saber-tooth attacks Beast hearing and the X-Men bring him back to the mansion to try to help him against Wolverine's best advice but you don't know him he can't stay here the X-Men stopped Magneto from launching missiles at Humanity while he and Xavier have a philosophical battle you still dream of peace with those who would destroy all mutants is this your answer this horror but Charles wins the battle by making his best friend relive the Holocaust meanwhile it turns out that the evil mutant saber-tooth was actually an evil mutant Magneto sent him to infiltrate the mansion and then he attacks Jubilee but is stopped barely by Wolverine and while all this is going on an anti- mutant Senator named Kelly announces that he is running for president and right out the gate he leads with internment camps I intend to relocate every mutant in this nation to interment can Scott and Jean go out on a date which aggravates Wolverine because he is in love with Jean but their date is interrupted when a bunch of sewer dwelling mutants named warlocks kidnpped Scott so their leader Kalisto can breed with him someone to provide me an air so take out an ad the show is for kids yep Storm shows up with the X-Men and challenges Kalisto to single combat for leadership at the morlocks she wins despite her claustrophobia and says that Kalisto can roll in her place but then Wolverine leaves the team he left because of me Wolverine goes to live with an Inuit tribe in Alaska I feel at peace 5 minutes later there's no peace for me Sabertooth attacks the village and Wolverine returns home meanwhile three of the X-Men go to a mutant resort called josha where they are attacked by Sentinels and enslaved with control collars Gambit storm and Jubilee fight against their capts and there are lots of fun cameos including a freedom fighter named the name's cable it turns out that josha is actually being built as a new stronghold to build more Sentinels which are being spewed out by a towering robot called Master Mold who is destroyed when he can't escape water I am still plugged in the X-Men returned to find the Mansion to destroyed and the professor missing and they suspect a Russian mutant named Colossus but it turns out that it was a magical villain named Juggernaut who is also the professor's half brother don't you know who I am I'm the Juggernaut Jean takes away juggernaut's memory temporarily and Colossus helps them to rebuild the Mansion after I fix your house Professor it turns out is at a genetic research facility on M Island and it's run by his old friend moir mtag who rins out space to a Dr Adler who is developing a way to cure mutants of their abilities This research is being funded by a mutant named Warren worington the third who for some reason hates that he can fly cable shows up to kill Adler Rogue flies to Scotland to cure her powers because she can never touch another person and like I said she's way hot for Gambit what's wrong sh you know what happens when I touch somebody you want to end up in the hospital long story short Adler is actually a shape shifter named Mystique who works for a villain called Apocalypse look upon the future and tremble apocalypse is obsessed with survival of the fittest and wants to remake the World In His Image now Rogue changes her mind but apocalypse trans forms warm into the Archangel apocalypse and His Four Horsemen attack Humanity but they are stopped by the X-Men during this fight we can also see the famous still of Rogues butt the internet for some reason is really obsessed with how about getting your butt out of my car Warren overcomes his brainwashing and saves the day now it's time for Days of the Future Past in the far future Sentinels are hunting down and Exterminating mutants an elderly Wolverine and a scientist named Forge sent a mutant back in time named Bishop to stop the assassination of Senator Kelly which they believed created this dystopian future Bishop tells the X-Men that Gambit was actually the Assassin so they all head to Washington to save the future but it turns out the Mystique was the one who tried to kill Kelly while pretending to be Gambit and she did this on apocalypse's orders the X-Men Fight mystique's group the Brotherhood of mutants and they narrowly saved Kelly's life but Rogue lets Mystique go after Mystique reveals that she actually is the person who raised Rogue when she was a kid Mama but more on that in a bit in the far future Bishop returns to find that the future is still shitty it's all just like I left it because in the present day Senator Kelly has been kidnapped by Magneto if Kelly isn't found an anti-mutant fever could sweep the nation destroying us all Magneto and Kelly are then kidnapped by Sentinels because it turns out that Master Mold did not die and has plans of his own I am giving the orders now and he makes sure to lay This Bitter irony down on his human Creator mutants are human therefore humans must be protected from themselves the X-Men save Kelly's life and then Kelly changes his mind on mutants Beast is pardon and Scott asked Jee to marry him but