Exclusive X-Men ’97 Preview Reveals The Team’s One Weakness (And It Could Ruin Them)
In Looper’s exclusive preview of “X-Men ’97” #1, the in-continuity prelude to the new Disney+ series, Storm, Jubilee, Wolverine, Bishop, and Cyclops are thrown into battle against Magneto as he attacks Times Square in an act of mutant supremacy. The supervillain claims humanity must pay for its actions against mutants and declares that he will rule the future kingdom created from the rubble of humans. Unfortunately, the X-Men’s efforts to stop the Master of Magnetism are hindered by a lack of cohesiveness without Charles Xavier leading them. Cyclops pleads for the team to stick to their plan, but when Wolverine goes rogue and attempts to fight Magneto, it forces Storm to focus on saving her teammate, throwing the entire situation into disarray.
Thankfully, Magneto’s attack isn’t real; it’s all a simulation in the X-Men’s hi-tech training facility, the Danger Room. Still, when the fight ends, Wolverine and Cyclops exchange words about leadership and their different approaches to combat, forcing to Storm intervene and cool down the hot-headed rivals. Bishop and Jubilee watch the squabble, as the former wonders if the X-Men act like this all the time — a clear sign the group is weaker than ever from a leadership perspective, ripe for a schism that could destroy them. Making matters worse, the mutant pop star known as Dazzler is kidnapped ahead of a memorial concert for Xavier, and while Beast reveals that he knows where she might have been taken.
