* InNameOnly: A few series are only tangentially related to the older ones that they are supposedly based on. For an example, the original ''Zombie'' comics are about a business executive named Simon Garth being turned into a VoodooZombie by a vengeful cult. The MAX run is set in a more mundane world and is about a bank employee named Simon Garth dealing with a science-based ZombieApocalypse (though Garth eventually does become an atypical zombie himself).

* BleachedUnderpants:
** ''Fury: Peacemaker'', a bit of a [[StealthSequel stealth prequel]] to ''Fury'', was released through the Marvel Knights imprint, instead of MAX.
** ''Apache Skies'' was preceded by ''Blaze of Glory'', while ''Rawhide Kid: Slap Leather'' and ''War is Hell: The First Flight of the Phantom Eagle'' were proceeded by ''Rawhide Kid: The Sensational Seven'' and ''Where Monsters Dwell'', respectively. None of these were MAX.

* DisownedAdaptation: Writer and editor Creator/StanLee, who co-created many of Marvel's most famous characters, stated that he didn't understand why Marvel was creating MAX versions of the comics.
--> '''Stan Lee:''' I don't know why they're doing that. I don't think that I would do those kinds of stories.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Daniel Way was working on MAX ''ComicBook/AntMan'' and ''ComicBook/{{Deathlok}}'' series, but both were cancelled before publication.
** ''ComicBook/{{NYX}}'' and the Frank Cho run of ''ComicBook/ShannaTheSheDevil'' were both reportedly intended to be MAX titles before they were repositioned under other imprints.
** Creator/JamesGunn pitched a Marvel MAX revival of the ''ComicBook/PowerPack''. The series would've dealt with the now-adult members of the team, who would have been screwed up due to their insane childhoods.
** Creator/WarrenEllis worked on a Marvel MAX ''ComicBook/{{Satana}}'' series. Two issues were almost completed before the project was cancelled before publication, with the first issue fully illustrated and lettered. The first arc was rewritten for a different protagonist and a different publisher, becoming ''Strange Kiss'', the Avatar Press limited series that launched ''ComicBook/{{Gravel}}''. The unfinished ''Satana'' work was eventually printed as a bonus feature in Marvel's ''ComicBook/{{Hellstorm}}'' omnibus, revealing scenes and dialogue that were [[RecycledScript directly reused]] for ''Strange Kiss'' with very few changes.
