It’s only been a day since the latest episode of X-Men ’97 was released and the internet is still buzzing about it. I’ll refrain from any major explosive spoilers for those few who have yet to see it. As seen in a preview, some of the X-Men take a trip to the mutant nation of Genosha which has become part of the United Nations. There they encounter the council of Genosha which includes he council includes Banshee, Moira MacTaggert, Callisto, as well as Hellfire Club members Emma Frost and Sebastian Shaw.
In the original X-Men: The Animated Series, the character of Sebastian Shaw appeared the show’s third season voiced by David Bryant. While some of the original voice actors have been able to reprise their roles or return to voice other characters, some have not due to various reasons. Such is the case with Shaw who according to the episode’s end credits is voiced by Todd Haberkorn who also took over the role of Henry Peter Gyrich in the first episode of X-Men ’97.

As to the miscredit in the voice cast, as the saying goes pobody’s nerfect. Honest mistakes happen from time to time. Assuming Travis Willingham is indeed the voice of Sebastian Shaw, hopefully the end credits will be corrected on Disney+ soon enough.
