* YouKeepUsingThatWord: For most of the run, Cyclops calls his actions a 'revolution', leading people to think he was going full supervillain and was planning a revolution against humanity/the United States. He wasn't ''quite'' using the wrong word (he ''was'' calling for a change in society, but he meant it was time for mutants to stop being picked on, ''not'' for mutants to take over), but his using of it caused people to misunderstand his intentions. In the last few issues, Scott himself acknowledges he used the wrong word for what he wanted, but he needed the world to ''fear'' him because it was the only way he saw them changing.

* StopOrIWillShoot: The Police are insanely aggressive and don't hesitate to shoot when given the chance. Given how mutants are generally hated and feared, and law enforcement officials have historically been rather hostile to discriminated groups, if not part of the hate groups themselves, this should surprise no-one, though it's still cranked UpToEleven even by traditional Marvel U standards.

The third volume of ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen'' was launched in 2013 as part of Marvel's Comicbook/MarvelNOW relaunch. Written by Creator/BrianMichaelBendis, the volume takes place after the events of ''Comicbook/AvengersVsXMen'' with the mutant gene restored and with it the status quo. Mutants are being persecuted as they awaken and the ComicBook/XMen are divided. ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} has become the face of a Mutant Revolution in order to prevent past tragedies from repeating, bringing him into conflict with old allies and ComicBook/TheAvengers.

!!The third volume provides examples of the following tropes:
* AcademyOfAdventure: Cyclops' New Xavier School and Wolverine's Jean Grey Institute of Higher Learning.
* AccidentalKidnapping: Cyclops is kidnapped by some bounty hunters mistaking him for Havok (their client didn't bother to mention he wanted the Summers brother who has blast ''rings'' coming out of his ''chest and hands''}.
* AdaptiveAbility: The new Sentinel's are modified to counter any mutant power they encounter previously.
* AllForNothing: [[spoiler:In the final issue, Cyclops begins the mutant revolution - a peaceful demonstration that shows that mutants can co-exist with regular humans. After the 8-month TimeSkip following ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'', mutants are going extinct because of Terrigenesis and are hated more than ever.]]
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Maria Hill is attracted to Cyclops, despite trying to arrest him for technically being a criminal.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer
* AntiHero: Cyclops, and the team in general, barring the students.
* BackFromTheBrink: Due to the efforts of Scarlet Witch and Hope in ''Comicbook/AvengersVsXMen'', this happens to the entire mutant race, due to the reactivation of the mutant gene from the destruction of the Phoenix Force.
* BadassTeacher: Magik is now a teacher and has become even ''more'' powerful.
* BerserkButton: Seeing all the Mutant Growth Hormone floating around in Madripoor and Mystique having the audacity to claim it was their new Genosha sent Mags on a rampage. He literally dropped a building on her in the end.
* BigBad: Regarding the whole S.H.I.E.L.D. VS X-Men thing, it's revealed that [[spoiler: Dark Beast]] was behind the conflict.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: Hijack]], in issue #22, during S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attach on the Jean Grey school. [[spoiler: He]] single-handedly ruins [[spoiler: Dark Beast's]] plans.
* BrokenAce: Magneto, Cyclops, and Emma. [[spoiler: Also, Magik, as eventually revealed]].
** [[spoiler:Dazzler too, after being captured and used for months without any help.]]
* BlackMagicianGirl: Magik. [[spoiler:Even moreso after training with Doctor Strange in the past.]]
* CategoryTraitor: Dazzler to Cyclops' group. [[spoiler:More so to Mystique, who imitates her and causes no end of problems for them.]]
* CharmPerson: Part of Benjamin's powers.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Benjamin/Morph originally had hints he was attracted to Magik. Then when protesting against using his powers to seduce a random woman, he reveals he's gay.
* ClassTrip: The Uncanny Kids get sent to Tabula Rasa for training. [[spoiler:It ends with some time-travel induced trauma for Eva and Hijack being kicked off the team.]]
* ContinuitySnarl: The arc dealing with Xavier's testament started before Wolverine bit the dust and ended after it.....which results in him being present on the beginning, but mysteriously vanishing after, which doesn't make any sense, considering that it didn't take that long in the end and the involvement of other characters (like Kitty Pryde) in both storylines.
* CoordinatedClothes: The Stepford Sisters rock this for some time but began to differentiate.
* CoversAlwaysLie: At this point you shouldn't even believe the solicitations.
