Trivia: According to the book "Previously on X-Men: The Making of an Animated Series," this episode was originally conceived as an episode called "Bring Me Charles Xavier" (a reference to the film Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia), and would have been the 47th episode of the series overall. In addition to the return of Omega Red, it also would have seen the returns of Colossus and his little sister Ilyana, as well as Darkstar. The episode was written by showrunner Eric Lewald, and after being told numerous times by his colleagues that the script just didn't work, he reworked it into what became this episode. An image for the cast list of the unproduced episode is visible in the book "X-Men: The Art and Making of the Animated Series."

Plot hole: In the season one episode The Cure, when Pyro and Avalanche are in the bar on Muir Island waiting for Mystique to arrive, Avalanche says "This friend of yours better show up soon or I'm going back to jail, just for something to do!" Rogue then comes in and Pyro suggests to Avalanche that Rogue could be Mystique, to which Avalanche responds "What do you mean it could be? Don't you know what she looks like?", leading Pyro to tell Avalanche that Mystique is a shape-shifter. This dialogue implies that Avalanche has no idea who Mystique is, which is further substantiated when Pyro and Avalanche kidnap Mystique later in the episode while she is in the guise of Dr. Adler, and Avalanche didn't recognize Mystique when she revealed her true form. However in this episode it is shown that Pyro and Avalanche were both previously members of Mystique's Brotherhood of Mutants, so Avalanche should already know who Mystique is without Pyro having to tell him. Rogue was also a member of that group yet neither Pyro nor Avalanche recognize her.

Answer: It appears a number of factors led to its demise. It was originally intended to air for 65 episodes, but its popularity extended that. However, there were continual production quality problems, issues regarding whether the content was suitable enough for children, as well as financial considerations that finally led to it being ended.
