X-Men '97: 5 Characters We Want To See In The New Cartoon

gamerant.com:

The original 1992-1997 X-Men animated series still remains one of the most famous superhero cartoons ever made, and it’s not hard to see why. Not only did it expand the possibilities of what superhero cartoons are capable of by directly adapting classic comic storylines like “Days of Future Past” and “The Dark Phoenix Saga,” it also introduced a whole generation of fans to iconic characters like Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, Rogue, and Magneto.

However, not all classic X-Men characters were lucky enough to appear in the original series. It was very much a product of his time, so characters who had fallen out of fashion by the 90s were unlikely to make an appearance. However, the upcoming Disney Plus sequel series, X-Men ‘97, is set to introduce some of the characters who were left out of the original show, including Sunspot and Valerie Cooper. Here are a few more fan favorites who should get their time in the spotlight once the X-Men return to animation.

Actors Who Could Play Apocalypse In The MCU

Of all the X-Men characters who never made the leap to the 90s animated series, the most important is by far Kitty Pryde, aka Shadowcat. Throughout the 80s, Kitty was one of the central characters of writer Chris Claremont’s legendary run on Uncanny X-Men, serving as the reader’s POV into the world of mutants. Over the course of nearly 100 issues, she grew from an inexperienced new recruit to a determined, quick-witted hero — a classic coming of age story that served as an emotional throughline across the X-Men’s many adventures.

However, by the time the ‘92 X-Men series began airing, Kitty had left the X-Men behind along with Nightcrawler. The two became founding members of the UK-based hero team Excalibur, led by Captain Britain.
