* MirrorCharacter: Is essentially this to the council of the nation of Krakoa (although the great ring came first chronologically). Being a collection of well respected, powerful and influential mutants that occupy similarly designated sections of the council that denote their unique places and roles, with special exceptions given to the mutant island itself and its speaker. Alongside having, in essence, the near the exact same first three laws save for the second, which is “destroy our enemies”. Of course, considering all the alternate future reality knowledge that went into making the nation of Krakoa, this all might have been intentional.

* RightForTheWrongReasons: After her defeat by Storm she sets out to go after Orchis, reasoning that they need to be destroyed. Not because they’re genocidal, fascistic, racists, but because she feels humiliated by her loss to Storm and needs a scapegoat. The people who sent her after Storm will do.

* EvilCounterpart: To Nightcrawler, Kurt is one of Krakoa's spiritual leaders, he encourages worship of any God one chooses and since being on the Island has taught a philosophy of trying new things, adapting and evolving. She is a NayTheist who enforces a law preventing Arakii's from worshiping Gods and has been responsible for the execution of many. She believes [[spoiler:[[EvilReactionary the eternal war is what defines Arakko and goes out of her way to make her people reject their new life and fall back on old ways so she can eventually lead them back to Amenth]]]]. Kurt clashes with the rest of the [[NotSoOmniscientCouncilOfBickering Quiet Council of Krakoa]] because his progressive ideals clash with their SmugSuper and/or ControlFreak natures whereas she wishes the Great Ring of Arakko would double down more on their ProudWarriorRace philosophy and be less open to change.

* AloofAlly: He only agrees to join the Horsemen if they beg him for his help. He also only fights against Gorgon himself after War begs him to as well. He's entirely uncaring of Arakko's goals and in fact is holding a grudge over being left to fight constantly for thousands of years by them.

* ShoutOut: A harsh, brutal society running on an unusual warrior code which is not tolerant to outsiders? Arakko and the Arakkii derive quite a bit from ''Arakkis'' and the Fremen of ''Literature/{{Dune}}''. Jonathan Hickman is a very big fan of the series.

* {{Hypocrite}}: For all her mantra of strength, she ultimately turns out to be a coward, unwilling to press an attack rather than risk what she already has, something that contradicts everything she supposedly preaches.



* SuperiorSuccessor: Inverted. It's stated in ''ComicBook/MarvelComicsOneThousand'' that Apocalypse sees his children as the best horsemen he ever had with all who followed being [[InadequateInheritor Inadequate Inheritors]] of their titles - only Archangel, (who, not coincidentally, is blatantly Apocalypse's favourite of all his Earth horsemen and the only to succeed him) really measures up. It's implied that since these were his children, the rest of the horsemen were ReplacementGoldfish, as EvenEvilHasLovedOnes applies to Apocalypse - he nearly breaks down when he sees them again.

* TheFinalTemptation: [[spoiler:Tries swaying Storm with its power, pointing out all the ''good'' she could do, such as wiping out Orchis and avenging Krakoa. Storm rejects it and destroys it.]]
* LogicalWeakness: Magic Annihilation may be, but it's made of gold, and when turned into a staff wood as well, meaning it has all the inherent weaknesses of both of those, such as wood's susceptibility to fire, and gold's melting point.



* MysteriousPast: The exact origins of Annihilation are as yet unclear. ''Heralds of Apocalypse'' gives only a vague statement about it being possibly a product of the "anti-tree", suggesting it comes from one of Marvel's ''many'' Hell like dimensions, and in ''X-Men: Red'' Storm notes there's something "''adversarial''" about it, but the wording is vague enough it might just mean antagonistic, not related to ''The'' Adversary.

* TheAce: Isca is an Omega level mutant who has the power to always win. If it's within her power to do something, she will succeed, and if it isn't, she will switch sides to make sure she still wins. Sunspot brilliantly ends up using this against her to get Magneto on the council. Sunspot bets her that Magneto's opponent will end up winning, Isca's powers kick in so she wins and Sunspot loses the bet. Cue Magneto crushing his opponent. The Fisher King pulls the same gambit on her, but far, far more brutally, laying down a challenge - the one who 'wins' is the one who better understands loss. Cue 10,000 years of trauma smacking her in the face and turning her into a BrokenAce.

* BlessedWithSuck: Her power to never lose may seem like an amazing ability at first, but in truth it has made her life into one of solitude as none of her allies, including her own sister Genesis, can trust her to fight alongside them in case Isca's power causes her to switch sides. This has led to centuries of isolation and bitterness building within Isca. As becomes clear, she also has no active control over her power, and therefore can't lose even if she ''wanted'' to. When the Fisher King finally forces her to confront this with a challenge of who better understands loss, she has a full on breakdown.
