Bastion remains a threatening X-Men villain whose Prime Sentinels and role in "Second Coming" cemented him as a ruthless, calculating threat to mutantkind. His depiction in X-Men '97 introduced him to a wider audience, though some found his Genosha genocide plan confusing in terms of motivation. The animated series' take reignited discussions about whether he deserves a return to prominence in the comics as a major antagonist.
