The fact that this cartoon gave the whole team their share of The Spotlight instead of obsessing over Wolverine alone makes it the Superior X-Men Adaptation.

I was showing this to my niece and nephew, did not expect Jean's xgasm x.x

[Roxannellphillips]

You didn’t mention how Rogue spent 85% of her time saving Jean while she fainted and moaned.

[sidd]

I love how they crammed in the Japanese intro bit just so they could get honest trailer guy to say sugoi!

[thefortress]

So iconic. I loved how this show used so many underrated characters that many people don't even know exist nowadays.
Omega Red, Mister Sinister, Forge, Bishop, Cannonball, The Shi'ar Empire, The Brood, Mastermold, Mastermind, Avalanche.

To e honest, for a pg13 show, they manage to show off Wolverines personality really well

[dvxeuhm]

Of course the wife walks in right at the jeans Xgasems part and ask what I'm watching.

[paulb]

Learning what "to be continued" means was probably my first lesson in English.

[Steve_P_B]

In the 90s, the villains were jollier than the heroes. You rarely hear the heroes having a happy laugh but the villains enjoy life

[AxelQC]

One of my favorite moments from the series was when they went back in time from the future where mutants were fighting with humans back to the 1960s with Bishop to meet young Xavier. Wolverine and Storm were a couple in this universe. At a dinner, they were refused service for holding hands. Storm quipped, "Discrimination based on skin color is almost quaint!"

[Airvirgo]

man, they forgot about the professors screaming every time he used his powers on an enemy

[filipscherhaufer]

Well, now we need Spider-Man: The Animated series (1994) :D

[yellowprime]

Needs more Bishop yelling "I keep going back, but nothing changes!"

[Elvisbackpack]

This hits closer to home after Doctor Strange 2 actually introduced Prefessor X with the animated series theme.

[nevaehlheaven]

"The Rogues are sexier." I'm mad because this is true.

[deadpooltoys]

"Egg suckin piece of gutter trash" I gonna start using that lol

[blacksage]

H. Trailers: "and when 1st place is Batman, second place aint half bad."
X-men '97: And I took that personally.

[WombatMan]

Shout out to those coming here after watching the trailer for Disney's new continuation of the show.

[ChaosWolf]

You forgot the most iconic part - the series having so many multi-part storylines that we wound up with Cyclops saying
PREVIOUSLY, ON X-MEN
at the start of, like, half the episodes.

And yes, you just read that in his voice.
