- TriviaSidney Iwanter, an executive at Fox Broadcasting Company, originally planned on "ending" the series with a big bang ("Beyond Good and Evil - parts 1-4"). They even had planned to have characters leaving the team at the conclusion, but at the last minute Fox asked for more episodes. Unfortunately, at the time Marvel Entertainment Group was filing for bankruptcy and could not afford to produce more episodes, so Saban Entertainment funded them directly. This explains why the last six episodes looked different than the previous 70. So the show officially "ended" things again with Graduation Day (1997).
- GoofsThe Friends of Humanity Headquarters sign is spelled, "Friends of Humanty."
- Crazy creditsAt the beginning of the opening credits (Season 1-4), the X-Men first soar through space and through the series title. At the end, the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants collide with each other and form the series title.
- Alternate versionsIn the first showing of the episode where the X-men fight Apocolypse in Muir Island, the episode ends with a shot of the X-mansion in good condition, but the second and third showings have a different ending where the X-men discover that the X-Mansion was destroyed (Juggernaut destroyed the Mansion).

Featured review
It's been a while since I last watched "X-Men," the animated series from the early 1990s, but I do remember that this is/was one of the greatest comic book superhero shows I ever watched during my childhood. I was a reader of the Stan Lee-/Jack Kirby-co-created X-Men comics for Marvel Comics as a child - along with Spider-Man, who remains my favorite superhero, and the two Marvel Comics titles formed the cornerstone of my fascination with comic book superheroes. The "X-Men" titles struck a personal chord with me as I got older because of how its world re-defined people's hatreds and prejudices against each other to accommodate people with mutant powers being discriminated against by the powers-that-be. Being a black American, I instantly related to the plight of the X-Men and any other mutant character who was the target of those who ultimately wished the destruction of anyone with mutant powers. That was ultimately the greatest element about the comics, and this incredible animated series. It's the reason why I grew to deeply appreciate Marvel Comics more than any other comic book publisher in the industry. "X-Men," "Spider-Man: The Animated Series," and "Batman: The Animated Series" were all the reasons why during the early '90s, I loved comic book superhero cartoon shows.
