Future Charles gets captured by sentinels while the modern day team... doesn't really do much. But Bishop and a bunch of character cameos are there and put some heavy stakes on the success of Wolverine and his team to prevent the late 2020's from being a pretty awful place.

Cyclops is Waiting for Me is our now bi-weekly podcast series where we are going back and watching EVERY-SINGLE-X-MEN-ANIMATED-EPISODE we can find. This podcast started with the original 1992 X-Men: The Animated Series building up to the release of X-Men ‘97. Along the way we’ve completed X-Men: Evolution and launched our companion interview show The Xavier Files!

Since season 2 of X-Men ‘97 isn’t announced yet for 2025, we are dedicating this year to all of Wolverine & The X-Men.

Some people aren't good parents. Like Magneto. But some kids are the problem. Like Quicksilver. We get X-Men and Brotherhood on this globehopping episode along with the introductions of Nitro (the guy who causes the first heroic Civil War in the comics) and Psylocke! And we finally get our future buddy Charles back.

Despite what IMDb told us that last week's bonus episode for the Hulk vs. Wolverine movie being inspired by Incredible Hulk Issue 181, this episode actually more closely follows Wolverine's debut issue. While it definitely takes some creative license, this encounter between Logan, Banner and the Wendigo hits that classic vibe for us (and has a more satisfying ending than the straight to home video movie did).

So this is a fun one because it is semi-canon to Wolverine & The X-Men but it isn't available "anywhere". Maybe some light Googling will help you find this mini movie where this animated version of Logan encounters The Hulk for the first time with some members of a Department H run team of mercs. Friend of the Pod Pablo joins us to help fill in some gaps in the comic lore in a not-safe for Nickelodeon animated romp. Pablo on Deeper Issues:

We've been wondering where Kurt has been since his quick scene in the pilot episode. We get the answer along with a surprise appearance from the Pirates of Dark Wa- we mean everyone's favorite trans-dimensional TV executive's crack team of recruiters.

So our "mission of the week" framing theory goes out the window as no Professor X drops in from the future. Instead, our favorite swamp rat Gambit breaks into the mansion to steal a power inhibitor (which proves to be a massive issue for every version of Forge ever).

Future Professor X's Mission of the Week kicks off with Logan and crew sent to save the ENTIRE continent of Africa because Storm is going to do "something" and it's going to be a big something. Listen up as the boys talk about this Storm focused episode and how it compares to the way her history has been shown in other X-Men cartoons.
