!!Giant-Size X-Men: Jean Grey and Emma Frost
* AbsurdlyLongStairway: Ororo's mind contains one.
* CallBack: One of the first memories Jean and Emma see in Storm's mind is a replaying of the time Emma pulled a FreakyFridayFlip on Storm, waaaaaay back in the 80s. Seems Storm is still pretty pissed about that.
* HonestyIsTheBestPolicy: Emma has to admit to the lions guarding Storm's subconscious that she and Storm are not exactly friends.
* INeedADrink: Emma before entering Storm's mind.
* InternalHomage: Jean and Emma have a [[SilenceIsGolden wordless]] JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind of an ally who has fallen mysteriously ill, only this time it's Storm instead of Xavier as it was in [[ComicBook/NewXMen Grant Morrison's run]]. Some of the panels even have them in the same poses.
* MixAndMatchCritters: Jean makes a butterfly elephant for her and Emma to ride on.
* NoDialogueEpisode: The issue has almost no dialogue. None at all between close-ups of a sign which reads "Silence" in Krakoan.
* RaceAgainstTheClock: Jean and Emma find that Storm was infected with a virus by Serafina and has 30 days to live if they can't cure her.
* YourMindMakesItReal: Judging by how hard Jean and Emma fight, Storm's mind makes it all perfectly real.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Nightcrawler]]
!!Giant-Size X-Men: Nightcrawler
* PlotTailoredToTheParty: {{Discussed}}. DoublySubverted. Nightcrawlers team investigating the X-Mansion was supposed to be a routine mission, only to find out that they face overwhelming numbers which Illyana and Kurt acknowledge isn't ideal with a team whose abilities are geared towards investigation and recon. Then is turns out that Doug is actually the perfect one to negotiate a cease fire with the enemy, who turn out to be the alien bouty hunting species The Sidri.
* TheUnreveal: Magik catches Warlock, who's been pretending to be part of Cypher's arm for whatever reason, and asks him what he's doing. Warlock is about to explain, and then gets cut off.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Magneto]]
!!Giant-Size X-Men: Magneto
* CallBack: Magneto tells the keeper of Mykines that he is a bit of an expert on islands, having a lot of experience with them. As many will remember, he ruled the island of Genosha for a while, was part of the governing body on Utopia, and now is part of the Quiet Council of Krakoa. Not to mention that he used to live on Island M.
* CoolBoat: Magneto makes it sound like he sailed over on the cargo ship he brought along to have enough metal to build Emma a house.
* FalseDichotomy: The choice between the spiral and the stone.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Not that they do much, but just the presence of the puffins on Mykines is quite amusing.
* MakesUsEven: Magneto saves Namor's life, so the king of Atlantis figures he'll just give him that island in the Faroes he's been asking to buy.
* RiddleMeThis: Without giving criteria for correctness, the witches ask their visitors to pick the "right" item from their columns.
* ShipTease: Magneto and Emma are awfully friendly with each other in his issue.
* ShoutOut: Namor claims the keeper told him there's a "[[Literature/StrangerInAStrangeLand stranger in our strange land]]".
* SupremeChef: Emma's chef, Saucier. He claims he can make dirt taste delicious and no one contradicts him.
* TakeAThirdOption: Magneto defeats the witches by ''noticing'' that there's a third option. They make it look like there are only two options while hiding the third.

[[folder:Fantomex]]
!!Giant-Size X-Men: Fantomex
* CallBack: Storm comes to Fantomex seeking help for her terminal illness. This illness was discovered in ''Giant-Size X-Men: Jean Grey and Emma Frost.''
* TheCameo: Fantomex takes a number of Marvel characters into the World with him on his once-a-decade excursions. Among them are Nick Fury, Dum Dum Dugan and the Howling Commandos and the Hellfire Club a decade later.
* CListFodder: The Humonganauts, a group of mercenaries named Red Eye, Emotipool, Rustbot and Mohawk Person who get killed ridiculously easily on Fantomex's trip into the World one decade before he recruits Wolverine and Cyclops.
* GilliganCut: A decade after trying to break into the World with the Hellfire Club, Fantomex sits relaxing and reading a book on a beach deciding, "I may just never go back." The next page shows him one decade later addressing his latest bait, stating, "I'm going back."
* FindTheCure: The issue concludes Storm's arc and has her cured of Serafina's disease. The World has machinery designed to separate organic and technological components, which is perfect for purging the virus Storm is infected with.
* IdenticalTwinIDTag: The scientists working in the World can harbor no "aberrations" like two children born 100% identical "down to the atom." The head scientist marks the one to keep with a circle and the one to dispose of with a diamond. These children are [[spoiler: Ultimaton and Fantomex]] respectively.
* IChooseToStay: [[spoiler: Ultimaton]] does this every time Fantomex breaks into the World to free him. The A.I.M. scientist Fantomex brought on his latest attempt also chooses to stay, because the World is a perfect playground for a mad scientist.
* OnceMoreWithClarity: The "Assault on Weapon Plus" arc from Morrison's ''ComicBook/NewXMen'' is shown once again from Fantomex's recruiting of Wolverine and Cyclops to his confrontation with Ultimaton. It's re-contextualized this time, however, now that we known this is just [[spoiler: another attempt by Fantomex to free his twin brother Ultimaton from the World should he want to leave.]]
* PunchClockVillain: The A.I.M. scientist who agrees to accompany the X-Men into the World is there because Fantomex is paying him ''a lot.''
*** ''Seriously, it's a ridiculous amount. Like, change your identity, leave your wife and kids, disappear forever money...''
* SeparatedAtBirth: [[spoiler: Ultimaton and Fantomex]] were this. The latter breaks into the World once a decade to try and liberate the former if he decides he's ready to leave.
* SiblingTeam: Fantomex and [[spoiler: Ultimaton]] are revealed to have been this all along.
* TimeyWimeyBall: How the World works. Or, as Monet puts it:
*** ''Yes. Temporal nonsense.''
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Discussed multiple times regarding Fantomex's (affected) accent. While Jean-Phillipe has largely been described as speaking with a French accent, he's more referred to as sounding "Flemish" by Nick Fury and the A.I.M. scientist.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Storm]]
!!Giant-Size X-Men: Storm
* BaitAndSwitch: Douglas notes that since there's clearly some kind of battle going on around a hovering structure inside the World, they could just use it as a distraction while they go get the thing that will cure Storm. Phantomex points out that the cure is inside that hovering structure.
* CallBack: Emma's demeanor is back to how it was in Morrison's run.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Emma thinks Storm is giving her a compliment when she says she is "good at talking" after Emma suggested she shouldn't fight the virus but just die so they could resurrect her.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Subverted. Ned says they can do whatever they want with the money intended for him, as long as they don't give it to charity.
* ItCanThink: The containment structure that healed Storm. Cypher discovers that it is sentient, but keeps it to himself.
* IChooseToStay: AIM scientist Ned finds the World to be too interesting for him to leave.
* ILied: Phantomex admits that he doesn't actually have the money he promised Ned for getting them into the World.
* ShoutOut: Penance calls Doug "the mutant version of WesternAnimation/{{Bambi}}".
* WhatTheHellHero: Storm calls out Monet and Phantomex for haggling while her life hangs in the balance.
