* WhamShot: Though a LateArrivalSpoiler now, the reveal of that Ord's test subject was Colossus, a character specifically pointed to when Marvel declared that "Dead means dead," was one of the biggest surprises in comics of the era.

* ComicBookTime: The Whedon run suffered badly from ScheduleSlip, which makes fitting it into wider X-Men continuity a notorious nightmare. The run appears to take place over a matter of weeks at most, but the "Danger" arc begins with Xavier and Magneto still hanging out on Genosha (so prior to ''ComicBook/HouseOfM''), and the final issue has ComicBook/SpiderMan making a joke about ''ComicBook/CivilWar'' having happened.

* CoversAlwaysLie: The cover for the final issue of Joss Whedon's run shows the current X-Men team being joined by their old friends, as well as assorted superheroes such as ComicBook/IronMan, Franchise/SpiderMan, ComicBook/TheSentry and the ComicBook/FantasticFour, as they launch themselves into battle against an unknown enemy. However, [[spoiler:the only featured battle is Colossus and Ord vs Aghanne; the secondary heroes don't do anything due to spending most of the issue stuck in a trance; and the story mainly focuses on the team's despair and grief as Kitty Pryde prepares to sacrifice herself to save Earth]].

The series originally focused on ComicBook/KittyPryde, AKA former teenage foil Shadowcat, as she rejoins the ComicBook/XMen as a student advisor following the events of Grant Morrison's run, and rebuilds her relationship with her first love Colossus (Piotr 'Peter' Rasputin) [[DeathIsCheap once he comes back to life]]. Their relationship is complicated by the fact that the one responsible for Piotr's resurrection, an alien called Ord, believes a mutant from Earth is destined to destroy his planet within the next three years. Meanwhile S.W.O.R.D., one of SHIELD's sister factions, tries to stop an all out war between Earth and Ord's home planet Breakworld.

* SeriesContinuityError: It's established in "Unstoppable" that Danger is incapable of killing anyone. However, this contradicts events from her first battle against the X-Men, in which Cyclops, Colossus and Shadowcat would have died from their injuries had Elixir not healed them.
