** ''Ultimatum'' caused a lot of these. In ''Comicbook/UltimateXMen'', it had been revealed that Comicbook/EmmaFrost (who was thought to be a hero and ally to the X-Men) was actually a [[TheMole Mole]] working for the Hellfire Club. Emma was killed in ''Ultimatum'' (''offscreen'' no less) before this subplot could be continued.

** In the same event, Comicbook/DoctorStrange was slain by Dormammu. Upon Stephen's death, a mysterious figure appeared in front of his corpse and teleported away with it. Like the business with the Wasp/Jocasta, this was never addressed or even mentioned again.

How did he know Steven? What did he do with the body? We don't know and like the business with the Wasp/Jocasta, this was never addressed or even mentioned again.again.

* During the ''Comicbook/{{Ultimatum}}'' crossover, Comicbook/TheWasp was [[DroppedABridgeOnHim killed after being eaten off-screen by the Blob]]. Before pulling a HeroicSacrifice, [[Comicbook/AntMan Yellowjacket]] was seen telling Comicbook/IronMan to take the Wasp's body into his lab and activate something known as "The Jocasta Project", hinting that her life might somehow be saved (since in the mainstream comics, Jocasta was an android with the Wasp's brain patterns). This was never mentioned again. In the same event, Comicbook/DoctorStrange was slain by Dormammu. Upon Stephen's death, a mysterious figure appeared in front of his corpse and teleported away with it. Like the business with the Wasp/Jocasta, this was never addressed or even mentioned again.

Emma was killed in ''Ultimatum'' (''offscreen'' no less) before this subplot could be continued.
** In an ''[[Comicbook/UltimateXMen Ultimate Comics: X-Men]]'' arc following ''Ultimatum'', it was revealed that Havok was still alive and in a mental institution. He was released by Nathaniel Essex and introduced to Layla Miller, with the implication that there were plans for the boy. This plot point was never resolved, as the book ended up changing writers who never followed up on any of this.
** Connected to this was a thread of several characters seeing "ghosts" of loved ones telling them to follow plans that made everything worse for everyone, much like Havok, with the implication that Apocalypse was the one behind it all, and that he was looking for a rematch with The Phoenix (after his last appearance had him be [[CurbStompBattle Curb-stomped]] by it), along with William Stryker Junior's mind being uploaded to all the Sentinels. Then Nick Spencer left, and the incoming Brian Wood didn't even pay lip-service to any of this.
* Well before the ''Ultimatum'' stuff, ''Ultimate X-Men'' #67 had Comicbook/{{Sabretooth}} drop the bombshell that he was Wolverine's son. Nothing ever came of this development, and when the two faced each other again in issue #89, Logan rather dismissively stated that there was no way that could be true.
* Comicbook/{{Mary Jane|Watson}} supposedly had the OZ formula purged from her body at the end of the "Clone Saga" arc in ''Comicbook/UltimateSpiderMan'', but there were still scattered hints that some of it remained. She briefly grew claws at one point during a tense argument between Peter and Comicbook/KittyPryde, and was shown having nightmares where she transformed back into the Demogoblin and killed Peter. This whole subplot was quietly dropped after a while.
* ''ComicBook/UltimateWolverine'': At the end of the series, Jimmy gets a Wolverine suit based on the one worn by Logan in the mainstream Marvel Universe. Despite promotional materials showing Jimmy in the costume, he never ended up actually wearing it.
