* CloningGambit: It's revealed that Sinister once created a clone from his original, baseline human DNA as part of a plan to take down Apocalypse (he needed a body without Apocalypse's genetic meddling). He spliced in some DNA from Cyclops, believing that the Summers genes would ensure awesome superpowers. He was right; the clone would grow up to be, ironically enough, [[spoiler:Gambit]].
* GainaxEnding: After seventeen issues of wrapping up forty years' worth of loose ends and providing a conclusive ending to the story of the X-Men in a big battle royale, the series randomly ends with several X-Men [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence gaining godhood]] without any forewarning. Oh, and Kitty Pryde becoming President of the US and giving a speech to the surviving X-Men, but that one ''was'' foreshadowed, with her narration having been present from the start.

''X-Men: The End'' is a series of comics produced by Creator/MarvelComics, depicting a hypothetical final adventure for the titular X-Men, written by uber-X-Men writer Creator/ChrisClaremont, with Sean Chen on art.
Unlike most of Marvel's other "The End" instalments, which are either a one-shot or a miniseries, the X-Men get three miniseries dedicated to their exploits, which are labelled:
* Vol 1: Dreamers & Demons (August - December 2004)
* Vol 2: Heroes & Martyrs (March - August 2005)
* Vol 3: Men & X-Men (January - June 2006)
Some twenty years into the future, and the X-Men are shocked when one of their own thought long dead returns. And that person is none other than Jean Grey. But the shock of this surprise is soon followed when their many adversaries decide that now, once and for all, they are going to bring an end to the X-Men.
Also, a few years later, there were two follow-up series called ''Genext'', which focus on the exploits of some of the children of the X-Men introduced in this series.
!!Tropes found in these series include:
* ArtShift: Rogue starts flatlining from stress and injuries. Beast and Cecilia Reyes try to provide medical aid, as Cecilia wonders why Rogue is smiling. We see things from her perspective, and it's because everything's gone all chibi.
* BabiesEverAfter: Of the X-Men who live to the end of the final volume, most of them are shown to be married and with kids in the future.
* {{Bowdlerization}}: Kitty's narration has her cite the time she dropped the N-word in ''God Loves, Man Kills'', but leaves out Kitty using the word again (which apart from real life reasons might be because she's a sitting president giving an address).
* DeadGuyJunior: Goes around.
** Scott and Emma named one of their children after Havok, long dead in this timeline.
** Nightcrawler and Kymri named one of their children Cerise.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Not everyone gets a stirring death in the limelight. And somewhat suspiciously, a lot of characters Claremont didn't create have it happen to them.
** [[spoiler:Irene Merriweather turns out to have been the host of Apocalypse all along, somehow. Then Apocalypse himself is easily defeated and killed by Khan's goons.]]
