Okay.... I was thinking about my favorite X-Men episodes/graphic novels earlier today. And I realized how much the Ultimate X-Men story-arc "Cry Wolf" has in common with the X-Men: Evolution episode "Cajun Spice". So I thought I'd give a breakdown. This is mostly for my personal reference. But you're totally welcome to tell me I'm insane. I think whoever wrote "Cry Wolf" had seen "Cajun Spice"; as far as I can tell, Cajun Spice came out first.
