List of X-Men: The Animated Series episodes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Bloodlines (X-Men))

The animated series X-Men (or X-Men: The Animated Series) debuted on October 31, 1992, on the Fox Network as part of the "Fox Kids" Saturday morning lineup. The plot was loosely adapted from famous storylines and events in the X-Men comics, such as the Dark Phoenix Saga, Days of Future Past, the Phalanx Covenant, and the Legacy Virus. The show features a team line-up similar to that of the early 1990s X-Men comic books: the lineup largely resembles that of Cyclops' Blue Team, established in the early issues of the second X-Men comic series. Cyclops, Wolverine, Rogue, Storm, Beast, Gambit, Jubilee, Jean Grey and Professor X were featured as the X-Men. All 76 episodes were directed by Larry Houston.

Synopsis

[edit source]

The series' first thirteen episodes were notable for being possibly the first time that an American animated series had a full season of episodes flow one into the next as a single continuing narrative, something the series producers fought heavily for. However, starting with season three, most episodes (except for multi-part stories) were shown in random order.

Each episode was assigned two different numbers internally. One was for script order, which indicates the number assigned by the production company. The other was for the production order, which are the official episode numbers assigned by Fox Children's Network, indicating the order in which they received the episodes. These both vary from the order in which the series aired after season three. According to series writer Steven Melching, the script order is the "best guide in terms of overall series continuity, as this is how the stories were originally envisioned to flow together."[1]

The X-Men also appeared on Spider-Man: The Animated Series in episodes "The Mutant Agenda" and "Mutants' Revenge". Storm later appeared in the three-part episode "Secret Wars" on the good side against the evil side. The series ended after the episode "Graduation Day", which aired on September 20, 1997. The X-Men animated show was the longest-running Marvel Comics animated series, lasting for five years, with five seasons and a total of 76 episodes until their record was beaten by Ultimate Spider-Man, when its 77th episode aired on October 17, 2015.[2]

The following list reflects the episode order as originally scripted. The television air-date order and DVD release order disregard the script order.[3][4] This scripted order was adopted by Disney+ shortly after launch to present the episodes as intended.[5]

During the fight, Morph is seemingly killed and Beast is captured and imprisoned by the government. Through Professor X's telepathy, the X-Men locate the hidden factory where the Sentinels are being built (and where Jubilee was being held) and burn it to the ground, but the humans responsible for the Sentinels manage to escape.

Police intervene and shoot him; Cyclops aids Sabretooth and brings him to the X-Mansion's infirmary, which does not sit well with Wolverine when he learns that, against his wishes, Xavier wants to rehabilitate Sabretooth.

The X-Men initially struggle to deal with Juggernaut's resilience until Colossus helps them remove his psychic-resistant helmet; this allows Jean to place a hypnotic suggestion in his mind compelling him to forget the X-Men and leave the city peacefully. Colossus helps with repairs to the X-Mansion but decides against joining the X-Men as he is interested only in finding his missing sister.
99"The Cure"Larry HoustonMark Edward EdensFebruary 20, 1993 (1993-02-20)

Professor X calls a meeting where he informs the X-Men of Adler's cure. The team is divided, and Rogue's desperation for the chance to be "normal" leads her to volunteer herself as Adler's first patient, despite Gambit's attempts to dissuade her. It is later revealed that the real Dr. Adler had already been killed by Apocalypse. Since then, his ally Mystique has been impersonating him with the goal of finding suitable mutants to enslave for Apocalypse's cause.

Rescuing Magneto, the X-Men track the Sentinels to their base. Master Mold goes rogue and declares that there are no true distinctions between humans and mutants; thus, the Sentinels must rule over both. He orders Kelly's brain to be replaced with a computer as the first step, but the X-Men intervene with Magneto's aid and destroy Master Mold, inadvertently preventing the Sentinel-ruled future of Bishop's time from existing. Kelly is elected President and renounces his former anti-mutant views, instead promoting efforts to help them. His first act is to grant Beast a full pardon and his freedom from prison.

With the help of Colossus and Darkstar (a former Soviet agent who decides to turn against the generals), Storm whips up a blizzard to freeze Omega Red solid.

Part I: In the year 3999, Cable learns that his world (and family) will be erased as a consequence of Bishop traveling back in time to prevent Apocalypse from releasing a genetically engineered plague that mutants will be blamed for spreading by the Friends of Humanity, resulting in Bishop's previously averted future coming to pass once again. The X-Men, convinced of Bishop's goals after he saves Beast from being infected, destroy Apocalypse's lab only to be killed when the tyrant unleashes his full power.

