1* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: On the ''Mostly Nitpicking'' podcast [[https://mostlynitpicking.libsyn.com/the-new-mutants?tdest_id=1429841 episode on]] [[Film/TheNewMutants the 2020 film adaptation]], both the comic and film versions of Scottish Presbyterian mutant Rahne Sinclair are referred to by the hosts as an [[{{Scotireland}} Irish]] [[ChristianityIsCatholic Catholic]].
2* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[https://www.xplainthexmen.com/2018/03/188-live-from-eccc-2018/ In a 2018 convention panel]], artist Bret Blevins noted that he and writer Louise Simonson planned a subplot in which it would be revealed that the source of Boom-Boom's brash behavior was insecurity over the fact that she was illiterate, after which her teammates would teach her how to read. This never happened due to the switch-over to Comicbook/XForce.
3** Gosamyr was going to officially join the team following her HeelFaceTurn but due to her unpopularity with fans, she was PutOnABus in issue 74.
4** Wolfsbane was originally conceived as a devout Muslim girl with the codename "Shikari"[[note]]Meaning "hunter" or "predator" in Persian.[[/note]], but because the team already had two dark haired female characters (Karma and Mirage) she was changed to a devout Presbyterian Scottish girl with her trademark deep red hair. The X-Men would not get a Muslim member until 2001's ''ComicBook/NewXMen'' when Dust was introduced.[[note]]Technically, ''ComicBook/GenerationX'''s M was the first, having been introduced seven years prior to Dust but she wouldn't be established as a Muslim until 2011.[[/note]]
5** Likewise Cannonball originally was conceived the power to project a beam of energy from his hands and during that design phase briefly had the, very unfortunate, codename "Holocaust"
