Strong Guy Watch: Let’s Tease X-Men ’97 Even More!
This weekend, we got another trailer for the upcoming second season of X-Men ’97. And it’s not so much a trailer as it is a who’s who of X-Characters who are going to appear this season! And we already knew this was happening, but how cool is it that both Strong Guy and Multiple Man get mentions?!
I can’t wait. The first season was one of the best TV shows of the past few years, and all the trailers for season 2 so far look amazing. It’s just so exciting that my favorite superhero, Multiple Man, gets to exist in an adaptation in the first place and not be a villain. And then he gets to exist in one of his greatest forms, the 1990s X-Factor form. That’s when I fell in love with the character, in large part due to that awesome trench coat costume! And then Strong Guy too!
The only shame is that we haven’t seen Iceman yet. You can’t imagine how cool it was for me as a kid to have both Iceman and Multiple Man in the same episode of the original series!
Season 2 of X-Men ’97 is coming to Disney+ on July 1.

It’s Not Gonna Get More Epic than This Trailer for Season 2 of X-Men ’97
I loved the first season of X-Men ’97! Holy cow that was an amazing show! And we got word this week that they’re already working on season four, so we should have plenty to love for a long time. But first, we gotta dive into season two, which looks suitably epic.
Jeez louise, people! What an epic trailer! The music, the grandeur, the glimpses of X-Men and mutants and characters and time periods of just so much everything else! So much to love! So much to get exited about!
We already know the season will feature more Multiple Man and Strong Guy, so that makes me personally happy. But we haven’t seen hide nor hair of Iceman. That’s a bummer. Anyway, can’t wait to see what happens!
X-Men ’97 will return to Disney+ on July 1.

6 Thoughts on the First Season of X-Men ’97
I mean, jeez louis, people. What an intense and amazing two months this has been. My expectations were very tempered when this show was first announced, and then we go those first few trailers. But from episode one, I have been hooked and completely on board with this insane idea that worked far, far better than it had any right to work.
TV Show Rating: 10/10 – Fantastic
I was a huge fan of the original X-Men Animated Series when it came out in the 1990s. I was the perfect age for it and was already solidly versed with the comics — though not the comics that were current at the time. The show introduced me to characters like Gambit, Rogue and Jubilee, and then so much more beyond them. The original show was everything. And now this new continuation is everything again. It’s so damn good. They did everything right and then some. X-Men ’97 is so good, I wonder if it will affect the MCU plans for the X-Men going forward…
Anyway, the finale aired yesterday and I’m ready to talk about the show! Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole show. Seriously! DO NOT READ THIS LIST if you haven’t watched X-Men ’97! But if you have, join me after the jump for my thoughts! And please feel free to share your thoughts and review in the comments below!
