History ComicBook / HouseOfXCII

** In issue #2, during a flashback to [[spoiler:Jubilee's]] earlier lives, a young Apocalypse (who is the Evan Sabahnur from ''Uncanny X-Force'') and Wild Thing (Rina Logan, from the ComicBook/MC2 continuity) are seen.

* TheCameo: Numerous Marvel heroes show up at the Inner Circle Gala, including Spider-Man, Hulk, Ghost Rider, Daredevil, the Avengers, the Fantastic Four and Luke Cage.

* IChooseToStay: Much like the end of ''X of Swords'', Apocalypse chooses to stay with Genesis on Polemachus.

** G.W. Bridge's profile mentions he hates Cable for undisclosed reasons. In the comics, Cable is responsible for his paralysis, and it rather effectively ruined their friendship.

** Apocalypse is slightly more in line with his Krakoa-era personality, rather than the straight up OmnicidalManiac of the cartoon.

** In one of the timelines, one of the remaining mutants is [[ComicBook/MarvelComics2 Wild Thing]], the daughter of Wolverine and Elektra.

** Hope, Tempus, Egg, and Elixir of the Five, who use AbilityMixing to resurrect dead mutants, are replaced by Fabian Cortez, Tempo, Karma and Healer, with Proteus the only member who plays the same role in the main Franchise/MarvelUniverse Earth-616 version of the story.

* AdaptedOut: Characters who had not debuted at the time of the 1992 cartoon are not the core cast for this series, making things like the roster of ''The Five'' vastly different.

** [[spoiler: Jubilee has the abilities of Moira X. She also doubles as Destiny's role as she's someone who should be on Krakoa, but actions refuse her to be there.]]

** [[spoiler:As the Age of Apocalypse never happened in this canon, Beast, who is killed on Arakko, is reborn as the Dark Beast]].

* IChooseToStay: Much like the end of X of Swords, Apocalypse chooses to stay with Genesis on Polemachus.

* PaintItBlack: One of the changes from being resurrected after dying on Arakko is usually a darker color scheme. Solarr gets lunar motifs and Beast gets the same palette as Dark Beast.

* MythologyGag: Quite a few in issue #4:
** The Marvel Super Heroes who show up at the Inner Circle Gala are all designed like if they were still in the 90's (the Hulk is in his Professor form, Thor resembles his Eric Masterson design, the Vision is in his White Vision look, Luke Cage is wearing his ''Cage'' outfit, Thing is wearing the helmet he wore after his tumble with Wolverine, etc.)
** When Hulk and Wolverine trade jabs at each other, Spider-Man and Ghost Rider are with them, a nod to the All-New Fantastic Four.
** Both Forge ''and'' Black Panther ask Storm for a dance.
** When Firestar laments losing joining the X-Men, Spidey and Iceman, her ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAndHisAmazingFriends'' co-stars, reassure her.

** Hope, Tempus, Egg, and Elixir of ''The Five'' who use AbilityMixing to resurrect dead mutants are replaced by Fabian Cortez, Tempo, Karma and Healer, with Proteus the only member who plays the same role in the main Franchise/MarvelUniverse Earth-616 version of the story.
** Bolivar Trask, Donald Pierce, and Lady Deathstrike are members of Orchis. Whereas in ''ComicBook/XMen2021'' it's revealed that the Franchise/MarvelUniverse Earth-616 Deathstrike is a prisoner of Orchis, not a member.

** Random and Feral join the X-men and not only were they not elected in the Hellfire Gala in the comics, they've never been X-men at all.

''X-Men '92: House of XCII'' is a comic series published by Creator/MarvelComics, a spiritual sequel to ''ComicBook/Xmen92'' that blends the aesthetic and tone of the 1992 WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries with the [[ComicBook/XMenTheKrakoanAge Krakoan Age]] that began with ComicBook/HouseAndPowersOfX. It began in April 2022 under writer Steve Fox, artist Salva Espin, and colorist Israel Silva.

As of June 2022, the comic is positioned purely as a version of the ''X-Men: The Animated Series'' setting, with no suggestion that it's connected to the usual Franchise/MarvelUniverse comic continuity as an AlternateUniverse.

!! Tropes of XCII

* FakingTheDead: [[spoiler:Jubilee was supposedly killed by a sentinel attack before there were Cerebro back ups, making her resurrection impossible. Wolverine takes this the hardest. Turns out she used a teleporter to fake her death]].

** The Dark Riders here are comprised of [[spoiler:Dark Beast, Four-Arms, Solarr, Silver Samurai and Sabretooth]].

YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:Tired of ORCHIS' failures and the death of Lady Deathstrike, Trask realizes that ORCHIS itself is a failure and that mutants will be superior to humans. Thus, he murders the entire circle and decides ''machines'' must rule]].

** While The Inner Circle (this story’s version of the Quiet Council) still has Charles, Magneto, Apocalypse, Mister Sinister, Mystique, Storm, Jean Grey and Emma Frost as members, Nightcrawler, Kate Pryde, Sebastian Shaw and Exodus are not members. Cyclops replaces Nightcrawler on the Summer seat, Archangel and Callisto replace Kate & Shaw on the Spring seats and Omega Red takes Exodus's Winter seat. When Cyclops and Jean Grey step down to lead the X-Men, Sunspot and Mirage replace them, Madame Web replaces Apocalypse and Beast (now Dark Beast) replaces Archangel.

* TheCameo: Numerous Marvel heroes show up at the Inner Circle Gala, including Spider-Man, Hulk, Ghost Rider, Daredevil, the Avengers, the Fantastic Four and Luke Cage. For added MythologyGag-ness, many of the heroes are in their '90s look (Professor Hulk, Thing wearing his helmet, Thor with the Eric Masterson gear, White Vision, etc.)

* TakeThat: In issue #4, Xavier goes to approach the Fantastic Four wanting to talk about Franklin. Reed ''immediately'' holds his hand out to cut him off, a jab at the events spanning from ''ComicBook/FantasticFourDanSlott''.

* {{Retraux}}: Fitting the time period, Hickman's data pages are adapted as print media fixtures of that time. Arkon gets one that's designed like an entry out of a Dungeons and Dragons guidebook, the match up between the Krakoans and Arakkii is illustrated as a character select screen from an arcade fighting game, and the Hellfire Gala (called the Inner Circle Gala here) is presented as the cover of a celebrity news magazine.

* MagicPants: Instead of being naked and censored by goo, resurrected Krakoans emerge fully clothed.

* {{Retraux}}: Fitting the time period, the third issue has a data page for Arkon that's designed like an entry out of a Dungeons and Dragons guidebook. Later, the match up between the Krakoans and Arakkii is illustrated as a character select screen from an arcade fighting game.

* AdaptationDistillation: The series is adapting the Krakoan Age for the '90s cartoon continuity. As such, a lot of details are subject to BroadStrokes to fit the story in what was already established in the continuity. [[spoiler:Deadpool, in his modern FourthWallObserver mode, directly [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this in the third issue]].

* CameBackWrong: As with the original ''ComicBook/XOfSwords'', mutants who die on Arakko come back very differently. They're also guarded against telepathy when they return.

* SchmuckBait: Arclight and Forearm were lured fo Arakko where the latter died by a gateway inexplicably opening up in front of them after a heist.
* SolarAndLunar: Solarr joins the fight against Arkon for Arakko, and is the first to die in battle. When he's resurrected afterwards, his color scheme is [[PaintItBlack far darker]], and his sun insignia is now a crescent moon.
