History:
(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "One Man's Worth, Part I" - BTS) - The superhuman known as the Wasp grew up in a dystopian world where Charles Xavier had been murdered before forming the X-Men, leading to an all-out war between humanity and mutantkind. Part of the Avengers, the Wasp fought alongside other superhumans to locate and hunt the mutants lead by Magneto.
(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "One Man's Worth - Part I") - During another battle against Magneto's Mutant Resistance, the Avengers' ground transport was crushed by Magneto and forced to the ground. Kicking open the transport's door, Captain America led Wasp and the other superhumans into battle against the mutants. Wasp followed the gigantic Goliath, who managed to seize Storm before she struck him with a bolt of lightning. Before Goliath or Wasp could retaliate, another Resistance member, aided by Rogue, trapped them inside an energy field and hurled them miles away from the battlefield.
Comments: Created by Richard Mueller and AKOM Productions. (see Appearances list for full list of artists)
Earth-95099 was inspired by Earth-295, the Age of Apocalypse, with the exception that Apocalypse didn't take over the world.
The group of human forces of which Scarlet Spider was a part are clearly meant to be the Avengers. However, Eric and Julia Lewald's amazing X-Men The Art and Making of The Animated Series book shows the model sheets of these characters are labeled as the Human Assault Forces, but this is just a label similar to calling Spider-Man an arachnid mutant as the creators of the show tried to put in as many cameo's as possible.
