Part one of the “X-Men ‘97” season finale, “Tolerance is Extinction,” reveals that Bastion’s Operation: Zero Tolerance has a much grander scope than previously thought.
During the episode, Bastion holds a video conference with his collaborators. One of the attendees is Doctor Victor Von Doom, ruler of Latveria, archnemesis of the Fantastic Four.
Another A-list Marvel Comics villain that was present is Baron Zemo, the go-to leader of the Masters of Evil, Nazi, and Avengers nemesis sworn to kill Captain America.
A woman’s silhouette also speaks during the meeting. There’s been speculation this might be Madame Hydra, leader of the eponymous terrorist group, though this isn’t confirmed.
Although not seen during the video conference, Reverend William Stryker, Silver Samurai, and Omega Red also make cameo appearances in the episode.
Villains aren’t the only ones to appear during the episode. Spider-Man is seen swinging in New York and a magazine in Bastion’s house features a cover labeled “Stark Expo.”
