X-Men ‘97 episode 5, WEAPON X, LIES, AND DVDS, Wolverine gets his adamantium back, but at what cost? This episode parodies movies like John Carpenter's The Thing and Ridley Scott's Alien, while delivering massive callbacks to five iconic episodes from the original X-Men: The Animated Series.
We’re breaking down the return of Team X, including Maverick, Silver Fox and Sabretooth. The arrival of The Brood. Plus, we analyze Wolverine’s muddled backstory, Lady Deathstrike’s, and the return of Omega Red. Why did Morph really join this mission, and what does Wolverine's "betrayal" mean for the team moving forward? We’ve got every detail, reference, and hidden connection to the wider Weapon Plus program.
