The Dark Phoenix (2): The Inner Circle - S3-E12
Trivia: The main antagonists in this episode as well as the episode that follows it are the Inner Circle. In the comics, the Inner Circle are a sort of clandestine group of mutants that operate within an elitist social group known as the Hellfire Club. Due to censorship reasons, the Hellfire Club aspect of the group is not acknowledged. Its members are visually based on famous actors. Sebastian Shaw is based on Robert Shaw, Harry Leland is based on Orson Welles, Donald Pierce is based on Donald Sutherland, and Mastermind in his Jason Wyngarde persona is based on Peter Wyngarde. The White Queen/Emma Frost is based on the character Emma Peel from the British television series "The Avengers."

The X-Files (1993)
Trivia: Throughout the course of its initial nine-year run, The X-Files had crossovers with 3 other television shows: the short-lived Millennium in the season 7 episode "Millennium," COPS in the season 7 episode "X-COPS" and Homicide: Life on the Street in the season 5 episode "Unusual Suspects." The crossover with Homicide: Life on the Street is especially noteworthy as that show was produced by a different network. The X-Files also had a non-canon crossover with The Simpsons in their season 8 episode "The Springfield Files."

X-Men (1992)
Trivia: This episode depicted Bella Donna as being Gambit's former fiancée. In the comics, the two were actually married. This change was likely made for the show due to it being too mature of a theme for a kids' show for Gambit to have both an estranged wife and an extramarital relationship with Rogue.

X-Men (1992)
Trivia: Lady Deathstrike's outfit had to be slightly modified due to censorship issues. In the show she is wearing a white shirt under her vest. In the comics, the white shirt is not there, revealing a lot of cleavage. Obviously not acceptable for a kids' Saturday morning cartoon show. Director Larry Houston even stated that they deliberately drew her flat-chested in storyboards, because they knew her large breasts would be an issue. However, Philippine Animation Studio, Inc, who were hired to animate the episode, were supposedly huge fans of Marvel Comics and took it upon themselves to improve on the storyboards they were given, and animated her in such a way, that when she would turn, her breasts would follow through and settle. Houston claims he still has the raw VHS footage of this animation in storage.
