| X-Men '92 (Comic Book) | comment |
X-Men '92 is a 2015 Marvel comic book, co-written by Chris Sims and Chad Bowers with art by Scott Koblish and Alti Firmansyah. Launched as a Secret Wars tie-in, X-Men '92 takes place in a broad strokes version of the classic X-Men: The Animated Series. After a brief run of five issues, it returned as part of the All-New, All-Different Marvel initiative, this time being allowed a run of ten issues. The last issue was released in December 2016.In 2022 a new mini-series set in this universe, House Of XCII, was released to give House of X and other Krakoan Age storylines a '92 style interpretation.Not to be confused with X-Men Adventures, the actual Comic-Book Adaptation of the animated series. X-Men '92 is an homage to the TV series, but has its own stories. | |

The Cameo | |
| X-Men '92 (Comic Book) / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: In the first volume, the Penal Colony has quite a few recognizable patients, ranging from Brotherhood alumni like Blob and the Toad to X-Force members such as Boom-Boom and Warpath. Even Sabretooth makes an appearance! At the end of the first volume, Joseph, the young clone of Magneto, appears working in a diner. The second volume promotes him to a recurring character. The classrooms in the second volume show a good number of young mutants from the Generation X and X-Statix stories. One of them, the Generation X Ensemble Dark Horse Chamber, is even promoted to semi-recurring status! Blade shows up in holographic form as the Danger Room's Daywalker training program. Rachel Summers makes one in the second volume in her "Mother Askani" incarnation. The final issue has cameos from The Punisher, Spider-Man, the Danny Ketch Ghost Rider and Black Panther | |

Deadly Game | |
| X-Men '92 (Comic Book) / int_1d91d828 | comment |
In the second volume, at first it looks like the Upstarts will be this, as they are the ones responsible for unleashing Alpha Red and are playing a Deadly Game behind the scenes, but they end up folding pretty quickly to the Cassandra Nova/Joseph team up and Apocalypse reveals that the real bigger bad is the Original Generation villain Xodus the Forgotten. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| X-Men '92 (Comic Book) / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: While he has long been in a Face–Heel Revolving Door in the normal timeline, the Gladiator of this universe is established as a pretty firm Jerkass. It says something about a character when even long-running villains like Apocalypse and Cassandra Nova come across as more sympathetic than him. In the animated series, Senator Kelly only spends the first season as a villain before getting Character Development and becoming an uneasy ally of the X-Men after being elected president. In this version, he is still president of the United States, but is also secretly one of Apocalypse's Four Horsemen. Though with the revelations of the second volume, it ultimately turns out that Kelly is not so much more villainous as just more adversarial to the X-Men as a result of this twist, subverting this trope. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| X-Men '92 (Comic Book) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
When the Upstarts are introduced one of them is said to be absent, a female character who is "off planning a nasty bit of business in London". This is almost certainly a reference to Siena Blaze, the last of the Upstarts in the original canon, but no mention of her is ever made again. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| X-Men '92 (Comic Book) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The second issue of volume 1 is called "Here Comes Tomorrow," which is the name of Grant Morrison's last arc in New X-Men, the book that introduced Cassandra Nova. The second issue of volume 2 is called "Young Blood," a nod to Youngblood, the Image project that Rob Liefeld created after leaving Marvel in the '90s. The fourth issue of volume 2 is called "Pages from the Book of Sins." The final issue is called "Earth X" and involves everyone on Earth gaining superpowers in order to fight the giant villain. Professor X donning the armor of Onslaught for his Astral Projection battle with the Shadow King in the first volume is a riff on a story arc in Ultimate X-Men that had Xavier go to the future for training and come back wearing Onslaught armor. During the first arc of volume two involving vampires, Jubilee is the first one turned. When Dead Girl casts a spell that magically turns all Earth's vampires into humans she dramatically utters the invocation, "No more vampires". With Cassandra Nova reimagined as a clone of Charles Xavier, her and Joseph literally become a case of Xavier's clone teaming up with Magneto's clone. Now why would those two be drawn together, I wonder? Future Sinister being blasted to pieces by Future Rachel is a clear invoking of Sinister's fate at the eyes of Cyclops in Inferno (1988), as well as his defeat at the end of season 2. Exodus and Bastion being Apocalypse's horsemen. In the comics, Exodus has his powers awakened by Apocalypse and is initially meant to be his herald until he rebels, while in the Age of Apocalypse Bastion is captured and reprogrammed into being one of Big Blue's horsemen. Apocalypse proclaiming good and evil to be "meaningless words used to describe lesser beings" is a callback to one of the many badass boasts made by the '90s animated Apocalypse, as well as his penultimate Story Arc in that series which was even titled "Beyond Good and Evil". Exodus fighting Havok in the ninth issue is a callback to Exodus's brief use as an Evil Counterpart for Havok under the pen of Chuck Austen. The comic ends with humanity becoming mutants, with the comic's title being "Earth X". Earth X was a series where humanity gained super powers, but they were done through the Terrigen Mists. The plan was also by Apocalypse, which is a callback to the character's main goal in X-Men: Evolution | |