A satisfied Apocalypse chooses to make his escape rather than pursue the X-Men.

Professor X healed her through a psychic barrier, and Rogue deserted Mystique to join the X-Men. With the barrier failing, Ms. Marvel attempts to consume Rogue's mind and take over her body permanently. Using Cerebro, Jean is able to fully merge the dueling psyches, and Rogue rejects Mystique for making her "worse than a killer".

He talks to their leader Graydon Creed regarding his plans to exterminate mutants and recognizes him as Sabretooth's estranged son. Carly is abducted on Creed's orders, and Beast risks his life to save her. Wolverine uses Cerebro to expose Graydon's mutant parentage to the Friends, wrecking his public image and resulting in his followers abandoning him.

Sinister reveals his plan: having modified Magneto's technology, he can remove and transfer the abilities of choice mutants at will to those loyal to him, creating a "perfect" race suitable for conquering humanity. Sauron uses his hypnotic stare on Xavier, forcing him to send a distress call to the X-Men. Despite knowing that it's a trap, the team flies in to save their mentor's life.
Part II: While the other X-Men are easily overwhelmed by Sinister's followers without their powers, Wolverine escapes and runs into Ka-Zar. The latter frees his people as Wolverine distracts Sinister and enables Xavier to destroy the lab's equipment, restoring the powers of the X-Men and Magneto. After a fierce battle, the Nasty Boys flee to save themselves, the Mutates surrender, Morph is freed from his brainwashing, and Sinister's physical body is reduced to pieces by Cyclops' optic blasts, which Jean then scatters telepathically. Magneto thanks Xavier but assures him that they remain enemies before departing. As the X-Men leave in the Blackbird, a gleeful Sauron notes that with the "outlanders" gone from the Savage Land, he can finally realize his own ambitions...

Part I: The Morlocks are raided by the Reavers, mercenaries led by Yuriko, a vengeful Japanese ex-lover of Wolverine's. They claim their prize - an ancient alien vessel the Morlocks had dug up - which releases a telepathic signal that only Xavier can detect using Cerebro. Seeking to punish Wolverine for the death of her father (a scientist killed during his escape from Dr. Cornelius' lab after being turned into Weapon X), Yuriko lures him into the sewers and uses the Morlocks as hostages to force him to open the vessel. Jubilee, having followed in secret with Gambit's help, intervenes. Xavier decodes the signal, realizing that the vessel is a prison ship, just as Wolverine slashes it open to save Yuriko's life when her cybernetics are short-circuited by its power source.
Part II: A dangerous parasitic alien lifeform, the Spirit Drinker, is freed from the prison ship and unleashes its powers, absorbing the souls of the Reavers and the captive Morlocks. With Xavier's help, Beast gathers the X-Men to try and determine how to stop the creature from reaching the surface, where it will be able to feed freely. When Jubilee's soul is taken as well, Wolverine and Yuriko stay behind to hold off the Spirit Drinker until it claims Yuriko's soul next. The X-Men realize the creature is weak to electricity and use a subway third rail to destroy it, restoring the absorbed souls. Yuriko calls a draw and leaves Wolverine in peace. Xavier's mind, now affected by the alien signal, is plagued with visions of a strange woman in a starship asking him for help.

The X-Men accidentally trigger a meltdown that destroys Eagle One while trying to stop Erik, who escapes unscathed. While returning to Earth, the residual energy from the damaged starship consumes the shuttle as Jean pilots it; her desperation and strong emotions attract a mysterious entity which merges with her and saves the shuttle.

A group of space pirates called the Starjammers attack and steal the M'Kraan Crystal from the X-Men. The Starjammer's Leader Corsair plots to use the Crystal as bait to assassinate D'Ken and convinces Cyclops to aid him in his plan, which goes terribly awry.
Part V: D'Ken gets pulled into the Crystal and becomes one with the universe inside it.

Season 5 (1996–97)

[edit source]

"Beyond Good and Evil" was meant to be the series finale, until Fox ordered more episodes at the last minute, but at a reduced budget. To save money, Saban produced episodes five to ten in-house rather than involving Graz Entertainment, to whom it had outsourced production of the series. Saban hired a studio in the Philippines, the Philippine Animation Studio (which also worked on the second season of the 1994 Fantastic Four series) because the prior animation studio AKOM was unavailable due to other projects. As such, starting with episode five, this season had a distinctly different animation style.