* CrazyPrepared: Scott had a program set to ensure that the students could get to safety in the event of his, Magick, and Emma's deaths.
* CurbStompBattle:
** Tempus vs The Avengers. They couldn't even land the first hit!
** Magneto vs Mystique and her bunch. What makes it even more awesome is that Erik is injured ''and'' has his powers broken and still gives the scumbags a run for their money.
* DeadlyTrainingArea: The Danger Room, naturally. Tabula Rasa as well.
* DespairEventHorizon: As of issue 31, Cyclops now seems to have reached it. [[spoiler: He shuts down his school and asks Ororo to take in his students!]].
* DistractedByTheSexy: Benjamin is distracted by Magik. His power also works like this to some degree (he's able to make people trust him by subtly shifting to resemble them, becoming someone they would trust and/or be attracted to).
* ElaborateUndergroundBase: The New Xavier School.
* EmotionControl:
** [[spoiler:The Stepford Sisters are ordered by Emma to take away the group of new mutant's fear in order to deal with the demons in Issue #6, averting MindOverManners, since this was basically a GodzillaThreshold situation.]]
** Irma does it later in Issue #17 to calm Triage down, but he doesn't mind.
* FantasticRacism: In full-force now that the Mutant population has started to rise up again.
** Slightly subverted in that mutants are also receiving far more visible support than ever before from humans; as seen in both ''Uncanny'' and ''All-New'', a good number of humans (primarily college-age and teens) are romanticizing the idea of being a mutant, and Cyclops, while wanted by the authorities, is treated as some kind of messiah by a good number of citizens for the well-intentioned acts he did while Phoenix-up'd, prior to being driven mad by the power and the fight with the Avengers.
** After running into a newly awakened Inhuman, the team questions whether or not they will be the victims of racism against the Inhumans, since, as they point out, it is hard to tell the difference between an Inhuman and a mutant.
* FantasticRecruitmentDrive: Guess.
* FightsLikeANormal: Cyclops and the others train the students to do this.
* ForcedToWatch: [[spoiler: Dormammu forces Magik to watch as he orders his demons to kill her friends/students in Issue #6.]]
* FrameUp: The mysterious Bubble-Head is framing Maria Hill for the attacks against Cyclops' team so as to get them to go to war with one another. Both sides suspect something is amiss, a third-party in play, but neither one can trust that the other isn't guilty.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: Matthew Malloy has very little characterization beyond "overwhelmingly powerful" and ultimately proves beyond reason, forcing the heroes to take [[RetGone extreme measures]] to deal with him.
* GodzillaThreshold: With no choice left in dealing with Dormammu, [[spoiler:Magik had to take the entirety of Limbo inside of her and jump back in time to see Doctor Strange for help.]]
** [[spoiler:With no one able to hold Malloy in check, Eva pulls Professor Xavier from the past and into the present. And they stop him from ever being born.]]
* GuestStarPartyMember: [[ComicBook/AllNewXMen The O5 X-Men and Kitty Pryde]], who joined the team, but were only in a few issues before going into space for the "Trial of Jean Grey" crossover with ''ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy''. Since coming back, they've yet to appear in this series, but ''Uncanny'''s cast appears in ''All-New''.
* HaveYouTriedNotBeingAMonster: Fabio's parents hit him with this in Issue 8 and Eva's mother gave her a lighter version in Issue 3. Not overt about it, but they think its something Church can fix and don't accept it.
* HealingHands: Triage
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower:
** Fabio can and does earn the team's respect when he starts using his balls as projectiles, knocking back a brand-new Sentinel.
** Benjamin, whose power isn't so much useless as it is not for combat, learns that his power isn't just shapeshifting, but the power to make people feel good about themselves and hinder technology, making him suitable for infiltration or calming down hostile situations (which saved Celeste's life at one point).
* HeelFaceTurn: Exodus, of all people, makes an [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot incredibly wasted one]] by joining up with S.H.I.E.L.D. as the commander of their Psi division, only to be [[MakeWayForTheNewVillains trashed by new villain]] Malloy a few panels later. The hows and whys are never explained, [[spoiler:and are ultimately made moot when Malloy and the whole storyline is tied up via RetGone]].
* HeroicComedicSociopath: Emma and Illyana, who both make light of maybe robbing a casino.
* HotForTeacher: Eva for Cyclops initially. It's so obvious that all the other students picked up on it.
