"Beyond Good and Evil - The Lazarus Chamber" is the Fourteenth episode of the fourth season of X-Men: The Animated Series. It was directed by Larry Houston, written by Michael Edens, and originally aired on November 18, 1995. The plot of the episode is that in the year 3000, Cable manages to break into a facility and steal a time machine while his son Tyler Summer, who is waiting outside, is attacked by robots. Cable manages to fly backwards through time, unknowingly being watched by Apocalypse, who is in the Axis of Time. Apocalypse changes Cable's time travel so that he lands in the present day. Cable encounters the X-Men who tell him about the kidnapped group of psychics. Beast and Shard determine how Bishop became lost in the time stream; and Wolverine interrogates Sabretooth. Cable tells the X-Men that Apocalypse has to visit his Lazarus Chamber once every hundred years so that he can retain his immortality. Wolverine, dragging Sabretooth behind him, says that all the evil mutants have joined with Apocalypse. Professor X looks into Sabretooth's mind, but can only see clocks and images that reference time.
The X-Men decide to find the Lazarus Chamber, and so using Cable's time machine they travel back to ancient Egypt. They find the great pyramid but encounter the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse; Death, War, Pestilence, an Famine. Cyclops, Storm, Gambit, and Archangel battle the Horsemen while Professor X, Beast, Wolverine, and Cable venture into the pyramid to find the Lazarus Chamber. However, Mystic disguised as Apocalypse and the real Apocalypse are there waiting for them; and Apocalypse kidnaps Professor X.
