Cyclops is Waiting for Me - An X-Men: The Animated Series Weekly Recap

Spider-Man, Hobgoblin and Max NoSleeves return for a second bonus episode where we check out the 2 part crossover between X-Men 92' and Spider-Man 94'. Coming off of a cliffhanger of one of the pumpkin bombs being hurled at Spider-Man and Wolverine, will they survive? Well yea, because it would be a pretty short episode if not. Max continues to share more of his Spider-Man fandom and JC and Rod share a special announcement about next week's X-Men 92' "Graduation Day" finale!

A two week interlude before we get to our X-Men 92' series finale with an epic incoming episode, our friend Max NoSleeves joins as we swing into Spider-Man 94' as Peter Parker turns to the world's foremost expert on mutation Charles Xavier to stop him from becoming some sort of monster. Per usual with super hero crossovers, things don't start out with hugs and handshakes. Meanwhile the Hobgoblin is clowning around with one of Beast's old colleagues.

This penultimate episode of X-Man: The Animated Series 1992 run unexpectedly takes us back even further than the Old Soldiers episode did. One of Xavier's ancestors closely crosses paths with the increasingly frustrated Nathaniel Essex (and THE Charles Darwin) as we get the animated origin of Mister Sinister. With this podcast episode recorded before the announcement of Mister Sinister being the primary antagonist of at least the first season of X-Men 97', Descent delivers on the name of showing the madness overtake a man ahead of his time without a proper moral compass to approach his rapidly evolving world.

That Guthrie boy is at it again. Sort of. Though not the first time we've seen Cannonball on screen, this episode formally introduces this future New Mutant to the show along with some new plot points that there is no way they'll be able to wrap up in just two more episodes. Joining JC and Rod is Michelle Waffle, co-host of the Power of X podcast and one of our favorite X-Men cosplayers! Michelle joins the boys on this Rogue-led episode filled with a whole lot of "small town charm" (interpret as you see fit).

Aside from how traumatic it was, find us a better character history than Wolverine's. Going even further back in time, this episode takes us back to World War II where Logan pairs up with Captain America to take on the Red Skull. Based off an issue of Uncanny X-Men that JC actually owns, this episode is one of the standouts of the final season.

What better episode to have Carlos Castillo, a.k.a. the Nostalgic Latino, join us than the episode that still hurts even through nostalgia goggles. JC, Rod and Carlos talk through what is likely the weirdest episode of the entire original X-Men 92' run as fan surrogate Jubilee takes a group of kids through a tale of fantasy and sorcery. We'll be honest, it isn't a good one. But we said every episode and we are sticking to it.

If nothing else, this episode had two things about it that we love: Helping tie up a lingering story thread from a previous season and confusing Rod. Bonus points for some comic references while we are at it too. Beast and Jubilee are wrapping up a South American expedition only to cross paths with Fabian Cortez and his hounds, including former Morlock Caliban, and a tribe of people worshipping Apocalypse. And most importantly, Jubilee is old enough to drive.

Our final episode in the classic animation style, Storm finds herself smitten by an extra-dimensional himbo who is tossing up more than a few flags. Curious on JC and Rod's thoughts on toxic relationships? Get it here!

Massive climate anomalies hit the US east coast but in the 90's it wasn't caused by climate change like it is today. Instead, a lightning bolt tossing demigod who isn't Asgardian is trying to lure storm to help him save a dying world. This two-parter is the final Storm focused story of X-Men 92' as we march towards Graduation Day!

In what feels like the second half of a zombie movie, Beast, Warlock, Forge and Sinister need to act fast to prevent the world from being taken over by the Phalanx infection. In an episode that on paper reads like a massive mismatch of characters, this combination just works and showcases the strength of the series and the team behind it. But, of course, Rod and JC focus on shade being thrown at Xavier by his exes as the world is on the brink of collapse.
