Disney Plus’s new “X-Men ’97” show is thrilling fans who loved the franchise in the 1990s. That’s not the decade it’s drawing from.
The X-Men keep mutating back into the culture. The Marvel superheroes, created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, debuted in 1963 and have spent the last 60 or so years appearing in thousands of comics, some leather-heavy blockbuster movies, 64-bit video games and the occasional animated show — the latest of which, “X-Men ’97,” premiered on Disney Plus on March 20 and is now four episodes into its season.
Style is where The Washington Post covers happenings on the front lines of culture and what it all means, including the arts, media, social trends, politics and yes, fashion, all told with personality and deep reporting.
Finally, “X-Men ’97” is up to something with Magneto. Back in 1997, the animated series concluded with an ailing Professor Charles Xavier being ferried off to space with his galactic-empress paramour to recuperate. Here, in the new series, we learn that Professor X left his estate and his School for Gifted Youngsters to Magneto, up until this point the series’ chief villain. But first, Magneto answers for his crimes, allowing the U.S. government to put him on trial.
