''X-Man'', initially launched as part of the 1995 ''ComicBook/AgeOfApocalypse'' event, stars [[Characters/MarvelComicsXMan Nate Grey]], the titular X-Man. Nate, an extremely powerful telepath and telekinetic, was one of the few characters from the ''Age of Apocalypse'' AlternateUniverse to move into the main Franchise/MarvelUniverse at the end of the crossover, and most of his series saw him trying to find a place for himself in a world that already contained a [[Characters/MarvelComicsCable Cable]] very different variant]] of him, with familiar-seeming allies and enemies who were very different to the versions he once knew.

* GoMadFromTheRevelation:
** This is arguably what happens to Nate, after his Earth-998 counterpart opened up his mind to the full array of possibilities inherent in his powers, which as ''Dark X-Men'' later revealed, included over 300 ways to see the future. Certainly, his quirky and somewhat detached personality dates from that point, and he becomes significantly more normal when he's later stripped of most of his powers in ''ComicBook/NewMutants''.
** Idris, a resident of the Brilliant City, the top of the Spiral of Worlds, is revealed to have split herself across the multiverse after this happened to her. When Nate manages to merge her counterparts, she finally remembers what it was, as Nate reveals to the inhabitants of the Brilliant City. [[spoiler: She looked up and she saw that there were far higher realities that saw them as totally irrelevant]].
* HumanoidAbomination:
** The Harvester, which takes on humanoid form.
** Nate himself more or less qualifies, [[TheNeedless flat out stating that he only does things like eat, sleep, and breathe]] to make the ordinary people around him more comfortable.

* WeakButSkilled:
** Nate's Earth-998 counterpart in comparison to Nate himself.
** Nate himself is this to Qabiri, who possesses the raw power to destroy worlds, even universes. While Nate can't take him on directly, he's more flexible and cunning.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Nate becomes far more powerful, and rather less sane.

''Counter-X'' is a set of linked story arcs running through the final year of the Creator/MarvelComics series ''ComicBook/XMan''. It's part of a wider ''Counter-X'' {{Retool}} by Creator/WarrenEllis, which redefined three long-running books within the ''Franchise/XMen'' franchise, trying to define a distinct direction and identity for each one.

* CharacterDevelopment: Nate's jarring difference in personality as compared to before; gone the explosive temper and a desire to fit in, replaced by an almost creepy calm and TranquilFury, as well as a tendency towards esoteric philosophising and acceptance that he's on the outside. The change takes place in the flashback part of ''The Infinities of Evil'', partly thanks to the events of the arc and [[spoiler: Nate's semi FusionDance with his Earth-998 counterpart]].
