Extreme adversities, heightened emotions, and a sense of betrayal often cloud the judgment of the best minds, and as seen in X-Men ’97, mutants are going through all these stages at once after facing Bastion’s crisis and especially after the surprising return of Charles Xavier. As a result, as the fantastic first season reaches its final lap, the team, which should have united against the overarching threat of Sentinel-born Bastion, finds itself more divided than ever.
Previously, Bastion’s past as a progeny of Nimrod and humans is revealed as Scott, Jean, and Cable go to his childhood home. There, they get a nasty surprise as his mother, along with a huge number of people, turn out to be augmented prime Sentinels created by Bastion and Sinister, hiding in the mass as sleeper cells. Un agent Valerie Cooper and a number of prominent supervillains are revealed to be in...

In the Marvel Universe, mutants are the inevitable future ordained by evolution and the ultimate truth of humanity. While the majority of humans have accepted the much-discriminated, ostracized mutants being motivated by a feeling of either fraternity, gratefulness (X-Men), pity, or apathy, a bunch of bigoted and xenophobic ones are hell bent on obliterating the race from existence. Prejudiced against mutants to the core, people like Gyrich and Trask see mutants as the extinction of humanity; therefore, from a misplaced notion of preserving humankind, they conspire to thwart mutants at every turn. But even these hatemongers seem to be no match for the recent threat mutantkind is facing in the form of Bastion, whose heinous plans against mutants appear to be multifaceted and running way deeper than previously imagined.
Previously, as the X-Men approached a remorseful, suicidal Bolliver Trask, it was revealed that Bastion was the true mastermind behind the...

X-Men '97's three-part "Tolerance Is Extinction" finale kicked off today and it saw the team set out to stop Bastion's plan to destroy mutantkind.
Cable explains that, in his timeline, Bastion has created a world where the few remaining mutants are subservient to his technologically advanced humans (who have all been infected by a new strain of the techno-organic virus that led to Nathan being sent into the future as a baby).
With Rogue still comatose, the X-Men see if they can learn more about Bastion; it turns out that, after his father was infected by future technology, Bastion was conceived and mutated into a being comprised of Nimrod, the Sentinel Master Mold, and a human.
The villain has turned countless humans into Prime Sentinels and, back at his base,...

With fans excited to find out where the series is heading as it closes its critically acclaimed first season, former showrunner Beau DeMayo drops some hints in a post on X:
DeMayo recommended watching episodes from the classic Animated Series that feature characters and storylines that can inspire or even affect the events of Tolerance is Extinction finale arc:
One Man’s Worth
The Master Mold sends an advanced sentinel called Nimrod to travel back in time and kill a young Charles Xavier before he can form the X-Men. While the robot appears to succeed initially, a group of time-travelling mutants intervenes to preserve the future.

Like its predecessor X-Men: The Animated Series, X-Men ’97 remixes classic stories from X-Men comics to make them more palatable for television. But X-Men ’97 is also very much a continuation of Tas, returning to stories and themes that first aired almost three decades ago.
So it’s no surprise that season one showrunner Beau De Mayo has suggested that fans go back to a few classic Tas episodes ahead of the three-part X-Men ’97 finale, titled “Tolerance Is Extinction.” De Mayo points to the following story arcs specifically: “One Man’s Worth Parts 1 and 2,” “Sanctuary Parts 1 and 2,” “Descent,” and “The Final Decision.”
Beau DeMayo says the following episodes of the original X-Men animated series are worth rewatching to prepare for the 3-part finale 'Tolerance Is Extinction'. #XMen97

The end of the fifth episode of "X-Men '97" gave fans quite the shock. Not only did the peaceful haven of Genosha suddenly find itself under attack by a massive Tri-Sentinel Master Mold that massacred unknown numbers of mutants, but the beloved X-Men team member Gambit met his demise in a final act of heroism that stopped the tragedy from getting even worse. A week later, the end of the sixth episode revealed that it was recurring X-Men villain Mister Sinister who was behind the attack, having manipulated Bolivar Trask into activating the Sentinel strike. But as we learned in this week's seventh episode, "Bright Eyes," Sinister is just one part of the equation.
Throughout episode 7 of "X-Men '97," Rogue is trying to figure out who was responsible for the destruction on Genosha and the death of Gambit. She's out for vengeance, and in her pursuit, she encounters Captain America,...

Like the original X-Men: The Animated Series before it, X-Men ’97 has been a masterclass in adapting (and updating) classic comic book storylines in ways that make them feel fresh and surprising. The latest episode, “Bright Eyes,” continues this tradition.
“Bright Eyes” deals with the fallout of the destruction of Genosha, with both a beautiful eulogy that Nightcrawler delivers at Gambit’s funeral but also Rogue going, well, rogue to punish those behind Remy’s death. But the biggest reveals involve not just confirmation of Cable’s relationship to Cyclops and Madelyne Pryor, but also that Magneto is still alive and being held hostage by a new villain, one with major ramifications for the rest of this animated universe…
Bastion (Theo James)
X-Men ’97 initially teased Mister Sinister as the big bad of this season. Yet, a new threat has emerged from the shadows in the latest episode,...

The new animated Marvel series X-Men 97′ is the long-awaited follow-up to the popular 1990’s X-Men: The Animated Series which initially aired from 1992 – 1997 and became the first show in the Marvel Animated Universe. While many were skeptical leading up to the premier, the show has so far given viewers plenty of fan service.
One interesting homage was revealed for the series’ fourth episode titled “Motendo; Lifedeath, Pt. 1“. The scene depicts Jubilee and series newcomer Roberto De Costa aka Sunspot. The two are seen teleported into a video game titled “X-Men: The Rise of Jubilee” on a giant monitor in front of a large audience.
The two are loaded into a stage that resembles the Days of Future Past storyline, and Jubilee then takes action to battle some sentinels. The screen then bans back to show a classic arcade beat ’em up sprite style of the action with the crowd cheering.
