Berserk Button needs to be an unreasonable response to something and not understandable. Mystique/Annette abandoned her family and Taylor's got a lot of personal baggage. Both Danny and Taylor's anger is understandable and their responses aren't too violent, so it doesn't count for this trope.

Over Christmas Break, Taylor's Mutant Powers activate, giving her [[TouchOfDeath Rogue's]] [[PowerParasite powers]]. Then the locker incident goes pear-shaped when Sophia and Emma get knocked unconscious by skin-to-skin contact with Taylor.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Sending ''Sabertooth of all people'' to get Wolverine's daughter enrolled at Clarendon turns out to be a bad idea.
