For the penultimate episode of the series (and our pod for this year), Magneto presses the attack and the Inner Circle keeps trying to unlock the Phoenix. And Emma is just trying to keep it all together without letting the world fall apart.

Cyclops is Waiting for Me is our 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 coming out until summer 2026, we are dedicating this year to all of Wolverine & The X-Men.

With only 3 episodes left, JC and Rod leap into the 3 part season / series finale of Wolverine & The X-Men. Almost every major character and plot point begins tying into each other as the Inner Circle reveals their plans for Jean Grey and Magneto attempts to start a war.

How did we not realize that Jean Grey just woke up from her record setting fainting spell? And it isn't going well for her. She can't remember her own name. Archangel is after her. And Emma...

Rounding the curve as we get ever closer to the finale, Gambit gets called stupid as he takes a paycheck to go after Magneto and Genosha (despite it being kind of abandoned) and nearly kicks off mutually assured destruction.

Possibly the least SEO friendly of Wolverine and The X-Men, we follow future Xavier after he learns about Jean's involvement in the event that brought the world to its knees. With a somehow still active Sentinel named Rover at their side, Xavier, Bishop, Hellion and Marrow head to Master Mold's servers to find out how much time Wolverine has left.

We prayed that we would find out what caused the big explosion in episode 1 before the inevitable series ending cliffhanger and at least we got the payoff here! Rod's first recording from his new place brings some huge moments in the ramp up to the season finale kicking off here. Also, the Juggernaut is in the episode too.

A new take on a classic X-Men sorta-origin story. Instead of Apocalypse, a new sinister benefactor offers his services to an injured Angel after a fight with his father turns into an actual battle with the MRD and his wings are broken and battered.

The MRD have begun raiding locations and capturing mutants where they live and with Magneto turning his back on Quicksilver, the X-Men find themselves allied with the Brotherhood as they take on Trask's Sentinel plant.
