DEBUT: Arcade. In the comics, he was an assassin for hire who used giant games to kill his targets (episode 2.04 "Fun and Games").

Goofs:

Errors in geography: When Jean and Kurt leave the mansion, McCoy and Xavier find them at the airport buying tickets to New York City; Bayville is less than an hour by car from the city, around two in bad traffic. There are no flights from anywhere near Bayville to New York City.

Quotes:

Nightcrawler:[about Wolverine] He locked us out!
Kitty Pryde:No, he shut himself in so we'd be safe!
Nightcrawler:There's a crazy person flying the plane! You call that safe? We have to get out of here!
Kitty Pryde:Can you transport us to the ground?
Nightcrawler:Yeah, right. Picture this: bumpety, bumpety, bumpety, bumpety, SPLAT!

Stands well on it's on

Sure, it can not compare to the Fox animated series or the hit movie, but Evolution is pretty good anyway. It has an interesting new look for the X-Men. This show brings back the more popular characters and adds some that weren't a major part of the last show. And why should you expect the same character development? This is a NEW show with NEW people behind the scenes. This is a good show, give it a chance.
