** ComicBook/XMen: What is Xavier's Last Will and Testament? [[spoiler: Xavier, at one point, made out his will to give his possessions to his wife... Mystique?! The true sin, however, is that he liberally "lobotomized" a young mutant to protect others due to the fact that he was so powerful that his powers were so out of control that he refused to give him to S.H.I.E.L.D. or Captain America, as they wouldn't help him at all.]]

* CrazyPrepared: It appears that NickFury fits this more than anyone ever knew: [[spoiler:so much that he didn't even appear in person at all during the modern age]].

* TheWatcher: ''[[TropeCodifier The]]'' Watcher is the central focus. One of the questions asked by the solicits is, without him there, who will watch the Marvel Universe? [[spoiler:Ultimately, NickFury, who [[SuicideByCop killed]] Uatu to begin with, is forced to take up the role as "the Unseen" as punishment for his actions.]]

* TakeUpMySword: The reason why Scott Lang, Emma Frost, the Punisher, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Moon Knight, Bucky, and Gamora were chosen: [[spoiler: the real Nick Fury's dying and he wants someone else to take up his mission to protect the world from alien invaders by any means necessary.]]

* StartOfDarkness: One of the planned storylines is diving into the mysterious past of Deadpool.

* WalkingSpoiler: Uatu's death, natch.

** ComicBook/FantasticFour: Johnny Storm broke a device that could have cured Ben Grimm of his Thing form. Why couldn't it be rebuilt? [[spoiler:Johnny had randomly wandered into the machine, throwing everything off. It could only be used once because the radiation in Ben was changing]]
** ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy: Why were Star-Lord and Thanos able to leave the Cancerverse after ''ComicBook/TheThanosImperative'' and the previous Nova, Richard Rider, wasn't?

* MythologyGag: Iron Man being involved in the creation of the Hulk was previously used in the ''Heroes Reborn'' storyline, [[spoiler: though in a much more benevolent way here.]]

* ShownTheirWork: Many readers did take notice and was happy with how writer Mark Waid handled [[spoiler:the revelation of Matt Murdock's mother abandoning him due to the poorly-diagnosed postpartum depression, mostly due to the fact that that was unfortunately how it was handled back in the 70s - with just a shrug and "You'll get over it."]]

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In the ''Invaders'' tie-in, it's revealed that the Invaders had a chance to defeat Japan without dropping the Atom Bombs, but chose not to go through with it. The eventual explanation given is that [[spoiler: Golden Girl and the Kid Commandos purposefully sabotaged the plan, as it would've endangered the lives of a bunch of native islanders living near the Japanese coast. The plan's failure is what led to President Truman's decision to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki, resulting in far more civilian deaths than would have occurred had Golden Girl not interfered]]. Radiance, Golden Girl's granddaughter, goes berserk when she learns this.

* UnusualChapterNumbers: Not the main series but the tie-in minies. Those are named like ''Original Sin X.Y'', where Y is the normal issue number in the mini nothing to see there, but X is generally ''not'' the issue they come after in the event, but the one they come after in the series they tie into. So ''Original Sin 5.1'' doesn't comes after ''Original Sin'' 5, it comes after '''Comicbook/LokiAgentOfAsgard''' 5.

** ComicBook/{{Thor}}: What does Angela have to do with Thor? And what is the Tenth Realm? [[spoiler:Angela is Thor's older sister and her real name is Aldrif. The Tenth realm is populated with angelic beings who once waged war against Asgard and raised Angela as one of their own.]]
