** The X-Man killed in the pilot episode was originally intended to be Thunderbird, which was meant as a nod to the character's death in issue #95 of the original comic. However, someone up top understandably thought that introducing a Native American superhero just to kill him off in the first episode had some UnfortunateImplications, so the creators replaced him with Changeling (renamed "Morph").
** During the earliest production meetings, Professor Xavier, Jean Grey and Beast were not planned to appear in the show. The writers fought for their inclusion, arguing that they had important roles in the X-Men mythos.
** As mentioned above, "Beyond Good and Evil" was meant to be the show's GrandFinale. Had it not been renewed for additional episodes, the series would've ended with Archangel, Psylocke, Bishop and Shard officially becoming members of the X-Men.
** Conversely, had the series been renewed after "Graduation Day," Season 6 would've opened with a TimeSkip showing the X-Men having to function without Professor Xavier. Much of the season would've featured the X-Men having adventures in space after receiving a distress call from the Shi'ar Empire. It is currently unknown whether or not the 2023 revival will take this route.
** For the second season, plans were made to have Archangel to be added to the team, but ultimately those plans were scrapped.
** In the late 90s, Fox Kids was suffering from falling ratings and was looking for big events. Will Meugniot proposed an animated crossover between the X-Men and the Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers.

** According the show's art book, released in October 2020, Creator/LawrenceBayne (Cable) auditioned for the role of Wolverine, but knew Creator/CalDodd was the better pick. They've remained good friends, though.

* AllStarCast: The Creator/TVTokyo Japanese dub cast includes many famous voice actors, such as Creator/KoichiYamadera (Cyclops), Creator/MasashiEbara (Wolverine), Creator/YukoKobayashi (Rogue), Creator/AkioOhtsuka (Colossus), Creator/TesshoGenda (Cable) and Creator/RyuzaburoOtomo (Magneto) among others.
* CreatorsFavorite: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8S0O92saVk During an interview done by]] Creator/DougWalker as WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic, Julia Lewald (one of the writers) stated she and the rest of the crew behind the show’s favorite character was Beast. Eric Lewald (showrunner) said that his was Professor Xavier.
* CreatorsFavoriteEpisode: During the above interview, among the episodes they personally worked on, Julia Lewald stated her favorites were "[[Recap/XMenS1E11DaysOfFuturePastPart1 Days of Future Past, Part 1]]" and "[[Recap/XMenS2E10BeautyAndTheBeast Beauty and the Beast]]". In the case of Eric Lewald, his favorite episode was "[[Recap/XMenS4E1OneMansWorthPart1 One Man’s]] [[Recap/XMenS4E2OneMansWorthPart2 Worth]]".
* EditedForSyndication: A few episodes had [[http://notblogx.blogspot.com/2012/04/wizard-x-men-turn-thirty-august-1993.html retakes]] and were rebroadcast with different and corrected scenes. "Night of the Sentinels Pt. I" had three versions: 10/31/92, 1/9/93, and 4/3/93. "Night of the Sentinels Pt. II" had three versions: 11/7/92, 1/9/93, and 4/10/93. Both episodes aired as a one-hour special on 1/9/93. "Enter Magneto" had two versions: 11/27/92 and 1/16/93. "Slave Island" had two versions, the first on 2/13/93 did not have the cliffhanger ending with the X-Mansion wrecked.
* ExiledFromContinuity: Kitty Pryde was apparently barred from appearing in this continuity because of the failure of the earlier ''WesternAnimation/PrydeOfTheXMen'' pilot.
* FakeAmerican: Most American characters – such as Cyclops, Jean Grey, or Jubilee – are voiced by Canadian actors. Professor X is voiced by an Englishman, and Rogue (who is meant to be from Louisiana) is voiced by Creator/LenoreZann, an Australian raised in Canada who spent time in LA before moving back to Canada.
* FanNickname:
** Many of Jean Grey's screams and moans in the show have been referred to by fans as "Jean gasms".
** The show itself is frequently referred to as "X-Men: [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries The Animated Series]]" among fans (the official title is simply ''X-Men'').
* GodDoesNotOwnThisWorld: Creator/StanLee was not creatively active with Marvel comics at the time the series was being produced so his involvement wasn't particularly big on the series. He gave some producers notes on the first thirteen episodes.
* TheOtherDarrin:
** Gambit was first voiced by Creator/ChrisPotter, but was voiced by Creator/TonyDaniels in the final season.
** Creator/IonaMorris voiced Storm in the first season and the first few episodes of the second one, but left the show and was replaced with Creator/AlisonSealSmith.
** Colossus was voiced by Creator/RickBennett in his appearance in "The Unstoppable Juggernaut", while Creator/RobertCait voiced him in "Red Dawn".
