- Complete Monster: Minor villain Johnston Coffin, warden of a Hellhole Prison for teenagers who have only committed what amount to thought crimes. If that wasn't bad enough, there are his "Special Children," kids from his first Hellhole Prison from the '70s, whom he's wired up to cyborg bodies and kept around for thirty years until their bodies have literally begun to rot. And they're still alive.
- Adrienne Frost is also quite vile, and actually drove Emma to murder her due to her actions resulted in the death of her student
- Romantic Plot Tumor: Chamber and Husk's on-and-off-but-was-never-really-on-to-begin-with relationship. Chamber's Wangst and the Token Minority Couple feel of it (they were the only white students) certainly didn't help either. Even worse was when the series ended and the arguing carried into Uncanny X-Men at the most inappropriate moments, such as the team's fight against Alpha Flight.
- Seasonal Rot: The Larry Hama run on the book (which aimed for surreal but ended up with a series of BLAM Episodes), as well as the writer who came after.
- Not quite. Hama's succesor Jay Faerber was actually rather well received in comparison.
- Wangst: While generally justified, Chamber approached this at times.
