* AccidentalHero: Rogue starts ripping up the submarine to throw a wrench into Omega Red's plans. She just narrowly stopped Omega Red from breaking open Storm's helmet.



* RestrainingBolt: Wolverine and Storm need radiation suits just to enter the nuclear sub (a quirk of Omega Red's mutation renders him immune to it all.) Storm can still make her powers work through the suit, but Wolverine's claws don't work that way.

* VillainousBreakdown: As the missiles start getting shot down, Omega Red completely flips out.
-->'''Omega Red:''' There is no way Navy planes could've arrived so fast! Someone was lying in wait! IT'S YOU X-MEN! I KNOW IT!
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: With the initial missiles blasted out of the sky, Omega Red intends to dive deeper and arms more warheads, to which he says the hostages just became useless. He's about to crack open Storm's helmet when Rogue starts ripping open the sub.

* AndIMustScream: Omega Red's eventual fate is to be stuck inside the nuclear sub after Rogue sabotaged it. Attempting to start it up just makes it sink further, so you know he's not trying that again...



* TheCavalryArrivesLate: Subverted - the US fighters can't make it to the nuclear launch before the Blackbird, and Beast and Rogue have their hands full detonating all the missiles as they launch. Eventually two slip away - but the US fighters actually get there in time to shoot them down.



* EnemyMine: It's not quite the DealWIthTheDevil stated in the title. Omega Red's deal with the US government involves having Wolverine and Storm along with him as they find the nuclear sub. Subverted eventually as Omega Red's real motive was plain old revenge.

* BoxedCrook: The US Government were clearly going for a ComicBook/SuicideSquad thing by convincing Omega Red to find the nuclear sub for them, with a compressed liquid nitrogen module bolted to his neck for good measure. Unfortunately they didn't set it off before he found it...
* ContrivedCoincidence: Omega Red clearly didn't have time to suss out Storm and her claustrophobia before roping her in on a submarine mission - she's only there because he remembers her putting him on literal ice.

Added DiffLines:

In Russia, Omega Red is freed from his frozen state and offered a deal by the American government: help retrieve a sunken nuclear submarine in exchange for being turned human again. Omega insists that Wolverine and Storm accompany him. The X-Men agree to the mission. On the way to the submarine, tensions are kept under control. Storm struggles with claustrophobia but remains calm. Once inside the sub, Omega turns against the X-Men, planning to launch nuclear missiles worldwide. The toxic environment prevents the X-Men from fighting back. Beast and Rogue arrive in the Blackbird and drop depth charges to hinder the sub. Omega arms the missiles, but Beast destroys them. Rogue confronts Omega, defeating him. The X-Men are rescued, while Omega remains trapped with the non-launchable missiles.
