Marvel’s X-Men have long served as a powerful metaphor for marginalized people. They are mutants, excluded from society—it is an allegory for people of all ages, obvious enough for children to understand. Well, this discussion began with a recent trailer for Beau DeMayo’s highly anticipated animated series, X-Men ‘97, which will premiere on Disney+ next month.
The new series’ 1997 setting picks up where X-Men: The Animated Series (1992–1997) left off. In the trailer, we see cult favorites like Wolverine, Storm, and Cyclops kicking ‘90s butt and sporting stunning ‘90s outfits.
This time around, the shape-shifting hero Morph will be portrayed as nonbinary, according to an interesting update. This bold move, however, has stirred up controversy and exposed a segment of fans who seem to have misunderstood the very essence of mutants.
