 * Quotation          = Thanks to you all, we have averted catastrophe. It was not without its price, however. But steel is forged through fire, and like it we have been made stronger. We are prepared for what the future brings. I know this, because I have glimpsed into the mind of Apocalypse. Many challenges still await us. But I have seen some who were our enemies become friends. And with a heavy heart, I saw the dearest of friends, become the most terrible of enemies. I saw my X-Men grow and change and and of course, I saw that some people never change. But one thing was clear that no matter what awaits us, terrible or wondrous... my X-Men will always be there, ready. And of that, I am proud.

Final moments
The series ends with a speech by Charles Xavier, who had caught a glimpse of the future while being controlled by Apocalypse. The following future scenarios were foreseen:
 * Continued anti-mutant sentiment.
 * A reformed Magneto teaching the New Mutants, including a returned Jubilee and Wolfsbane.
 * Jean turning into the Phoenix Force. Had the series continued, the show's next season would have focused on the "Phoenix/Dark Phoenix Saga".
 * The future X-Men team, consisting of Cyclops, Nightcrawler, X-23, Iceman, Beast, Shadowcat, Colossus, Rogue (able to fly and not wearing gloves), and Storm. The * uniforms these future X-Men wear look very much like the dark uniforms seen in the Ultimate X-Men comics.
 * The Brotherhood, including the Scarlet Witch and Pyro working with S.H.I.E.L.D.
 * A fleet of Sentinels led by Nimrod.
 * The last scene shows the X-Men, the New Mutants, Gambit and Colossus (former Acolytes), Boom Boom, Havok, Angel, X-23, and Spyke.
 * Trivia             = * The shield used by Jean at the end of her psychic battle with Professor Xavier is reminiscent of the symbol of the Phoenix Force.
