Poster for X-Men: The Animated Series
The Big Picture The first season of X-Men ‘97is almost over! Since the show is a sequel to the 90s classic, X-Men: The Animated Series, connections to the source material have been found throughout its chapters. Ahead of this week’s release, creator Beau DeMayo tweeted a list of relevant episodes from the original show to have the full context of this final run.
X-Men '97 AnimationActionAdventureSuperhero A band of mutants use their uncanny gifts to protect a world that hates and fears them; they're challenged like never before, forced to face a dangerous and unexpected new future. A plot to rid the world of the mutants has been slowly uncovered. The series sees the return of the Friends of Humanity, with their leader, X-Cutioner , being responsible for depowering Storm . Making matters drastically worse, a repowered and upgraded Master Mold attacks Genosha just when the mutant country was amping up to become a powerful nation with Magneto as its monarch.
Season 5’s “Descent” tells the origins of Mister Sinister, one of the X-Men’s most iconic villains. Back in the Victorian Era, he was known as Dr. Nathaniel Essex. His experiments on mutants lead to him being shunned from London, and living in hiding for the next years. Three further revelations – cleverly making use of historic figures – fill out the gaps of Sinister’s backstory. The first is how Essex learned the theory of evolution and natural selection from Charles Darwin himself.
