* GenreSavvy: Morph as Xavier immediately starts telling the team about a potential weapon that makes people irrational, knowing full well Wolverine would immediately be able to smell though his disguise. Sure enough, a minute later, Wolverine walks in and accuses "Xavier" of being Morph so he orders the team to restrain him because he's been affected by the "weapon." It almost works, but as Wolverine gets increasingly insistent, Morph starts to get desperate and "Xavier" being a little too eager to order them to harm Wolverine makes Gambit suspicious enough to test Wolverine's theory.

* ImpostorExposingTest: Wolverine insists that's not Xavier in the war room; it's Morph. The others don't believe him, but in all the commotion, "Xavier" gets knocked over and demands Wolvie be destroyed. Gambit notices this and performs a simple test: throwing a charged card towards "Xavier," who immediately ''stands up'' and tries to take cover.

* NeverSayDie: Averted. Morph didn't die, but it's acknowledged that he should be dead and everyone remarks with surprise that he's alive. The usual go-to ("destroy") is never used in reference to him. Just to hammer it home, Sinister describes his body as appearing lifeless and later uses the below quote that explicitly uses the word that the network usually didn't allow. Actually, as noted on the trope's Western Animation subpage, there was apparently some leeway from the network for using the given word if they could show the given character was still alive.

--->'''Beast:''' Let him go, Wolverine. Morph may be afraid of what he would do if he stays with us. He must learn to deal with what he has become.\\
'''Wolverine:''' He's my friend. He's the ''only'' one who could ever make me laugh. I'm not gonna desert him this time.