they're being watched sister knows what your future holds Wolverine is all pissed off that Jean is marrying Scott so he spends her entire wedding pretending to beat up Cyclops in the danger room and then he tries to tell her how he feels Jean I still I have to go it turns out that the priest that married Scott and Jean is actually morph who is totally evil now because he's being mind control by a super villain named Mr sinister sinister is a geneticist who is obsessed with the D of Scott and Jee and has watched them for their entire lives and from your Offspring I will control the future of all human creatures on Earth creepy Senator Kelly has become president and his PR mutant policies have inspired a group of bigots called the Friends of Humanity to frame mutants for terrorist acts to sway public opinion against them what did we ever do to you you were born morph poses as Magneto to get Xavier to fly off to Antarctica and he is all conflicted about the Mind Control Sinister attacks Scott and Jee on their honeymoon while morph reveals that he was the priest who married them and they're not really married and then Scott sways him back to the light whatever happened you're still part of the team you're still one of the X-Men Sinister runs away and Xavier and Magneto realize that they were each tricked into going to Antarctica now in this season we get to see a bit of everybody's backstory in Standalone episodes storm travels to Africa where her godson has been possessed by an evil mutant called The Shadow King she and Rogue trap him back in the astral Dimension where he came from meanwhile Xavier and Magneto discovered the stav land this is a prehistoric environment with dinosaurs and indigenous humans Magneto used to have a citadel here and they discover that the mutants who used to serve under him now serve a mysterious new master also now Charles can walk somehow that's weird no it's not weird it's a miracle in the former Soviet Union a mutant cold warrior named Omega Red overthrows the democratic government you cannot stop me I can you stinking octopus just like last time you see he and Wolverine have a history the X-Men team up with Colossus to stop his coup and Russia remains free and Democratic to this Wolverine is kidnapped by a team of Canadian super mutants called alphal flight now it turns out that after the government experimented on Wolverine alphaflight took him in and made him a team member but he walked away and now the government wants him back we saved you we gave you back your life how could you leave us so I could be your weapon Alpha flight frees their old friend and Wolverine goes back to his family the X-Men and then we travel to Louisiana where we learned that Gambit was raised to be a member of the Thieves Guild who have a centuries old blood Feud with the assassins guild where they V for the favor of immortal mutants called the externals and they earned this favor by saying the word tithe a lot long story short the assassins guild tried to frame the Thieves Guild the X-Men saved the day and the X-Men are Gambit's new family in the far future cable is fighting the forces of Apocalypse when a Time Vortex erases his world Tyler help me dad it turns out that Bishop messing with the past last season changed Cable's future and bishop's alternate future we now find out that a plague has devastated the world but this plague actually happens to save mutants because because in Cable's future much further than Bishops mutants need these antibodies that were produced from the early exposure to the plague so Bishop travels back in time to try to stop this plague and he finds out that the Friends of Humanity are actually trying to say that this technov virus was caused by mutants it turns out that the F's leader Victor Creed was actually secretly working for Apocalypse bishop and the X-Men show up but apocalypse wents and kills everybody and spreads the plague across the world in the next episode cable relives all the events that we just saw and kidnaps Wolverine so he can expose him to the virus Wolverine's mutant healing Factor creates the antibodies that mutants need to survive in the future and this preserves Cable's timeline yes science in the next episode we find out that after rogue's birth family rejected her because of her mutant Powers Mystique actually trained her to be one of a team

an astral battle Carol is contained but Rogue still visits her in the hospital also Mystique is working for Mr Sinister the next episode beating the Beast is one of the best of the entire series Beast has been working to heal a blind woman named Carly and they fall in love but her parents are massive bigots who want Hank to stay away from her why did this have to happen to me why can't I be normal meanwhile the Friends of Humanity kidnap Carly so Wolverine poses as one of them and helps Beast rescue her Wolverine taunts Victor Creed with the Hologram of his father the mutant Sabertooth I hate him I not like him when Carly gets her sight back she still loves Hank but he says that he can't be with her because it would only place her in danger carry my love with you always that's so sad yes

