X-Men Animated Series

<div style="text-align: right;"><img src="http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j230/mrjag/stormflyng.jpg" border="0"><!--right--></div> <strong>X-Men</strong>, also known as <strong>X-Men: The Animated Series</strong>, is an American animated television series which debuted on October 31, 1992 in the United States on the Fox Network as part of its Fox Kids Saturday morning lineup. <div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j230/mrjag/xmenlogo.jpg" border="0"><!--center--></div> X-Men also stands as the longest-running Marvel Comics-based show, running for five seasons and 76 episodes. The second longest, Spider-Man: The Animated Series, lasted for five seasons and 65 episodes. Although produced by different animation studios, both series were set in the same animated universe, and the X-Men even made guest appearances on Spider-Man's show. (The second X-Men animated series, X-Men Evolution, does not share this continuity, nor does the second Spider-Man animated series of that time period, Spider-Man Unlimited.) <div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j230/mrjag/inside_mansion.jpg" border="0"><!--center--></div> The show features an X-Men similar in look and line-up to the early 1990s X-Men drawn by Jim Lee, composed of Cyclops, Wolverine, Rogue, Storm, Beast, Gambit, Jubilee, Jean Grey, Professor X, and as well as an original character, Morph.[2] Though they were not part of the team as featured in the animated series, the following X-Men have all guest-starred in at least one episode: Colossus, Nightcrawler, Emma Frost, Forge, Havok, Polaris, Cannonball, Banshee, Iceman, Archangel, Longshot, Dazzler, Sunfire, Psylocke, Cable, and Bishop. Keen-eyed fans may also spot cameos by other familiar mutants, such as Feral,Rictor, and Blink. A number of famous storylines and events from the comics are loosely adapted in the series, such as The Dark Phoenix Saga, Days of Future Past, the Phalanx Covenant, and the Legacy Virus. The third episode, "Enter Magneto," features a confrontation at a missile base: this is largely based on the X-Men's first battle with Magneto, as told in their 1963 debut X-Men #1. The season four episodes "Sanctuary, Parts I & II," which involve Magneto creating an orbiting haven for mutants, were influenced by several storylines from the comics, chiefly the first three issues of X-Men (Volume 2) and the "Fatal Attractions" crossover. - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Men_(TV_series)" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Men_(TV_series)</a> <a href="http://marvel.toonzone.net/xmen/" target="_blank">http://marvel.toonzone.net/xmen/</a> <img src="http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j230/mrjag/rogueonairplane.jpg" border="0"> <div style="text-align: center;"><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/I6hB33rUQTQ&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/I6hB33rUQTQ&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/R3ngzHyrPFQ&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/R3ngzHyrPFQ&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><!--center--></div>
