(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "Repo Man" (fb) - BTS) - Wolverine left Alpha Flight for unknown reasons, moving to the United States where he joined the X-Men.

(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "Repo Man" (fb) - BTS) - The years following Wolverine's defection, Department H and General Chasen repeatedly tried to duplicate the process that gave Wolverine his adamantium skeleton. With the results less than encouraging, Chasen planned to bring Wolverine "home" to examine the mutant. Chasen contacted Alpha Flight, falsely promising to get Wolverine back so he could work with Alpha Flight again. To do so Heather Hudson asked Wolverine to come and meet her in the Canadian wilderness.

(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "Repo Man") - Shaman and the full force of Alpha Flight witnessed Wolverine's arrival and confronted him. Believing he'd fallen into a trap Wolverine attacked his former teammates who quickly retaliated. During the battle that followed, Shaman urged Wolverine to stand down after which he grabbed a staff from his magic pouch, using it to create green vines to trap Wolverine with. Wolverine easily freed himself and threw the vines in Shaman's face. Not long after the siblings Aurora and Northstar managed to slow Wolverine down long enough for Puck and Sasquatch to strike and take him out. Alpha Flight then brought Wolverine to Department H where General Chasen and Heather Hudson waited to examine the mutant while the team was forced to wait outside. Shaman wasn't seen during the consequent battle when Alpha Flight learned Chasen wished to remove Wolverine's adamantium. Appalled, Alpha Flight bursted into the lab and helped Wolverine escape Department H.

(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "The Phoenix Saga - Part V: Child of Light") - When Earth suffered a multitude of environmental disasters, Shaman and Alpha Flight did their best to help the people of Earth. They were seen saving people near ruins in Athens, Greece during a powerful storm. Shaman, like other heroes of Earth was unaware the disasters were the result of the Shi'ar emperor D'Ken using the M'Kraan Crystal.

It's a bit strange Shaman wasn't seen during the final battle in "Repo Man", perhaps he was still recovering from the earlier fight.

Shaman was voiced by Don Francks.

When, in 2015's Secret Wars, the Multiverse was destroyed following the incursions of planets it appeared as if Reality-92131 was drafted onto Battleworld as the Westchester domain. However, this has since been debunked. As such the reality seen in the two volumes of X-Men '92 (2015 and 2016-2017) now have their own reality-designation of Earth-15730. The X-Men '92: House of XCII (2022) series was inspired by both the animated series and Hickman's House of X run but is its own separate reality. The limited series X-Men '97 (2024), however, is Reality-92131 and bridges the gap between the original X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon and the new X-Men '97: The Animated Series cartoon.
