** Creator/ChrisClaremont and Creator/JohnByrne had an idea for an issue where a young Professor X was killed during his battle with Lucifer (which merely crippled him in the mainline universe), leading to the original X-Men instead being formed by Magneto. The team would have consisted of Cyclops, Jean Grey (renamed Psyke rather than Marvel Girl), Comicbook/{{Iceman}}, Beast (who would've sported mechanical WolverineClaws), Angel (renamed Archangel and wielding a flaming sword), Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, and essentially served as a modified version of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. The story would've followed the mutants as they destroyed the Avengers, the Fantastic Four and even Doctor Doom (with Magneto killing Doom by crushing his metal chest plate), eventually conquering the planet. However, the issue would have ended with Galactus arriving and devouring the Earth, as the destruction of the Fantastic Four meant that there was nobody to stop him.

* ScheduleSlip: There have been at least three extended periods (one from April to July 2015, one from September 2015 to January 2016, and one from April to December 2016[[note]]Only three updates in this period[[/note]]) where Randall has not updated the blog with little explanation, although evidence suggests that the first two periods were connected to book releases (one of which was the What If compilation). There were only four updates in 2017, in January, February and March. In 2018, only one update was released, and the blog has been on SeriesHiatus ever since (which, given that it's been 3 years and counting at this point, is edging the series from "hiatus" to "OrphanedSeries").

** "All Possible Worlds'' incorrectly portrays ComicBook/GhostRider as being Johnny Blaze instead of Danny Ketch, even though the latter was Ghost Rider during the New Fantastic Four arc. Mike Wieringo was going to correct it when he redrew the pages, but he suffered AuthorExistenceFailure before he could. The other artists decided not to change it, in honour of Mike.
