** Played straight with poor Doug Ramsay. Of all of the members of the New Mutants, Doug had the "lamest" of the powers, being able to comprehend and speak any language. Thus, him dying wouldn't hurt the team power-wise but would give them motivation later on. Thankfully, Doug would be VindicatedByHistory years later and resurrected with a new spin on his powers.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Like ''Mutant Massacre'', it was an early example of the more iconic crossover event. However, they were still working out the logistics of it all, still retaining the ThreeLinesSomeWaiting aspect of the previous storyline, but streamlining it just a little more. The next storyline, ''ComicBook/{{Inferno|1988}}'' would become the TropeCodifier for events like this.
* FakingTheDead: An interesting variant. The X-Men are killed by Forge using them as means to seal away the Adversary but are later resurrected by Roma. Instead of showing back up to the world alive and well, the team decides to use them and their new invisibility to electronics to strike at their enemies.

* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: The X-Franchise goes through major changes starting with this event, many of which still has effects to this day. The X-Men participating in the fight in Dallas are presumed dead to the world and stay that way for years, Angel's transformation into Archangel sticks around for many years, even alternating between Angel and Archangel, and Doug's death ends the innocence that the New Mutants had.
