* TheNineties: The first two issues are heavily done in the style of the '90s, since that's when the story was originally set to take place. The narration is very nineties and the art by Brett Booth -- an artist who already heavily leans into 90s aesthetics -- further highlights this.



* AdamAndOrEve: Adam was born in a Shi'ar birthing pod labeled "Adam"...and there appears to be ''another'' birthing pod labeled "Eve." So there might be a Summers' ''sister'', too.

* AbortedArc: The book is actually meant to avert this by taking a previous aborted arc (Adam as the third Summers' brother) and letting the author of the original arc (Fabian Nicieza) finally finish it.

The first two issues are called "The Burning Blood" and are written by Fabian Nicieza, with art by Brett Booth, and finally tells the tale of Adam-X, the so-called "third Summers brother." It begins with the Shi'ar known as Erik the Red kidnapping Cyclops and Havok's grandparents and insisting that they bring "the Forsaken One" to him so that the "burning blood" might ignite "the light of M'Kraan." Little do Cyclops and Havok know that the "Forsaken One" is Adam-X and that he actually related to them...

!Tropes in ''X-Men Legends'':

* TheNineties: The first two issues are heavily done in the style of the '90s, since that's when the story was originally set to take place.
* AdamAndOrEve: Adam was born in a Shi'ar birthing pod labeled "Adam"...and there appears to be ''another'' birthing pod labeled "Eve." So there might be a Summers' ''sister'', too.
* BrokenRecord: The Shi'ar soldiers Erik the Red commands all repeat "By the light of M'Kraan" over and over again. Xavier even says that he can't penetrate their minds because they have been programmed to simply repeat the chant over and over again.
* ContinuityNod:
** The first two issues are set after [[https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/X-Men_Vol_2_39 X-Men #39]], the events of which get referenced. Adam also references the events of [[https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Captain_Marvel_Vol_3_3 Captain Marvel (vol 3) #3]]. Both of those issues also happened to be written by Nicieza.

* HornsOfVillainy: Erik the Red sports a massive set of red horns.
* HostageSituation: The first issue begins with Erik the Red kidnapping Cyclops and Havok's grandparents and leaving a note (in Shi'ar) saying that in order to get them back, they need to give him "the Forsaken One."
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: When Cable shows up, he tells Adam, "I thought both of us had gotten over our...''extreme'' phase?" Because it's no longer the '90s, even if the story is set in that era.
* LetsYouAndHimFight: Averted at first with Cable, who only comes to talk with Adam and asks Adam to go and see Cyclops and Havok. Once Cyclops and Havok show up, however, and tell him about Erik the Red's plan, Adam decides not to go with them and a three-way melee ensues.
* LongLostRelative: This is the comic that finally reveals Adam-X to be the third Summers' brother. [[ComicBook/XMenDeadlyGenesis Or fourth, depending.]]
* MyBloodRunsHot: Adam can not just ignite the blood in others, but also in ''himself''. This provides a temporary power boost (somehow), but also is intensely draining, so he doesn't like doing it.
* SavageSpikedWeapons: Adam-X wields a set of spiked gauntlets, so that he can cut people and then ignite their blood.
