X-Men ’97 Season 1 Finale: “Tolerance Is Extinction” – A Recap

The High-Stakes Showdown

In the climactic 10th episode of Season 1, titled “Tolerance Is Extinction,” the X-Men face their most formidable adversaries yet. Here are the key takeaways:

  • Professor X vs. Magneto:

  • Professor X hijacks Magneto’s powers to reverse the EMP attack on Earth, but pays a heavy price – his psyche shatters.

  • Jean Grey, resurrected by the Phoenix Force, confronts Mister Sinister in an epic battle.

  • Bastion’s Evolution:

  • Bastion evolves into a higher form by absorbing Cable’s techno-virus and removing his arm.

  • Terrified, the United Nations approves the use of the Magneto Protocols, launching missiles at Asteroid M to prevent catastrophe.

  • Scattered Through Time:

  • Xavier leads Magneto back to his body, saving Earth from Asteroid M, but the X-Men pay a price.

  • Some X-Men are sent to the past, while others end up in the distant future.

  • Apocalypse Returns:

  • Most of the X-Men find themselves in Ancient Egypt, encountering Apocalypse.

  • Cyclops and Jean Grey are sent to the distant future, where they meet Clan Askani and a young Cable.

The Dark Twist: Gambit’s Fate

As the credits roll, a stinger reveals Apocalypse in present-day Genosha. Amidst the wreckage, he retrieves one of Gambit’s destroyed cards. An off-screen voice mourns, “So much pain, my children. So much death.” This hints at a shocking future for Gambit – one that fans will eagerly anticipate in Season 2.
