Synopsis

The X-Men's dream is put to the test as mutant-human relations reach a tipping point.

Notes

  • Forge's board consists of 24 mutants.
    • Row 1: Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm, Beast, Magneto, Nightcrawler, Jubilee, and Sunspot.
    • Row 2: Xavier, Scarlet Witch, Colossus, Morph, Rogue, Dust, Archangel, and Magik
    • Row 3: Wolverine, Iceman, Havok, Cable, Exodus, Quicksilver, Shadowcat, and Emma Frost.
      • Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm, Beast, Magneto, Nightcrawler, Xavier, Morph, Rogue, Archangel and Wolverine are all listed as MISSING PRESUMED DEAD in red text.
      • Jubilee, Sunspot, and Cable are listed as AWOL in red text.
      • Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are listed as OFF WORLD in black text.
    • The board references the cover of X-Men #141, marking the second time it has been referenced this season.
    • This is the second appearance of Shadowcat on Earth-92131 and her first appearance where she's properly distinguishable.
      • Shadowcat's costume is based on her Excalibur costume.
    • Colossus is in his Bronze Age costume. Further indicating he might've joined the X-Men in the year long gap between "Graduation Day" and "To Me, My X-Men".
    • Magik is seen in her New Mutants uniform, confirming she has since grown up and taken on the name Magik.
    • This is the first time Archangel has been mentioned since the attack on Genosha, indicating that he could've been one of the many casualties.

Trivia

  • Similar to Hulk's cameo in the prior episode, Iron Man and Mister Fantastic's designs are taken from the Marvel Action Hour, which was previously suggested in guidebooks to be on a separate Earth from Earth-92131. However, Iron Man: The Animated Series and Fantastic Four are still considered a different reality and do not work within the continuity of Earth-92131, as this episode adds another discrepancy to the list: it shows T'Chaka being the king of Wakanda and the Black Panther in the 90s, contradicting the Fantastic Four animated series, where he was killed a decade before the events of the cartoon.
    • Showrunner Beau DeMayo directly stated on Twitter that he personally considered both universes as a shared continuity when working on '97, though he couldn't speak to what Marvel considered canon. Additionally, he implied that the Black Panther being T'Chaka instead of T'Challa wasn't a choice he made, which suggests it may have been a mandate rather than a creative decision.