** Benjamin originally had hints that he was hot for Magik, but turns out to be gay.
* HumanResources: Guess where all that Mutant Growth Hormone in Madripoor is coming from? [[spoiler:It's being harvested from Dazzler by Mystique.]]
* IAmNotLeftHanded: In #19 when the team has their mutant powers nullified, somehow, Magik resorts to using the spells that she learned from Dr. Strange.
* InvoluntaryShapeshifter: Benjamin, at first.
* ItsAllMyFault: Issue #29 if full of this:
** [[spoiler:Magneto blames himself for not noticing Cyclops had a breakdown after killing Xavier and not is putting them in harm's way by going too far in recruiting Malloy as a WellIntentionedExtremist.]]
** [[spoiler:Malloy blames himself for killing all those people.]]
** [[spoiler:Scott for Xavier.]]
* KillAndReplace: Or "Drug and Replace in this case: Mystique has taken over Dazzler's role within S.H.I.E.L.D. without them knowing it. She's been locked up and kept sedated so Mystique can use her blood.
* MistakenIdentity: Scott is mistaken for Alex by some bounty hunters in the Annual Issue.
* NotAMorningPerson: Emma Frost, who has told her students to never wake her.
* OffModel: During the Uncanny X-Men/Iron Man/Nova special crossover, in ''Nova Special'', we have Tempus spontaneously have telepathy apparently, because she got one of Irma's speech bubbles. Oops.
* PlotRelevantAgeUp: In Issue #17 [[spoiler:Eva ends up lost in time for a bit and comes back after over seven years in 2099, becoming a mother, and a trip through time from the beginning to the future and then the present again.]]
* PoliceBrutality: The cop in Issue #8 promptly shoots a mutant and threatened to do the same to his girlfriend.
* PowerIncontinence: Anyone who had been taken in or doused with the Phoenix Force has had their power altered and fluctuated, the Phoenix Five and Magneto being the main ones.
** Matthew Malloy [[spoiler:can't initially control his powers, so he winds up killing everyone in a ten miles radius.]]
** Eva [[spoiler:up going through time by a number of several millennia because she lost control of her powers.]]
* PsychosomaticSuperpowerOutage: [[spoiler: Apparently this is the case with Emma, because the moment she learned Scott was killed, she regained her telepathy while in grief.]]
* RabidCop: The cops cross into this territory more often than needed.
* RetGone: [[spoiler:Xavier and Eva eventually settle the whole Malloy issue by stopping his parents from meeting, making it so he was never born and undoing the damage. This crosses a line Scott was highly uncomfortable with.]]
* SameSexTriplets: The Stepford Sisters. Although Irma decided to cut her hair and dye it black while Phoebe decides to go and become a redhead.
* SchmuckBait: [[spoiler:The Pro-mutant rally. Emma even said it was a trap and this was after Magneto, who they aware is playing double agent, urged them to send a message back. It wasn't intentional by either S.H.I.E.L.D. or the people, but a new type of Sentinel did drop down and attempt to kill them.]]
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Triage, on the field trip to Tabula Rasa, because he saw a fist-sized spider-slug thing. Note he didn't scream like that when he was sent to '''Limbo''' or facing a Sentinel.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere:
** [[spoiler:Fabio wants out after having to deal with the demons in Limbo. He comes back an issue later.]]
** [[spoiler: Magneto]], who went off into his own series. He pops back up every now and again.
** [[spoiler:Eva decides she's graduated to the point she can do whatever the hell she wants and leaves the school.]]
* SecretTestOfCharacter: Issue 17, which opens with Magik teleporting the students to an unfamiliar location (Tabula Rasa) and telling them to "Have fun." The test was to see what kind of survival skills and character the students have. Only one of them failed because he deliberately kept his phone despite being warned that S.H.I.E.L.D. would track them to it, which they did in 15 minutes.
* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: Eva's ideal for the Malloy problem and to stop Cyclops from potentially making a huge mistake. [[spoiler:She goes back to the past, years ago when Charles Xavier was still alive and then brings him into the future, before stopping Malloy from being born.]]
* SexyMentor: Emma Frost decides to wear a sexy punk-ish outfit when comforting Benjamin after his fight with Scott. It just makes him incredibly uncomfortable since he's only wearing a towel at the time.
* ShipTease: Irma and Triage have a bit of this going around.
* TheStoolPigeon: David Bonds' girlfriend, Karen, promptly tells the Police when confronted that he was a mutant. Then she acts shocked and horrified when they shoot him.
