The X-Men animated television show has also returned, resuming after a 30-year hiatus with the X-Men ‘97 series on Disney+. Welcome back, everyone.The series opens where season five left off in 1997. The X-Men are feeling lost without Professor Xavier, who may be dead or simply recovering in the Shi'ar Empire. Can Cyclops keep the X-Men together? Who is Madelyne Pryor and what is her purpose? What is the relationship between Rogue and Magneto and how can Rogue touch him? Are Magneto and the other “evil” mutants truly evil or are their motives more complex?  How does Storm handle her loss of powers and with whom does she face the Adversary? Which recent events influenced the showrunners and writers, especially with the attack on Genosha? What will the final three episodes tell us, and will we see Xavier back on Earth? How did various comic book series and writers, directly and indirectly, connect with these specific storylines?
