You could do a crossover with the Inhumans. The X Men and Inhumans have some similarities in terms of having special abilities. In the fanfiction, there could be a misunderstanding at first between the two groups. For example, Beast could be fascinated by the Inhuman biology while some of the more hot - headed X Men like Gambit might be a bit more aggressive in their initial interactions. Then they would have to work together to face a threat like an alien invasion.
One idea could be creating an OC with a unique mutation that has never been seen before in the X - Men universe. For example, the ability to manipulate time on a small scale, like slowing down or speeding up time in a limited area. This OC could be a new student at the Xavier Institute and face challenges in controlling their power while also trying to fit in with the other mutants.
Another idea is a crossover with the Star Trek universe. The X - Men could find themselves on a Starfleet ship. They might have to deal with the differences in cultures and technologies while also trying to stop Apocalypse from spreading his chaos across the galaxy.
A genetic experiment gone wrong could also be a great plot for the crossover. A mad scientist tries to combine mutant and super - soldier DNA. This creates a new breed of dangerous creatures. The X - Men, with their knowledge of mutants, and the Avengers, with their combat skills and high - tech resources, must work together to contain the threat. Jean Grey's telepathic powers could be crucial in finding the source of the experiment, while Iron Man uses his technology to develop a way to reverse the genetic changes.
There could be crossovers with other superhero universes. For example, a crossover with the Avengers might have the X - Men teaming up with Iron Man and Captain America to fight a common enemy. It could also feature different versions of the X - Men characters, like a darker take on Wolverine.
Well, perhaps there could be a situation where the Ministry of Magic tries to regulate mutant powers as they do with magic. Some mutants might resist this and seek refuge at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. In the crossover, Professor McGonagall and Professor X could have an interesting exchange of teaching methods. McGonagall's strict yet nurturing style compared to Professor X's more accepting and guiding style. Also, imagine a character like Rogue being at Hogwarts. She could accidentally absorb the powers of a wizard, creating all sorts of chaos and a new mystery to solve.
A cool plot could be that a new, extremely powerful mutant emerges who has the ability to control all forms of energy. This mutant's powers are so great that they start to disrupt the fabric of reality. The Avengers and the X - Men both realize that this mutant needs to be controlled or taught to manage their powers. However, different factions within both groups have different ideas on how to approach the situation. Some want to be more forceful, while others believe in a more diplomatic approach. This leads to internal conflicts within the combined group as they also battle external threats caused by the mutant's out - of - control powers.
One idea could be that Superman is somehow transported to the X - Men's universe. He teams up with the X - Men to fight a common enemy like a powerful mutant who has the ability to nullify Superman's powers on a large scale. They have to figure out how to combine their skills and powers to overcome this threat.
One idea could be that the kryptonite in Smallville starts to affect the mutants in strange ways. Maybe it suppresses or enhances their powers in unexpected manners. For example, Wolverine's healing factor could be slowed down by kryptonite exposure, leading to a real threat when he gets injured. Another plot could involve Lex Luthor getting his hands on some mutant DNA and trying to create his own super - soldiers, which would draw the attention of the X - Men. They could team up with Clark Kent to stop Luthor's evil plans.
One plot idea could be that the One Ring somehow finds its way into the X - Men universe. Maybe Magneto senses its power and wants to use it for his own purposes, believing it could give him ultimate control over mutants and humans alike. The X - Men, on the other hand, realize the danger of the Ring and try to stop Magneto from getting his hands on it. Another idea is that some of the LOTR characters are reincarnated as mutants. For example, Aragorn could be a mutant with enhanced leadership abilities and physical prowess, and he teams up with the X - Men to fight a common enemy that threatens both Middle - earth and the mutant world.
One idea could be that the X - Men and Spiderman team up to fight a common enemy like Magneto who has joined forces with some of Spiderman's foes, such as Doctor Octopus. They'd have to combine their powers and skills to take on this powerful alliance.
