The X-Men animated series have a deal like that.
X-Men S3 E17 "The Dark Phoenix Saga, Part 4: The Fate of the Phoenix"

I didn't actually see this, but a friend described it to me. He only vaguely remembered it from his childhood, and he was born in the 1980s so this could be a 1990s movie.
I tried searching Death's Hourglass and Living on Borrowed Time but with no luck.
