Pryde of the X-Men (Pilot)

The Show:
X-Men: Pryde of the X-Men (commonly known as Pryde of the X-Men) is an animated television pilot originally broadcast in 1989 on the Marvel Action Universe television block, featuring Marvel Comics’ mutant superheroes the X-Men.

Background:
The title is a pun on the name of Kitty Pryde, the youngest X-Man. The series for which this episode was intended to launch never materialized.
The X-Men’s archenemy Magneto is being transported by a military convoy; Magneto is unable to use his powers, trapped in a force field. That is, until the White Queen appears. A member of his "Brotherhood of Terrorist Mutants", she scatters the escort and dismantles the field restricting Magneto, allowing him to use his magnetic powers to tear apart his portable prison.
Elsewhere, Kitty Pryde arrives at Professor Xavier's to be trained to use her power of phasing, passing through solid matter. As she arrives, Xavier introduces her to the other X-Men.
Magneto sends Pyro and Blob to retrieve the tracking coordinates for the Scorpio comet. This diverts the X-Men while Magneto and Juggernaut invade the X-Mansion, Juggernaut operating similar to a wrecking ball. The Professor learns from Magneto’s thoughts that they have come for the "mutant power circuit" of Cerebro (the mutant-tracking computer). He gives it to Kitty and orders her to flee but Magneto captures it.
The X-Men return from their confrontation with Blob and Pyro to find the mansion in ruins and the Professor and Kitty unconscious. Xavier once again reads Magneto’s thoughts, this time learning the full details of his plan. Magneto plans to redirect the passing Scorpio comet onto a collision course with Earth. This would send up a cloud of dust and debris, blocking out the Sun for years, plunging the planet into the Ice Age. The X-Men must leave at once for Magneto’s orbiting sanctuary Asteroid M, but he instructs Kitty to stay as the mission is far too dangerous. Kitty however, wanting to help, phases aboard the Blackbird and hides.
Upon reaching the asteroid, each X-Man quickly becomes enganged on the way to Magneto. Only Nightcrawler finally confronts a gloating Magneto as the Scorpio comet is approaching Earth. As Magneto is about to blast Nightcrawler, Kitty emerges from the floor, causing Magneto to accidentally blast the wiring of his device. Nightcrawler teleports up and uses his body as a conduct, while Kitty knocks Magneto onto the platform, using his power to redirect the comet's course towards Asteroid M. Nightcrawler must risk sacrificing himself to complete the machine's circuit, or the comet changes course back to Earth. The X-Men watch from the Blackbird for Nightcrawler to teleport at the last minute. The comet and asteroid collide. Nightcrawler rematerialized out in space. The team only had seconds to fire the grappling beams, or he'd burn up entering the atmosphere. They miss and Nightcrawler burns up. The X-Men mourn their fallen teammate and Kitty cries over how badly she had treated him earlier. A familiar voice from the rear of the jet confirms that Nightcrawler had survived after all. Wolverine insists that Kitty isn’t a member of the X-Men, at least "not yet."
