* VideoWill: After Sean Cassidy's death, Cyclops delivers his video will to Siryn, explaining that Cassidy Keep is now her's and he wanted to leave her something else, something special his father left him: an old pipe.

* TwoTimerDate: {{Downplayed}}. After sleeping with both Monet and Siryn at the same night without the other knowing, Madrox is hesitant about telling both the truth and keeps the pretense of being in a relationship with them for a while, although he does half-heartedly tries to reject their advances and he eventually tells them the truth.

** Guido's UnexplainedRecovery is actually [[spoiler:Layla going against destiny and using her ressurective powers o bring him BackFromTheDead, but he ends up [[TheSoulless without a soul.]]]]

-->'''Rictor''': ''[about the X-Factor Investigations office]'' What a ''dump''. Kind of a come-down for a high-toned girl like Monet St. Crox.\\

* MistakenForProstitute: In Issue #18, Monet and Terry are standing at a street corner per Layla's instructions. A car pulls up to them and the driver asks how much he'd have to pay them for a threesome. Monet bend a telephone pole and the man wisely drives away.

** This is Jamie Madrox's power (triggered via physical impact), his duplicates are also independent and can developed their own personalities the longer they remained separate from him. Any personality trait can be literally embodied in one of his "dupes"; as well, he sent out dupes to master certain occupations and skills, which after the dupes are reabsorbed, he learns as well.
** PlayedWith in regards to Damian Tryp who [[exists in all points in his own lifetime, being a "true multiple man". He can even pull versions of himself from the past]].

* HomeNudist: One issue shows Monet in the privacy of her room, shrugging off her robe and dancing to the tune of "I'm Too Sexy". Naturally, [[AccidentalPervert Rictor barges at that moment]] and gets an eyeful.

* FantasticSlurs: After the Decimation, Mutant Town starts using "Pans" and "Rems" to refer to it's mutant citizens. Pans stands for '''P'''ass '''A'''s '''N'''ormal, who are former mutants that now appear completely human (Like Rictor and Jubilee). Rems is short for Remnants, former mutants left with some artifcat of their former powers such as horns, bone crests, or odd tentacles (Like Marrow and Blob).

* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Inverted. Jamie was apparently the only one who was aware of Shatterstar anf Rictor's attraction.

* DisabilityImmunity: In Issue #233, Siryn uses her CompellingVoice to make the members of an anti-Mutant hate group drop their firearms and surrender peacefully. Unfortunately, one of them is deaf and his attack makes Siryn lose her concentration starting a fight betweex X-Factor and the hate group.

* ComicBookDeath: Explored early on in the series, when Siryn is informed her dad has died (over in ''Deadly Genesis''). Siryn assumes, not unreasonably given da's an X-Man, that he might still be alive and refuses to even consider the possibility he might be pushing up the daises, much to everyone else's discomfort.

** Madrox completely loses his cool when one their clients reveals he was a scientist trying to recreate the [[DepopulationBomb Legacy Virus]] that targets only mutants.

** The elderly senile ComicBook/DoctorDoom from [[BadFuture Earth-1191]] is amazingly polite, by Doom's standards at least, toward Madrox and Layla. [[spoiler:Until his inevitable betrayal]].

!!The third series provides examples of the following tropes:

** Vanora is build up to have a major confrotation with Rahne and has a partnership with Elder Tryp, but she's seemingly killed anticlimatically by Shatterstar without them even realizing she was Rahne's daughter from another universe. She's later seem fully recovering... but then never shows up again.

* ArousedByTheirVoice: Siryn's power allows her to manipulate her vocal cords to sound extra sexy, hypnotizing others into lusting after het. It can even happen without her noticing, although mutants are immune to it.

** Monet ''hates'' being under the mental thrall of others due to her time under the control of her brother, Emplate, and transforming her into the identity of Penance. She punches Cortex ''through his chest'' after he takes control of her for a couple of issues and is furios with Pip the Troll when he [[BrainUploading transfers his mind into her body to escape death.]]

** Darwin's father, Hector Muñoz is introduced as a worried father who hired XF Investigations to find his son, but later it's revealed he wanted to find Darwin just to sell him to the Karma Project.

But during her theraphy sessions she confesses her "M" persona is mostly a front and she suffers from severe trauma due to what her brother Emplate did to her during the time she was stuck as Penance.

** Longshot DNA is hardwired to draw attention from the opposite sex. And [[EvenTheGuysWantHim sometimes even the same sex.]]

