The X-Men are back in the Disney Plus animated series X-Men '97! The story continues for our mutant superheroes and villains, dressed in their iconic outfits with a few minor changes.

The story essentially follows two groups of mutants, those who want to protect humans and those who want to control them. Mutants were humans before their powers emerged, often placing them into the guiding arms of Professor Xavier and his school, Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, or to the clutches of the powerful and vengeful Magneto.

In the process, we are introduced to a fairly large cast of characters who tackle a variety of issues that affect themselves and the world around them. The X-Men, like most Marvel franchises, has been nearly inescapable as the television show, originally based on comics, morphed into live-action movies, merchandise, and not surprisingly, video games.
