The "Night of the Sentinels" two-part episode originally aired as a "sneak preview" even though it truly wasn't ready for broadcast.

The second longest, Spider-Man: The Animated Series, lasted for five seasons and 65 episodes.

"I've never been a Marvel fan, but this cartoon was awesome. Actually the only reason I still like the X-Men to this day is due to this very cartoon. Wolverine was my favorite "good" character and Apocalypse my favorite villain.

Note: I didn't get into X-Men a bit later seeing that I was more into Spider-Man, but the show was awesome. One of the best superhero shows of the 90's. "