* CompellingVoice: Siryn can use her voice to make people become attracted to her, regardless of gender, and they become susceptible to anything she orates. Mutants are immune to this power, but other supers aren't. Notably, she never used these powers before this run.

* CouldSayItBut: When Rahne and Jamie go to the orphanage Layla's returned to, the director tells them they could try signing her out, but there's no way they'd manage to make a successful case for adoption. However, if Layla just ''happened'' to run away again, well, there'd be a lot of difficulty in finding her. Heck, in all likelihood, her case would fall through the cracks...

** They play a small part in the ''ComicBook/TheChildrensCrusade'' story, explaining to ComicBook/ScarletWitch about her [[ComicBook/{{Quicksilver}} brother's]] attempt at restoring muntant's powers with Terrigen Crystals. Rictor also ends up being {{Re Power}}ed by Wanda.

** After being knocked out of the Baxter Building by Shatterstar, ComicBook/TheThing threatens to "[[AssShove shove his head so far up his rectum]], he'll be wearing his colon for an easter bonnet]].

* FateWorseThanDeath: Cortex and Falcone are throw into a vortex to a unknown reality and are never seen again.

** Syren can fly in the [[NotQuiteFlight same odd manner her father can, by manipulating sounds waves to propel herself through the air]], and sometimes even carries some of her teammates.

* HarmlessElectrocution: When Monet is electrocuted by one of Arcade's {{Death Trap}}s, it causes her to lose councious for a small period of time but no real damage, but more amusingly, it leaves her hair a wild mess for a while.

* TheNoseKnows: [[spoiler: Rahne figures out that Guido's story of Buchanan "disapperaing" is false when she smells the man's scent on his hands.]]

* PretenderDiss: Morrigan doesn't think too highly of Siryn taking the name "Banshee" and tries to kill her over it. [[spoiler:Subverted in that she's actually testing if Syrin is worth of taking ''her'' place as the next Morrigan.]]

* RedheadInGreen: Syrin is a green-eyed redhead with green as a predominant color in her costume. Even in her civvies she's usually wearing green. Once when she started bleeding on her clothes, she made a dark joke about how "red goes with her outfit".

* SpottingTheThread: Meeting with Rahne, absent Rictor and Shatterstar after they were apparently traveling with her, Madrox and Havok note something is off. Then Jamie asks about her cross necklace, which "Rahne" casually dismisses as not important. This clues both in that something is massively off.

* ThatThingIsNotMyChild: Rahne has this reaction upon giving birth to Tier who viciously murders Agamemnon moments after being born. She later greatly regrets having rejected her child.

** In the mutant concentration camp of a BadFuture, Layla mentions how 80 years ago, China blasted a satellite in space into millions of pieces that were scattered across Earth's orbit. Some those pieces then begin falling into the camp. Layla mentioned that the government originally focused on monitoring these things but diverted funds to focusing on mutants as a threat.

* SkewedPriorities: Monet comes off as being incredibly vain and self-centered. At one point, she's shot by an assailant. She's perfectly fine, due to her SuperToughness, but she's pissed that he's [[ClothingDamage ruined her shirt]], and wants to break several of his bones for it. During the beginning of Hell on Earth, she would much rather attack her teammates for not being any help when Pip took over her body, even as Polaris points out there's a combination of volcano eruption[=/=] demon attack going on.

* DrowningMySorrows: After the end of the "Hell on Earth" war and the team being split up, Polaris is shown in a bar getting drunk.

* BreakingTheFellowship: The "Breaking Point" arc has various member quit the team, one by one for different reasons: Guido, Rahne, Siryn and Havok.

* DietyOfHumanOrigin: [[spoiler: Theresa becomes the new Morrigan after killing the previous one in order to gain the power to cure Polaris's mental breakdown. The previous Morrigan herself was once an ordinary human before she killed the original and claimed her title and powers]].

* DietyOfHumanOrigin: [[spoiler: Theresa becomes the new Morrigan after killing the previous one in order to gain the power to cure Polaris's mental breakdown. The previous Morrigan herself was once an oridinary human before she killed the original and claimed her title and powers]].

** Pip the Troll does this to a mugger in issue #246.

* JoinTheArmyTheySaid: Darwin has this complaint when bits of [[KillerRobot sentinel]] fall on him.
-->'''Darwin''': "Join X-Factor, she said. We're low-key. No giant robots..." Riiiight...
