[edit] Background

The plot was loosely adapted from famous storylines and events in the X-Men comics, such as the Dark Phoenix Saga, Days of Future Past, the Phalanx Covenant, and the Legacy Virus. The show features a team line-up similar to that of the early 1990s X-Men comic books: The line-up largely resembles that of Cyclops' Blue Team, established in the early issues of the second X-Men comic series.

The series' first 13 episodes were notable for being possibly the first time ever that an animated series had a full season of episodes flow one into the next, creating a single continuing narrative, something the series producers fought heavily for. ^[1] However, starting with season three, most episodes (except for multi-part stories) ended up shown in random order.

Each episodes was assigned two different numbers internally. One is for Script Order, which indicates the number assigned by the production company. The other is for Production Order, which are the official episode numbers assigned by FOX Children's Network, indicating in what order they received the episodes. These both vary from the order in which the series actually aired after season three. According to series writer Steven Melching, the Script Order is the "best guide in terms of overall series continuity, as this is how the stories were originally envisioned to flow together." ^[2]

The X-Men also appeared on Spider-Man in episodes "The Mutant Agenda" and "Mutants' Revenge". Storm later appeared in the three part episode “Secret Wars”.

As of 2008, the X-Men animated show stands as the longest running Marvel Comics based TV show, lasting for six years, with five seasons and a total of 76 episodes. The series was canceled after the episode "Graduation Day", which aired on September 20, 1997.^[3]

[edit] Season-by-season overview

[edit] Season 1

The first season order was thirteen episodes, which was standard for a network show. The Sentinel story wrapped up at the end of the season because the writers weren’t sure that there would be more than one season. Looking back at the previous Marvel animated adaptations, there was great fear that X-Men would fail. When the first season became a number one hit, the network ordered 39 more episodes.^[4]

"Beyond Good And Evil" was meant to be an ending to the series, until FOX bought a few more episodes at the last minute. The final six episodes have a different animation style (Saban did the animation themselves) due to the original animation studio (Graz Entertainment) that worked on the series going bankrupt.
