** Monet calls Jamie's dupes "disposables," but Jamie disagrees. When she allows the Savage Land manufacting plant to be blown up (since it was a choice between getting to the plant or getting to Angel), Jamie calls her out on letting all those dupes die -- because they also held a weeks worth of ''information'' that he can't reabsorb now.

* NonIdleRich: Both Monet and Warren come from extremely wealthy families and probably don't need to work a day in their lives, but both still feel the need to be hands on and make sure everything is running smoothly.
* OutGambitted: The first issue has Brazilian businessman Jean-Pierre Kol try to extort more money out of X-Corp by threatening their Savage Land manufacturing plant. He even has it blown up, saying that people will blame the mutants for the "new crater" and he will tie them up with litigation until their money dries up. And then Monet arrives with X-Corp's new flying island headquarters, causing the media to immediately focus on ''that'', while blaming the explosion on anti-mutant militants, thus dismantling Kol's plan completely.

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Monet and Warren averted this, but not the people they deal with. The first issue provides the example of Jean-Pierre Kol, a Brazilian businessman and former owner of Noblesse Pharmaceuticals before he sold it to X-Corp. When Angel meets with him, Kol explains that now that Krakoa has been revealed, he wants ''more'' money for his company, even though he already sold it -- and if they do not agree, he will tie them up with litigation about their Savage Land drug manufacturing plant. Which he then blows up.

Angel, too, can transform into his Archangel form, but he tends to keep calm better, usually only transforming his wings into metal.
