X-Men ‘97
Warning ! This clause contains spoiler for X - Men ' 97 .
Summary
X - Men ' 97is fixing the perception of the titular mutants by reversing the change made to their comical book characters in 20th Century Fox ’s springy - action franchise . While theX - Menhave always been popular staples of Marvel Comics , their popularity became noticeably more mainstream with both thebest and worstX - Menmoviesof the 2000s and 2010s . Despite this popularity , theFoxX - Menmovieshad several problems , including fuzzy timelines , inconsistent continuity , and a seeming disregard for the informant material in some ways .
These issue were not prejudicial to every singleX - Menmovie , with the likes ofX2 : decade - Men UnitedandX - Men : day of Future Pastranking among the secure , but slightly warped the perception of how the key characters were supposed to count , feel , and act . This is a prominent ingredient behind the excitement of theX - Menfranchise returning to Marvel Studios , something spearhead byX - Men ' 97episodes 1 and 2 . As a continuation ofX - Men : The Animated Series , X - Men ' 97is successfully revert the changes made to the titular part , thus right the wrongs of the Fox motion picture .
10Rogue’s Powers & Personality
The depiction of Rogue in X-Men ‘97 reverts to the animated series, and thus Marvel Comics.
InX - adult male : The Animated Series , Rogue was shown as a coquettish , outgoing , challenging character with her powers from Marvel Comics . These mogul were siphoned from Carol Danvers , something that could not be done in Fox’sX - Menmovies due to rights issues . While this was not the mistake of the creatives at twentieth Century Fox , the overall delineation of the fictional character by Anna Paquin was a far cry from Rogue inX - Men : The Animated Seriesand the comics of the same era .
In theX - Menmovies , Rogue was much more subdued , calm , and faint-hearted in compare to her quicken counterpart . This , combined with the lack of powers , saw the public perception of the character altered greatly . WithX - Men ' 97 , the version of Rogue fromThe alive Seriesreturnsin all her glory .
9Cyclops’ Leadership Role
Scott Summers gets his long overdue time in the spotlight.
From his premature death inX - Men : The Last Standto the want of leading in the first two films , Cyclops was grossly underutilized in the springy - action enfranchisement .
Undoubtedly the biggest sinfulness of the FoxX - Menmovies was the sidelining of James Marsden ’s Cyclops . In the X - Men comics , Cyclops is often depicted as the secondary leader of the teambehind only Charles / Professor X. However , the Fox flick pushed Hugh Jackman ’s Wolverine to the fore , with Marsden ’s Scott Summers suffering as a effect . From his previous dying inX - human race : The Last Standto the lack of leading in the first two films , Cyclops was grossly underutilized in the live - action franchise .
Almost instantly , ex - Men ' 97has rectified this fault . In the absence seizure of Charles , Cyclops is immediately render as the squad ’s de - facto leader . This is patent in the opening action episode against the Sentinels , as well as Scott ’s worked up spark that sees him worry between head the team and settling down with Jean Grey .
8Cyclops, Jean & Wolverine’s Love Triangle
The frustratingly endless love triangle of live-action is removed in favor of stronger character dynamics.
One of the more annoying aspects of theX - Menlive - activity films was the love triangle between Jean , Scott , and Logan / Wolverine . This shadow a lot of their dynamic with one another , with the love triangle take precedency to add drama to the films . InX - Men ' 97 , there are jot at Logan ’s feelings for Jane , but much of the drama has already transpired inX - man : The Animated Series . As such , X - man ' 97allows the grapheme to simply exist as mate , rather than two men in competition for a girl .
7Wolverine Is Not A Central Character
Logan is thankfully one part of a whole, rather than the central pillar of the X-Men.
As alluded to when exploring Cyclops ' leadership character , Wolverine adopt more of a backseat inX - Men ' 97 . While still an authoritative quality , he is no more significant than the likes of Jubilee , Gambit , Rogue , or even Cyclops . go - military personnel ' 97does a much unspoilt job of allow the titular team to experience like exactly that , a squad rather than a group of side characters surrounding the more vital Wolverine . While Hugh Jackman ’s Wolverine was always a highlight of the Fox film , he was unnecessarily made to be more of a character than the other phallus , somethingX - man ' 97gratefully avoids .
6Jubilee Is Utilized Much Better
A character vastly misused in live-action is better served in X-Men ‘97.
Despite Jubilee ’s grandness toX - Men : The Animated Series , she was massively mishandled in the bouncy - action films . Jubilee was concentrate to cameo appearance in the originalX - Mentrilogy , before being consider but then removed fromX - Men : solar day of Future Past . Many recall Jubilee would get her dues inX - human beings : Apocalypse , play by Lana Condor . However , in what is arguably even more of a disservice to the character , Jubilee ’s big role in the film was cut down in the edit , with the theatrical gash of the movie scarce including her at all .
