History Trivia / XMenEvolution

** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeed'' and ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeedDestiny': Cyclops, Havok, Forge, and Wolfsbane are voiced by Rey Za Burrel, Kira Yamato, Athrun Zala, and Lacus Clyne respectively. It gets downright hilarious with [[FantasticRacism Bolivar Trask]], who is voiced by Uzumi Nara Athha.

** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'', Cyclops is [[Creator/KirbyMorrow Trowa]], Nightcrawler is [[Creator/BradSwaile Quatre]], Wolverine is [[Creator/ScottMcNeil Duo]], Angel is [[Music/MarkHildreth Heero]], Madame Hydra is [[Creator/LisaAnnBeley Relena]] and Callisto is [[Creator/SaffronHenderson Noin]] just to start with.

** Music/MarkHildreth is Quicksilver in ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen''.

** Bill Switzer {[[WesternAnimation/MummiesAlive Presley Carnarvon]]) is Cannonball.

** Later in the series, three of the X-Men were PutOnABus, supposedly because the cast was too large. Wolfsbane, a character who hardly spoke, was an obvious choice. Jubilee, however, had a very minor role but ''did'' have a few subplots with Bobby & Sam, and appeared considerably more than Wolfsbane. Then later [[TheScrappy Evan]] decided to live in the sewers because his powers were growing out of control. The irony is that Sunspot, a character who appeared even less than Wolfsbane, stayed even though he did virtually nothing for the rest of the series, resulting in two girls being the only New Recruits dropped. This causes said New Recruits to only have one female in the group, leading to some UnfortunateImplications.

** WordOfGod has also stated there was pressure put on the show at times to include more superheroes from the Marvel universe. The producers though wanted to keep their own universe small and the focus on mutants rather than having to explain how TheIncredibleHulk, Spider-Man or TheMightyThor fit in. They still were forced to include CaptainAmerica in a second season episode. ExecutiveMeddling also led to the creation of X-23. Marvel executives wanted more Wolverine, but the show's producers felt the focus should be on the kids. X-23 was seen as a compromise since she would be a young female clone of Wolverine.

* ExecutiveMeddling: Due to sensitivity after September 11th, cuts were made to the episode "Growing Pains". In the episode, Avalanche risks his life to save Shadowcat from debris; but because network censors were worried about children's reactions to a character having something fall down on them, the scene was cut. So at the end of the episode, Lance appears to be holding Kitty for no real reason. Frank Paur, who directed many episodes of the series, believes this censorship made viewers confused about the Lance and Kitty romance initially since it established why Kitty changed her opinion of him from Season One. All DVD releases restore this scene.

