X-Men ’97
X-Men ’97 is a sequel to the popular X-Men: The Animated Series (1992). The show will attempt to maintain the same feel, look (even though with a more modern animation style), and theme of the original. It’ll also have many characters people are familiar with, like Cyclops, Wolverine, and Rogue, while featuring new ones, like Sunspot. Even some of the voice actors will be the same as in the prequel.
It’ll pick up after the ending of Season 5, in which we saw Professor Xavier on the brink of death. X-Men ’97 will probably deal with disputes between Cyclops and Magneto, who will join the team. The trailer also shows Jean Grey is pregnant, which can lead to many popular stories from the comics. Another interesting part is the riot against mutants, which might mean the cartoon will present a heavier political side than usual.
All in all, one thing is for sure. If you are an X-Men or a comic book fan, this has a lot of potential to be one of your favorite shows of 2024.

What Happened In Episode 3?
Beast discovers the Jean who already was with them, Nathan’s mother, is actually a clone. She refuses to believe that, but the others aren’t certain, which angers her. When she is alone, Mr. Sinister says he is her father and starts controlling the woman, because he wants Nathan.
She uses her powers to transform the house into a living hell. Monsters appear to attack the X-Men and make them live their biggest fears and insecurities. Fortunately, the real Jean wakes up and puts an end to that.
Later, she also contacts her clone and relieves their memories together. With that, the clone Jean regains control of her body and helps Scott save Nathan. However, even though they scare the villain away, the baby is in danger. Because of Sinister’s experiments, he has been infected by a techno-organic virus that might kill him.
The clone Jean suggests Bishop takes Nathan to the future, where there might be a way to save the baby before anything bad happens. Cyclops doesn’t like the idea, but he lets it happen. Right after that, the psychic, now calling herself Madelyne Pryor, also leaves the mansion and says her goodbyes to the real Jean.
