X-Men: Evolution is an American animated television series about the Marvel Comics superhero team X-Men. In this incarnation, many of the characters were teenagers instead of adults, much like how they were in the early issues of the comics. The series ran for a total of four seasons (52 episodes) from November 4, 2000 until October 25, 2003 on Kids' WB, which at the time made it the third longest-running Marvel Comics animated series, behind only Fox Kids' X-Men and Spider-Man animated series. The series was aired on Disney XD from June 15, 2009 to December 30, 2011.

Xavier sound weird? You do know thats david kaye one of the most well know voice actors
I liked it, and it was a great part of my childhood.
I saw it on Saturday mornings with the WB block and enjoyed a lot. Not having seen the original animated series I still had a great time watching the series and getting to know the character. Sure there were the couple meh episodes, but overall I had a good time with it and could still rattle off a handful of memorable episodes
Loved it.
A FUCKING LOT!!
X-Men Evolution really surprised me. I watched it when it was on WB. So many ideas, wish it had more seasons. I totally agree it felt more grounded, emotional, and not as many story arcs compared to the original series.
Wild to think we are getting a new season of the original next year.
Magneto's voice actor Christopher Judge did just win an award for his role as Kratos in God of War Ragnarök. Nice to see his career went up since this.
Oh shit! Now I definitely have to find this show and sample a few episodes
He also spent most of the 2000s playing the character Teal’C in Stargate.
During his Stargate years, he was doing video game voices before GoW, most notably the Def Jam games
My millennial mind is blown 🤯
I didn't know he voiced magneto
Fun Fact: the guy who did the character designs for this show also designed the characters for the Swan Princess. That’s why Jean Grey looks like a red-headed version of Odette.
I did not know that but now that you point it out I can 100% see the resemblance.
That explains so much!
Oh wow, I checked and that guy, Steven E. Gordon, did in fact work on The Swan Princess and this show but also The King and I, The Trumpet of the Swan, The Scarecrow and those Animated Stories series about the Bible and historical figures.
No wonder I saw that artstyle a lot as a kid, I just assumed it was a common late 90s/early 2000s style!
@@DarkOverlord96 you’re correct sir! ☝️he has been a steady employee of Nest Entertainment.
Huh….now that you mentioned it….yeah I kinda see it.
Rest in peace, Kirby Morrow (the voice of Cyclops)!!🙏🙏💐💐💐
Agreed, arguably his performance as Cyclops is probably the best take on the character in media. Not to mention his other iconic performances such as playing Cole on Lego Ninjago will always be remembered and cherished.
RIP
Some other underrated Kirby Marrow roles I find are Jay on Class of the Titans, and Jason on Kong: The Animated Series.
And Cole. I miss him as Cole from Ninjago.
R.I.P 😢
@@bennywark3103ninja never quit😔
RIP Norm Spencer too. That's two Cyclops's we've lost.
Although I loved the 90s cartoon Evolution was amazing, unique and deep. It really became my favorite version of the xmen.
I don't get it. X-Men TAS felt more mature than Evolution. Evolution really felt like it was made for small children.
@@JLDReactions I'd say more for teens. Remember the show Buffy the vampire slayer? That's what they were trying to do with this. Sure it was more kid show action than what we got in the 90s but there was subtle story beats. Lance's wanting to change to be good for kitty but also just growing up, Cyclops being the brash head first teen to basically becoming 90s Scott. From what I remember they were held back on the violence for some reason and the show was sorta pushed to show connections to the movies, Mystique at the end of season 1, even when the show was canceled season 3 was supposed to be more epic. It could have become what Avengers EMHs was doing.
@@JLDReactions No. It has too much thematic depth for small children to understand. And the 90's cartoon was not more mature. There were a lot of childish moments in that show.
@@JLDReactions are you sure about that there was a hell of a lot of mature scenes in the show they talked about World War II and the holocaust, neglectful and abusive parents, segregation, racism, abandonment, PTSD, inner turmoil. I’m sorry, although the were indeed some childish moments the show was still mature and heading out edgy at heart.