Wolverine Publicity | |
| X-Men '92 (Comic Book) / int_34082c59 | comment |
Wolverine Publicity: X-Men '92 might be the only Marvel book to actually avert this stale comic staple. Traditional Marvel publicity hogs like Wolverine and Deadpool are used, but not to the point of overriding the other characters (Deadpool is actually a minor character as a member of this universe's incarnation of X-Force). And this isn't limited to heroic spotlight hogs, either: Magneto is deliberately given a Death by Adaptation so the narrative can breathe without his and Xavier's issues overriding everything else. | |

Death Is Cheap: Played with in the second volume: it sure looks like Joseph and Cassandra Nova kill off Fabian Cortez when he is unlucky enough to cross paths with them, but in the next issue, it's revealed that they simply wounded and captured him, as he is shown tied up with the Fenris twins. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
| X-Men '92 (Comic Book) / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: Quite a few characters, actually: Cassandra Nova is the most prominent example, as she is reimagined from a very dark Omnicidal Maniac into an omnicide-indifferent Deadpan Snarker who appears in both volumes. Joseph, who in his last mainstream appearance underwent a rather extreme Face–Heel Turn, is reverted into a character much more like his original 90s incarnation. And in the eighth issue, it's revealed that even Apocalypse is less malevolent in this universe, as he is gathering disciples to stand against the threat of Xodus the Forgotten. | |

Heroes Gone Fishing: The first volume opens with the X-Men playing extreme laser tag. Naturally, Jubilee wins. In the second volume Scott and Jean go to Alaska on a much-needed getaway. When we catch up to them, they're playing a board game (which eagle-eyed 90s readers will be able to identify as X-Men Alert!). | |

Alternate Continuity | |
| X-Men '92 (Comic Book) / int_450c5a85 | comment |
Alternate Continuity: To both mainstream X-Men comics as well as the animated series. For example, while the animated series ended with Apocalypse pulling a Grand Theft Me on Fabian Cortez after losing his original body in the Story Arc "Beyond Good and Evil", here both characters are reset to their baseline selves. Cortez's role as a villain in the "Sanctuary" story arc is referred to in a Call-Back by Professor X, though, so clearly there's also a good deal of overlap too. | |

| X-Men '92 (Comic Book) / int_4832a3bb | comment |
While lost in space the X-Men encounter a faction of mutant Brood that are notably less villainous than Brood normally tend to be. While the concept of Brood that deviate from the race's usual Always Chaotic Evil depiction is not unique to this series, in conjunction with all the other examples of this it becomes noteworthy. | |

Death by Adaptation | |
| X-Men '92 (Comic Book) / int_48c99e19 | comment |
Death by Adaptation: Magneto is established as being Killed Off for Real in the backstory after a terrific battle, allowing the writers to feature less frequently utilized villains without Magneto's shadow constantly hanging overhead. In a hilariously irreverent example, Sabretooth is possibly killed offscreen by Deadpool, who uses his severed head to jokingly menace the kid Morlocks with - he seems to be mumbling 'help me', so it's unclear. But it's still funny. Professor Xavier ends up pulling a Heroic Sacrifice to turn the entirety of Earth into mutants. | |

In the second volume, Fabian Cortez and the Fenris Twins find out the hard way how unequipped they are to cross Cassandra Nova and her new ally Joseph. Later in the second volume, Nova and Joseph go after Shinobi Shaw and Trevor Fitzroy only to be ambushed themselves by Apocalypse and his horsemen. | |

Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Xodus's current title "The Forgotten Celestial" is relatively innocuous, but his former title of "Xodus the Harvester" is much more accurate and menacing. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| X-Men '92 (Comic Book) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: It is almost certainly not a coincidence that the Greater Scope Villain Xodus has a very similar name to the mutant Exodus, and while details are teasingly scarce, a glimpse in Apocalypse's mind when Professor X reads it seems to further hint at some sort of connection between the two characters. Unfortunately, no mention is made of it in the tenth and final issue, turning it into another Aborted Arc. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| X-Men '92 (Comic Book) / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: Fitzroy's shrimpy sidekick Bantam is nowhere to be seen despite being a fixture in the One Man's Worth storyline of the 90s cartoon. When the Upstarts are introduced one of them is said to be absent, a female character who is "off planning a nasty bit of business in London". This is almost certainly a reference to Siena Blaze, the last of the Upstarts in the original canon, but no mention of her is ever made again. In the eighth issue it is revealed that Mystique has been impersonating the Gamesmaster the whole time. Of course, this calls into question what happened to the real Gamesmaster, or even if there is a real Gamesmaster in this continuity. It should be noted that Gamesmaster does make a brief cameo in the animated series, appearing as one of the psychic prisoners of Apocalypse in the 4-part "Beyond Good and Evil" story arc. | |

Took a Level in Badass: In the regular continuity, Fabian Cortez, while having his moments as a Manipulative Bastard, is most often a Smug Snake who overestimates his own abilities and pays the price for it. While he still retains his Smug Snake attitude (and even ramps it up to Smug Super levels) his competence and willingness to get his own hands dirty are cranked up a notch, culminating in the very impressive feat of getting all the X-Men stranded millions of miles from Earth by using his Super Empowering abilities to overload the mutant teleporter Lila Cheney. Even Apocalypse, though displeased by this disruption to his plans, can't help but be impressed by this. | |

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu? | |
| X-Men '92 (Comic Book) / int_cc4d190a | comment |
Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: In issue 8 of the second volume, Apocalypse is introduced casually dragging the body of the arch-demon N'astirh behind him, remarking that negotiations with Limbo went poorly. Hilariously, no one comments on this, suggesting that this sort of Cthulhu-punching is just par for the course for this version of Apocalypse. | |

Killed Off for Real | |
| X-Men '92 (Comic Book) / int_cda501da | comment |
Magneto is established as being Killed Off for Real in the backstory after a terrific battle, allowing the writers to feature less frequently utilized villains without Magneto's shadow constantly hanging overhead. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| X-Men '92 (Comic Book) / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: There is no indication that the Fenris twins are Neo-Nazis or engaged in any Twincest like their mainstream incarnations. The setting as a whole is this; the usual grimdark anti-mutant atmosphere is dialed way back and, as mentioned above, the X-Men are regarded by the public as heroes rather than menaces. This is especially ironic as the title is based off the continuity and characters of the notoriously grimdark '90s. While lost in space the X-Men encounter a faction of mutant Brood that are notably less villainous than Brood normally tend to be. While the concept of Brood that deviate from the race's usual Always Chaotic Evil depiction is not unique to this series, in conjunction with all the other examples of this it becomes noteworthy. The comic ends with the entirety of humanity deciding to become mutants to save their world. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
| X-Men '92 (Comic Book) / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: After the battle against Alpha Red, Beast gives a subdued one of these to Storm, chiding not her but the entire team (him included) for the way they defeated Alpha (which essentially amounted to forcing every vampire on Earth to become human against their will) and wondering how different it would be if humans ever managed to do the same to mutants. This becomes a Call-Back when Xavier calls out the entirety of humanity with the request to become mutants to help save the world from Xodus. They all accept the request. | |

'90s Anti-Hero | |
| X-Men '92 (Comic Book) / int_da9d2f16 | comment |
'90s Anti-Hero: Per their mainstream incarnation, X-Force is positively stacked with these types, and even though they've left the team to join the X-Men, Bishop and Psylocke are still more willing to jump to violent means than the rest of the team. | |

Legion of Doom: Played with in issue #9 of the second volume, where it certainly looks like Apocalypse has assembled an army of X-Men villains. He has, but as it turns out their purpose is to fight with the X-Men against Xodus the Forgotten. | |

While he has long been in a Face–Heel Revolving Door in the normal timeline, the Gladiator of this universe is established as a pretty firm Jerkass. It says something about a character when even long-running villains like Apocalypse and Cassandra Nova come across as more sympathetic than him. | |
