Nexus Point News spotted various pieces of clothing on Amazon, showing that the X-Men will have multiple teams in different time periods. In Team Wasteland, we have Cyclops, Jean, Wolverine, Morph, and Storm and in Team Ancient Egypt, we have Magneto, Nightcrawler, Beast, Bishop, and Rogue. Both teams were established at the end of season one, and most of the heroes’ games reveal where they are. All characters appear in different pairs in T-shirts, tank tops, but not all get equal prominence: A-listers like Rogue and Storm get clothes all to themselves, Xavier and Forge only get to do so in group shots.
Meanwhile, the present day has its own teams. The first is X-Force, composed of Cable, Jubilee, Sunspot, Archangel, and Psylocke. The latter two arrived in season one through mutant morphs, while Jubbs and Roberto have their own new forms inspired by the comics. (Unlike the others, Jubilee has never been a part of X-Force before now.) X-Men ’97 Also introducing X-Corp and X-Factor; The latter was government-sponsored in the 90s, run by Peter David and Larry Stroman. The show’s lineup—Strong Guy, Multiple Man, Wolfsbane, Havok, Polaris, and Val Cooper—reflects the early roster of that era.
Ultimately, X-Corp counts Cyclops, Jean, Bishop, Nightcrawler, Polaris, Beast, and Rogue among its ranks. This team consists mostly of time-displaced heroes who have apparently returned to the present, but no one here has been in any comics incarnation of the group.
Disney does not have a confirmed release for this X-Men ’97 Season two is still pending, but its first episode will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 13.
