5	The story once again follows the young mutant, Blink. This time around, she is joined by Kamala Khan (formerly Ms. Marvel), Valkyrie, Iron Lad (Nate Richards), and Wolvie. They take up the Exiles mantle once again as they travel through the Multiverse. They're brought together for the first time to destroy a new threat that's eating away at the Multiverse, threatening to destroy everything & everyone one. The Unseen, formerly Nick Fury, calls on the champion, Blink, to set things right again. However, this is only the beginning for Blink & our new team of Exiles.

7	----
8	!!The third volume provides examples of the following tropes:
9	%%* AfroAsskicker: Blink now has afro style kinky hair.
10	* AndTheAdventureContinues: After the conflict with the Watchers is settled, the Exiles take a reprieve, but Blink knows it's only a matter of time before there is some crisis in the multiverse only the Exiles can solve, and they'll be there to solve it.
11	* BadassLongcoat: Blink sports one of these
12	* BadFuture: In Issue #12, the rogue Watchers trap the teammates in their own individual darkest timelines.
13	** T'Challa is sent to a timeline where Wakanda was conquered by Ulysses Klaw, among the victims being the Dora Milaje and T'Challa's sister Shuri.
14	** Captain Peggy Carter's bad timeline is one where Baron Zemo defeats her and uses her blood to create an army of Nazi supersoldiers, easily conquering the world.
15	** Becky Barnes is trapped in a timeline where she never got in the Army, and is a meek closeted housewife to an abusive husband.
16	** Valkyrie's bad future is Ragnarok, where Surtur arrives, overpowers all of Asgard's forces, and kills everyone in the realm.
17	** Blink is sent back to the Age of Apocalypse timeline from which she came.
18	** Iron Lad is sent to the future where he becomes Kang the Conqueror. [[spoiler:And to rescue his teammates, he's forced to remain trapped in that timeline forever.]]
19	** [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Wolvie's darkest timeline]] [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DxscLbIVsAANfa2.jpg is literally just]] ''WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries'', which he finds too violent and intense for a child like him. At least he likes the theme song, though.
20	* BigDamnReunion: Sabretooth & Morph have this with Blink in chapters five & three respectively.
21	* ClassicalCyclops: When the Exiles fall into a world based on stories from the ''Thousand and One Nights'', they come across an island where Sinbad's crew is attacked by cyclopses, except the giants all bear the distinctive visor of the mutant ComicBook/{{Cyclops}}.
22	* ComeWithMeIfYouWantToLive: It's played with regarding Wolvie, who meets the gang and tells them to "Come with me if you want pie." Blink lampshades it by saying that was a new one.
23	* CowboyEpisode: In chapters six & seven, the group goes to an Old West universe and do battle with an Western version of Magneto & his Brotherhood.
24	* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: The Time-Eater has the power of many Galactuses and he has already devoured several multiverses in his bid to become God. Blink gives him a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, by finding an army of alternate Blinks and various friends she met and having all these individuals gang up on the Time-Eater. The Exiles actually had a harder time fighting the Juggernautical in a prior issue.
25	* DreamWeaver: Khan's daughter's powers turn out to be blending dreams and reality to her desires. This allows her to let her mom send Blink a message from their timeline and deliver the Tallus to her.
26	* EarnYourHappyEnding: Every one of the Exiles allies get this. Nocturne gets to retire as the leader of a country, Khan is reunited with her family, and the Exiles are in the clear to relax before their next mission. About the only one who doesn't get one is [[spoiler:Iron Lad, who chooses to sacrifice himself to the role of becoming Kang to save his friends, but he's glad to have had friends in the first place.]]
27	* HijackingCthulhu: The teams first arc villain is the Time Eater, a being that consumes timelines who turns out to be a Kang that's cannibalizing the Galactus' of various universes for power.
28	* ImportantHaircut: Blink now has short curly hair, curly most-likely being its natural state. She mentions getting it cut when she met up with her long-lost family in the Bahamas.
29	* IntergenerationalFriendship: Wolvie with the rest of the Exiles, being they're all adults & he's from the X-Babies universe. But it's especially noticeable with him and King, aka Cowboy T'Challa. The two share many sweet moments, with Wolvie even saving him from drowning. While the group has become a family, Wolvie seems closest to King.
30	* LawfulStupid: The Unspoken is meant to follow the Watcher's creed of noninterference as a part of his punishment, so him helping the Exiles on the path to ''saving the multiverse'' gets them both punished with a KangarooCourt where said reality saving is counted as evidence of their transgression before their summary execution. They do consider themselves part of a [[NoTrueScotsman more faithful]] faction of the Watchers however.
31	* TheLeader: No surprise, but Blink functions as this for the team, just like the previous series.
32	* LongLostRelative: Ms. Sandra, Blink's aunt, whom she recently found & reconnected with. She still calls her "Ms Sandra" on habit, who insists Blink just call her "auntie."
33	* MadeOfIron: Iron Lad, kinda self-explanatory.
34	* ObliviousGuiltSlinging: Khan is coerced to work against the team under the promise of being reunited with her dead husband and children. Wolvie is happy for her, but mentions she should probably never mention how she returned to them, since she wouldn't want them to think she's a bad person. This convinces her to turn on her new team of Exiles.
35	* PsychoRangers: After the Exiles escaped the Watchers ruling they assembled their own team of Exiles to bring them back comprised of various evil counterparts to the group and [[TokenGoodTeammate Kamala Khan]].
36	** Iron Lord for Iron Lad
37	** X-2/3 for Wolvie
38	** Shuri Killmonger for T'Challa
39	** Captain Axis Steve Rogers for Bucky and Peggy.
40	** And an undead skeleton Thor for Valkyrie.
41	* RogerRabbitEffect: The intent with Wolvie. Everyone in the cast is real, but Wolvie is from the cartoon X-Babies universe. Hard to tell with Rodriguez's art, but made very clear with [[http://www.comicosity.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Pages-from-EXILES2018006_LR_4.jpg Reis' depiction]].
42	* ToughLove: Lil Magneto gets a dose of this from Blink after trying to steal everyone's pie & eat them all.
43	* TwoferTokenMinority: Valkyrie, being a gay black woman.
44	* {{Valkyries}}: As her name suggests, Valkyrie fits this.
45	* UniversalAdaptorCast: After escaping from the Watchers, where the Tallus was shattered in the crossfire, the Exiles end up placed in various roles in a universe based on the many stories of Arabian Nights with TJ as Scheherazade in particular.
