Synopsis

The X-Men are drawn into battle against D'ken within the confines of the world within the M'kraan Crystal where Phoenix makes a last stand.

Notes

• This episode is loosely based on X-Men #108.

Trivia

• While the X-Men, Starjammers, and Imperial Guard fight D'ken inside the M'kraan Crystal both a Skrull and a Badoon are among the group.
• Originally the two of the next planned episodes were to be "No Mutant is an Island" and "Longshot", but due to animation problems and delays they were held back until season 5. Consequently, Jean Grey's return was not properly explained. "A Deal with the Devil" was planned for season 4 but was also held back.
