Trivia: Despite its guitar-driven sound, the theme song for this show was actually written entirely on a keyboard using MIDI technology. Composer Ron Wasserman attributed this to having hardly any gear to work with, which only consisted of a nice mixer board that had EQ in it, and one compressor. He even admitted to pouring a Coke into the first console so that they would buy him a new one.

Trivia: George Buza, who voiced Beast, never watched any episodes of this show until 2019, more than 20 years after the show ended. He finally decided to watch them at the insistence of Cal Dodd, who voiced Wolverine, because Buza was scheduled to be a guest at his first comic con, and decided he needed to have knowledge of the show, knowing that fans at conventions would be asking him questions about it.

Trivia: Chris Potter, who voiced Gambit, has said he always wanted to play Gambit in the films, stating that he looked like Gambit when he was younger. He was actually brought in to audition for the role of Cyclops for the first X-Men film, but thought to himself before the audition that he didn't want to play Cyclops and have to wear those "bad sunglasses."

Chosen answer: It says MPO "First Exemplary Printing House" which is a real printing company in Russia founded by Ivan Dmitrievich Sytin in 1889. There seems to be something about "named after..." as well.
