I was about to post an idea that incorporates this. What If Professor X had not been crippled fighting Lucifer? Charles would not have gone into seclusion until other mutants started appearing. Mye would have continued his fight against Lucifer, and at some point he might need help. He, rather than Loki, could have brought the Earth's mightiest heroes to fight a threat that he could not handle alone. So he does not form the X-Men and instead becomes a founding member of the Avengers. What happens to the O5 and Magneto obviously become key parts of the story!

One idea I had was if Xavier decided to go a bit more militant then school and the starting lineup would be Wolverine (Cyclops), Storm (Jean), Forge (Beast), Banshee (Angel), and Colossus (Iceman)
He would probably still get crippled maybe by a villain like Thanos or Red Skull, or maybe by accident like Hulk's rage or Pym/Ant/Giant Man's mental breakdown
What if Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver weren't the long-lost children of Magneto or the experiments of the High Evolutionary, but instead the undead son and cursed daughter of Margali Szardos?

What if Mr. Fantastic Conquered Latveria?
What if .... the events of Avengers: Infinity War played out in the comic Marvel U? By this I mean Thanos wins and half the universe is gone for 5 years. A good 8 or 12 issue mini series telling a story of what the MCU would be like for those 5 years. If it sold well they could even do another mini showing the aftermath of everyone returning.
What if Captain America had been Russian? (Erskine had fled East instead of West)
