Storm and Cyclops return to continue the adventures of the incredible X-Men
Continuing the exploits of the mass of mutant-kind, X-Men ‘97 Season 1, picks up directly where X-Men: The Animated Series left off. Wise and revered, Professor Charles Xavier has been taken to the Shi’ar Empire for much-needed medical treatment. In his absence there is chaos. With open war between humans and mutants, many of the gifted superheroes have chosen Magneto as their leader. With Xavier gone, the master of magnetism faces up to Cyclops and the others as he tries to lead the X-Men with the blessing of his old friend. All the while the villain Mister Sinister emerges from the shadows.
