1* {{Adorkable}}: Science Pete acts like a child wowed by everything science-y he finds. Seeing Ben and Reed Storm at work makes him geek out and want to meet them. When cornered by them due to a massive misunderstanding, he breaks down into sobs and needs to be comforted until The Knight asserts himself.
2* AntiClimaxBoss: For all the build-up and mystery of [[BigBad Devondra]], [[spoiler:it gets defeated pretty easily by Hulk. Who, to be fair, was using the Space Stone. But still, it's pretty embarrassing...]]
3* AssPull: [[spoiler:Gamora's FaceHeelTurn as Requiem.]] Not only was there barely any build-up or {{Foreshadowing}}, but the comic doesn't even explain why.
4* SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments: Ghost Panther defeating the Martians by bonding Zarathos with ''Mars''. Cue one very angry planet looking for some payback.
5* BizarroEpisode: The Infinity Warps tie-ins, which have nothing to do with the main story, instead focusing on the warped versions of each characters. And are generally held to be the best parts of the whole crossover.
6* EnsembleDarkhorse: Of all the Warps, Speed Weasel - supporting character of Weapon Hex - takes the cake, combining Honey Badger’s Adorkability and AttentionDeficitOohShiny tendencies with Quicksilver’s speed and accompanying impatience to create something akin to DC Comics' own Ensemble Darkhorse Bart Allen.
7* HilariousInHindsight: ComicBook/SpiderMan tauntingly called Thor, [[spoiler:{{brainwashed|AndCrazy}} by the [[VideoGame/MegaManX Sigma]] [[UnwillingRoboticisation Virus]]]], as ComicBook/IronMan in ''Videogame/MarvelVsCapcomInfinite''. A year later, this series {{fus|ionDance}}ed Thor and Iron Man into the Iron Hammer.
8* IKnewIt: Some readers guessed the connection between the bad-tempered, sword-wielding villain Requiem and the increasingly bad-tempered, sword-wielding [[spoiler:Gamora.]]
9* LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt:
10** The event begins with Requiem killing Thanos, but no-one's terribly convinced he's going to stay dead this time (especially not with ''Avengers: Endgame'' coming up). [[spoiler:Naturally, the first issue of the relaunched ''Guardians of the Galaxy'' that follows this event deals with how he's cheated his way back to living.]]
11** [[spoiler:Gamora "killing" Peter Quill in the first issue. Sure enough, it's undone in the very next issue.]]
12* MemeticMutation: Why is Gamora? [[labelnote:Explanation]] Requiem is Gamora. Fans knew that she wanted to get that piece of her soul back, but her reason or lack thereof for getting all the Infinity Stones, wiping out half the universe as if she was Thanos, and being all around AxCrazy has left readers scratching their heads.[[/labelnote]]
13* OlderThanTheyThink: Aside from the obvious association with Amalgam Comics, this isn't the first time Marvel's done a story featuring combinations of its preexisting characters. An arc in ''X-Men'' featured Cerebro creating artificial X-Men that were combinations different heroic and villainous mutants.
14* SignatureScene: The most famous scene to come out of this series is ComicBook/MoonKnight spacing out and asking ComicBook/SpiderMan what's going on.
15* SoOkayItsAverage: The main series. It's not considered to be bad, but doesn't really bring anything new or special to the table either.
16* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: A lot of readers complained how the event seemed nothing more than a blatant attempt to cash in the popular movie ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' that was released the same year, by recycling the concept of the Infinity Gems.
17* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: No one considered bringing back Cerebro's X-Men, combinations of different X-Men, as part of the Warps' world.
18* UnexpectedCharacter:
19** The event's B-plot is headed by ComicBook/{{Sleepwalker}}. Fittingly, it serves as an immediate sequel to ComicBook/InfinityCountdown's Darkhawk mini series in which this trope was also in effect.
20** In Secret Warps, some Fusions are between well known characters and obscure characters. Like Captain Marvel with Justice Peace.