@@jhtoxic7870 they're also mistaking "made for a younger demographic" with childish. A good example is Adventure Time. Yes, it has a LOT of childish, silly moments. But if you brush off the whole series as childish, you miss out on things like the temple of Egress, understanding relationships, literally any episode involving the Lich or Ice King's past, and the ingenious (if rushed) ending of fighting a god of chaos with literal harmony.
This is only version on the X-Men, to my knowledge, where Scott Summers (Cyclops) isn't summed up as simply an asshole. This is made even better by Kirby Morrow's performance of the character. Even when you disagree with the character, you can still at the very least understand where he's coming from and can cut him some slack. He'll have moments where he can be an ass but I don't think there was ever a moment that made me wanna call this version of Cyclops an asshole. It was also refreshing to see Wolverine/Logan NOT hit on Jean Grey like they did in the movies.
This EXACT reason is why "Walk on the Wild Side" doesn't sit well with me. Out of nowhere, Scott acts super sexist in the episode.
@@OpticalSorcerer And Jean complains about how she's always treated like she's weak...but in every episode before Scott never treated her as anything BUT an equal.
@@ShadowSonic2 They really didn't need an excuse if they wanted to do a girls-only episode. They could've had Wanda feeling like the Brotherhood was holding her back and that they had inferior power to her, thus wrecking havok to find Magneto. The girls would happen to be having a girls' night out and stop her.
@@OpticalSorcerer That’s actually an awesome idea
I imagine Jean, Rogue and Kitty as a trio would be more than enough handle Wanda
But Boom Boom and Magma could join in as well
@@pepito2847 Thanks! I don't recall their power levels by this time, but I think Wanda could still potentially outdo them because she's unpredictable. It'd be nice to have Storm be there as the adult, helping the girls not to overdo it (as well as stopping them before they become vigilantes, like what Professor X wanted to prevent them from becoming). Mystique would probably be the same, trying to stop them before they go too far.
Cyclops being abandoned in the desert and kicking the crap outta mystique in the dark is an amazing episode, my personal favorite
I like how they did the Cyclops and Wolverine dynamic in this, it’s not just alpha male macho bs, Wolverine has had to go against his nature by being more nurturing and mentorish while cyclops has been ironically learning from him. But when Cyclops starts to grow up and take charge you see a real and relatable conflict. They almost make a better mentor student duo then the Professor and Cyclops.
Scott even clashes a little with Xavier in this show too, when he thinks the X-Men should be actively doing good and helping people because that will show humans they aren't bad guys. Xavier wants to stay hidden. Scott turns out to be right there as well.
@@ShadowSonic2 It’s the Younger Generation mindset vs the older, the youngster seeing so much potential and good they can do while the older generation is worried about what can be lost. The core theme of Marvel in general with great power comes great responsibility.
Well said
This was actually my first experience with X-Men. Yes, I saw this before the 90s show and I really enjoyed it when I watched it. I also love its theme song.
My introduction to this series was a promo on a videocassette of Scooby-Doo & The Alien Invaders, where the promo was narrated by anime voice actor Jonathan David Cook
It was the same for me, I really liked this show.
People had the 80s one but I had this in the 2000s. I also have the theme on my playlist. It’s just as catchy as the 80s one.
Same
@@kagetsu13 90s not 80s
I really like how the Brotherhood was handled. Like even when they were doing bad things, they weren't bad people. If anything is more like the world didn't really like them and that anger and rejection kept them from joining the xmen. But there were always times where the characters talked and you could def see them contemplating on joining the X-Men's side. Not for helping humans really but more for the chance to be a part of a loving community. I felt that hard with Boom Boom.
Except Quicksilver, he was consistently shown to be the only Brotherhood member who had actual evil and sociopathic tendencies.
I didn't like this Version of Avalanche. They made him American, which doesn't make any sense. They TRIED pairing him up with Kitty which made even LESS sense even to those who read the different versions of the Comic(In Uncanny, Kitty is paired up with Colossus) and they waited TOO late to bring Pyro in. Keeping HIM as the Source Material while ignoring ALL those Changes they made to Avalanche.
