Plus, her powers have a much more vibrant, dark undertone, perhaps hinting at something fiery to come for Marvel’s premiere swooner.

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…

The X-Men never die. In the comics, that’s sometimes more literal than metaphorical, more meta text than actual text. But it always means that, for the most part, no matter how long the X-Men wane, they always come back: the same but different, adapted to the latest age of a world that hates and fears them. X-Men: The Animated Series is now different with its own resurrection in X-Men ‘97.Who Should Be The New Wolverine? io9 PicksDebuting today on Disney+, X-Men ‘97 is a literal and spiritual continuation of the beloved…

After much anticipation, X-Men ’97, a direct continuation to X-Men: The Animated Series from the 1990s, hits Disney Plus this week. But it’s not the first time Marvel has dusted off the old series and revived it for a nostalgic new millennium. Marvel Comics itself took a swing with X-Men ’92, published in 2015 and technically a Secret Wars tie-in (but don’t worry about it). For ’92, writers Chad Bowers and Chris Sims and artist Scott Koblish had to figure out how to make a comic book story that felt like a beloved…

If you were a fan of X-Men: The Animated Series, there’s a lot to look forward to with the reboot, X-Men ’97. Is Charles Xavier truly dead? Will Cyclops ever find out that Cable is his son from the future? Will the show introduce any characters we’ve met over the past couple decades? Oddly enough, one lingering question involves Morph, a character most casual comics or MCU fans might not even know. Kevin Sydney, aka Morph, is the original X-Men animated team member that time forgot, a minor character seemingly killed…

For decades, the X-Men have been presented as a metaphor for the Civil Rights Movement, as mutants were seen as different because of their abilities and how they appear due to factors outside their control. Their response to bigotry and hatred is to educate their greatest haters, while the villainous Magneto and his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants originally fought for mutant supremacy and the annihilation of humanity — a mission that angered the already frightened human populace.  When writer Chris Claremont…

It's raining X-Men. Ever since Marvel acquired 21st Century Fox in 2019, the IP is slowly and surely making a grand return to the screens. From Patrick Stewart reviving Charles Xavier for a cameo in Sam Raimi's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) to Hugh Jackman striking back in Shawn Levy's upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine, it's X-Men galore on the big screen. But even the small screen isn't far behind, given the imminent release of X-Men '97, a direct follow-up to X-Men: The Animated Series from the…

From the fastball special to the resurrection powers of the Five on Krakoa, the concept of mutant powers combining in unexpected ways has fascinated X-Men stories for generations. Now, X-Men ‘97 is going back to the ‘90s for a continuation of X-Men: The Animated Series, but it’s bringing with it a modern approach to action and its characters’ powers informed by that long fascination.Who Should Be The New Wolverine? io9 PicksWe’ve already seen some of X-Men ‘97's mutant combos—referred to in the comics as “mutant…

So, why does Cyclops get a bad rap in some fans' eyes? One possible explanation is that he ended up on the wrong side of the contest against one of the Marvel universe's most famous characters — Wolverine. Wolverine and Cyclops have been rivals for various personal, ethical, and situational reasons for roughly as long as they've known each other. Since Wolverine is easily more popular and more of a mysterious wild card, this makes Cyclops the more boring, law-abiding character by default. It doesn't help…
