‘X-Men ’97’ Episode 5’s Shocking Deaths Explained

X-Men ’97 may have just killed off two of its most beloved characters. However, episode 5’s deaths may not be as straight-forward as fans think.

Following Genosha’s official status with the United Nations being confirmed, Sentinels attacked the country, leaving many mutants fighting for their life. In the final moments of the episode, Gambit also sacrifices himself to take down the Sentinel, with Rogue holding his corpse and saying the soul-wrenching line “Sugar, I can’t feel you.” Comic book fans may also see confirmation that Witness is a Gambit variant, serving as a temporal anomaly and potential multiverse anchor for the series.
