If you're afraid of clowns, don't watch the X-Men Evolution episode "Mindbender" (but feel free to enjoy our recap). The show introduces the hypnotic villain Mesmero, who uses his powers to take over Jean's mind and get her to steal a bunch of jewelry for him. Soon, he also takes over the minds of several other X-Men and takes them on epic heists to steal more stuff. Unfortunately, Mesmero does all of that so he can start the process of awakening Apocalypse, but this episode is pretty fun anyway.