** Creator/RandallCarpenter voiced Mystique in the first two seasons, while Creator/JenniferDale voiced her for the remainder of the show.
** Master Mold gets a new voice actor in season 4, who sounds completely different. Justified as it's a new model of Master Mold made after the original was destroyed.
* TheOtherMarty: For Mister Sinister's cameo appearance at the end of "The Final Decision," an actor was directed to read the line in a campy fashion. The writers would later develop Sinister as a more serious villain. After [[Creator/ChrisBritton Christopher Britton]] was hired to voice the character, he re-recorded Sinister's original cameo. The re-recorded cameo appeared in various reruns for years, though the DVD release would feature the original version.
** This also applies to Gladiator in his appearances, with his lines originally recorded by an unknown (and [[UncreditedRole uncredited]]) actor before replacing him with Creator/RichardEpcar (who also went uncredited) for TV airings and reruns. Similar to the Mister Sinister example above, the DVD release features the original performance.
* OutOfOrder: Some episodes that were intended for season 4 were pushed up to the third season. In turn, some season 3 episodes were pushed back - most ridiculously the episode "No Mutant Is An Island" which is supposed to take place during [[spoiler: Jean's death]] between the Phoenix Saga and the Dark Phoenix Saga.
** "The Unstoppable Juggernaut" originally had to be aired after "The Cure" and "Come the Apocalypse" due to animation problems. The preceding episode "Slave Island" needed to have its ending tweaked to show the mansion intact, but the change still caused continuity hiccups (such as Xavier's being away and the mansion needed to be rebuilt). This was all cleaned up in reruns.
* PostScriptSeason: WordOfGod states the "Beyond Good and Evil" four-parter was originally intended to be the GrandFinale. A renewal order led to more episodes being produced before the final end with "Graduation Day."
* StarMakingRole: For Creator/LenoreZann and Creator/CalDodd.
* TalkingToHimself: In the first season episode [[Recap/XMenS1E8TheUnstoppableJuggernaut The Unstoppable Juggernaut]], Rick Bennett provides the voices for both Colossus and Juggernaut.
* TroubledProduction: "No Mutant is an Island," "Longshot," and "A Deal with the Devil" had to be pushed back two years due to severe animation problems. Production was lucky, though, that other episodes were ready to go and fill out the slots. "Longshot" was such a case that the original studio attached to it (Creator/HongYing, who also animated "No Mutant is an Island") was replaced entirely by a different studio and held over until the show's fifth season.
** An even more severe case happened with the "Night of the Sentinels" two-part pilot, to the point where the [[Creator/{{AKOM}} animators]] refused to fix them until Fox threatened to sever the contract.
* UnfinishedEpisode: While 76 episodes were produced, there remains one script that never made it into active production. It was called "Bring Me Charles Xavier," and would've brought back Comicbook/{{Colossus}}, Comicbook/{{Illyana|Rasputin}}, Omega Red and Darkstar for a "hard-edged" story set in Russia. The script ultimately went unproduced after multiple note-givers raised concerns about the premise of the story.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** The X-Man killed in the pilot episode was originally intended to be Thunderbird, which was meant as a nod to the character's death in issue #95 of the original comic. However, someone up top understandably thought that introducing a Native American superhero just to kill him off in the first episode had some UnfortunateImplications, so the creators replaced him with Changeling (renamed "Morph").
** During the earliest production meetings, Professor Xavier, Jean Grey and Beast were not planned to appear in the show. The writers fought for their inclusion, arguing that they had important roles in the X-Men mythos.
** As mentioned above, "Beyond Good and Evil" was meant to be the show's GrandFinale. Had it not been renewed for additional episodes, the series would've ended with Archangel, Psylocke, Bishop and Shard officially becoming members of the X-Men.
** Conversely, had the series been renewed after "Graduation Day," Season 6 would've opened with a TimeSkip showing the X-Men having to function without Professor Xavier. Much of the season would've featured the X-Men having adventures in space after receiving a distress call from the Shi'ar Empire.
** For the second season, plans were made to have Archangel to be added to the team, but ultimately those plans were scrapped.
** In the late 90s, Fox Kids was suffering from falling ratings and was looking for big events. Will Meugniot proposed an animated crossover between the X-Men and the Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers. It got as far as [[https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=2283377158615472&id=100008296299260 conceptual art]] before being scrapped; according to Meugniot this was because one property would be too successful than the other.
** According the show's art book, released in October 2020, Creator/LawrenceBayne (Cable) auditioned for the role of Wolverine, but knew Creator/CalDodd was the better pick. They're remained good friends, though.
