!!''The X-Men and the Micronauts'' includes the following tropes:
* BigBad: The Entity, which has huge telepathic powers and can annihilate entire worlds within the Microverse. [[spoiler:It's a personification of Charles Xavier's dark side]].
* FreakyFridayFlip: Kitty Pride tries to phase through Baron Karza, which goes horribly wrong. Her mind ends up in Karza's body, while his ends up in hers. But Karza ''also'' retains mental control of his armor, so Kitty's initially left as a [[PeoplePuppets People Puppet]] who can't even speak.
* HowDoIShotWeb: Karza may be in Kitty's body, but he doesn't know how to control her phasing powers.
* MindControl: Given the nature of the enemy, there is a ''lot'' of mind control in the series.
** The Entity's Microverse army is composed of mind controlled troops.
** The Micronauts and the X-Men both fall under the Entity's control at various points.
** Back on Earth, the ComicBook/NewMutants also fall prey to the Entity's mind control.
* PeoplePuppet:
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:The Entity isn't a telepathic enemy trying to take control of Xavier, it ''is'' Xavier]].
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Baron Karza's armor is almost invulnerable, so he doesn't bother dodging Wolverine's claws. A very painful mistake.
