* {{Irony}}: In the Orbis timeline, Abigail Brand leads what's left of the X-Men and Mutantkind, when it was her plotting that's helped lead them to the sorry state they're in. Not that she's actually learnt anything from it, as she freely admits.
* ItOnlyWorksOnce: The X-Men are trying to find the right spot to hit the timeline so as to {{Retgone}} Enigma's ascension, which is when Moira's Mutant gene first activates. Problem is, they've no idea when that is, and don't think any information given from Moira is reliable. They're also concerned that Enigma will notice their efforts and try to stop them, meaning there's only one chance at doing so.

* ContinuityNod: The dead team visits a timeline wherein Magik rules the Earth in her demonic form. This was previously shown as a vision for Destiny, back in ''ComicBook/ImmortalXMen'' #3.

** The main setting of the first issue is a future where Abigail Brand's WellIntentionedExtremist plan defend Earth against interstellar threats succeeded, only for Orbis Stellaris to outmanoeuvre her and devastate both Earth and Arakko. It's implied that this is the same timeline where he combined Mysterium and the M'Kraan crystal to try to achieve Dominion.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In the main timeline, Brand's ruthless WellIntentionedExtremist plan failed in ''ComicBook/XMenRed2022''. The first issue shows that, if she succeeded, she'd simply have been outmanoeuvred by her 'ally' Orbis Stellaris, opening the way to his destruction of the Sol system and ascension to godhood. Which, as Enigma exists across the different timelines, also means she's partly responsible for its creation and the threat to all timelines.