Mystique in Evolution was....ALL over the place. Forward and Kyle's Writing Team just had NO idea if they wanted her to be an Anti Hero or Villain , and kept causing her to bounce between both. I also Felt that they did a HALF ASSED job on the Mystique/Nightcrawler as Mother and Son story arc. I mean REALLY half assed job. In Saban's X-MEN, You felt for her, sympathized with her. Felt her Pain, her Deep Seated Grief YET Motherly Love for her Son, deep down proud that he Converted to Christianity, but in Evolution, she was Schizophrenic.
@@Tornado1994 To be fair, the Kitty/Colossus pairing was icky in the comics. They got together when she was 14 and he was 19
I enjoyed the character work in this show, especially Rogue. It remembered that Rogue wasn't always part of the team in the comics. She used to be part of the Brotherhood before she switched sides. Making her a teen with all that teen angst and trying to find where she belongs really worked well for the character. I also liked how Scott was the one that didn't give up on her and the deciding moment for her to join the X-Men is when she had to protect Scott. Speaking of Scott, he isn't an asshole in Evolution, so bonus points there.
Nightcrawler here is like Beast Boy in Teen Titans: a fun loving goof ball that's an essential part of the team. I also like Kitty and Rogue's designs.
I don't know if it's just me, but I think X-Men Evolution had my favorite adaptation of Rogue. I don't why, but I really liked that gothic look to her and how, despite her she's required to cover 95% of her body due to her powers, she wears an outfit that both covers nearly everything and yet reveals enough. It's honestly kinda hot.
@@StonedMexicanGuy Firstly; Rogue's approximately 19 years old, she's not a child. She's at best a young adult. And according to most laws, the area of consent is approximately 18 or older.
And secondly; I wasn't referring to now. I was referring to when I was younger. When X-Men Evolution was still airing on channels like WB Kids.
"My Power is Yo Power and I can take more than One!".
I also think this is the best version of Rogue, her gothic looks makes her look like a vampire and that's something that fits with her powers like a theme. Also, her clothing says alot about her personality, she cover herself because she is afraid of her powers and feels limited and as a gothic and her sarcastic behavior indicates that she is kinda depressed and frustrated because she doesn't have close contact, no kiss, no hugs, that's why You can see how much skin she shows, because she want to feel touched. That's why it's a great design it says a lot about her with just a look 😮😢
This show was my introduction to X-men when I was a kid. And I gotta say it worked really well for me.
While this wolverine wasn’t the main focus, they still managed to make him a badass with a heart of gold. At least with Kitty. His VA Scott McNeil makes everything gold!!
The 90's and the movies were my introduction to the x-men, but this show was what made me into true fan of the characters.
I specially like how the show portrayed the rivalry between the x-men and the brotherhood, giving the villains more personallity (specially Toad and Avalanche) rather than having them being just random evil mutants for the X-men to punch.
Even Avalanche had a great episode where he briefly becomes an X-Men.
same
I also liked that being rival gangs made their civilian persona more in depth since Kitty and Lance cannot properly date and maintain their relationship. And when Apocalypse started to be the main antagonist they finally have a common enemy instead of each other leader's ideal.
@@SwiftNimblefoot Yeah, and that episode was the start of his relationship with Kitty Pryde which I thought was very well developed.
@@froshtea True, that was aspect I like about the brotherhood, they aren't just bunch of evil mutants for the x-men to punch, but more a rival school, with each member having their own unique personality and relationship with the X-men (Lance and Kitty had feelings, Pietro and Evan were rivals even Toad got a nice episode where he teams up with Nightcrawler to save Wanda).
The closing Monologue to this series delivered by Professor X truly gives me goosebumps. Makes me both happy and sad and it’s wonderful.
