Rating Summary
In a 2004 interview with Lisa Terrada for the Archive of American Television’s Living Television Collection, X-Men co-creator Stan Lee said about the creation of the team,
…I wanted to do another group, another group of superheroes, but I was getting tired now of figuring out how they get their superpowers. I couldn’t have everybody bitten by a radioactive spider or exposed to a gamma ray explosion. And I took the cowardly way out. I said to myself, Why don’t I just say they’re mutants. They were born that way. We all know there are mutants in real life. There’s a frog with five legs, things like that. So I won’t have to think of new excuses. I’ll get as many as I want and yeah, he’s a mutant, that’s all.
X-Men 97 (S1:E1-E6)
“X-Men ’97,” developed by Beau DeMayo, represents a revival of the renowned “X-Men: The Animated Series” from the 1990s. The show continues the storyline from where the original series concluded, following The X-Men, a band of mutants who use their uncanny gifts to protect a world that hates and fears them. The iconic era of the ’90s is revisited as they face a dangerous and unexpected new future.

If Spider-Man from the 90s get picked up, we’ll see how they’ll deal with that. Will it be ”Mary Jane Animated Series” with her struggles as she gets back from the other dimensions or regular Spider-Man show. I bet the first one, but I hope for the second one.
