The excellent X-Men ’97, an animated series that is the first mutant production made by Marvel Studios since the rights to the characters returned to Casa das Ideias itself, is now showing on Disney+.
X-Men ’97 has been showing on Disney+ since March 20th, and so far has 7 episodes released on streaming, already being considered one of Marvel Studios’ best productions.
And the animated series basically follows the same team formation as the classic 90s cartoon. And precisely for this reason, popular mutants like Black Lynx and the Colossus end up not being part of production.
But it could have been very different: via ScreenRant, the director of the X-Men cartoon in the 90s, Larry Houstonrevealed that the original plan was to have Black Lynx and Colossus as members of the team.
However, Marvel vetoed the idea because he preferred that the two were replaced by another couple: Rogue and Gambit. Today worshiped in X-Men ‘97, they were the reason why Kitty and Colossus were left out.