This show doesn’t get as much recognition as the 90s series, but it should
I was lucky to meet Kirby Morrow who voiced Cyclops. I am sad he left us a few years ago
I forgot this show existed until now and now I'm having a tsunami nostalgia blast
Loved this show as a kid
Something I give evolution so much credit for was the huge cast, and how they didn't always keep focus on the mains. This show stands out as the only show that truly captured the vibe of the X-men, a school of mutants. Bringing in the New mutants made the show so much better, the whole cast felt more full. We got to see them grow into fighters. It lead to great character dynamics. Though I wish some got more screen time to. show their personalities(Jubilee, Sunspot, Wolfbane). I'll always be grateful to the show for introducing me to characters as a kid that I still love today through the comics. Even if they aren't in movies and this isn't an "accurate" line up.
The best version of Cyclops, and thank fucking god they threw away that stupid ass "Scott-Jean-Logan" triangle and turned Logan into the grumpy dad of the team.
They changed it to Jean/Scott/Rogue...and I don't know why but I liked that.
The action figures for X-men Evolution were gnarly. Had Magneto and Juggernaut as a kid and they surprisingly complemented the Toybiz lines based on the 90’s x-men. But 90’s X-men TAS will always be my X-men
I had a Wolverine, the only one I ever owned that had retractable claws. Though weirdly his legs only moved vertically.
Hell yeah man I still have my Toad figure
@@Superluigi881 i still got the nightcrawler one,it says 2001 on it
@@Superluigi881 The fact that Wolverine outfit is Orange surprisingly makes sense, some hate the yellow outfit because it's not edgy enough. So if you're going to change it, Orange is the smart choice because Orange is the combination of Red and Yellow.
In my opinion, Evolution did a Handful of things better than the 90s show.
- Jean Grey can use her powers without fainting.
- Magneto forms the Brotherhood of Mutants instead of just teaming up with 1 Villain per episode.
- Nightcrawler is a main character and does NOT appear in under 2 episodes.
- Kitty Pryde being the main member of the X-men and I'm glad because I don't want wanna see Jubilee being the main member again sense they already use her being the main member in the 90's show, yes she does appear in the second season in a small role one episode.
And Cyclops being more than "Bland Leader Guy"
Good show I recommend it for adults too. Fun fact: it was supposed to have a final season but it was canceled unfortunately
Rip Pheonix saga.
Both this and the 90s cartoon are great for their own reasons. I just wish the movies could capture some of that success
Cyclops on XME is (by a mile) the best version of Scott Summers I’ve ever seen adapted. Many other people share this sentiment, I see so many comments from people saying “this is the ONLY time I’ve ever liked Cyclops”
Steve Gordon (the character designer and animation director for the show) put up his concept art for the characters on Instagram, even he said "People have come to me at Cons and said our Cyclops was the only likable version".
Cyclops in this show was my favorite version of the character, and I really liked his voice.
Shame his VA passed away. He also used to work on other obscure cartoons and anime.
@@doodlebugfour7070 He was also in superhero film called Mosaic, written by Stan Lee. Yet some how it isn't owned by Marvel.
THIS was my X-Men cartoon. I appreciate the original X-Men carton, and Evolutions probably wouldn’t exist without it, but even still, this is the show that got me into the X-Men characters. One of my favorite western cartoons by far.
This was me and my siblings introduction to the X Men. It was great watching this every Saturday.
This show still has my favorite line up of Horsemen EVER. I just love the idea of having the adult/mentor/leader figures being used to fight the next generation. Imagine if X-Men Apocalypse did that. Keep Magneto as War, have Mystique as Pestilence, instead of killing Havoc having him as Famine, and using Professor X or Wolverine as Death. I just that change would make that movie 10x better.
Wow, that's a great idea! I always kind of saw X-Men: Apocalypse as the 'live action' adaptation of X-Men: Evolution, and your idea just made it even better.
I absolutely loved the episode where Mystique broke Juggernaut out of a supermax facility. Meanwhile the X-men and Brotherhood are competing at some obstacle course and, while they don't like each other, they had to come together to stop Juggernaut. Who was badass in Evolution.
It was such a great show.
This was my first X-men show. Good times.
I will die on the hill declaring this the best Version of Jean Grey period
2:38 I acc *really* enjoyed the age difference between Cyclops & Wolverine tbh.
