Production
All the actors and actresses who played the X-Men in these two episodes also played these roles in the X-Men animated series as the same time Spider-Man was running. All of the X-Men cast members lived in Canada, while Spider-Man has its audio recorded in Los Angeles, USA. Between scheduling and other issues, thus making this and the next episode two of the most expensive of the series. These two episodes' are adapted from an early 1994 comic mini-series entitled "Spider-Man: The Mutant Agenda", which, in turn, was a "crossover" with the Spider-Man newspaper comic strip. Both the comic and the strip presented the same story, with different writers and artists. Factoring in these episodes, it turns the endeavor into a crossover between three different mediums within the space of two years!