his girlfriend another xx- man named Polaris but it turns out Polaris just ghosted Bobby and left him to join a government super team called xfactor where she fell in love with a mutant named Havoc also havoc and cyclops's mutant Powers don't seem to affect each other I don't understand G very interesting and then we go back to the Savage land where kesar's people have overthrown Sauron and it turns out Sauron is actually a regular guy named Carl lyos but then Carl is manipulated by an ancient evil God called gck into becoming Sauron again also gck could draw the X-Men back to the Savage

the final shot reveals that some parts of their love story was true jubilees is all excited about her first Christmas with the real family while the X-Men honor time Ed Christmas traditions like trimming the tree and having fights in the kitchen the day that I need your help in the kitchen is the day that I stop cooking but while they're out shopping they discover that the Morlock child leech is dying Wolverine gives him a blood transfusion and Jubilee is shocked to see how the morlocks celebrate Christmas eating out of pain cans by A Charlie Brown Christmas tree but storm tells her as long as you are part of a caring family every day of the year is Christmas so then Jubilee gives all her presents to the Morlock kids and they all spend Christmas together that's so nice yes it is and then storm transfers leadership of the morlocks back to Kalisto next is an epic for parter that was originally meant to end the entire series before they were picked up for season 5 in the distant future cable tries to destroy apocalypse's Resurrection chamber but apocalypse steals his time travel device so this interferes with Bishop traveling to his present and then he is trapped at a place outside of the time stream called the axis of time Scott and Jean's second wedding is interrupted by Mr Sinister and the nasty boys who kidnpped Jean Bishop sister sh time travels back to the x- Manion and we find out that Sinister and every other villain the X-Men have ever face are all working for apocalypse apocalypse kidnaps psychics from across the time stream including the shiar Oracle with the help of land landra sister death bird Warren Worthington catches a psychic named psylock trying to rob him Wolverine shows up and then they all fight saber-tooth mystique and Magneto who are

perfect future for mutants where his wife Magda is still alive the X-Men captures saber-tooth and Wolverine tortures him for information and I should note here that Archangel has now gotten over his need for revenge against Apocalypse in the future cable steals a giant time machine called grey malcol and he and the X-Men use it to travel back to apocalypse's first resurrection chamber in ancient Egypt where apocalypse brings a trap kidnapping Professor Xavier and bringing along Wolverine to Bear witness then apocalypse Reveals His True plan to erase all of existence and start again Magneto

universe start to get erased so Bishop starts blasting the psychics free reversing the Erasure of time and space apocalypses Fortress is destroyed the villains escape and all the psychics team up to erase apocalypse from existence and then it's revealed that it was actually a mortise AKA K who built the axis of time to begin with while Magneto and Xavier teased that they might be open to working together in the future did it feel so odd Magnus working together no Charles perhaps if we could start the world over it would be possible again just kiss already and fun fact the original ending of this episode would have seen storm Cyclops Gene and the professor leaving the team while adding Bishop Shard Archangel and psylock but then Fox ordered more episodes so let's move on to season 5 the one with bad animation and hey here's a bonus the X-Men actually crossed over with two episodes of Spider-Man the Animated Series another excellent Saturday morning Marvel show Spider-Man's blood has been mutated so he seeks out Xavier's help when he's captured by the X-Men after a brief misunderstanding in a fight but I don't want to be a freak watch your mouth pal Peter Parker attends a seminar from a man who says that he can cure mutants and his research actually came from the Beast research the research you started to prevent yourself from turning into a hairy animal Spider-Man and Wolverine rescue beast and then team up to stop a renegade mutation and at the end of the day Spider-Man isn't cured but he has friends you got friends if you need them season 5 starts with the X-Men fighting off an alien invasion from the fail lanks a technologically advanced Empire that assimilates other worlds the prince of the failinks Warlock didn't like his people's warmongering ways so he and his betro fled to Earth but his Queen was captured by Cameron hodj this guy from the government and when their minds meshed they started to assimilate the entire world all life on this world will attain the Perfection of the fail most of the team is