Idk what it's like in the comics, but it was acc very refreshing to see them get along (most of the time), rather than constantly butting heads like the films.
Seeing anything relating to this show just saddens me. Cyclops voice actor, Kirby Morrow passed away in November of 2020 and I'm still pretty hurt by that.
This is MY definite version of X-Men. I love these versions of the characters.
The best Easter egg in the show is when there's a big team up and they separate into smaller groups. Cyclops, Jean, Iceman, Beast, and Angel are grouped together, like the original comic and Iceman says, "This is the cool team!"
Rest in Peace Kirby Morrow the voice Scott Summers Cyclops.
Doug's description for the show sounds like the 2012 Ninja Turtles show; taking elements from past incarnations and making something new.
This was my s*** back in the day. I remember seeing this every weekend on Kids WB. Cyclops is my favorite X-Man because of Evolution. Avalanche is one of my favorite X-Men villains because of Evolution. While OG Teen Titans is my favorite show of all time, X-Men are my favorite superhero team of all time thanks to X-Men Evolution.
In my opinion it’s the best X-men show
X-Men Evolution and the 90s X-Men cartoon are both great. Among my favorite super hero cartoons of all time.
What about Wolverine and the X-Men?
@@somerandolad Only had one season
Not enough to really be compared to the other X-Men shows
No contest
@@pepito2847 evolution was much more entertaining for me than wolverine and xmen
I really loved this show, it was my entire childhood. I adored that it showed us our favourite X Men as teens in high school, which is a fascinating concept.
Who was your favorite and least favorite evolution character
It was such fun hearing all the Canadian voice actors for me. I need to rewatch it again!!!
The Captain America & Nick Fury episode was my favorite. I loved the dynamic between Wolverine and those characters and them showing things like Magneto being rescued as a kid during World War 2.
@Raylan Givens Interesting, I didn't know too much about Classic Nick Fury in comparison to modern. I do like both iterations though and I'm glad that his MCU version is still going to be in some shows/movies soon.
@@SPIRE_FAN yeah I think both are interesting and cool in there own right
Everyone else was all Animated Series and FOX films, but me? *_THIS_* was my X-Men when I was a kid. I especially love Scott McNeil’s performance as Wolverine, as much as Steve Blum continues to own the role.
Yeah this is definitely a 2000s era X-Men show. But i love the Apocalypse build up and X-23’s debut- those were great.
One thing I really liked about this show is how Rogue dresses while out of costume. It makes sense for someone who doesn't like touching people would dress in a way that covers as much of her body as she can.
I would agree, except she wore that even before she discovered her powers.
@@carlotta4th They explained that: Her foster mom (Destiny) told her she had a skin condition and encouraged her to always cover up
Thanks for covering this! This is the X-Men show I grew up on, even more then the 90’s animated one. Always glad to see it talked about.
Thanks for watching and supporting us!
I think the show's phenomenal voice cast performance is worth mentioning as well. Meghan Black especially killed it as Rogue.
Magneto in X-Men: Evolution is voiced by Christopher Judge, the guy who went on to voice Kratos in God of War 4 (Boy)
This show was for me a Gundam dub reunion. Char, Amuro, Trowa, Duo, Heero, Relina, Sayla, Dorothy, Kai, and a bunch more I’m forgetting.
I generally liked the voice cast in this one. Surprisingly even Kitty Pryde was adorable in this show.
Fun fact: Did you know that some of the cast was the same cast in Inuyasha!
Scott/Cyclops is Miroku
Logan/Wolverine is Koga
Quicksilver is Inuyasha
Wanda/Scarlett Witch is Sango
And Kurt/Nightcrawler's classmate & eventual girlfriend is Kagome!
Kitty was easily the most adorable character in this show
She’s probably the one I picture myself being friends with the most along with Nightcrawler
Yeah. Most of the voice actors in the show were also well-known voice actors from Beast Wars: Transformers, Inuyasha and Gundam Wing. Also, a sad fact to know that Kirby Morrow (the voice of Cyclops in this show) passed away, last year.😔😔😔🙏🙏💐💐
@@elizabethescalante7866 Some of the same voice actors in this show were also in the English dub of Gundam Wing and Beast Wars: Transformers.
