Love in Vain - S4-E14

Trivia: The reptile-like aliens in this episode are based on the Brood, an insect-like alien species from the comics. Apparently the Fox censors found the Brood from the comics to be too scary for young children, so their appearance was changed and their name was changed to the Colony. Although a Brood alien can be seen in the season 2 episode "Mojovision" and a Brood queen can be seen in the season 3 episode "Cold Comfort."

Beyond Good and Evil: Part 4 - S4-E11

Trivia: At the end of the episode, Archangel tells Psylocke that although he doesn't know why, he was concerned for her safety when she was held captive by Apocalypse. This is a nod to the two having been a romantic item in the comics at one point. (00:19:05)

Proteus: Part 1 - S4-E4

One Man's Worth: Part 1 - S4-E1

Trivia: This two-part episode is loosely based on the "Age of Apocalypse" storyline that ran in the comics at roughly the same time. Some of the characters in the episode are even wearing the same costumes they wore in the comics.

Courage - S4-E3

Trivia: This episode marks the return of the Sentinels. Before Xavier expresses his wonder as to who brought the Sentinels back, Beast relates Morph's predicament to the story of Ahab. In the comics, a character named Ahab was the leader of the Sentinels in an alternate future.

Red Dawn - S2-E4

Question: Does anyone know what the Russian writing says on the wall behind Omega Red when he is standing at the podium and talking about the return of the Soviet Union? (00:15:08)

Phaneron

Chosen answer: It says MPO "First Exemplary Printing House" which is a real printing company in Russia founded by Ivan Dmitrievich Sytin in 1889. There seems to be something about "named after..." as well.
