Notably, the action was toned right down for the impressionable kids, creating a camp atmosphere too reminiscent of the comic books of old, where Spider-Man was banned from punching bad guys and Captain America had to pause every twelve panels to give a speech about the dangers of doing drugs.
The X-Men are pretty popular when it comes to gaming , probably because they come pre-equipped with a diverse cast of interesting characters, each with different powers and specialties.
A few games stand out, however, and the X-Men arcade side-scroller is one of them. It makes sense in context, but the game itself- based on the failed Pryde of the X-Men pilot- came out in , a few months before the animated series.
It barely scrapes by as a mobile game in the techno world of , but the game itself still hold up as a nice representation of the X-Men, and lets you smash your way through almost every major villain in the series.
Jumping forward a few years, we come to Wolverine and the X-Men , a third major animated appearance that only managed to scrape a single season before being axed. The series takes a few more recent concepts Emma Frost being a member of the X-Men, for example and mashes them all together in a series with a few standout characters.
Notably, the story starts with the X-Men disbanded, with part of the focus being getting the old gang back together. The other part? Gambit makes a couple of appearances, not as a member of the X-Men, but as a freelance thief-for-hire and general all-round badass who tends to work alone. The X-Men ensemble is pretty well-rounded, featuring both classics and favorites such as Rogue and Nightcrawler, plus a few who appear in a post-apocalyptic future where Professor X spends most of his time.
Despite the Ultimatum story that nearly single-handedly tanked the entire universe, the Ultimate comics are still ongoing. Starting as an experiment to see what would happen if you tossed out all those decades of continuity and started afresh, Ultimate X-Men was one of the first titles, and it re-imagined the origin of the X-Men in true gritty, realistic fashion. The new start allowed for different interpretations and spins, such as turning Jean Grey into a sassy, fun-loving flirt and Magneto into an affable-yet-horrifically-genocidal maniac.
There's also that healthy balance of keeping the iconic artwork but "upping the quality" so it's easier on the eyes. If it does, then it may be confusing for fans who watch Marvel Studios' live-action films and haven't seen these characters. It will also be harder for the live-action X-Men film to live up to the animated version because the fight scenes and costumes are likely to be more comic-accurate in the latter.
Kevin Feige recently detailed the casting process for finding new roles for the Fantastic Four and X-Men projects. So, it will be nice to finally see the X-Men back in the fold and potentially interact with heroes like Spider-Man or Hulk. See more at IMDbPro. Top rated TV Episodes Browse episodes.
