History ComicBook / Exiles

* NoSell: Blink tries to teleport the Hulk. It doesn't work.
* NotHisSled: In their second mission, the team arrives at the [[ComicBook/TheDarkPhoenixSaga Trial of the Phoenix]] and assume that Jean Grey has just been replaced by the Phoenix. She hasn't.

** TokenGoodTeammate: While Colossus is this to Weapon X.

* InterruptedCooldownHug

* PeoplePuppets: Nocturne can possess people.

* AnyoneCanDie: One of the series highlights. In the first arc alone, one of them pulled off a HeroicSacrifice.

* FutureSlang: Franchise/Marvel2099 shows up, ridiculous slang and all.

* ForWantOfANail: Morph noted that most of the bad realities had the common thread of TheMightyThor not arriving on Earth.

* CrowningMomentofAwesome: Mimic taking out an alternate reality Captain America in the Skrull's gladitorial games in ONE HIT - JUST to piss off the Skrulls.
* CrowningMomentOfHeartWarming: Beak's reunion with his wife and children.

* BluffingTheAdvanceScout: In ''Exiles'' #54, the Timebroker sets up a chain of events that ends with a minor supervillain, feeling unappreciated, setting off a weapon that fills the Earth's atmosphere with foul-smelling gases for 72 hours. All because the Timebroker has foreseen that during those 72 hours an alien invasion fleet will arrive, scan the planet, and decide to move on to somewhere with a nicer atmosphere.
** It was a underpaid, overworked scientist who decided to use his invention to teach people a lesson. The problem was that superheroes made something that would only affect one person cover the entire planet. All for the want of a [[spoiler: a stolen Danish]]

* SendInTheClones: As mentioned on that page, one storyline featured the use of alternate reality Wolverines to deal with an alternate reality Wolverine. That and the Annual, where the Exiles find out about an alternate reality team of Exiles...

** According to the script for the unreleased Issue 7 of Exiles II, Beast was supposed to be straight, and eventually hook-up (albeit briefly) with an alternate version of Tigra. It seems his relationship with Wonder Man was put in solely for the reason of him staying with the team.

Later in the comic's run, it was taken over by ChrisClaremont. The series was shortly relaunched as "New Exiles," and Claremont kept creative duties until that title's cancellation. The series saw a (unfortunately brief) relaunch in 2009 (in the hands of Jeff Parker) that lasted from April until December of that year, but the series was canceled afterwards.

Their missions take them across a wide variety of dimensions, some of which are different takes on MarvelComics' main setting, the Marvel Universe (or Earth-616). In other cases, they visit the nooks and crannies of Marvel's long publishing history, including the NewUniverse of the 80's, and the 2099 setting (where they even recruit 2099's Spider-Man).

** Well, if one assumes that men can't have good friendships without sexualizing them that works, otherwise it doesn't seem logical. It does seem a bit cynical about men.

Currently, the series is not being published, [[TooGoodToLast and more's the pity]]. As of July 2012, it will get a "spiritual successor" in Greg Pak's X-Treme X-Men.

* HybridPower: Magnus has a distinctive combination of his parents' powers.

** According to the script for the unreleased Issue 7 of Exiles II, Beast was supposed to be straight. It seems his relationship with Wonder Man was put in solely for the reason of him staying with the team.

* RetCon: The savvy, fast-talking, clever Timebroker turns out to be a Simulacrum run by [[StarfishAliens giant insects]] who can [[FridgeLogic barely speak english]].
** Hardly a retcon, the Timebroker has always been a simulacrum, he said so in his first appearance that he was constructed by the subconcious minds of the Exiles, and was the only ready interface the Timebreakers could use to interact with the team.
** The crystal palace, according to Claremont, is an [[{{CanonDiscontinuity}} evolved, sentient Kang the Conqueror]].
*** Actually, it was Jeff Parker's run that came with this idea, not Chris Claremont's.

* BigBad: First Hyperion, later Proteus.

* RememberWhenYouBlewUpASun: An early story has a running gag where the Exiles and Alpha Flight, while fighting the Hulk, joke about how [[FantasticFour The Invisible Woman]] beat him once and never shuts up about it.

* CompleteMonster: Hyperion.
** The alternate Iron Man seen in the "With An Iron Fist" storyarc takes this {{Up To Eleven}}.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Blink from AgeOfApocalypse was finally brought back in this comic, due to fan demand.
** Even further back, she was originally a character in the Phalanx Covenant crossover event that lead up to Generation X. Her main role there was to die before being brought back in AgeOfApocalypse.
** Morph has all but completely displaced the original 616 version of the character. It's no real shock that Morph and Blink are pretty much the only permanent members of the Exiles team.

* SeasonalRot: A fair number of fans disliked Chris Claremont's run, especially how Psylocke was shoe-horned into the team, taking the leadership role away from Blink almost automatically.
** Psylocke couldn't take something that didn't belong to Blink at the time. Sabretooth was the Exiles leader, ever since the original series run, and it even involved him and Mimic butting heads over the fact.

* TooGoodToLast: Sadly, Jeff Parker's well written run did only last 6 issues.

* WrenchWench: Kat Pryde
