One of the key things about the show is that it will be connected directly to the series many Marvel fans know and loved from the ’90s. Series writer and executive producer Beau DeMayo was on hand to reveal which members of the team will be coming back for “X-Men ’97,” in addition to giving a glimpse at the artwork.

As we can see, we’ve got Rogue, Beast, Gambit, Jean, Wolverine, Storm, Jubilee, and Cyclops. Of note, Storm is rocking a new hairstyle and Jubilee has been given a pretty significant update as well, though the outfit is going to be largely the same. But that’s not all!

It was also revealed that Nightcrawler, Cable, Bishop, Morph, Forge, and Sunspot are getting in on the action as well. While Nightcrawler is a popular character, he didn’t make the cut the first time around, nor did Sunspot. Are we going to get some “New Mutants” action going on here, perhaps? They already confirmed “X-Men ’97” season 2 at the panel, so a spin-off wouldn’t be out of line.