quickly assimilated so Beast has to team up with Forge from xfactor Warlock and Mr Sinister and then they recruit a super depressed Magneto who has really let himself go losing asteroid am has made me weary of this life Dr McCoy weary of this endless struggle Magneto only agrees to help to save his son Quicksilver they free the X-Men and xfactor and introduce a computer virus to the failinks and warlock travels back to his home world to change his people's War mongering ways also it seems like Magneto is getting along with the sun next are the worst two episodes in this entire show so I will be brief a guy named archon From Another Dimension kidnaps storm to save his home World storm does this then for some reason falls in love with him and accepts his marriage proposal storm will you rule by my side as empress yes yes I will the other X-Men figure out very quickly that this guy is a tyrant who enslaves people but storm is blinded by her love for the man she met 5 minutes ago archon is a kind and decent man eventually though she works it out they are not servants are they they are slaves before going home she destroys the bad guy's magic antenna but leaves him in power saying no living being has the right to enslave another next we go to Central America where Fabian Cortez is trying to find a host body for apocalypse's disembodied spirit because now apocalypse is kind of like Voldemort he kidnaps Jubilee to make her the new host body and then mutates Beast to make him into a monster one of the new Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse caliban knows Jubilee from josha so he betrays apocalypse helps free Jubilee and ultimately apocalypse returns by using Fabian as a host body in the next episode Jubilee tells a bunch of kids fairy tales using the X-Men as inspiration it's a really fun episode pulled straight from the comics but not really Canon so we can skip over the details fun episode though we flash back to Logan's time was a spy in World War II when he sent on a mission to recover a scientist from the Germans and he teams up with Captain America here son I believe this is yours the two of them face off against the Red Skull and discover that the scientist has actually defected to the Nazis years later when Logan's at the scientist grave his daughter shows up and tells him that her dad was actually feigning defection to sabotage the Nazis and then Logan carves the word hero into the man's tombstone in Kentucky a young mutant Named Sam Guthrie uses his powers to save Miners and afterwards a military man named gerland shows up to recruit him into some kind of Black Ops agency Sam says no and then he gets a visit from Rogue who actually sounds a lot like she's grooming him no 16-year-old boy could mind a visit from a good old southern gal and it turns out gerin is actually forming a black ops military unit that brainwashes mutants Sam escapes as brainwashing and the X-Men expose his schemes and we learned that Cameron hodj who was no longer part of alien Machinery was behind the project all along what the second to last episode of the series is a fullon flashback to Victorian London showing the origin of Mr Sinister Xavier's ancestor inspector James Xavier befriends a scientist named Nathaniel Essex Essex is obsessed with Darwin's theory of evolution and Humanity's next Leap Forward so he uses human test subjects to create people with powers we shall become more than men we shall be Gods Asic experiments on himself and Embraces his new name from this day forward you shall address me as Mr Sinister his mutations are freed and then run rampant into the sewers of London and in the present day Xavier still has Mr Sinister signed copy of Darwin's Origin of the species and now the final episode graduation day Xavier is addressing the UN when Henry Peter grick Who's Back attacks him with a device that amplifies his powers to basically out him as a mutant could Charles Xavier be a stinking mutant himself the public attack spreads outrage across the planet sparking mutant uprisings experts say the mutant Rebellion will quickly dissipate unless it finds a leader the X-Men cannot help the dying professor and they know that the alien shiar could treat him but without Xavier's telepathic abilities they have no way to contract Alandra now Magneto who has taken over the island of josha sees his opportunity we are the living future of this Mighty Planet this world is our world now morph poses as Xavier to try to calm everybody down and the other X-Men travel to josia to beg Magneto to not start a mutant Uprising but they work out that his magnetic powers can actually amplify Xavier's brain waves and summon theer from space in other words Magneto could give up his dream to save his best friend's life but I have waited all all my life for this moment wouldn't he do it for you it works and Xavier regains Consciousness just long enough to say some heartfelt paring words to each of his students Rogue unable to touch yet you will find you have touched us all that no true son could ever be I am proud and his last words are
