Production
Storm's voice actress in Season 1 and the majority of Season 2 of the series is Iona Morris. Part-way through Season 2, howeveer, Alison Sealy-Smith takes over the role for the rest of the series. An original member of the X-Men, Morph, is loosely based upon a shape-shifting character from early X-Men comics, named Changeling. The character became very popular, to the point that an alternate version of Changeling in the "Age of Apocalypse" comics run was named Morph.
Morph was originally placed in the series simply because the writers wanted to have a character die in the opening story arc, in order to show how serious the show was. Changeling was chosen because of his past ties to the X-Men, as well as his deceased status in the comics. He was practically considered a blank slate, so the writers were able to use him without angering fans. The name was changed from Changeling to Morph, since DC comics had the rights to the name Changeling at the time. Due to the characters unexpected popularity, Morph returned.
During the episode, Beast is captured and imprisoned. There were two principal reasons for why Beast was chosen to be captured in this episode. The first was that in preparation for the first season, Beast had not been included as a core character. Therefore, since he was a "guest" or secondary character, the writers felt he could be off-screen a lot. Another reason was associated with his character - Beast's articulate personally was considered to work beautifully in a court scene. Lewald mentioned in an interview that the character is reasonable and likeable, making it hard for the prosecution to make him out to be a monster. This is in contrast to Wolverine, who would be more likely locked up if he were in Beast's situation, according to Lewald.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“I really know nothing more criminal, more mean, and more ridiculous than lying. It is the production either of malice, cowardice, or vanity; and generally misses of its aim in every one of these views; for lies are always detected, sooner or later.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“By bourgeoisie is meant the class of modern capitalists, owners of the means of social production and employers of wage labor. By proletariat, the class of modern wage laborers who, having no means of production of their own, are reduced to selling their labor power in order to live.”
—Friedrich Engels (1820–1895)
“The myth of unlimited production brings war in its train as inevitably as clouds announce a storm.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
