The Cure is an episode in the animated TV series X-Men Animated Series. It introduced the villain Apocalypse to the series.
In a cabin, Warren Worthington III and a woman sit by a fireplace. The woman wonders why Warren always tries to push her away. Cable, meanwhile, sleeks in the shadows of a different room, until Warren opens the door and enters the room himself. A battle ensues, and Cable is eventually able to blast Warren off the balcony. Warren's wings tear his jacket and he flies back up to the house. The woman, noticing the commotion, enters and is confronted by Cable. He asks where Dr. Adler is, and she replies Scotland. Before he can get anymore information out of her, Warren attacks. Cable manages to use a blinding explosive and escapes, but the woman blindly shoots Warren with Cable's gun, and he flees, leaving the woman in her sorrow.
Meanwhile, in Scotland, Professor X and Moira MacTaggert talk about Dr. Adler as they go to visit him. As Professor X scans Dr. Adler's mind, he gets warped visions and slips unconscious. Later, Professor X wonders if Dr. Adler is a mutant himself, which Moira states might suggest why he wants to create a cure for mutants. Professor X decides to tell the X-Men about the cure. The X-Men, rebuilding the X-Mansion after Juggernaut's destruction, bicker as Wolverine tries to help the others. Gambit and Wolverine get at each other's necks, but are stopped by Rogue and Cyclops. Jubilee comes rushing in, stating that Professor X wants to talk to them.
Professor X explains the cure to the X-Men, and Rogue in particular seems interested, as she longs for the feeling of companionship that Cyclops and Jean Grey have. The other X-Men seem to think that it would be betrayal to take the cure. Later that day, Jean shares her waryness with Cyclops over Rogue. Rogue plans to go to Muir Island, but is interrupted by Gambit. She throws him out, but he catches up with her and flirts some more. He recommends a kiss before she goes, but she flies off.
