** Creator/JohnByrne had an idea about Franchise/{{Wolverine}} killing Kitty that was never used. "The definitive Wolverine sequence is he's sitting at the breakfast table, eating a bowl of cereal, and Kitty comes in and says, "Hi!" in exactly the wrong tone of voice, and ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} comes in, and there's Wolverine eating his breakfast cereal, and Kitty lying on the floor disemboweled."
** According to Claremont on the 100th episode of "Jay and Miles X-Plain the X-Men," his romantic endgame for Kitty was that she'd end up with Rachel Summers.
** According to showrunners of the 90's ''WesternAnimation/XMen'' cartoon, Kitty was actually the first choice for the "kid" character, but having already been used in the failed 1989 ''WesternAnimation/PrydeOfTheXMen'' pilot[[note]]pitched to Creator/{{NBC}}, and later used as the basis for the ''VideoGame/XMen'' arcade game[[/note]], executives said no, so ComicBook/JubileeMarvelComics was used instead.
** ''Mekanix'' was a miniseries that took place during Kitty's hiatus from the X-Men when she was attending university in Chicago, and a few issues of ''X-Men Unlimited'' chronicled her time there as well, including briefly dating a cop who looked like the dead-at-the-time Colossus. Sadly, none of this panned out into an ongoing series starring Shadowcat as Chicago's own superhero.

Grace talked openly about Iceman’s success outside of the direct market with a new audience reading the book in trades, despite his [[ExecutiveMeddling editor telling him that Iceman would be “DOA if too gay” and that most solo X-books don’t last a year anyway]]. He also mentioned Marvel’s initial willingness under Axel Alonso to give the book a chance to succeed in this format, which eventually led to another volume of the book after the first's cancellation. Grace says things changed when Alonso was replaced by C.B. Cebulski as Marvel Editor-in-Chief.

All he was going to do was tell me how to fend for myself.

Fabulous, yes. Heterosexual, yes. Still kind of the gay character, though.''
** Grace also says that he doesn’t view his treatment as discrimination, but rather “general ineptness,” and concludes:

Instead of feeling like I worked with some of the most inspiring and brave people in comics, I was surrounded by cowards.''

* DevelopmentHell: The planned Gambit feature film has suffered frequent delays, numerous script issues, and the loss of ''multiple'' directors. It's actually made ''Film/{{Deadpool|2016}}'''s journey to the big screen seem like smooth sailing by comparison. It was supposed to have entered production by 2016, but by February, 2017 no further headway has been made, and many fans now doubt the film will even happen. However in October 2017, the film's preproduction has begun and was confirmed for a February 2019 release, so only time will tell if this doesn't result in another delay. In January 2018 director Creator/GoreVerbinski, who was set to direct it, left the project due to scheduling conflicts. In September 2018, it got a new release date of March 13, 2020. In January 2019 the film was reportedly scrapped, likely due to Disney buying Fox and resulting in the X-Men characters becoming part of the MCU. Disney proceeded to remove the film from Fox's release slate, along with several other Marvel projects from them, a few months later.

** [[https://www.cbr.com/gambit-cyclops-mister-sinister-chris-claremont-clone/ Claremont's intended backstory]] for Gambit was that he was a "proxy" for a villain who had fallen for Rogue and was using him to draw her to him. In Claremont's version, Gambit would develop his own humanity after falling for Rogue. This was tied in with Mr Sinister's original backstory of being a perpetual little kid who created a villain persona, hence why Gambit has red eyes just like Sinister.

!!Trivia items for the [[Comicbook/XMen comics]]:
* ExecutiveMeddling: Prior to Disney's buyout of 20th Century Fox, Marvel actively tried to devalue the X-Men due to the rival studio owning their film rights. Part of this was done by actively diminishing their focus in the comics, pushing [[ComicBook/TheInhumans the Inhumans]] as Marvel's new superhuman minority and retconning Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver from mutants and Magneto's children into mutates with no relation to him.

** The main villain in the "Mutant Massacre" arc was supposed to be The Fury, an unstoppable cybernetic HeroKiller. The main villain in the subsequent "Fall of the Mutants" arc was supposed to be RealityWarper Mad Jim Jaspers. Both of these villains were created by Creator/AlanMoore during his run on ''ComicBook/CaptainBritain'', but Moore had quit Marvel by that time, upset at Marvel for using his creations without being compensated for their use. Marvel chose not to use Moore's creations, leaving Claremont to create Mr. Sinister and the Marauders for the first arc, and the Adversary for the second.

** The ''Astonishing X-Men'' ongoing series took full four years to complete a 25-issue storyline. As a result, [[Comicbook/KittyPryde Shadowcat]] being PutOnABus was spoiled by ''Messiah Complex'': since its events couldn't take place before it, Kitty was nowhere in sight. The series is notoriously hard to fit into Marvel continuity, as it appears to take place over at most a few weeks, but the second arc is set prior to ''ComicBook/HouseOfM'' (Xavier and Comicbook/{{Magneto}} are hanging out on the ruined Genosha), the third is set after ''ComicBook/SecretWar'' (Maria Hill has taken over from Nick Fury), and the final arc includes a dialogue reference to ''ComicBook/CivilWar'' having happened!

** Madelyn Pryor was originally intended to be just as she appeared -- a woman who looked exactly like Jean, but nothing more. However, when plans were started to resurrect Jean to reform the Original X-Men for the 25th anniversary of the title, a major problem presented itself -- Scott and Maddy had married and were happy. That's when the Summers marriage fell apart. Hence the twist that she was a clone engineered by Mister Sinister, her becoming the Goblyn Queen and [[MurderTheHypotenuse her death]] during ''Inferno''.
** Mister Sinister;s origin was originally very different: he was a young rival of Cyclops who couldn't age. By the time Cyclops was an adult, Kid Sinister was still stuck as an 8-year-old (physically and mentally), and he used his mutant powers to change his appearance into that of a gaudy, over-the-top supervillain: an 8-year-old's vision of a cool supervillain. When considering that origin, Mr. Sinister's corny appearance, unimpressive name, and stereotypical supervillain demeanor actually make sense. It also explains his minions: The Nasty Boys (a name an 8-year-old would be far more likely to pick than a mad geneticist) earn their name by being filthy ultra-slobs, living in conditions akin to the ''X-Men: Evolution'' version of the Brotherhood. In other words, they never take baths or clean their space — part of an 8-year-old's idea of perfect freedom.
