- Designated Hero: Sabretooth, the serial killer, pulling a Heel–Face Turn and becoming an X-Man. It seems the X-Men will overlook anything if it means avenging a teammate. Likewise, his lover Mystique, the murderer, also becoming an X-Man.
- Die for Our Ship: Crazy enough as it is, Jean and Logan's love story is kiboshed as soon as it's introduced so Claremont can pair Jean up with Hank.
- Narm: It's hard to take one of the main villains very hard when she's called "Ziggy". Technically, her full name is the much less goofy Siegfried, but everyone in the story calls her Ziggy...
- Protection from Editors: Being an Alternate Universe gives Claremont a lot more freedom than he ever enjoyed on shared universe titles, and he takes full advantage. It leads to Fridge Logic with the "this is the story Claremont would have told in 1991" aspect; there are changes to the wider Marvel universe that it's unlikely he'd have been allowed to do at the time. Or, indeed at any time in the mainstream Marvel continuity — no editor, for instance, would ever have greenlit Claremont's killing off Tony Stark and making it permanent.
- So Okay, It's Average: The general consensus of the series.
