His story is picked up by the televised news, ''Daily Globe'', and ''The Daily Bugle''. This catches the attention of the X-Men. Charles realizes this is a mutant but cannot find him since Cerebro is being worked on. Rogue volunteers to go with Scott into the city to investigate. The two visit those the angel has saved and listen to their stories, but cannot find him. At a cafe, the two decide to have fun while they're away. Scott then confesses that after his family's plane crash and finding his {{C|Havok|xme|brother}} he believes there may be an angel watching over him and his family. |

+ | The show as a hit in the ratings. The episode {{eps|Day of the Chameleon}} won an Annie Award for Best Individual Achievement for Writing in the Field of Animation. The series won a NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Animated/Live Action/Dramatic Youth or Children's Series/Special. The show had a major impact on the comics and subsequent adaptations, most notably with the [[Venom Symbiote]]. Before, the symbiote just gave Spider-Man unlimited [[Web Fluid|webbing]]. Afterwards the comics, films, and other series included the aspect that the symbiote increased his aggressive side. In fact, the film ''Spider-Man 3'' included a recreated shot from {{eps|The Alien Costume, Part One}}. Other aspects include making [[Green Goblin]] an alternate personality to [[Norman Osborn]] who actually communicates with and demeans his other self. Additionally, the series finale featured a story of Spider-Man traveling to an alternate universe to team up with several other [[Spider-Men]] to stop an evil version of [[Spider-Carnage|himself]]. A similar story was used in the video game ''Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions'', the comic story ''Spider-Verse'', and Oscar-winning film {{smitsv}}. |

− | Later, the mysterious figure, revealed to be the still alive {{C|Magneto|xme|Erik Lehnsherr}}, causes a pile-up on the Brooklyn Bridge that nearly sends a family over the edge into the East River. Warren, now wearing a superhero costume, swoops in and saves the three. Erik then distracts "Angel" with a cable so he accidentally knocks the family's young daughter over the side. Angel dives after her and saves her but she is unconscious. Erik turns the crowd against Angel who then force him to flee. Scott and Rogue hear about this and go to the hospital to talk to the parents of the girl. Warren visits feeling guilty, but one of his feathers is spotted by Rogue while sneaking out and he flees. |

− | Angel watches over the girl's parents at St. Patrick's Cathedral when he is visited by Magneto. The master of magnetism explains that he too has powers, praises Warren's ability to fly, and warns about how public opinion will turn against them just like it did on the bridge. Magneto wants him to join his {{C|Acolytes|xme|forces}}. When Angel turns him down Magneto tries to capture him. Cyclops and Rogue arrive and help free Angel. During the battle, Rogue absorbs some of Magneto's powers but he flees. She chases after him and they fly through the city. Magneto wins after he slams one of the Chrysler Building's famous eagle statues into the Stark Enterprises' tower knocking her out. Angel saves her from falling to her death and she claims he really is an angel. |

− | At the hospital, Scott extends an invitation to Warren to join the X-Men, but he turns them down. Scott advises that if he doesn't join he should stay low to avoid Magneto's attention. They then overhear that the little girl will be fine. Elsewhere, the Grey family pick out their Christmas tree, the Pryde family light their menorah, Kurt returns to his foster family, {{C|Storm|xme|Ororo}} overwhelms {{C|Spyke|xme|Evan}} and his father in a snowball fight, Logan plays pool in a bar by himself, and Charles and Hank enjoy the quiet of the empty mansion. |