@@xm9968 I know. God rest his soul. He was AWESOME as our favorite perverted monk.
This was the X-Men I grew up with and for me at least it still holds up.
I will say this: what won me over with some od the characters is you see they can be interesting and useful without certain crutches. Case and Point: Rogue and Jean.
Rogue not [fully] having super-strength, flight, and invulnerability and focusing on the absorbing abilities was dope. You get to see the growth in her character and powers, especially the episode "Self Possessed".
Jean without the Phoenix is shown to he incredibly useful with her powers. Mor always fainting, even if she doesn't have control
To be fair, people exaggerate 90s jean. She's actually fine. And when she's exhausted it usually makes sense. And evo Jean does the same.
Good show, I'm talking more about fan perception being wrong.
@@DSan-kl2yc I remember reading somewhere there the women chosen in the 90s cartoon were opposites of each other. Jean being the emotional strength, while Rogue was the physical. Jubilee being the naive youthful while Storm was theotherly experienced
I’m so glad Doug finally sat down and watched this, and I’m so glad he likes it! This is one of my favorite pieces of X-Men media and it’s what made me fall in love with the series!
By far the best Jean Grey version in any audiovisual media. On top of having a charismatic and likeable character, the show never chickened put of displaying her full strength with contrived conveniences to have her out of the picture, which is provably one of the worst aspects of the 90s show.
This was MY X-Men show growing up, and I'm happy it still holds up.
How fitting... I watching this show now and the Nostalgia Critic released the video about it. God bless him.
It brings me so much joy to hear so much praise for Evolution. This show was my introduction to X-Men. I was obsessed with it, especially Nightcrawler. I was disappointed to find out he wasn't the same in any other version. I'm usually one who roots for the original, but I just connected with Nightcrawler in this so much. X-Men was always a huge metaphor for the LGBTQ+ community, and I felt that hard with this show. I'll never forget my dad telling me he'd disown me if I came out as gay, and I was. I had to hide who I was while figuring out what it fully meant. I was taught gay is bad and trans wasn't even something I KNEW about. And here I was wanting to die because I couldn't exist in a way that made me happy. When you have to hide and have no one to be yourself with, it's so lonely it's devastating. X-Men gave me a place to escape because these people were going through similar situations. They hid who they were, they found comfort in others like them, all while figuring out their identities and life as they were still kids. It was an amazing show that still holds up, and it is on Disney+ last I looked. I encourage anyone to check it out.
I think X-Men:Evolution is GREAT. Wolverine as A Teacher is a Good Idea.
I think Doug's head space is so far in the 90's show that he doesn't stop to consider how much this show won over 2000's era kids and got it so many seasons and honestly comparing this to the 90's series is an unhealthy bias to have since he's glaring over the flaws that show had while highlighting this shows flaws, I just think Doug often struggles to get outside of his own head and remember what its like for others to have differing opinions on things
Though I grew up with the 90's version as a little kid, I always liked this version more mainly because I was in high school myself when it came out. The deep history of the characters really hit it with me and it continously built on itself while drawing and holding true to its past iterations for inspiration and guidance.
Honestly, this series had the best version of Jean Grey. Had the series gotten another season they would’ve introduced the Phoenix Saga, where it starts off as a prequel, and then a sequel with Dark Phoenix. Introducing Emma Frost, and the Hellfire Club.
This show made me love kitty pride. Never knew how cool and useful her powers could be til this and wolverine and the X-Men.
This is one of my favorite shows of all time! I was 1 y/o (almost 2) when X-Men 1992 was released and spent my childhood with it; I have fond memories with it from when I was little and still love it. However, I was 9 y/o (almost 10) when Evolution came out. This show defined my tween years! It aired new episodes at 10pm, and my dad would let me stay up late to watch it with him every week. He was extremely strict, so that is something really special for me, on top of it being an amazing show! I was waiting to develop mutant powers while my peers were waiting for their Hogwarts letters.
