Funny / Dark X-Men (2023)

• The prologue back-up story with Havok having to play Beleaguered Bureaucrat^note Continuing a Brick Joke of Madelyne doing the same in Amazing Spider-Man Annual (2023) to a flood of obscure, one-hit-wonder mutant-villains seeking entry (plus an emo-teen trying to run away from home), while Maddie's routine is having to regularly crush demon rebellions and then returning covered with demon blood and body parts.
  • In a single panel, Cyclops — Maddie's ex-husband, remember — tries to passive-aggressively convince Alex to come back to Krakoa... and away from Maddie. With one word, Jean silences him and reminds Scott to stop disputing Alex's choices.
  • The Mastermind sisters casually stating they're only at the embassy because Maddie invited them for brunch.
