* The Friends of Humanity kidnap Roberto Da Costa with intent to sell him to someone who they think performs experiments on mutants. Roberto, who is the heir of a tycoon, offers to pay the ransom of his abduction... [[MoneyIsNotPower to which they laugh]]. He is a mutant and they want him to suffer and die; the trafficking being a means to get money is a literal bonus. Thankfully, the X-Men arrive just in time.
* The hastily-built Sentinels give an eerie impression of being akin to giant robotic zombies, as if they weren't already scary enough.
* Gyrich is much more composed and stoic than he was than the raving fanatic he was in "Graduation Day", but he's still insanely creepy. He icily tells Storm and Cyclops that the recent sympathy to mutants is merely a fad, and calmly states that mutants must not be accepted, but be [[FinalSolution exterminated entirely]] to prevent them from replacing humanity. The similarity to the [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Replacement Great Replacement]] theory and Gyrich's coldness is chilling.

* Jean Grey discovering that she's actually Madelyne Pryor, and that all the times she has shared with the X-Men, including Scott and her son Nathan, were all machinations of a cruel and despicable man. Imagine living your life as normal (as far as normal for being a mutant goes at least) and you've just had your first child and have big plans to start a new life... only to discover it was never your life to begin with.

** VocalEvolution plays a huge part in just how much more of a menace Sinister is now compared to the original series. Back then, Sinister was a ColdHam who [[ChewingTheScenery stole every scene]] he appeared in. With the DarkerAndEdgier tone of '''97'', his more dramatic manner of speech is dialed back considerably, to such an extent where it's almost no longer present. This makes Sinister come off as much more as a SoftSpokenSadist who relishes in tormenting those he manipulates like puppets, making him much more reflective of his visage - a demon.

** Jubilee and Sunspot are sat together watching television, before a haunting voice mimics what the TV character is saying, and said character turns and looks at them with a smile that screams ill intent. Both of them are immediately alarmed... and then the character taps on the screen and ''crashes through it'', turning into a grotesque malformation of flesh that crawls like Sadako through the television. It's also made worse that the creature also takes the face of Roberto's mother all while shouting that he was no son of hers.

** Morph sees Logan in the shower and jokingly offers to help him wash, only for the distorted and familiar voice to reply, with his distorted figure obscured by the steam of the showers. When they realize who it is, the OhCrap face they have speaks volumes about their experiences with the man. Then he leaps out from the steam and attacks Morph like a feral animal.
*** Morph's subsequent reaction is equally terrifying: they genuinely appears to believe that they and the other X-Men are in Hell. It goes a long way to selling their abject, gibbering terror in the face of Sinister, and their continuing trauma response to the man who broke them. Interestingly their comment seems to give Sinister/Madelyn-as-Goblin-Queen some inspiration, as the illusions immediate kick up a notch from 'nightmareish' to 'the team literally is sucked into a fire and brimstone pit and assaulted by demons'.

** For those familiar with the source material, many pray that the [[ComicBook/{{Onslaught}} same aftermath]] wouldn't happen in here. Because if not, everything bad that came before would be absolutely ''trivial'' compared to it.
