A memorable scene from the first season of X-Men: Evolution, in the 2000 episode “Spyke-cam,” featured Rogue and Kitty Pryde dancing. Interestingly, the animators created the dance moves by tracing over footage of Sarah Michelle Gellar and Eliza Dushku dancing together in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Bad Girls.” This Buffy episode is known for introducing a major conflict when the character Faith turns against Buffy, leading to a famous showdown between the two.
The connections between the X-Men and Buffy the Vampire Slayer run deep. Joss Whedon, the creator of Buffy, has said Kitty Pryde was a direct inspiration for the character. Interestingly, the X-Men: Evolution version of Kitty Pryde was then inspired by Buffy, completing a circular connection. Beyond character inspiration, Buffy’s last name, Summers, was a tribute to the X-Men leader Cyclops, whose name is Scott Summers. During his run writing Astonishing X-Men, Whedon almost included a joke referencing a relative of Scott Summers who believed she was fighting vampires – a nod to the Buffy episode “Normal Again,” where Buffy questioned if her life as a slayer was real. While he ultimately didn’t include the joke, the interplay between these two universes has been present from the beginning.
