Context YMMV / AgeOfApocalypse

Go To

1* CompleteMonster: See Monster/XMen.
2* EnsembleDarkhorse:
3** Blink, though it still took her five years to cheat death and get a book as a BreakoutCharacter.
4** ComicBook/{{Sabretooth}}'s heroic version was well-received, and he became a breakout character; he was put into the main cast of the ComicBook/{{Exiles}} and has appeared in pretty much every story which involves the Age of Apocalypse verse.
5** This version of Sunfire is also often preferred over the main one due to his cool design. In the main universe, they even turned him into a Horseman of Apocalypse to make him look more like this version.
6* OlderThanTheyThink: The comic book event was actually inspired by the ''WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries'' episode "One Man's Worth" (where Xavier is killed before forming the X-Men), not the other way round. Because animation has a much longer development time, the comic event was published before its inspiration aired.
7* {{Squick}}: The Generation Next team member Vincente has the power to turn into a liquid or a gas. At one point, the GN kids are infiltrating a concentration camp. Husk gets inside by posing as a human prostitute hired by one of the camp bosses. She carries Vincente, in his liquid state, with her in a flask. After the camp boss blows her cover, he decides he wants a drink before he kills Husk, and drains the flask containing Vincente. HilarityEnsues.
8* UnintentionallySympathetic: Husk's betrayal was a despicable act, especially after she took a child as a hostage and tried to kill her former friends. But being left behind, witnessing all of her close friends die, including the man she loved, and being tortured for a long time in a CrapsackWorld makes her a JerkassWoobie after all. So, maybe Sunfire [[{{KillItWithFire}} burning her sister alive]] and Magneto [[{{CruelAndUnusualDeath}} crushing her brothers to death]] in front of her, getting a ReasonYouSuckSpeech from Rogue and being ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice by Kirika was a bit too harsh?
9%% * TheWoobie: X-Man, aka Nate Grey.
