"Guardian Angel," Wolverine and the X-Men

The Mutant Ages

This is a rare episode that comes with a content warning for parental abuse and self-harm. It's also an episode of Wolverine and the X-Men that made Maddy and Ryan very sad ... but also very impressed by the storytelling on display here. Warren has finally become proud of his mutant self and wants to use his powers to help other mutants (and/or queer people). Unfortunately, his dad doesn't approve of that, and sets up his son to get arrested and beaten by the MRD; while Warren is in the hospital and unconscious, his father convinces the doctor to forcibly remove Warren's wings, leading to Warren's mental breakdown and decision to turn to Mr. Sinister for help. This may be the best episode of Wolverine and the X-Men yet, but it's a very hard watch.
