* FaceHeelTurn: In issue #12, we're reintroduced to 3D-Man, who has joined Orchis. It's revealed that he's become TheResenter after murdering the Skrull known as Crusader, suggesting he's taken a NeverMyFault attitude over it and thinks they were ungrateful. [[spoiler:Ultimatly {{subverted|trope}} in issue #13, as it's revealed he was planted as an undercover agent by the Black Panther, with his memory altered so as to sell him as an "embittered ex-Avenger".]]

** 3D-Man's FaceHeelTurn is because of him being bitter about getting expelled from the Avengers for murdering Crusader way back in ''ComicBook/AvengersTheInitiative''.

* PagmaticVillainy: [[spoiler:Nightmare wants to help the Avengers against an oncoming threat because if the world is destroyed, he'll have no mortal emotions to feed on.]]

* RelocatingTheExplosion: In the first issue, [[spoiler:after Terminus damages the Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. black-hole reactor, Carol flies it into space so that the Scarlet Witch can contain the blast without the project's magnetic fields interfering with her magic. However, that means Carol's also at ground zero when it explodes]]...

-->'''Iron Man:''' So. You know how [[ComicBook/FallOfX Orchis crushed Krakoa and scattered all the mutants]]? You know how they cozied up to Earth's governments and made themselves the good guys? You know how I asked you all, I '''begged''' you all, to let me take point on this, to stay your hand, to let me work with the mutants and get all of our ducks in a row? [[ComicBook/InvincibleIronMan2022 How they took my technology and built Sentinels with it]]. You know how I asked you to wait for the word, to wait until I said "Go" before the Avengers [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge punch back]]. Well. The ducks are in a row. And I'm saying it now so we can all here it: '' '''[[PreAsskickingOneLiner "Go."]]''' ''

** 3D-Man, formerly Triathalon, returns in #12 after last being seen in ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion''.

* SupermanStaysOutOfGotham: The Avengers are this for the X-Men, as the team is initially not involved in the concurrent events of ''Fall of X''. This is because Tony, as Carol's appointed XO, has been advising her to keep the team out of the Mutant-Orchis for the immediate moment. As he's closely tied into the conflict over in his book, Tony knows the stakes and that the Avengers ''will'' be needed to help the Mutants stop Orchis. But with all the coordination between the disparate Mutant teams and the forces and resources arrayed against them, Tony's carefully building to that and has to wait until conditions are right. Thus, Carol very reluctantly agrees to keep the team out of the conflict for just a little while longer.

* CruelMercy: ''Avengers'' #10. [[spoiler:Myrddin leaves Kang alive, deciding it's amusing and a worthwhile challenge to have a fellow chrononaut competing to reach the Missing Moment first. But the price for leaving Kang alive is erasing all his memories and knowledge of the quest and the Tribulations to come he's accumulated since ''Timeless'' -- thus depriving the Avengers of the tactical advantage they were enjoying up to this point. ]]
