A direct continuation of the 1990s cartoon, picking up a year after the loss of Charles Xavier, with the same voices and the same theme.
It is not a reboot and not a homage. It resumes X-Men: The Animated Series where that show stopped, with the team running the school without its founder and Magneto arriving to claim a place in it, and it treats thirty years of absence as a gap in the story rather than as a reason to start over.
Ten episodes, Mister Sinister, Bastion and a new Sentinel programme, and an ending that scatters the team through time.
Show detailsWhere it sits
It belongs to the continuity of the 1992 cartoon, which is not the Fox film continuity and not the connected run. This catalogue files it as unbound for that reason.
It is also, by some distance, the best received thing in this part of the catalogue.
How it connects
Watching these first makes this one land.
This one sets these up.
