Related 10 Biggest Ways X-Men '97 Is Different To X-Men: The Animated Series While many aspects of X-Men: The Animated Series Have been perfectly preserved in X-Men ’97, there are some notable changes to modernize the show. On the other side of X-Men '97 episode 4 was Storm's journey with Forge. With Storm being one of X-Men '97's most powerful characters, the loss of her powers was a major plot point. X-Men '97 episode 4's second half, "Lifedeath - Part 1," focused entirely on Storm trying to regain her powers with the help of Forge, a character who will likely continue into X-Men '97 season 2's story. Through these two storylines, several big character moments, villains, and story points were revealed by the time of X-Men '97 episode 4's ending.

After being sucked into a video game on a so-called Motendo console, Jubilee quickly realizes that the villain Mojo is behind her kidnapping. Mojo was a recurring villain in X-Men: The Animated Series who first appeared in season 2, episode 11, "Mojovision." The character was described as a television executive from another dimension, whose ratings were severely dipping. In order to reignite interest in his TV show, Mojo kidnapped the X-Men and placed them in Mojovision, forcing the team to fight their way out.
X-Men '97 episode 4 brings back Mojo, only with the villain having changed tact since his last appearance. Mojo decided that TV was not the best option to gain attention anymore, instead switching to the flourishing medium of video games. Much like with "Mojovision," "Motendo" saw Jubilee and Sunspot placed into a video game that they had to fight their way out of. Through this storyline, X-Men '97 episode 4 saw the return of Mojo in a unique way, with the interdimensional villain trying his hand at video game production as opposed to TV.
Mojo appeared in two episodes of X-Men: The Animated Series, "Mojovision" and "Longshot."
How Jubilee Defeated Mojo In X-Men ’97 Episode 4 (& Who Abscissa Is) Motendo's storyline saw Jubilee get help from the unlikeliest of sources. Close After fighting through various levels in Mojo's video game, Jubilee and Sunspot face off against the villain himself. However, the two receive help from someone who is aiding them throughout the Motendo levels: a digital clone of Jubilee. This clone is adapted from a minor character of Marvel Comics, Abscissa. In the comics, Abscissa was a future version of Jubilee who was kidnapped by Mojo and forced to be his servant. In X-Men '97, Abscissa's origins are slightly different, yet retain the core elements of the character from Marvel Comics.
All three mutants teamed up against the villain and defeated him, allowing Sunspot and Jubilee to return to the X-Mansion...
In X-Men '97 episode 4's story, Abscissa is rewritten to be one of the digital clones of Jubilee in the video game world. The digital versions of Jubilee were used to test Mojo's game before Abscissa figured out a glitch that allowed her to survive even after the real Jubilee was inducted into the game. Abscissa then began helping Sunspot and Jubilee reach the final level against Mojo. There, all three mutants teamed up against the villain and defeated him, allowing Sunspot and Jubilee to return to the X-Mansion while Abscissa disappeared with the rest of Motendo's code.
X-Men ’97 Episode 4 Sets Up Jubilee’s Character Arc Motendo established Jubilee's desire to live out her younger years.![]()
The story of "Motendo" saw Jubilee coming to terms with her reality. She was frustrated at Magneto's new rule of the X-Men and was tired of the more serious issues that have been plaguing the team of late. From the events with Jean's clone and the disappearance of X-Men '97's Professor X to the ongoing mutant-human conflicts, "Motendo" established Jubilee’s wishes for her life to reflect that of a normal 18-year-old. However, her venture into Motendo allows her to realize that she must grow up quicker than normal children, due to her importance as a member of the X-Men.

Forge’s Major X-Men ’97 Episode 4 Reveal Explained Lifedeath - Part 1 reveals much more about Forge's character and how he links to Storm. ![]()
The second half of X-Men '97 episode 4 focused on Storm's journey with Forge, titled "Lifedeath - Part 1" after the Marvel Comics arc of the same name. In this story, Storm and Forge are shown bonding with one another while trying to restore the former's mutant abilities. However, this relationship ended sourly when Forge revealed more about his past, also taking story beats from Marvel Comics.
Forge reveals that using his mutant ability to construct any technological machine, he was tasked with creating power dampeners for mutants.
When asked about his past, and specifically why he cares so much about restoring Storm's powers, Forge reveals that he once worked for the American government. Forge reveals that using his mutant ability to construct any technological machine, he was tasked with creating power dampeners for mutants. From the collars that weaken mutants to the projectiles that caused Storm to lose her powers in X-Men '97 episode 2's ending, Forge's designs allowed future scientists to succeed in this task. Therefore, he feels guilty and responsible for Storm's loss of powers, vowing to help her retrieve them.
X-Men '97 only mentions Forge's plans for the mutant collars, not the weapon used by the X-Cutioner in episode 2, though he also created the latter in Marvel Comics.
Will Storm’s Powers Ever Return In X-Men ’97? Lifedeath - Part 1 has Storm try to recover her powers to no avail.![]()
Custom Image made by Lewis Glazebrook Throughout X-Men '97 episode 4's Storm storyline, the character tries to regain her powers at multiple points. Even after entering Forge's machine, which he hopes will restore her mutant gene to full power, Storm cannot control the weather as she used to. This begs whether Storm's powers will ever return, something Marvel Comics' storylines provide the answer to. In the comics, Forge eventually manages to update his machine enough for it to succeed, with Storm slowly regaining her ability to control the weather.

X-Men '97 episode 2 sees one of Marvel's most powerful mutants get their abilities removed, mirroring a bittersweet chain of events from the comics. Who Is The Adversary? X-Men ’97’s Demonic Villain Explained Lifedeath - Part 1 introduces a terrifying new villain to the show's story. ![]()
In X-Men '97 episode 4's ending, Storm is captured by a villain calling itself The Adversary. X-Men '97 episode 4 reveals little about the antagonist, though the Storm-Forge storyline from Marvel Comics offers hints at the villain's true nature. In the comics, Forge was raised as a member of the Cheyenne tribe, trained in the ways of magic by his shaman, Naze. The purpose of the Cheyenne shaman is to fight against The Adversary, an evil demon who seeks to destroy the universe.
As evident, The Adversary is a large part of Forge's backstory in Marvel Comics, one that X-Men '97 is seemingly adapting. While some changes are made to the comics, it likely remains the case that The Adversary in X-Men '97 episode 4's ending is the same character from the source material. In the comic book storyline, Forge and Storm eventually defeat The Adversary after the villain tricks them into opening a gateway that allows demons to enter Earth. X-Men '97 season 1 could follow this storyline, with episode 4's ending teasing The Adversary as a major future villain.
