Comic-Book Time: Played with in The Marvels and The Spiders. Kamala and Miles' travels to the past has the comic also recapture the aesthetic of the time period the stories were taking place in; the '70s and '60s, respectively. Played straight in The Americas, where the mention of a selfie and appearances by smartphones marks Cap's return to modern day as being in the 2010s.

comment
Never Trust a Trailer: Both of the most recent Novas —Richard Rider and Sam Alexander— appear in the above promo image, but they lack a dedicated one-shot for the Nova mantle. This is because plans changed when the monthly Nova comic was cancelled.

Mythology Gag

comment
Mythology Gag: Logan's internal narration upon seeing Laura in action is: "She's like me. Very much like me." An older Tony Stark mentors the children of the other heroes, just like in Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow (even the same heroes), except the circumstances are more peaceful.

Shoot the Shaggy Dog: The Strongest begins with Amadeus Cho trying to help a young Bruce Banner with controlling his anger. By the issue's end, Amadeus ends up losing control himself and Banner ends up rebuking his attempts, flipping the table and reaffirming that being the Hulk truly is a curse.

Wolverine Publicity: Despite being featured prominently in the promotional art leading up to the series, Richard Rider and Sam Alexander don't actually have a one-shot.note Fans have speculate that the previous Nova series bombing ended up causing the duo to become de-emphasized.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Generations (Marvel Comics) (Comic Book) / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: The younger Steve Rogers finds himself having difficulty keeping his lunch down in the battlefield. He's only been Captain America for at least two weeks, and the pressure of having to both fight as a soldier (which he admits he's actually not, he's a guy his superiors put into a costume and sent out to war) and provide a symbol for people to look up to is getting to him.

It's Not You, It's My Enemies: Subverted in issue 3: Logan uses this as his reasoning for not staying with Amiko after he and Laura rescue her from Sabretooth. Laura quickly points out that his being active in her life didn't matter: Creed targeted her anyway.

Take Me Instead: Sabretooth holds Amiko hostage in issue 3, and threatens to throw her out of an airplane. Laura offers herself in Amiko's place, and takes advantage of his moment of confusion (Laura and Creed had yet to meet at the point in time she was sent to) to close in and free her.
