** During the "Planet X" storyline, Comicbook/TheWasp and Havok had a daughter together named Katie while in the alternate future created by Earth's destruction. Katie was eventually kidnapped by Comicbook/KangTheConqueror, who used her as leverage to get Havok to play along with his plans. Just prior to ''Comicbook/{{AXIS}}'', Immortus showed up and gave the couple hope by telling them they could get Katie back by conceiving a child at the right date and time, which he claimed would allow Katie to be reborn in the prime timeline. Both Wasp and Havok were written out of the series after ''AXIS'', and the subplot was later abandoned entirely once Remender left the book after ''Comicbook/SecretWars2015''. The romantic relationship between the two was also ended offscreen by subsequent writers, removing any remaining hope for Katie's rebirth.
** Rick Remender's run ended with Comicbook/TheVision learning a horrible secret about Comicbook/ScarletWitch and refusing to divulge it in order to spare her feelings, and the High Evolutionary claiming that his genocidal actions were meant to safeguard the world from some unspecified oncoming threat. Both plot points were dropped when the book was cancelled and relaunched with a new creative team due to the aforementioned ''Secret Wars'' reboot.
* Kieron Gillen's ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen2012'' had Mister Sinister as the first villain, and he clearly had more plans in store. In the aftermath of ''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen'', Sinister revealed that he'd been posing as the X-Men's PR expert from even before Gillen's run, and he challenged Scott to stop him once Scott got out of prison -- In fact, it's implied stopping Sinister is partly why Scott decided to break out of prison. None of this is followed up on, and the next time Sinister showed up proper, he had a completely new plan involving the terrigen mists.

This secretive bloodline of mutants, all possessing immortality in addition to their mutant power, were built up to be the next big thing, with two former {{Big Bad}}s revealed to be members of the group, as was a member of the team, whom the others seemed to have various vaguely-defined "plans" for. However, Liefeld left the book before he could tie up all the plot threads, and the next creative team was quick to sweep everything about this story under the rug, with one of the three established characters in the group killing all the new ones and the other two revealed to not actually be Externals anyway. This happened so suddenly that many fans pointed out the fact that the story was essentially ''Franchise/{{Highlander}}'' with the SerialNumbersFiledOff and suspected Marvel canned the story to avoid litigation, though WordOfGod assures us this was not the case. There was also a subplot during Joe Kelly's run that hinted Jean might end up transforming into the Phoenix again. Kelly left the book before this could happen, though Creator/GrantMorrison ended up bringing back Jean's Phoenix abilities in their own run. There was also a plotline, dating back to the early nineties, where Bishop referred to Jubilee as "the last X-man", but that plot line has never resurfaced again.

**Hellfire Club London was the British counterpart to the American version of the Hellfire Club. It consisted of mostly new characters, along with the veteran villain Margali Szardos. This version was introduced in 1996, and was the focus of a single storyline. They have not been depicted as a team since 1996. Margali was next seen as a captive of the demon Belasco, and most of the other character disappeared.

Kaur and Payge inexplicably disappeared in 1994, Kine disappeared in 1995, and Shinobi himself disappeared in 1997.

Sunspot left the team to join the Hellfire Club as the new Black Rook in exchange for his late girlfriend Julia Sandoval being reincarnated in a new body, and it was indicated she was recovering her old memories. There was also foreshadowing that Domino would soon die in a devastating future conflict. None of this was ever properly followed up on by any Marvel series.

This secretive bloodline of mutants, all possessing immortality in addition to their mutant power, were built up to be the next big thing, with two former {{Big Bad}}s revealed to be members of the group, as was a member of the team, whom the others seemed to have various vaguely-defined "plans" for. However, Liefeld left the book before he could tie up all the plot threads, and the next creative team was quick to sweep everything about this story under the rug, with one of the three established characters in the group killing all the new ones and the other two revealed to not actually be Externals anyway. This happened so suddenly that many fans pointed out the fact that the story was essentially ''Franchise/{{Highlander}}'' with the SerialNumbersFiledOff and suspected Marvel canned the story to avoid litigation, though WordOfGod assures us this was not the case. There was also a subplot during Joe Kelly's run that hinted Jean might end up transforming into the Phoenix again. Kelly left the book before this could happen, though Creator/GrantMorrison ended up bringing back Jean's Phoenix abilities in his own run. There was also a plotline, dating back to the early nineties, where Bishop referred to Jubilee as "the last X-man", but that plot line has never resurfaced again.

