Trivia: an unfinished Sentinel appears in the episode too, it somewhat resembles Nimrod, but it is supposed to be just an unfinished sentinel. However the sentinel is small in side and fits through a door... Master Mold somehow only chooses to send him instead of an army of sentinels, which all adds to the confusion.
More trivia: Gargoyle is the unofficial fan name of the guy in the intro sequence at the end of each episode that appears as part of the Brotherhood of Mutants in the opening credits. He bears a vague resemblance to Gargoyle, so some viewers presumed it to be him. However, the producers of the series have since revealed that this character is just a generic mutant not meant to be anyone. It was a random character model, he appeared in this episode helping Jubilee and Gambit with chores. This made up error character that is not part of official X-men lore. And whilst named after the Hulk villain, his mutant appears with a Pink skin. - 1992–199722mTV-Y7-FV7.7 (1.1K)TV EpisodeDirectorLarry HoustonStarsPhilip AkinBrett HalseyLawrence BayneThe X-Men discover their home destroyed and Professor X missing.

"Beyond Good and Evil" was meant to be an ending to the series, until Fox decided to buy more episodes at the last minute.[citation needed] As such, the final six episodes produced have a different animation style. To save money, Saban produced the final episodes of the series in house rather than involving Graz Entertainment, to whom it had outsourced production of the series until that point. Saban hired a studio in the Philippines (simply called the Philippine Animation Studio, which also worked on the second season of the 1994 Fantastic Four series) because the animation studio AKOM (the company that did the previous four seasons) was unavailable due to other projects in their pipeline. - 1992–199721mTV-Y7-FV7.7 (564)TV EpisodeDirectorLarry HoustonFred MillerStarsCedric SmithNorm SpencerCatherine DisherThe X-Men are attacked by the Phalanx, a race of techno-organic aliens seeking to assimilate all life on earth.The X-Men are attacked by the Phalanx, a race of techno-organic aliens seeking to assimilate all life on earth.
