X Men 97 Landing Page — SWE-2 one-shot demo

FILE 01 // THE BRIEFING

HATED. FEARED.
UNFORGETTABLE.

The series continues with the heroic mutant team of X-Men divided and thrown across different eras in time as they struggle to navigate their return home. Meanwhile, back in the 1990s, suspicious foes and new strains of mutant intolerance are on the rise in the wake of the X-Men's absence.

A continuation of the era-defining X-Men: The Animated Series (1992–1997), X-Men ’97 picks up where Saturday mornings left off — sharper, deeper and more ambitious than ever, with the original DNA intact: operatic stakes, serialized storytelling and mutant melodrama cranked to eleven.
