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.

Setting the Stage for Season 2

The finale masterfully wraps up ongoing storylines while leaving us hungry for more. With the X-Men scattered across time and Apocalypse’s return, Season 2 promises even greater challenges and revelations.
