FIRST LOOK @ X-MEN: EVOLUTION'S "DAY OF RECKONING"

[Eric J. Moreels]

<a href="http://x-mencomics.com/xfan/images/evo/xmevologo.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://x-mencomics.com/xfan/images/evo/xmevologot.jpg" align=left alt="X-Men: Evolution logo"></a>The Kids' WB! network recently provided X-Fan with a first look at the upcoming two-part season ender for X-Men: Evolution, entitled "Day of Reckoning".

Here's how the network describes the episode:

"In the pivotal episodes 'Day of Reckoning, Parts 1 & 2', the X-Men team joins with their rivals The Brotherhood, forcing one X-Man to leave the group. This new alliance goes head-to-head with arch-nemesis, Magneto and his group of misfits... changing the lives of every mutant in a dramatic twist of fate."

Due to the many surprises and plot twists that the two-parter contains, both Kids' WB! and Film Roman have asked that X-Fan not reveal any additional plot information or reveal any images that might be considered "spoilers" for the episodes.

With that in mind, here's a selection of shots from early on in "Day of Reckoning, Part 1". Click a thumbnail below to view the full-sized image in a new browser window.

"Day of Reckoning" is set to premiere on Kids' WB! on Saturday, May 11, at 10:00 am EST.

X-Fan would like to thank the fine folks at Toon Zone (http://www.toonzone.net/) for assisting with the creation of this article. We couldn't have done it without them! If it's superhero animation news you want, then you simply cannot go past Toon Zone (http://www.toonzone.net/)!

Is it okay if I start hyperventilating now? *wheeze* I don't think I can stand the suspense much longer!

Gak! The one of Pietro and Freddy playing cards won't come up big for me! :( Hmm, so Tabitha's back after all? Oh, well.

11 days ....

[Eric J. Moreels]

Fixed that image, thanks haruka.

And Tabitha's been popping up all throughout the series. No big surprise that she'd be in the season ender.

Just wait til you find out who ELSE is in the season ender! :D

[haruka]

Ah well, I guess I don't mind so much that she came back - some closure was needed there, anyway.

Who else?!?! You already KNOW???!!!!! Okay, now you've done it, you won't have a moment's peace for the next 11 days, you realize that, don't you?

Tell me who it is. :D I won't tell anyone, really I won't.

Tell me.

Tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me!

Please? :)

[spinarakboi]

this show just needs to be an hour long show every week. Is this person who shows up new or has he/she been on it before? Hmm... eek I can't wait, plus we'll probably/hopefuly get to see some more Shadowcat Avalanche development. I alway liked that aspect of the show.

[Eric J. Moreels]

Sorry haruka, no hints. I've been asked specifically by Kids' WB! and Film Roman not to reveal anything that might be considered spoiler in nature about the episodes!

And having seen them, I know why!!!

[haruka]

Le sigh. Okay, keep the secrets, but if I die in the dentist's chair on the 8th and never get to know what happened it's on your head.

:)

[tekken21]

Could that second pic be evolution Maverick?

[TristenMagnus]

Wow... This is great. I love even the pics to tie me over before the ep airs. Thanks, Eric.

That's exactly what I thought. Who knows... dont like the outfit though. I really like 616's armour.

And THANKS X-FAN! Pics look awesome...

Boom Boom? UGH... I hate her.

Happy to see how Xavier seems to be training Jean to use Cerebro... we knows she is not the same whimp from the X-Men MOVIE! WOOOHOOO!!!

[UltimateIceman]

Well now we know who the mystery person from the spacecraft is. This picture is a lot better, easy to tell that it is Sabertooth. Man, I don't think that 11 days could go any slower!!!

The person climbing the ladder is not Sabortooth. Look at the sleaves on the jacket. Sabortooth's cloths doesn't have any but the cloths of the person climbing the ladder does.

It kinda looks to me like Gambit. But who knows.

From the pics I think that :wolvie: , :storm: , and :beast: get taken first. I looks like they are kidnapped from the beginning of the episode.

:idea: Has anyone else noticed that this was happening in the tunnels. Maybe has something to do with the Morlocks.

[tekken21]

I have just used some of my software to inhance the pic of the person climbing the ladder, but I still can't make out who it is. It doesn't have the shape of a female but the best I can tell is that it has long hair. And it is definitly not Sabortooth.

[Nyssane]

The person climbing the ladder looks like either Agatha Harkness or Mastermind, but at least someone old (Note the old witch chin, but I doubt it's Agatha. She's more of a background character to get in a battle with big bad Wolverine). The guy in the suit (the second pic) looks much like Pyro, doesn't anyone else think? Isn't that a flamethrower on his back? Bad choice of costume, though. It's hideous.

Really I don't see how you see anything on his back. All I see is part of his chest and head. Do you have another pic or something?

You may be right though, that would make sense for it to be him. I hope it isn't because that would be a hideous costume for him. I hope pyro looks natural like he does in the movie. And for those who didn't see him in the movie, he is the boy in the class room that makes the fireball for Rogue. And then gets in trouble by Storm.

[Sandoz]

Oh, sweet torture...I want to see the finale!! (though I too am disappointed by Tabby's return). I certainly hope the New Mutants see some battle time...after all, they've had way more training than Nightcrawler or Shadowcat did when they were first thrust in combat situations. I reeeeeaallllly wish I knew who were on Magneto's new team!!! :sigh:

[gambitlebeau]

I hate to break it to ya, but it's pretty obvious that it's Sabertooth going up the ladder...His trench coat doesn;t have sleeves but he has those long gauntlet things the cover his arms. Look at the pic next to it. It's Sabertooth....definitely.

[Joey Meyers]

Just a little observation from the pictures: Is it just me or, in the Boom Boom picture, does it look like Tabitha stole Lance's jeep again?

Actually I think it's Sabretooth... Skin tone is the same, coat is the same, long hair is the same... I mean.. he even has the claws!!!!!

[Joey Meyers]

I thnk this is ok for me to say: For those of you who don't mind being tortured even more, Toonzone now has a small (about 44 seconds) video clip from the finale. I'm not gonna spoil anything, but I will say it looks pretty cool.

[todd]

These coming attractions pics really look great, X-Fan! Thanks for putting them up! I'm really looking forward to that episode (just ten days away, now).

So Tabitha makes off with Lance's jeep again? Poor Lance. Poor, poor Lance. :)

(But at least we know that "Bam-Bam" is still around and will be back for the season finale.)

[wowie]

Wow

From the Toonzone Clip: I wasn't especting Professor X to officially make an alliance with the Brotherhood. That naughty Professor :} . Can't wait.

[Jennifer de Vries]

Where did they hide that clip?? I've searched *all over* but I couldn't find it.

[tekken21]

The clip is no longer there. I found where it was supposed to be and it said that X-Fan has it.

[Jennifer de Vries]

I found that too, but I thought that was just where the screen-shots used to be.

Eric, explain?

[haruka]

I heard on the Cinescape board that Marvel asked Toonzone to remove the clip ....

Yea Toonzone has now posted that below the message that said X-Fan got it. I am really confused about where it really is. I believe though that if X-Fan got it he would have shared, so I believe that Marvel didn't want the spoiler out there.

[CPunkDude]

*drools in anticipation* The X-men and the brotherhood joining forces and the possibility of someone leaving the school. Please let May 11th be here now!

[slowgold]

i cant wait for the finale. i really want to find out whos on magnetos team. i has anyone heard an update about the finale besides the little clip at toonzone that is off? if you have could you post it
