While X-Men ‘97 has been on an upward trajectory since the X-Men: The Animated Series revival debuted, no one was prepared for episode 5, titled 'Remember It'. Feeling like the series’ very own Avengers: Infinity War, it was an episode of shock departures and franchise-shattering events. Most are too busy reeling from the apparent deaths of mainstays like Gambit and Magneto to realize where things are heading, but X-Men ‘97's latest instalment might have inadvertently set the stage for Deadpool 3.
Tying together what we’ve learned so far on X-Men ‘97, the tragic attack on the mutant nation of Genosha was triggered by Nathan Summers/Cable arriving from the future. The fan-favorite (who was recently confirmed as the adult son of Scott Summers and Madelyne Pryor) returned to warn his mother about the arrival of a “Godzilla Sentinel”. Even though Cable wasn’t able to reveal who exactly was behind the attack before he was pulled back to the future, you should probably get ready to know the name, Cassandra Nova.
