"Pryde of the X-Men" was intended to be the test pilot for an X-Men animated show.

According to story editor Rick Hoberg, he gave Wolverine an Australian accent due to the Australian fad going on at the time, and it was planned for Logan to be Australian in the comics. However, Logan instead remained a Canadian.

Funding for this pilot came from the budget for RoboCop (1988). Instead of making a 13th episode of RoboCop, Marvel Productions decided to use their funding to have Toei Animation produce the animation for this pilot instead.

This is the only time that Dazzler has been a member of the X-Men in an animated adaptation.

Much to the disapproval of many fans of the comic, Wolverine is portrayed with an Australian accent. This is a continuation of how he was portrayed in the L'uomo ragno e i suoi fantastici amici (1981) episode A Fire-Star Is Born (1982). Ironically, the role would be played years later by Australian actor Hugh Jackman to great acclaim.
