Notes & Trivia[]
- The X-Men were created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby. They first appeared in The X-Men, Volume 1 #1 in September, 1963. The title eventually evolved to include the "All-New, All-Different" X-Men, after which the series became a runaway hit, ultimately changing its title to Uncanny X-Men. Since then, this outcast team of mutant misadventurers have appeared in numerous comic book titles that have since been adapted into several cartoon programs, feature films, and video games; not to mention copious amounts of merchandising ranging from toys to apparel.
- The mid-season break was in between episodes 5x09 and 5x10, "Jubilee's Fairy Tale Theater" and "Fifth Horseman".
- Episode 5x09, "Jubilee's Fairy Tale Theater", is a re-imagining of the "Kitty's Fairy Tale" story from Uncanny X-Men #153.
- "The Phalanx Covenant" is an adaptation of a multi-part storyline that ran through issues of Uncanny X-Men, X-Men, Volume 2, Cable, Volume 1, X-Force, X-Factor and Wolverine, Volume 2 in 1994. The story was split up into three serials, "Generation Next", "Life Signs", and "Final Sanction".
