* CastFromHitPoints: The real Doom reveals in the first novel that he has to do this in order to use his faulty Cosmic Cube, making him a very, very old man. [[spoiler: He is wrong; he had actually merged with an ''actually'' older version of himself from an alternate universe that had conquered ''his'' world decades ago and aged naturally. Once they are separated, the younger, mainstream Doom murders his older counterpart.[[/spoiler]]

Published in 2000, Steven Roman and Stan Timmons wrote three X-Men novels collectively known as the ''Chaos Engine Trilogy''. Individually, they were known as ''X-Men Doctor Doom Chaos Engine Trilogy Part 1'', ''X-Men Magneto Chaos Engine Trilogy Part 2'', and ''X-Men Red Skull Chaos Engine Trilogy Part 3''. Essentially, the novels each focus on the specific villain in their titles, who have made changes to the world of Earth 616 (the mainstream Marvel Universe) and the X-Men's efforts to stop it. In addition to taking place in the mainstream Marvel Universe, they also take place in the late '90s era of that universe specifically.

!!''X-Men Chaos Engine Trilogy'' provides examples of:

* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Wolverine's claws, natch.
* ActionGirl: All of the superpowered females (Rogue, Psylocke, Phoenix, Storm, Mystique) and even a few of the non-powered ones fits the bill.
* ActuallyADoombot: The trope namer comes into play here, since the "Doom" that was running the altered Earth-616 in the first novel turns out to be one of these. Magneto tears it to pieces.
* AlphaBitch: Saturnyne, big time.
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Gambit to Rogue, right before he dies. She's understandably ticked that it took him dying to tell her.
* BackstabBackfire: Arcade gets this after he tries to betray Doom in the first novel. He ends up fried like a strip of bacon.
* BigBad: Dr. Doom, Magneto, and the Red Skull.
* BigGood: Roma, the Omniversal Majestrix.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The X-Men team has this going for a short time in the first novel with Carol Danvers (blonde), Rogue (Brunette), and Phoenix (redhead).
* BoomHeadshot: This happens to Doom's chief of security, courtesy of Mystique, at one point.
* BrokenBird: While not exactly the poster child for being put together, Rogue really becomes one of these after Gambit's death.
* CastFromHitPoints: The real Doom reveals in the first novel that he has to do this in order to use his faulty Cosmic Cube, making him a very, very old man.
* CombatStilettos: The altered Carol Danvers and Jean Grey have a conversation about them in the first novel after Carol questions their practicality.
* CompositeCharacter: Psylocke is this in Doom's world, where she is a mix between her normal self and Dazzler, since she's a successful singer in that world.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: The altered Archangel does this in the first novel in the arms of his lover, Psylocke.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: Not evil per se, but Rogue wears a red and black costume after her yellow and green one is destroyed in the first novel. It matches her dark mood for the rest of the book very well.
* FlyingBrick: Rogue, since she has her Ms. Marvel powers here.
* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: Outright stated between Psylocke and Archangel.
* HappilyMarried: Dr. Doom and the altered Storm in the first novel, though their relationship has some...unsettling undertones to say the least. Cyclops and Phoenix play this trope to a "T."
* HealingHands: One of Magneto's Acolytes in Doom's world has this as her power.
* HesMine: Rogue tries this with Doom in the first novel, but Magneto kicks her butt to show he wants to kill Doom more.
* HeroicSacrifice: The altered Carol Danvers tries to do this to save the X-Men's lives in the first novel. She's killed almost off-handedly and her sacrifice really didn't amount to much.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Happens to Magneto in the first novel courtesy of Psylocke's psychic knife. If he hand't been wearing his helmet, it'd have turned his brain into soup too.
* InnerMonologue: The preferred form of exposition in the novels. Characters think about past things such as Rogue's absorption of Carol Danvers, Wolverine having his adamantium ripped out in "Fatal Attractions," etc.
* ItAmusedMe: The reason Doom allowed Magneto to oppose his regime in the first novel.
* MindOverMatter: Phoenix, naturally.
* MindRape: This is done to the X-Men in the first novel while under the thumb of Doom's Psi-Division, who use telepathy to tear at their minds.
* MoralityChain: Nightcrawler is often assigned to be one for Wolverine throughout the first novel, to varying success.
* OffWithHerHead: Mystique dies this way in the first novel. Her head even splits in half after it hits the ground.
* POWCamp: Doom has these all over the country. The X-Men liberate one at the beginning of the first novel.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Arcade's assistant Ms. Locke is this.
* RingOfPower: Doom seemingly has these, having stolen them from the Mandarin. In actuality, it's his his Doombot that wears them.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Rogue goes through this in the latter half of the first novel, after the death of Gambit.
* SkunkStripe: Rogue, per usual.
* SnarkToSnarkCombat: Happens between Saturnyne and Psylocke. Both are posh, upper class ladies so...