As for which is better: 1992 or Evolution? I think they're both equally good, just different. Do you want action packed battles and an extremely faithful adaptation? Or do you want character studies and lore expansion while not completely forgetting the source material? They're too different to truly compare on a one to one basis.
As for X-23: She definitely needed more screen time. I agree with you there. She was, however, explored a bit more than you've voiced in season 4. She comes back with intentions of revenge on Hydra, and Wolverine finds her and tries to keep her safe. He also confronts her about leaving rather than hiding when Shield came for her and aids in her faking her own death to be free from further pursuit. She was still short changed overall though. It would have been interesting to see her join the school.
@You're under 19 don't argue They do. I just would have liked to see how everyone interacts with her and Logan upon joining them.
This was an interesting one for me, in that I was a little disappointed because I felt a lot of Magneto’s complexity was lost, but I also felt that was made up for by expanding the complexity of the brotherhood instead.
I love everything X-Men (I even loved literally every X-Men movie) but this is what I think of when I think of a lot of these characters. Nightcrawler, kitty, rouge, toad, spike, x23, storm, ect. These are my X-Men.
My favorite version of Rogue ❤
Voiced by the Lovely Megan Black. She returned in Wolverine and the X-Men(2009) as Shadowcat.
"I'm about feel Big and Stupid".
@@Tornado1994 It wasn't her voicing Shadowcat in that show, Meghan Black had to retire from acting in 2005.
@@Tornado1994 incorect, it's actually Danielle Judovits. The good news is that Mark Hildreth who voiced Angel in Evolution voiced Quick Sliver in Wolverine and the X-men.
As a 90s kid, this show was my introduction to X-Men. This fills me with some awesome nostalgia, and I really gotta rewatch it. I wonder how I’d like it now.

4:40 I loved Nightcrawler in this, but my favourite portrayal of the character is definitely the one from Wolverine & the X-Men tbh.
I *loved* seeing him with more experience, showing off what a skilled fighter he can be.
I’m gonna come out and say it…
I personally prefer rewatching X-Men Evolution over the 90s series
I relate to the characters more due to many of them being adolescents, it marks the first series in which famous X-Men Kitty Pryde and Nightcrawler are main characters, Wolverine doesn’t hog up the spotlight as much and is still an awesome and complex character and even The Brotherhood in this show are interesting ,relatable and well written
I also think Cyclops and Jean are more interesting in this show than the 90s show
Literally my favorite show. When I was a kid I was like “these aren’t my X-men” but kept watching and fell in love 😍 still holds up in 2022
This was interesting because a few of the voice cast was known for being in anime! Scott was voiced by the late Kirby Morrow (voice of Miroku in Inuyasha), Jean was voiced by Venus Terzo (voice of Female Ranma in Ranma 1/2), and many others. Definitely my favorite version of X-Men, hope everyone gives it a chance!
Brad "Rock" Swalie of Black Lagoon Voices Nightcrawler!
It was really nice when nightcrawler was accepted by the girl he liked after he revealed what he really looked like. I didn't quite get at the time since I was a kid when I watched it, but it felt nice to see that. And it was because of this show that nightcrawler became my favorite X-Men.
Yes, thank you! Thank you so much! This was the x men I grew up with. I never watched the 90s show, or read the comics as a kid, this was my first introduction to these characters. So it really hurt when I heard so many older fans bash this show. I understand if you don't like all the changes, but for me, this wasn't a spinoff or a prequel, it was just X-Men to me. After years of hearing people hate on it, it feels really good to see someone talk so positively about it, especially an older X-Men fan.
Also, I stand by the fact that this show has some of the best character designs. Magneto has never looked better than this.
Although the 90s series is amazing and iconic, I absolutely adore this version of the X-Men (2000s cheesiness and all). It’s like the X-Men equivalent of That ‘70s Show and I think it’s perfect for what I want from this team
RIP Kirby Morrow (Scott Summers/Cyclops)
Early 2000s was a great time for X-Men. the first 2 X-Men movies were a hit, Grant Morrison was killing it on New X-Men, ultimate X-Men had launched, Chris Claremont on Xtreme X-Men, X-Statix, and this show.
