The stakes are high (as always) as the X-Men face a true alien foe.

Warning: Spoilers
*Potential Spoilers* In this second part, the X-Men struggle to defeat a true alien creature. The first part does a good job setting up the plot (and giving a good tease into what will become the culture of the Shi'Ar) while the second part kicks into high gear. Wolverine in spite of what led them to this confrontation, keeps his cool even in spite of seemingly losing Jubilee. This episode leans more into the Sci-Fi/Horror category than the traditional kids' action adventure. The souls of the creature's victims, crying and moaning for help really adds a sense of seriousness and uneasiness to what is usually a fun cartoon show. Personally, I love it as it gives the show some more weight. Wolverine's intensity as he shouts "You're dead!" is among my favorite lines of his in the entire show, since he normally wouldn't be allowed to say such a thing on a kids' show. Even though the episode ends as one would expect, its still a standout episode.
