This collects the X-Men on television, the medium that arguably did the most to fix Marvel's mutants in the popular imagination. The 1992 animated series set the template, packing soapy melodrama, ensemble politics, and serialized arcs into Saturday-morning slots, and its long shadow stretches all the way to 2024's X-Men '97, a direct continuation pitched at the original's grown-up fans.
Between those bookends sit other takes on the same idea: Evolution's teenage, high-school reframing, Wolverine and the X-Men's future-war stakes, and a darker anime-styled version. The throughline is the franchise's central tension, a team of outcasts defending a world that fears them, retold for each new audience. It is a TV-only grouping, but a remarkably durable one.
The Animated and TV series franchise spans 5 series in the CrossBinge catalog.
