* WriterOnBoard: Professor X makes specific note that Storm's power to control the weather isn't fully understood. That was a common refrain of ''Franchise/XMen'' creator Creator/StanLee, who didn't seem to have the same confusion about how other X-Men could shoot death beams from their eyes or transform sound into lasers.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Couldn't find a home -- even in syndication -- marking yet another occasion where Marvel failed to sell a show featuring their own characters. It didn't help that New World began to have financial issues around this time, briefly forcing Marvel Productions to stop work on everything but ''WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies1984''.
* TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment: Was in production by early 1987; didn't get released until 1988 on video and then aired as part of the short-lived ''Marvel Action Universe'' syndicated block (taking the place of a 13th episode of ''WesternAnimation/RoboCopTheAnimatedSeries'' -- indeed, the budget for that 13th episode instead went towards the creation of this pilot).

** The whole reason Wolverine is Australian here was because of Australian things (like ''Film/MadMax'' and ''Film/CrocodileDundee'') being extremely popular when the pilot was produced; Marvel apparently had plans for the comics version to actually be an expatriated Australian, and not Canadian. These plans never happened, but the idea left this pilot with the Aussie Wolvie as an aftereffect.

A new executive at the toy company that funded the show came in and, wanting a more [[MerchandiseDriven toyetic]] "good guy vs bad guys" premise, pushed to introduce all of the Brotherhood characters in the first episode, leading to the final script.
