The all-new original series continues the animated adventures seen in the popular show that ran from 1992 until 1997. It features mutants in a world where their existence is stigmatized. Despite this, the group are determined to use their powers for good.
Following on from the events in the animated series, X-Men '97 picks up the story of beloved Professor Charles Xavier and the X-Men. Professor X is recovering on a far-off alien planet as the war between humans and mutants continues. Magneto, the master of magnetism, has been tasked by his old friend to lead the X-Men. But can Magneto abide by the moral conduct and principled rules of Xavier's students? The X-Men seek peace and not vengeance, which is the driving force of Magneto's power. Marvel’s mutants must rally to protect the original dream of their founder while facing the threat of Nathaniel Essex, otherwise known as Mister Sinister.
