** Subverted in issue #25; after the X-Men are arrested for assaulting police officers (they were fighting the Brotherhood but Mesmero had manipulated the minds of onlookers to see them as cops), they later take on an alien god-being Scythian, stopping him from destroying Paris. As a result the charges are promptly dropped and Lydia Nance's proposed Mutant Deportation Bill, which seemed all but unstoppable a few issues before, has stalled in Congress. Played straight with the warden of the mutant prison where the X-Men were held who's still openly bigoted.

After a fraught number of years for the X-Men, including [[ComicBook/ExtraordinaryXMen near-extinction]], as well as wars with both ComicBook/TheAvengers ''and'' ComicBook/TheInhumans, mutantkind has reached a livable point of stability. While still hated and feared by the larger world, the X-Men find themselves in a unique position to fully take advantage of their new lease on life.

!! ''X-Men: Gold'' contains examples of the following tropes:
* AuthorTract: Indonesian artist Ardian Syaf, a public supporter of the movement to have the Christian governor of Jakarta province removed on blasphemy grounds, inserted references to the movement in the form of the number 212[[note]]Referencing the protests themselves[[/note]] and the Qur'an verse [=QS5:51=][[note]]A controversial statement with multiple translations, but used by the movement to claim Muslims should not be governed by Christians or Jews[[/note]] in the artwork of issue 1. Syaf later confirmed the intent of these references on social media, leading to immediate backlash. [[RoleEndingMisdemeanor He was sacked.]]
* TheBusCameBack: Stevie Hunter -- who was introduced as Kitty's dance instructor in 1980-- makes her first appearance in over twenty-five years with issue #9, where it's explained that she's since become a congresswoman in the US House of Representatives.
** During that same arc, 90s villain Omega Red also returns after a long absence.
** Kitty herself returning to the X-Men also counts as this trope, since she previously spent about two years with the ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy as ex-fiancee ComicBook/StarLord's replacement.
* CallBack:
** Issue #1 reveals they'll be encountering the original ComicBook/GenerationX.
** In issue #3, [[spoiler:Bastion]] returns, having survived his apparent death by [[spoiler:Hope Summers]].
* EasterEgg: The artist of #1, Ardian Syaf, included 212 and QS 5:51 in the artwork. Unbeknownst to Creator/{{Marvel}}, these were references to a passage from the Quran that can be interpreted as meaning that Muslims shouldn't be led by non-Muslims, and a situation in Indonesia where a non-Muslim had been elected in the majority Muslim country. Once Marvel found out, they immediately announced that the digital version, subsequent printings, and collected edition would be edited to delete these references, and that disciplinary action will be taken, resulting in Syaf's termination of his contract. Full explanations [[https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/04/08/marvel-artist-ardian-syaf-hid-anti-christian-jewish-messages-weeks-x-men-comic/ here]] and [[https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/04/09/ardian-syaf-tries-to-explain-what-happened-yesterday/ here]].
* GilliganCut: In Issue #11, Kitty devises a plan to rescue Illyana from Russian mobsters using her magic to restore Omega Red. Nightcrawler and Colossus take out the mobsters who were holding Illyana hostage:
-->'''Nightcrawler''': Katzchen's plan worked.\\
'''Colossus''': They usually do.
--->''(cut to Kitty and Logan up against Omega Red)''
-->'''Kitty''': Why can't my plans ever work?
* IAlwaysWantedToSayThat: Kitty Pryde rallies the team together with the words, "To me, my X-Men!"
-->'''Logan:''' You always wanted to say that, didn't you?\\
'''Kitty:''' Like you have no idea.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Issue one finally clarifies why, out of all enhanced human flavors in the Marvel universe, mutants are given special exception to be targeted by FantasticRacism. A currently unidentified woman explains in a news report that they're the only group where a PersonOfMassDestruction could spontaneously develop from anyone at anytime.
* RealityEnsues: In the first issues of Prime, Kitty had Illyana move the X-Mansion into Central Park. Come the first issue of Gold, after signing phone books of paperwork, she's later given an invoice for ''18 million dollars'' to stay as it is the most valuable real estate in New York after all.
* RedSkiesCrossover: Almost literally in the ''ComicBook/SecretEmpire'' arc. Though it's billed as a tie-in, the connection to that story is fairly tangential, and the unusual color of the sky in the distance is seen & noted by characters.
* RetCanon: The old-school X-Men villain Mesmero makes a minor appearance, with a redesign lifted wholesale from his appearance in ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution''.
* UnderwearOfPower: Kitty Pryde, Storm, Colossus bring the style back as the X-Men start to focus on being heroes.
* UngratefulBastard: True to form, after rescuing a skyscraper of people the X-Men are met with bitter stares from them. A little girl is admonished by her mother for responding to [[ItIsDehumanizing "it"]] when asked if anyone's okay.
* WorkingWithTheEx: Kitty has made it clear to Colossus that while she will always care about him she has moved on and is not interested in resuming their old romance. As of issue #11, [[spoiler:Kitty and Peter appear to have reconciled.]]
