X-Men ’97: 7 things we hope to see in season two

It’s only one season, but «X-Men ’97» has already ranked among Marvel Studios’ best projects in recent years. During Madeleine Pryor’s reign as Goblin Queen, Storm’s loss of her powers, the destruction of Genosha, and Gambit’s death, this season revitalized and rebuilt the series, breathing new life into the X-Men and the Marvel Universe as a whole.

As a whole, the series has made a splash among fans and newcomers alike, and audiences are eager to see these seven things in season two.

All in all, the series has made a splash among fans and newcomers alike, and audiences are eager to see these seven things in season two.

The Return of Madeleine Pryor

Madeleine Pryor has long been a tragic villain in the Marvel universe. After becoming a clone of Jean Grey, Madeleine saw her world and sanity crumble and eventually fell under the influence of Mr. Sinister. Although Madeleine went to Genosha on good terms with the X-Men, she was unfortunately killed during the Guardians’ attack on the island.

Madeleine’s life on Genosha was a tragedy.

Like Jean, however, Madeleine has died and been resurrected in the comics before, so hopefully viewers will see her return from the dead as an ally of the X-Men. If she does return, she might bring her own team of heroes with her, similar to the Dark X-Men who will appear in 2023.

She’ll be back in 2023.

New mutants appear

.

The reboot of the series began when Sunspot was asked to become a member of the X-Men team, and the young mutant has since taken up residence with them and started an affair with Jubilee.

Sunspot was asked to become a member of the X-Men, and since then the young mutant has been settling in and having an affair with Jubilee.

But given that he’s a founding member of the New Mutants in the comics, maybe next season he can start his own league when the X-Men are scattered across time. Maybe he can even bring Jubilee along with him. Let’s hope it turns out better than the 2020 movie.

Hopefully, it’ll be better than the 2020 movie.

Magic’s appearance

.

Ilyana Rasputina, aka Magic, first appeared in the X-Men animated series in the episode «Red Dawn» where she and her brother Colossus stayed in Russia to rebuild their farm. Unfortunately, fans never got to see her become the iconic superhero they know her to be, — Morph only appeared in her character in one of his shape-shifting cameos.

She’s not the iconic superhero she is today.

But given that she was an important part of the «New Mutants» and «Inferno» storyline adapted for the reboot, viewers may finally see the mutant sorceress take up the Soul Sword and eldritch armor next season. The show has already announced her debut, with Morph appearing in her character in episode three.

Emma Frost joins the X-Men

This season saw the return of Emma Frost, who became a leading figure on the island of Genosha after fighting the X-Men as part of the Hellfire Club. However, many fans know Emma as an important member of the X-Men, whom she once led alongside Cyclops in the comics.

Frost seems to be following a similar path to her comic book counterpart, who, after surviving the Guardians’ attack on Genosha in her new diamond form, took a job at Professor Xavier’s school as a teacher and member of the X-Men. After Jean Grey and Professor Xavier disappear from modern times, Emma must join the rest of the X-Men as a new telepath.

Rachel Summers joins the X-Men

.

Kable —s not Scott and Jean’s only future child. In the comics, Rachel Summers hails from a dystopian future where the Guardians rule and sent Kitty Pryde’s mind back in time to change it. She even became the bearer of the all-powerful Phoenix Force, making her one of the strongest mutants in history.

She is the only mutant in history.

The older version of Rachel appeared as a slave in Cable’s timeline, and her persona «Mother Askani» met Scott and Jean when they landed in the distant future. Perhaps a younger version of this gifted telepath will appear in the series, and she’ll join her family as a new member of the X-Men.

Another version of this gifted telepath will appear in the series, and she’ll join her family as a new member of the X-Men.

Spider-Man crossover

.

With the announcement of «X-Men ’97», fans were hoping that Marvel Studios would also reboot the «Spider-Man» cartoon from the 1990s, which was helmed by actor Christopher Daniel Barnes, as both are set in the same universe. Given that the latter cartoon also ended earlier than expected, Spider-Man’s appearance in the X-Men lineup could allow the writers to continue working on the original series.

Marvel Studios is already rumored to be considering expanding the animated universe «X-Men ’97» by rebooting the classic Spidey cartoon. Webhead made a surprise cameo at the end of episode 8, so it looks like Marvel really is already gearing up to make that crossover happen.

Avengers vs. X-Men

.

Although Rogue had a brief run-in with Captain America this season, it seems like this dispute should lead to something more. Long before the release of «X-Men ’97» on Disney+, a slew of Avengers appeared in the universe in which the series takes place, creating an animated prototype for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Since then, Avengers like Iron Man, Dr. Strange and Black Panther have appeared in the reboot, and fans are hoping for more than just brief episodes. As Marvel Studios looks to expand the world of the series, after witnessing the chaos left behind by Magneto, the Avengers squaring off against the X-Men would seem like the best next step.
