History ComicBook / UncannyXMen2018

** Anole is now sporting two regular looking, albeit green skinned, arms, his spiky oversized monster arm apparently being gone, not to mention his total makeover after going to a Bad Future in Comicbook/ExtraordinaryXMen. No explanation has been given for this and while some books around the same time similarly lacked this detail, ''Uncanny'' makes it more noticeable since he's ''not a background character'' here and so it stands out more that he's lost one of his main powers.

* OnlySaneMan: Pixie among her classmates ends up coming off as this; she's the first and only one who thinks picking fights with the teachers is a bad idea, and repeatedly clashes with Armor over her increasingly antagonistic behaviour and less-than-wise decisions.

** Doubles as a shout-out that [[ComicBook/HumanTorch Johnny]] wrote Bobby a birthday song about their friendship. He calls it ''A Song of Ice and Fire''.

The fifth volume of ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen'', launched in 2018 as part of the [[ComicBook/MarvelAFreshStart Fresh Start]] initiative. Initially written by Ed Brisson, Matthew Rosenberg and Kelly Thompson with the "X-Men Disassembled" storyline, Rosenberg later took over as sole writer starting with issue #11.

* ActorAllusion: Jubilee to [[spoiler:brainwashed!]]Magneto.
-->'''Magneto:''' Do not proceed any further.
-->'''Jubilee:''' I believe the line is "you shall not pass", Gandalf!

* AffablyEvil: [[spoiler: Nate]], at worst. He's genuinely friendly, polite, and [[ApologeticAttacker regretful that he must take down the X-Men]], being sardonic with them at worst. He's also very happy to explain himself after the young X-Men outright ask him why he's doing what he is. In Issue 8, however, he loses his temper. Considering that [[spoiler: Nate was trapped in the Age of Apocalypse and/or inside Legion's head, for a period of relative months]], which he not unreasonably considers to be an attempt to kill him (though he doesn't know that it was all Legion's idea), you can see why. And even after that, he has a long and fairly pleasant chat with Jean inside his head, and is genuinely regretful at what he feels he must do. And even then, his final plan doesn't kill the X-Men, but shunts them off into the ComicBook/AgeOfXMan, in an earnest (but deeply flawed) attempt to help them find peace.
* AGodAmI: After he [[spoiler: takes over Legion's body Nathan]] declares himself a god - and makes the point that he effectively is one beforehand and afterwards. Considering his raw power, it's hard to argue with him - though interestingly, it's ambiguous how much he actually believes it.

* BigBad: The first arc has [[spoiler: Nate Grey, the X-Man and alternate universe Cable of the Age of Apocalypse]], albeit of the WellIntentionedExtremist variety.

** "Disassembled"'s apparent BigBad, [[spoiler: Nate Grey, the X-Man.]]

** In Issue #4 [[spoiler: Nate]] dismisses Apocalypse's opinion while talking to Kitty, saying he's only kept as a reminder of a hell he doesn't want. The very next issue he seeks and follows Apocalypse's suggestion, claiming all his hostages are present to serve as a balanced council advising him how to best change the world. Of course, he could just have changed his mind when he thought Apocalypse had an interesting point.

* CurbstompBattle: [[spoiler: Nate]] swats Jubilee out the way, and the X-Men, including Jean Grey, Psylocke, Storm, and Iceman, among other heavy hitters, all go for him at once. By the time Jubilee gets back with the Young X-Men, a minute or so later, they're all tied up and [[spoiler: Nate]] hasn't even broken a sweat.

* DespairEventHorizon: ''X-Men: Disassembled'' is all about the results of [[spoiler: Nate Grey]] finally crossing this, plunging into despair - typified by a conversation he has with Jean in the form of an old woman, where both agree that the world's messed up, but Jean retains optimism. Thus, he decides that he has to remake the world by force. Arguably, though, he doesn't tip over the edge until a minutes-that-feel-like-months stint in [[spoiler: Legion's mental construct of]] the Age of Apocalypse without his powers, where he sadly reflects that while he originally thought that 616 was heaven to the AOA's hell, he's come to believe that it's just a more subtle form of hell. This ultimately leads him to TakeAThirdOption and create the ''ComicBook/AgeOfXMan''.

* OffhandBackhand: [[spoiler: Nate]] swats Jubilee and Cannonball this way.

* PhysicalGod: [[spoiler: Nate]], who always verged on this to begin with, is definitely this thanks to getting his powers back [[spoiler: in boosted form thanks to the Life Seed]], taking down entire teams of X-Men with minimal effort, telepathically overpowering Legion in seconds, and requiring a distraction from Jean, and the full power of Psylocke, the Stepford Sisters, Sage, and No-Girl and a whopping great lightning bolt from Storm to separate him from [[spoiler: Legion]], who he'd body-jacked... and ''even then'' he's still holding off the full force of the X-Men, the former Horsemen of Salvation (including Magneto), while carrying on a polite telepathic conversation with Jean.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Legion, who became aware of what [[spoiler:X-Man]] is doing and tries to warn everyone to stop it; he does so by sending a vague image of the future to Jean telepathically that doesn't explain ''any'' context, then kidnaps and tortures Jamie Madrox in order to use his dupes as brainwashed cannon fodder to prevent the events he's seen coming, and rather than ''explain'' any of this when the X-Men come to investigate, he attacks them. Bizarrely, Armor considers this ''the X-Men's'' fault for not listening to Legion despite his actions directly making everyone react the way they did.

* RealityWarper: [[spoiler: Nate Grey]], and Legion, both to an unknown extent - in the former case, it's unclear how much he's capable of (ComicBook/AgeOfXMan reveals that [[spoiler: he's capable of creating entire planes of existence]]), and in the latter, it depends on his state of mind. The latter, though, is wildly outclassed by the former, in both raw power and control.

* VaguenessIsComing: Jamie Madrox warns of... something coming, which seems to be tied to the anomalies in the timeline that Bishop is combating and whatever is hunting the Age of Apocalypse refugees. It is revealed that the vagueness is in fact [[spoiler: Nate Grey]].
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: Nate]], who's dying and desperate to prevent the 616 universe from becoming a CrapsackWorld like his home reality while he still can.

** Warren gives Betsy and the other X-Men one when Betsy takes down his Horseman of Peace persona, unleashing Archangel, pointing out that unlike the other Horsemen of Salvation, he was working with [[spoiler: Nate]] willingly, because the other man was helping him with his Archangel problem.

** Apocalypse of all people is captured off-screen to show how badass the unseen villain is. {{Downplayed}} because the person who captured him is revealed to be [[spoiler: Nate Grey]], who has eclipsed Apocalypse at the height of his power, [[spoiler: having been engineered ''specifically'' to kill his world's Apocalypse.]]
** Legion gets dramatically [[CurbstompBattle curbstomped]] by [[spoiler: Nate]] in telepathic combat, after the latter figures out that [[spoiler: he's trapped in Legion's mind.]]
