X-Men: Evolution

However, this was scrapped as the network did not want the title to reference children.

Gordon, the character designer and director of various episodes, was never impressed with the Mystique designs for the first season.

Mystique was originally to be presented as nude, akin to her film counterpart, but Warner Bros. did not want this included in a Kids' WB! production.

However, a short scene of Mystique drawn to resemble her film counterpart (albeit clothed) appears in the Season 1 finale.

The show also contained various pop culture references: in episode 9 of the first season, one of Wolverine's defensive programs for the Danger Room is referred to as "Logan's Run X13", a reference to the novel/film Logan's Run.

The Rogue/Kitty dance in "Spykecam" was modeled after a similar dance in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Bad Girls".
