Beau DeMayo had a very logical reason for Peter Parker and MJ’s reunion in X-Men ’97!
The three-part finale of X-Men ’97 featured many surprise cameos including heroes outside of the X-Men. The show presented how other Marvel heroes around the world were responding to the impending apocalypse carried out by Bastion while the X-Men try to prevent it from happening.
Quick glimpses of Daredevil, Doctor Strange, and Spider-Man are seen in the three-part finale, with the latter appearing twice. The Peter Parker cameo in the last episode was a game changer as it resolved a long-standing cliffhanger from the 90s animated Spider-Man show about MJ’s fate. X-Men ’97 creator Beau DeMayo wanted to provide a happy resolution with the scene.
Beau DeMayo Wanted to Provide Closure To an Infamous Spider-Man Cliffhanger with X-Men ’97

The final episodes of Spider-Man: The Animated Series showed Peter Parker/ Spider-Man hopping through the multiverse with the help of Madame Web to search for the real MJ after it was revealed that the MJ he married was a clone (via Polygon). The series infamously ended abruptly with a cliffhanger and fans never got to know the fate of MJ and whether they reunite happily or not.
Fans got a glimpse of Spider-Man in the first part of Tolerance is Extinction in X-Men ’97 as he witnesses Magneto’s electromagnetic pulse that he unleashes to stop Bastion. The character appears yet again in the finale of X-Men ’97 but as Peter Parker, and standing right next to him is none other than MJ and Flash Thompson.
The director of X-Men ’97 Jake Castorena told Comicbook.com that this was Beau DeMayo‘s way of giving a happy closure to the frustrating cliffhanger of Spider-Man: The Animated Series by reuniting the two lovebirds (claiming its 99.9% the real MJ). DeMayo chimed in and confirmed that he was behind the game-changing moment that had fans going gaga over the internet.
Fans were ecstatic when they saw the scene and the fact that Peter got to reunite with the real MJ feels earned and wholesome. DeMayo knows what the audiences want and he delivered big time with the cameos without sacrificing the intensity and stakes of the story at hand.