Conversely , ten - manpower ' 97continues on from whereX - Men : The Animated Seriesleft off . Jubilee is a central piece of the cristal - Men , even having her own subplotinvolving the new mutant Sunspot . This rectifies the underutilization of her in every single FoxX - Menfilm , withX - Men ' 97hopefully go forward to give her the table service she deserve .
5Magneto’s More Benevolent Side
The former leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants is taking a turn for the better.
Concerning Magneto , it is worth noting that he was often one of the better parts of every single Fox motion-picture show that boast the character . Be it Ian McKellan ’s version or Michael Fassbender ’s , Magneto was always a standout character with complex motivations , a sympathetic backstory , and a mint of badass moments . However , theX - Menmovies rarely showed Magneto as fully unspoiled , outside ofX - Men : First Class ' first half .
InX - Men ' 97episodes 1 and 2 , Magneto is shown to be continuing Charles ' dreaming of bettering human - mutant relations . While it could be the grammatical case that this does not last , Magneto is being portrayed as much more inherently good than any of theX - Menlive - activeness movies . This take a leak his fibre infinitely more compelling , peculiarly after what he has been through inX - man : The Animated Series .
4Storm’s Omega-Level Powers
Storm’s powers have been shown to their true capabilities.
As before long as Storm was labeled an Omega - level mutant inX - Men ' 97episode 1 , it became clear that the show would be showing her office level in a way the Fox motion-picture show never did . Halle Berry as Storm was a good part of theX - Menfilms , though she was often overshadowed by the likes of Wolverine , Jean Grey , Charles , and Magneto . InX - Men ' 97 , it is shown time and again how sinewy Storm is , and thatwhen it come to mutant ability , Ororo Munroe ’s are some of the more brawny in world .
Storm will hopefully cover to be shown as the most powerful mutation in live - action at law MCU film .
XTC - Men ' 97 installment 2 see one of Marvel ’s most powerful mutants get their abilities removed , mirror a bittersweet chain of issue from the comedian .

3Gambit’s Involvement As An X-Man
Gambit’s long history of live-action failures are rectified in X-Men ‘97.
Tatum was say to take over the character in a solo film , though it was stuck in exploitation hell until 2019 when Disney acquired 20th Century Fox .
One of the more infamous detail about the 20th Century FoxX - Menmovies was the lack of Gambit , alike to Jubilee . However , even more so than Jubilee , Gambit ’s absence was felt due to the years of rumors that Channing Tatum would appear in the enfranchisement as the character . Taylor Kitsch appeared as Gambit inX - Men Origins : Wolverine , but the film was critically panned . From 2014 onwards , Tatum was aver to take over the fiber in a solo flick , though it was stuck in development inferno until 2019 when Disney acquired 20th Century Fox .
Due to this lengthy , public deficiency of Gambit , his appearance inX - Men ' 97feels like a fix in and of itself . That is not to observe his compelling type discharge involving his relationship with Rogue , or his essential combat prowess in the show ’s first episode . All of this construct Gambit feel like a breath of fresh melodic line , if only for his lack of appearances in bouncy - action .

2Cable’s Origins Are Explored
Deadpool 2 failed to explore Cable’s proper origins like X-Men ‘97.
Josh Brolin work Cable well inDeadpool 2 , though the film did not dig into his Marvel Comics backstory . This was a letdown for some , given that Cable ’s descent are tied directly to two major 10 - Men . InX - gentleman ' 97episode 2 , Cable ’s parentage were show when Scott and Jean Grey ’s baby , Nathan Charles Summers , was born . This lines up with the laughable books , provingX - Men ' 97to fix the absence of Cable ’s history fromDeadpool 2 .
ecstasy - Men ' 97 ’s two - installment premiere show the birth of Jean Grey ’s child , but it has still leave alone one lingering interrogative sentence : who is this edition of the child ?
1Jean’s Clone Is In X-Men ’97
Cable’s mother may prove to be different than first thought.
In Marvel Comics , Cable ’s female parent is actually Madelyne Pryor , a clone of Jean Grey . X - Men ' 97episode 2 ’s ending typeset up Madelyne Pryor , solicit the query of whether it was her or the veridical Jane who bear Cable . This stir many , mainly due to Madelyne Pryor ’s absence seizure from the bouncy - actionX - Menfilms . Jane , like Scott and many others , was underutilized in Fox’sX - Menmovies , think of Madelyne was not highlighted at all . This was evidently fixed inX - Isle of Man ' 97 , with the show promising to in good order explore the complex plot line of Madelyne Pryor and Jean Grey .
