During the three-part finale, heroes including Daredevil, Doctor Strange, and Spider-Man appeared on the screens, showing their respective responses to the looming apocalypse initiated by the character Bastion. The actions of these heroes provided a broader view of Marvel’s response to the global crisis, enriching the narrative to a whole new level.
Game-Changing Cameo in X-Men ’97
Significantly, the first glimpse of Spider-Man was an impactful moment in the first part of the finale, titled ‘Tolerance is Extinction’. Fans noted the appearance of the popular Marvel hero as he witnessed Magneto’s counter-measure to Bastion’s plan. However, the most impactful moment of the finale was the second appearance of Spider-Man, or rather, Peter Parker.
This Peter Parker cameo served as a resolution to a long-standing cliffhanger from the 90s Spider-Man animated series.

Fans around the world praised DeMayo’s gesture for bringing closure to the Spider-Man series, proving that providing meaningful content while maintaining the essence of the story is equally significant.
Despite the tension surrounding the impending apocalypse, the reunion of Peter and MJ gave fans a heartwarming moment, spread positivity, and enhanced their connection with the show.
