(Image credit: Disney) The Watcher could be hiding in plain sight inX-Men ‘97, according to Marvel fans. Warning: the following containsmajor spoilers forX-Men ‘97 episode 5! The latest episode of the animated show was its most heartbreaking yet, featuring two shocking deaths: Magneto and Gambit. Obviously, those are two of the show’s biggest characters, making the events of this episode pretty earth-shattering. Some eagle-eyed fans, though, have spotted what looks to be the silhouette of the Watcher in the sky. The mysterious figure can be seen at around the 20:40 timestamp onDisneyPlus, and it certainly looks to us like the Watcher peering over the collar of his cloak.
