Marvel has regained its essence and the reason for its conquest of the entire fandom during the last decade. This is agreed upon by fans of X-Men 97′, the animated series of the company that is proving that the MCU can have a comeback in a big way thanks to the inclusion of mutants in its universe.
The fifth episode of X-Men 97′ was even compared to Avengers: Infinity War. It is a unique episode whose ending made it clear that this series took its ideas seriously, so after what happened, the plot could only get better. This has been confirmed with the sixth episode, which despite being more of a transition, features the return of the most anticipated mutant by all fans of the series. Spoiler alert.
Revenge is on its way
Professor Charles Xavier, director of the X-Men school and the main mutant world reference, has finally made his appearance in X-Men 97′. Not long ago, we explained why he hadn’t appeared before in the series, leaving Magneto in his place. Although it seemed like he was dead, he had actually moved to space after being saved by Lilandra, from the Shi’ar Empire. And in this episode, we see what has happened to him since then.
Lilandra, the empress of the Shi’ar kingdom, is preparing a wedding with Xavier to make him, in turn, her regent. However, everything turns upside down when he is accused of being a terran (that is, from Earth) and of plotting a hidden plan to weaken her empire in favor of Earth. To prove his worth, they ask him to forget his memories on Earth and the X-Men, a red line he doesn’t dare to cross… especially when he finds out what has happened to them.
Meanwhile, we see Storm spending her days with Forge, a mutant inventor who is trying to restore her powers after losing them. After a previous confrontation and the threat of a demon attacking her self-esteem, she manages to regain her former self.
At that moment, what we see is more of a cliffhanger of what is to come. Both Xavier and Storm decide, now recovered, to return to help their own. In this way, everything seems to indicate that in the next four chapters we will have the revenge we expected after the end of the fifth.
