The agreement also provides Disney with the opportunity to reunite the X-MEN with the Marvel family under one roof and create richer, more complex worlds of inter-related characters and stories that audiences have shown they love. It only makes sense for Marvel to be supervised by one entity. There shouldn't be two Marvels.
His son Larry would share a rather similar fate.
Believing mutants to be responcible for his father's death, he build the Mark IIs (now the defacto design of the Sentinels in general, including the purple color scheme) and ordered them to inprison all mutants. However Larry himself was a mutant aswell. Since he suffered from his precognitive visions, Bolivar made him a high tech medallion that supressed both his powers and memories, making him unaware of his true nature, until in a fit of rage ordering the Sentinels to kill all mutants.
Like his father, Larry would eventualy recognize the errors of his way and die while trying to stop the Mark IIs.
A weak willed, easily manipulated, simpleton. Certainly not the best person to unintentionaly (by genetic relation) have the power to arm a walking WMD.
This episode was a great episode
BUT, neither storyline felt as interesting to me as seeing the X-Men deal with what just happened. This episode isn’t a filler episode at all, but its placement in the season (like episode 4) makes it feel like a filler episode
Forgot to mention, but every complaint I had about the episode gets outweighed by seeing Storm in her classic look, regardless of if her magical-girl-style transformation makes a lick of sense.
EDIT: To clarify, I LIKED her transformation.

Storm has been able to change her costume with her powers since the first episode of the original TAS, and in the comics.
Doesn’t make sense? If you’re comparing to real life logic, then neither does her flying and other stuff.
The goofy prattling about Storm's magic girl transformation making no sense is amusing considering no one blinked when Maddie gave herself a dominatrix makeover and summoned a hellfire dimension based on... what kind of logic exactly?
Maybe we're just used unaffected after her Phoenix/Dark Phoenix costume changes in the OG series. We just expect her powers to include telekinesis, telepathy, and costume manipulation. In fact, I feel like in the Dark Phoenix episodes, Jean canonically used her powers to transform her costume into her Marvel Girl costume.
agreed to both of these points. people seem to be more outraged that ororo used magic while excusing forge doing the same, even though both possessing magical traits aligns to 616.
Nonetheless, I just also wanted to highlight that the themes around adversary were all based in magic. we saw this even with how forge was able to banish adversary with his mother's spell. and if you pay attention ororo was able to "unwarp" the mountain adversary had collapsed in on her before she fully transformed. why folks do not see, without having to say the obvious out loud, there is more to Ororo than just creating weather will always baffle me to a degree, especially the folks who are familiar with 616.
ALL HAIL THE HADARI YAO, THE OMEGA'S OMEGA, BEYOND OMEGA, THE VOICE OF SOL!!!! NOW AGAIN THE ONE TRUE AND ONLY GODDESS OF THE X-MEN AS CLAREMONT INTENDED!!!!!