* StopOrIWillShoot: The Police are insanely aggressive and don't hesitate to shoot when given the chance. Given how mutants are generally hated and feared, and law enforcement officials have historically been rather hostile to discriminated groups, if not part of the hate groups themselves, this should surprise no-one.
* StraightGay: Borders on ButNotTooGay; Benjamin/Morph claims to be gay when arguing with Emma in issue 14. At no point prior to this was there any indication he was gay, and actually seemed to have some attraction to Magik. He spends the whole issue basically flirting with every man and woman Emma can find for him to practice his abilities.
* SuperpowerLottery: Tempus can pull a TimeStandsStill in a specified area [[spoiler:and has the potential to be a TimeMaster]], Triage has HealingHands that can heal even the dead apparently (including himself), Benjamin is a {{Shapeshifter}} with bonus powers, David Bond is a {{Technopath}}, and Fabio... [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway can shoot balls from his body.]]
** And then, beating them all out, is Matthew Malloy, who is considered the strongest mutant ever over the course of three issues of the Last Will and Testament of Charles Xavier. He can teleport, read minds, matter annihilation, and a huge amount of other powers.
* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: Cyclops gets Matthew to simply talk to him before he uses his powers to hurt anyone else. [[spoiler:Then SHIELD kills him and Magik for a few issues.]]
* TheGlassesComeOff: When these come off in Issue 1 every Sentinel attacking Cyclops' group was wiped out.
* TheseHandsHaveKilled: Malloy certainly thinks so.
* TimeStandsStill: Eva Bell a.k.a. Tempus can do this to a localized area.
* TookALevelInBadass: All the kids are gradually improving.
** Fabio not only bravely stood up to, but even knocked back the very challenging Blockbuster Sentinel with a bombardment of balls.
** Benjamin calmed an highly-advanced race of telepathic creatures in Tabula Rasa without fear after they put down Celeste.
** Tempus can move them throughout time to avoid attacks.
** Magik deserves mention too since started studying magic with Doctor Strange. In one possible future, she will have become Sorcerer Supreme of the ''Galaxy''.
** Hijack started out being able to turn on cars and stuff... And can now hijack Helicarriers that themselves are already hijacked.
* TookALevelInJerkass: ComicBook/{{Dazzler}} of all people, who unlawfully takes Fabio into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody. As he pointed out, they did kidnap him, although S.H.I.E.L.D. has done worse and her interrogation wasn't violent. [[spoiler:That being said, Mystique doesn't do wonders for her reputation afterwards since she's intent on taking down both S.H.I.E.L.D. and Cyclops.]]
** The general staff of JGS at times, but Iceman just can't help but shoot barb after barb at Cyke.
** To the surprise of ''everyone'' we have [[spoiler:Eva Bell, who blames Cyclops for the Malloy incident (which he had nothing to do with since that was in motion long ago) and threatens him to pull his shit together or she'd make it so his parents never met and he wasn't born.]]
* UsedToBeASweetKid: The students find a picture of the original New Mutants and are astounded at how normal Magik used to be.
* VillainDecay: ''In the same issue as his first appearance, no less'', the villain behind Cyke's kidnapping goes from sipping wine and acting regal and menacing to a complete pushover who can't stand up to his hired EliteMooks.
* WalkingTechbane: Part of Benjamin's powers.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Cyclops is turning into one. He was content to be a martyr or a political prisoner, but after he witnessed a mutant being killed and the warden of the prison orchestrating it, he allowed Magneto to break him out in ''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen'', which sets up the premise for the series. There's more focus on the well-intentioned part though; all he wants is to protect mutants at all costs and doesn't wish to harm anyone, but refuses to back down when he sees anyone attacking mutants or mutant-supporting humans.
* WhatTheHellHero: Scott to Captain America when they encounter each other in Issue 3.
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Fabio and Benjamin. Although, see HeartIsAnAwesomePower.
* TheWorfEffect: The Avengers get taken out by [[TimeStandsStill Tempus]], a new mutant who hasn't even come into her powers for more than a week at best.
** Inflicted upon the incredibly powerful Exodus by Matthew Malloy as a quick and easy way for Bendis to demonstrate how powerful he was.
* WorthyOpponent: Magik has repeatedly shown she has a large respect for Doctor Strange's prowess in the mystic arts despite being on opposite teams at the moment. She even takes lessons from him in the past to control her powers better.