** Creator/ScottMcNeil Scott freaking McNeil]] is Wolverine.
** Creator/BradSwaile is Nightcralwe.

** Magneto is [[Series/StargateSG1 Teal'C]].
** Also, who expects [[Creator/KirbyMorrow Cyclops]] to [[Manga/InuYasha ask every passing woman to bear his children]]? Or [[Creator/RichardIanCox Quicksilver]] to [[Manga/InuYasha bust out the Wind Scar]]?
** Close your eyes and listen to [[Creator/DavidKaye Professor Xavier]] say [[WesternAnimation/BeastWars "Yes."]] It's funny.
*** Don't have to--Creator/DavidKaye [[ActingForTwo also]] [[TalkingToHimself voiced]] Apocalypse and gave him a version of his [[WesternAnimation/BeastWars Megatron]] voice.
*** To further the prior Manga/InuYasha references, he was also Sesshoumaru.
**** And on that note, just to throw in two more Inuyasha references, [[Creator/KellySheridan the Scarlet Witch is Sango]] and [[Creator/PaulDobson Naraku]] [[MemeticMutation is the Juggernaut, bitch!]]
***** Amanda is [[Manga/InuYasha Kagome]]!!! It's like they approached the whole cast!
***** Out of 49 named characters in ''X-Men Evolution'', 32 of the voice actors were also in ''Manga/InuYasha''. One example not yet here is Wolverine (mentioned below) as a demon wolf pack leader. It's almost as if [[SuperSenses Inuyasha]] and [[SuperSpeed Koga]] traded powers.
** Not to mention the fact that [[Creator/BradSwaile Nightcrawler]] is [[Manga/DeathNote Light]], and Gambit is [[Manga/DeathNote L]]!
*** For even more ''Death Note'' goodness, Cyclops is also Teru Mikami and Mystique's Rem.
*** And [[Creator/MichaelAdamtwaite Colossus is Raye Penber]], [[TabithaStGermain Danielle Moonstar is Naomi Misora]], and [[SamuelVincent Forge is Sidoh]] (and [[WesternAnimation/FantasticFourWorldsGreatestHeroes HERBIE]]) .
** Wolverine is [[Creator/ScottMcNeil Scott freaking McNeil]]. Pick a reference, any reference. Most notable is [[WesternAnimation/BeastWars Dinobot]] and [[WesternAnimation/BeastWars Rattrap]].
*** Speaking of which, try picture Wolverine [[Anime/DragonBallZ yelling]] [[WebVideo/DragonBallAbridged "DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODGE!"]]. Pure. Freakin'. Hilarity.
** [[MattHill Alex Masters]] is also known as one [[GundamSeed Kira Yamato]] in the future.
** [[Creator/VenusTerzo Jean]] is [[WesternAnimation/BeastWars Blackarachnia]], or if you prefer, [[RanmaOneHalf Female!Ranma]].
*** And regarding the latter, in addition to being Inuyasha, Quicksilver's also [[RanmaOneHalf Male!Ranma]].
*** [[Creator/KellySheridan Wanda]] is also [[RanmaOneHalf Ukyo]]. (And {{Franchise/Barbie}}. ...) The Ocean Group is prolific.
** It was very odd/surreal to hear Toad's voice on LawAndOrderSVU. (He was CSU Tech Stuckey.)
** [[Main/MarkHildreth Angel]] is Quicksilver in ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen''.
*** Mark Hildreth playing a {{Stoic}} hero associated with angelic imagery? [[GundamWing You don't say...]]
** [[Creator/DavidHayter Captain America]] is the [[MetalGearSolid greatest soldier of the 20th century]].
** This show's dialogue was recorded by the Ocean Group, hence all of the Inuyasha and Ranma 1/2 voice actors. Said dubbing company is based in Vancouver, practically in walking distance the the Stargate SG-1 set, which is why Teal'c played Magneto. It's possible that this show helped the Ocean Group rise back up to join the dubbing company elite like Funimation and ADV (so sad, ADV).
** You should be careful when messing with [[Creator/AndrewFrancis Bobby]] before he gets [[IronManArmoredAdventures The Incredible Hulk to smash you]];
*** Or when he goes apeshit and says he wants to [[{{Escaflowne}} BURN YOU!]]
** Would you believe that [[AndreaLibman X-23]] is ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie]]''?
*** And while we're on the subject of MLP: FIM cast members who worked on Evolution, [[TabithaStGermain Danielle Moonstar]] is Rarity.
*** Bobby/Iceman's voice actor is also "Shining Armor, Lucky, Royal Guards (The Crystal Empire), additional male Crystal Ponies" according to TheOtherWiki.
*** Destiny's voice actress [[HeAlsoDid also played]] the Mane-iac.
** This also includes the ''GundamWing'' English dub. Scott is [[GatlingGood Trowa]], Kurt is Quatre, Wolverine is [[SinisterScythe Duo]], Madam Hydra is [[Creator/LisaAnnBeley Relena]] and Callisto is [[Creator/SaffronHenderson Noin]] just to start with.
** [[WesternAnimation/EdEddnEddy Ed, Edd and Eddy]] are all on the show, as [[MattHill Havok]], [[SamuelVincent Forge]] and [[TonySampson Berzerker]], respectively.
** American TheVisionOfEscaflowne voice cast in X-Men: Evo
*** Cyclops is Van.
*** Scarlet Witch is Hitomi.
*** Jean is Millerna (Try listening to any conversation with Jean and Scott; now picture Van and Millerna. Weeeeird...)
*** Destiny is Eries Aston, Millerna's elder sister. (In 1.03, Rogue's Recruit, listen to her say "She's a teenage girl.")
*** As already mentioned, Creator/ScottMcNeil (Wolverine) voices many characters... he's Jajuka in Escaflowne.
*** Blob's voice is Dryden Fassa (Now listen to any interaction between Blob and Jean! Especially 1.04, Mutant Crush). The voice actor, Creator/MichaelDobson, is also from ''Inuyasha'' (Final Act: Magatsuhi).
*** Again already mentioned, Bobby/Iceman is Dilandau (that's an elemental switch).
*** Juggernaut is Folken.
** Shadowcat's voice actor is Tomoyo Daidouji (Madison Taylor) from ''Manga/{{Card Captors|akura}}''.
** Avalance is Dark Specter from ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace''.
** Creator/PaulDobson (Juggernaut) also voices Obsidian and Tankor in ''WesternAnimation/BeastMachines'', several in Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures, Transformers: Armada, Energon, and Cybertron (several voices), and lots of video games.

* OlderThanTheyThink: The ShipTease between Wolverine and Storm can actually trace its roots back to, if not the comics, then to the '90s ''WesternAnimation/XMen'' animated series, where one episode has a Wolverine and a Storm from a ParallelUniverse BadFuture who are openly ''married'' to each other. Plus some flirting between the mainstream ones in that same episode.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: At one point, GrantMorrison wanted to include Rogue in the team lineup for his run on ''ComicBook/NewXMen'', and indicated that he planned to base her appearance and personality on ''Evolution'''s interpretation of the character. Had this actually happened, it's possible that the canonical Rogue would have been brought more in line with Evolution!Rogue.
