The Roster

Meet the X-Men

Nine mutants. One dream. The team that raised a generation — reborn in ’97.

  • Field Leader

    Cyclops

    Scott Summers · Voice: Ray Chase

    Optic blasts held in check by a ruby-quartz visor — and a team held together by sheer force of will.

  • Telepath · Telekinetic

    Jean Grey

    Voice: Jennifer Hale

    Once host to the cosmic Phoenix Force — the heart of the X-Men, and its breaking point.

  • Weapon X

    Wolverine

    Logan · Voice: Cal Dodd

    Adamantium claws, a healing factor, and a past that won’t stay buried. The best there is at what he does.

  • Omega Level

    Storm

    Ororo Munroe · Voice: Alison Sealy-Smith

    Commands wind, rain and lightning. Worshipped as a goddess — and not even losing her powers can dim her.

  • Power Absorption

    Rogue

    Voice: Lenore Zann

    One touch steals powers, memories — everything. Southern strength wrapped around the loneliest gift on the team.

  • Kinetic Charm

    Gambit

    Remy LeBeau · Voice: A.J. LoCascio

    Charges playing cards with kinetic fire, and charges headfirst for the people he loves. Genosha remembers his name.

  • Plasmoid Fireworks

    Jubilee

    Jubilation Lee · Voice: Holly Chou

    Mall rat, firework factory, and the X-Men’s spark. The ’90s never had a better guide.

  • Genius · Brute

    Beast

    Hank McCoy · Voice: George Buza

    Scientist, physician, Shakespearean. A brilliant mind in a blue-furred frame — oh, my stars and garters.

  • Master of Magnetism

    Magneto

    Erik Lehnsherr · Voice: Matthew Waterson

    Xavier’s oldest friend and oldest rival — now heir to his school, his team, and his dream.

The Legacy

Saturday mornings, 1992.

X-Men: The Animated Series (1992) — original poster art with the ’90s team
X-Men: The Animated Series · Fox Kids, 1992–1997

On October 31, 1992, X-Men: The Animated Series exploded onto Fox Kids — five seasons, 76 episodes, all directed by Larry Houston, all launched by Haim Saban and Shuki Levy’s unbeatable theme. For a generation, this was the X-Men.

When “Graduation Day” aired on September 20, 1997, Charles Xavier left Earth with the Shi’ar — and the screen went quiet. Twenty-seven years later, X-Men ’97 picks up months after that goodbye, with original voices Cal Dodd, Alison Sealy-Smith, Lenore Zann, George Buza and Adrian Hough back in the booth.

The longest-running Marvel animated series of its era. The record stood until 2015.
