Last time on X-Men

As this is a continuation of the ‘90s animated series, the trailer for X-Men ‘97 starts with a refresher on where we left off with our merry mutants. A TV plays footage of the series finale “Graduation Day.” That episode ended the series with Xavier near death of after an attack from an energy disruptor. Lilandra, the empress of the Shi’ar and one of Xavier’s main love interests, swoops in to save the day, but under the condition that Xavier has to travel back to the Shi’ar Empire with her in order to fully recover. In the final scene, the X-Men and Magneto (putting aside his plans for world domination in order to see off his closest friend) say goodbye to Charles. “Fate lies in our hands now,” says Jean Grey as the screen crackles and the Marvel logo appears.
