki Morikawa]] returns as Scott Summers/Cyclops
Line 79:
* [[Nerf]]: Adaptation version: This version of Storm tends to run out of juice rather quickly, compared to the [[Physical God]]-level of power displayed by her other animated appearances.
** If it makes up for anything, it's implied that suppression devices of some sort were utilized in the first few episodes. One isn't sure how they work, but they make as much sense as anything where comic book franchises are concerned.
* [[New Powers
* [[Noodle People]]: The U-Men's cyborgs are impossibly, inhumanly lanky. Made worse because [[Body Horror|they clearly were once human, and odds are they didn't originally look like that]].
* [[Petting Zoo People]]: Beast has his more recent cat-like appearance.
Line 89:
* [[Sad Clown]]: Wolverine comes across this way with cynical gallows humor, particularly if this series canonically takes place some time after the events of his own series.
* [[Sailor Fuku]]: Hisako/Armor
** Crosses over with [[Exposed to
* [[Say My Name]]: Cyclops to Jean in the prologue.
* [[Sequel Hook]]: {{spoiler|[[The Stinger]] at the end of the series has a shot of Magneto's jail cell with a hole blown through it, and ends with "The adventures of the X-Men will continue..."}}
* [[Shoot the Dog]]: A recurring theme throughout the series.
* [[Shout-Out]]: The visual style, U-men as villains, and {{spoiler|Emma Frost joining the group and developing her secondary mutation}} are all reminiscent of the [[Grant Morrison]] run.
* [[Sunglasses
* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]: Storm of course
** [[Darkskinned Blonde]]