* In one of the issues of the ''Comicbook/{{Daken}}'' solo series, the title character reads a news article about the new ComicBook/CaptainAmerica being outed as ComicBook/BuckyBarnes, the man who killed Daken's mother. He's shown looking at Bucky's picture with an intense stare, and there is a strong implication that Daken is planning on confronting Barnes. The book was cancelled before this fight could occur and Daken never brings it up again in any of his appearances.
* The final issue of ''Comicbook/{{Dazzler}}'' ended with Allison seeking a new status quo, and Comicbook/{{Beast|Marvel Comics}} suggesting that she join Comicbook/XFactor, the new team he and several of his former X-Men teammates were putting together. Dazzler did not end up appearing in ''X-Factor'', as the plan to have her be the team's fifth member was changed when editorial decided to resurrect Comicbook/JeanGrey and have her be part of the group instead.
* ''ComicBook/NewXMenAcademyX'' looked to be building up a BigBad in [[MindRape mind-rapist]] Sean Garrison, the PsychoPsychologist father of one of the main characters, Wallflower. However, the original writers on the book were abruptly fired following ''ComicBook/HouseOfM'', and not only was this storyline never mentioned again, but Wallflower was killed in the wave of anti-mutant violence that followed said ''House of M''. The new creative team implied in an interview that Garrison was depowered by the Scarlet Witch's reality warp, but nothing definitive has ever been stated on his fate in canon itself.
* ''Comicbook/UncannyAvengers''
** During the "Planet X" storyline, Comicbook/TheWasp and Havok had a daughter together named Katie while in the alternate future created by Earth's destruction. Katie was eventually kidnapped by Kang the Conqueror, who used her as leverage to get Havok to play along with his plans. Just prior to ''Comicbook/{{AXIS}}'', Immortus showed up and gave the couple hope by telling them they could get Katie back by conceiving a child at the right date and time, which he claimed would allow Katie to be reborn in the prime timeline. Both Wasp and Havok were written out of the series after ''AXIS'', and the subplot was later abandoned entirely once Remender left the book after ''Comicbook/SecretWars2015''. The romantic relationship between the two was also ended offscreen by subsequent writers, removing any remaining hope for Katie's rebirth.
** Rick Remender's run ended with Comicbook/TheVision learning a horrible secret about Comicbook/ScarletWitch and refusing to divulge it in order to spare her feelings, and the High Evolutionary claiming that his genocidal actions were meant to safeguard the world from some unspecified oncoming threat. Both plot points were dropped when the book was cancelled and relaunched with a new creative team due to the aforementioned ''Secret Wars'' reboot.
* Kieron Gillen's ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen2012'' had Mr. Sinister as the first villain, and he clearly had more plans in store. In the aftermath of ''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen'', Sinister revealed that he'd been posing as the X-Men's PR expert from even before Gillen's run, and he challenged Scott to stop him once Scott got out of prison -- In fact, it's implied stopping Sinister is partly why Scott decided to break out of prison. None of this is followed up on, and the next time Sinister showed up proper, he had a completely new plan involving the terrigen mists.
* ''Comicbook/XMen'' has had multiple versions of them: the Baby version of Age of Apocalypse, how Comicbook/{{Psylocke}} and ComicBook/JeanGrey switched powers, evil Nurse Annie being sold off into bondage to Elias Bogan by her evil son, Sebastian Shaw being courted by Comicbook/{{Apocalypse}}, ComicBook/{{Magneto}} joining forces with the Neo, new character Sketch being set up to join the X-Men but then falling off the face of the planet as soon as Creator/ChrisClaremont left, Comicbook/KittyPryde supposedly having some sort of connection to the Neo, the mystery mutant that was present outside the Sentinel base in Uncanny X-Men #57-59, etc. One of the most infamous examples was the "Externals" plotline from Creator/RobLiefeld's ''Comicbook/XForce''. This secretive bloodline of mutants, all possessing immortality in addition to their mutant power, were built up to be the next big thing, with two former {{Big Bad}}s revealed to be members of the group, as was a member of the team, whom the others seemed to have various vaguely-defined "plans" for. However, Liefeld left the book before he could tie up all the plot threads, and the next creative team was quick to sweep everything about this story under the rug, with one of the three established characters in the group killing all the new ones and the other two revealed to not actually be Externals anyway. This happened so suddenly that many fans pointed out the fact that the story was essentially ''Franchise/{{Highlander}}'' with the SerialNumbersFiledOff and suspected Marvel canned the story to avoid litigation, though WordOfGod assures us this was not the case. There was also a subplot during Joe Kelly's run that hinted Jean might end up transforming into the Phoenix again. Kelly left the book before this could happen, though Creator/GrantMorrison ended up bringing back Jean's Phoenix abilities in his own run. There was also a plotline, dating back to the early nineties, where Bishop referred to Jubilee as "the last X-man", but that plot line has never resurfaced again.
* The end of the ''Jean Grey'' series had the younger Jean confronted by her older, modern day self, who said she wanted to talk. This isn't followed up on: young Jean goes back to ''X-Men: Blue'' while older Jean goes to ''X-Men: Red'', and the two barely interacted afterwards before the younger Jean was sent back to her own time.