Did you know the scene of them dancing and the scene waking down the highschool hallway, shown in clips during the title sequence, was rotoscoped from Buffy, The Craft, and a couple of other movies/shows?
Buffy, the Craft and Coyote Ugly
"Walk On The Wild Side"(2002) was the #1 Most Highest Rated Episode of the ENTIRE Series. This is a Fact.
X-Men: Evolution's Nightcrawler/Kurt Wagner was, and still is, peak character design for me.
its my personal fav of a modern xmen. I too love the og one, but this is also a good one too.
Rogue, Kitty, Nightcrawler, Cyclops, Jean & Wolverine (who refreshingly do NOT have a love triangle plot) are probably my faves on the show
I adored this show as a kid, it was the only X-Men media I ever really got into. I also had a huge crush on this version of Nightcrawler for the longest time 😂
…same
X-Men: Evolution deserves a revival more than X-Men: TAS. Evolution was cancelled just when it was about to tackle the Dark Phoenix Saga and this time Jean was going to be killed off permanently and replaced by Emma Frost as the "big sister" of the team. They were also going to introduce Deadpool and Psylocke.
Btw, Magneto here is voiced by Christopher Judge, the current voice of Kratos in God of War.
My second favorite X-men from my nostalgic childhood
Previously.
I legitimately saw this when I was undergoing puberty and I think a significant part of me liked that I was growing as a human and couldn't enjoy it if I saw the show at the age of five or seven. It was also one of the first inclinations that I wasn't straight by the fact that I actually caught myself staring at Cyclops more than once in scenes where his shirt was torn or off.
As a side note, I absolutely loved Nightcrawler in this show and I also loved the relationships he forms with Cyclops, Shadowcat, and Rogue. I also loved the crush/relationship between Shadowcat and Avalanche.
Remember watching this on Jetix back in the day every once in a while pretty cool just binged watched it once Disney plus started My generations version of x men pretty cool let's see if x men 97 is a great version ready for them to make there MCU debut
Saw a commercial for it once; since most of the scenes shown, from what I remember, were focused around Kitty and I think her voice was used as a voice over, I thought it was sorta like a Kim Possible meets As Told By Ginger, but X-Men flavored
I found this show late at night on Disney XD. One of my favorite versions of X Men
This was my introduction to X-Men.
Evolution was my introduction to X Men (and Marvel) so it'll always have a place in my heart!
I enjoyed the original series but this one was actually awesome for me. The characters were fun and I loved the story arcs. I really wish they had put X-23 in more episodes though.
To my knowledge they had a lot of stuff planned with X23 in fact if memory serves me right she was created at the tail end to avoid the cancellation of the show, I cannot confirm but the one thing I know for sure is that she was meant to appear on more episodes and eventually join the team
i loved x-men evolution being where i began to love the x-men(alongside the 90's one from marvel vs. capcom.:3) and remember a lot like rogue's moments(tied with the 90's version as my favorite.)/storm,spike & the villains and was to me what the animated series was to others back then(like for example what the batman was to the animated series imo.) and enjoy both as my favorite marvel cartoons alongside the spiderman cartoons.
The Sunrise Voices actors. Rip Beast and Cyclops.
This was the show that got me into X-Men as a kid. While other kids my age were waiting for their Hogwarts letters to arrive, I was waiting for my mutant powers to develop.
Magneto in this show is actually voiced by the same guy who does Kratos in God of War 2018 which is amazing
Looking back, this show is the first time I can remember a crossover with the greater Marvel universe. Magneto has found the device used to help Captain America's experiment because he wants to use it to bolster his powers. It cuts back to Logan teaming up with Cap in WWII.
This was years before Iron Man would even hint at an MCU. Years before Origins would explore the concept of Wolverine as a soldier through history. They deserve credit for that
Well, the 90s show did a story like that too with Logan remembering teaming up with Cap to fight the Red Skull during WWII. I liked how in both stories, they show that Logan and Steve were friends.
