10 Most Inappropriate X-Men Storylines

3. Beak And Tempest's Egg Babies - New X-Men #141

In the midst of all the other various odd plots occurring during the New X-Men Murder at The Mansion storyline, we get perhaps the biggest and most unusual plot twist of all, in the form of some weird fleshy eggs.

It's unabashedly gross, so much so that it almost endears you to the whole situation, especially as the storyline essentially covers the story of a young teenage pregnancy, albeit a young teenage pregnancy between a couple where one looks like a bird and one that can spit acid, which does sort of change things.

While it has a pleasant resolution when the babies are finally released from the egg sacs, the initial discovery of them is something straight out of the pages of a horror novel, with a terrifying shot to the mysterious (and not especially picturesque) eggs clustered on the roof of the building where they were being kept.
