There's more to [[MarvelUniverse the universe]] than we know. There are hundreds, thousands, perhaps infinite versions of reality, each branching off from choices that were made differently, from events that had different outcomes. In one world, a familiar [[ComicBook/IronMan superhero]] became a world-wrecking dictator. In yet another, the man who we've all known as [[TheParagon the champion of superhuman equality]] instead became [[OmnicidalManiac the most feared mutant on the planet]].

Unlike many popular comics, this series stays surprisingly true to AnyoneCanDie. Much more often than not, a character's death is irreversible. At least in the earlier parts of the series, whenever a character would die, he'd get a replacement, one with a similar class of powers (substituting Sasquatch for [[spoiler:Thunderbird]], for instance). This was balanced by the fact that at least some of the characters got happy endings, either in the form of permanent vacation or being able to go back to their home realities and pick up their lives where they left off.

Their missions take them across a wide variety of dimensions, some of which are different takes on Creator/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 ComicBook/TheNewUniverse of the 80's, and the 2099 setting (where they even recruit 2099's Spider-Man).

Unlike many popular comics, this series stays surprisingly true to AnyoneCanDie. Much more often than not, a character's death is irreversible, and some of the partings are [[TearJerker especially moving]]. At least in the earlier parts of the series, whenever a character would die, he'd get a replacement, one with a similar class of powers (substituting Sasquatch for [[spoiler:Thunderbird]], for instance). This was balanced by the fact that at least some of the characters got happy endings, either in the form of permanent vacation or being able to go back to their home realities and pick up their lives where they left off.

* CrapsackWorld: Several of the realities the teams visit suck. Whether the team's mission involves making that better or worse tends to vary.
** The first world they're sent to went on a zero-tolerance policy against all superbeings decades ago.
** One is a variant of ''Days of Future Past''.
** The Lizard America reality, where thanks to Doc Conners deciding to turn other people into lizards, near all of the Northern American east coast has been overrun by savage lizard-people.
** The world of "Iron Dominion'', thanks to that world's Iron Man manipulating everyone and everything so he can rule the place. Most of the world is a wreck, either culturally or environmentally, between two super-human wars, a plague Tony engineered, and a few artificially designed natural disasters.

In 2018, ''Exiles'' was relaunched with a new team and concept. Written by Creator/SaladinAhmed (''ComicBook/BlackBolt'') with art by Javier Rodriguez (''ComicBook/SpiderWoman''), the series follows the Unseen (a.k.a. the original ComicBook/NickFury) leading a team comprised of popular mainstay Blink, [[ComicBook/YoungAvengers Iron Lad]], an older version of [[ComicBook/MsMarvel2014 Kamala Khan]] from a {{bad future}}, the chibi-fied Wolverine from X-Babies, and a version of ComicBook/{{Valkyrie|Marvel Comics}} inspired by Creator/TessaThompson's portrayal of the character in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse.

* BadFuture: In ''Exiles #12'' (2018), the rogue Watchers trap the teammates in their own individual darkest timelines.
** T'challa is sent to a timeline where Wakanda was conquered by Ulysses Klaw, among the victims being the Dora Milaje and T'challa's sister Shuri.
** Captain Peggy Carter's bad timeline is one where Baron Zemo defeats her and uses her blood to create an army of Nazi supersoldiers, easily conquering the world.
** Becky Barnes is trapped in a timeline where she never got in the Army, and is a meek closeted housewife to an abusive husband.
** Valkyrie's bad future is Ragnarok, where Surtur arrives, overpowers all of Asgard's forces, and kills everyone in the realm.
** Blink is sent back to the Age of Apocalypse timeline from which she came.
** Iron Lad is sent to the future where he becomes Kang the Conqueror. [[spoiler:And to rescue his teammates, he's forced to remain trapped in that timeline forever.]]
** [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Wolvie's darkest timeline]] [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DxscLbIVsAANfa2.jpg is literally just]] the 90s ''WesternAnimation/XMen'' cartoon, which he finds too violent and intense for a child like him. At least he likes [[EarWorm the theme song]], though.



* BrickJoke: In issue 4, Mimic mentions that during the time the ''Dark Phoenix Saga'' was taking place on his Earth, he was with the Champions (and doesn't think highly of his time there due to an awful costume). Later on in the issue, Wolverine mistakes him for his counterpart, and asks about the Champions, and what's up with Mimic's new costume.



* {{Crossover}}: ''X-Men: Die by the Sword'', a crossover with the just-ended ''New Excalibur'', taking place between issues 99 and 100, wrapping up a few plot threads from the prior series.



* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: The Time-Eater has the power of many Galactuses and he has already devoured several multiverses in his bid to become God. Blink gives him a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, by finding an army of alternate Blinks and various friends she met and having all these individuals gang up on the Time-Eater. The Exiles actually had a harder time fighting the Juggernautical in a prior issue.



* DramaticIrony: In the last issue before Claremont took over, the issue alternates between the team's monitoring Thunderbird in his coma, and what he's dreaming of. They assume he's suffering nightmares, but he's actually dreaming about the team celebrating the birth of Nocturne's baby.



* FantasticRacism: In the first reality the team visits, humanity long ago developed a complete zero-tolerance policy to any and all superpowered beings and locked them all up.



* HijackingCthulhu: In the 2018 series, [[spoiler: Kang is the BigBad as the Time-Eater, a being capable of consuming whole timelines, by cannibalizing power from Galactus, probably multiple parallel versions.]]



* {{Irony}}: The Terrax of Skrull-Earth is done in by the very people he's helped free.



* PlanetOfHats: One reality the team visits is one where everyone's a Hulk.



* TheQuisling: In the first reality the team visits, Forge helped the government imprison all superhumans. Everyone is pissed because despite their different realities, he was an ally in theirs.



* TeethClenchedTeamwork: The Exiles and one reality's Doctor Doom, who is typically Doom-y about needing help when Namor invades Latveria.



* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: The V-Locks started when Doug Ramsey of the New Mutants caught the Legacy Virus. Warlock tried to save his best friend by merging with him. Unfortunately, the virus and Warlock's technarx biology made a ''very'' bad mix...



* TheWorfEffect: The Time-Eater has killed Galactus on many different alternate realities and stole his powers, which he then uses to consume whole multiverses. A being like that, you'd think would be highly invulnerable, but that's not the case and he gets the crap kicked out of him by an army of Blinks and some friends.

** [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Wolvie's darkest timeline]] is literally just the 90s ''WesternAnimation/XMen'' cartoon, which he finds too violent and intense for a child like him. At least he likes [[EarWorm the theme song]], though.

* DoppelgangerGetsSameSentiment: In their first mission as a team, they nearly failed in their mission because they assumed that the 'teacher' they had to help was the local Charles Xavier, only learning after they released him from prison that this version of Xavier was a villain. This twist led to the team's decision to make Blink- who originated from the ComicBook/AgeOfApocalypse reality- to be the team leader, as she would be less likely to fall victim to this as her reality was so distant from the realities of the other members that she would likely have less of an attachment to the counterparts of the heroes-turned-villains they might face.

* TheWorfEffect: The Time-Eater has killed Galactus on many different alternate realities and stole his powers, which he then uses to consume whole multiverses. A being like that, you'd think would be highly invulnerable, but that's not the case and he gets the crap kicked out of him by an army of Blinks and some friends.

* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: The Time-Eater has the power of many Galactuses and he has already devoured several multiverses in his bid to become God. Blink gives him a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, by finding an army of alternate Blinks and various friends she met and having all these individuals gang up on the Time-Eater. The Exiles actually had a harder time fighting the Juggernautical in a prior issue.
