X-Men ’97 Episode 10 Finale: Did Bastion Die & What Happened to Him?

The X-Men ’97 Episode 10 finale is finally out and fans of the show are curious if Bastion died and if he will return. Even before his existence was revealed to the X-Men, Bastion had been working behind the scenes from the beginning along with Mister Sinister to undermine the mutant team, orchestrating various events that dealt huge blows to their morale, in addition to his main goal of creating a self-realized utopia that saw surviving mutants do the human populace’s bidding.

So what was Bastion’s eventual fate? Did he meet his end and will he return? Here’s everything you ned to know.

Did Bastion die in X-Men ’97 Episode 10?

Bastion seemingly dies after he explodes with Asteroid M. However, his healing could have allowed him to survive.

In X-Men ’97 Episode 10, Bastion rips away Cable’s metal arm and merges with it to upgrade his form into a more powerful version. He then flies toward Asteroid M, intending to bring it down on Earth. However, the X-Men confront him, with Cyclops attempting to reason with Bastion. Cyclops’ attempts are cut short when the U.S. military launches missiles at Asteroid M, resulting in the core reactor exploding, which ends up seemingly killing Bastion. 

Will Bastion return in X-Men ’97 Season 2?

Bastion’s return in X-Men ’97 Season 2 is not confirmed. However, he could potentially return at some point in the future.

The X-Men ’97 (and X-Men: The Animated Series) universe has a history of bringing back characters who were presumed dead. For instance, Morph, who seemingly died after his introduction in X-Men: The Animated Series’ premiere episode was later brought back from the dead in a surprising way. Thus, if this tradition continues, Bastion could also return in the future.
