Character mistake: When Cyclops is expressing his opposition to sending his infant son into the future to cure his virus, he states he won't be like his own father and abandon his son. The problem is Cyclops' father didn't abandon him, but rather saved his life. Their family airplane was being attacked, and they were about to be abducted by the Shi'ar. Cyclops' father strapped a parachute to him and got him out of the plane before it crashed. Cyclops learned and made peace with all of this in the original series episode "Orphan's End." (00:25:04)

Trivia: Jennifer Hale is taking over the role of Jean Grey from Catherine Disher. Hale previously voiced Jean Grey in Wolverine and the X-Men. She also previously voiced Felicia Hardy/Black Cat and Julia Carpenter/Spider Woman in the 90's Spider-Man and Iron Man animated series, respectively, which take place in the same continuity as this show.
Question: Why did writers decide to kill Gambit off?
Answer: The post-credits scene from season 1 implies that Apocalypse is going to bring him back to life as his Horseman of Death, which Gambit was at one point in the comics. I also read that former showrunner Beau DeMayo had planned for Gambit to be the central character of season 3, which would have been an adaptation of the Age of Apocalypse storyline from the comics, which seems to imply Gambit will eventually be freed from Apocalypse's control. Whether that is what ends up happening remains to be seen, since DeMayo was fired by Marvel before season 1 premiered.
