It’s been over a year since the season one finale of X-Men ’97, and it remains one of the best Disney+ Marvel Television series to date. We are still probably a year away from the second season dropping on Disney+, but we’ve now learned that two very iconic X-Men members were slated to join the team in the season one finale. Via Comic Book Movie, we’ve learned that a post on social media from former X-Men ’97 showrunner Beau DeMayo confirmed the finale would have ended with the introduction of iconic mutants Shadowcat (Kitty Pryde) and Colossus. This would have been the first appearance ever of Kitty Pryde in this animated universe.
In the finale of X-Men ’97 that viewers saw, the X-Men became scattered throughout time. Some members are in the distant future, with others trapped in ancient Egypt. Some, like Wolverine, are in an unknown time period. In 1997, Forge believed he could rescue the X-Men. So he recruits Bishop on a time-traveling journey to rescue the mutant heroes. In this original version, Shadowcat and Colossus would have appeared instead. Kitty would have even appeared with her trusty pet dragon, Lockheed. In the finale as aired, we do see their faces on a corkboard as potential recruits but they never actually show up. In the alternate plan, they fly in from England, which suggests they are part of the British mutant team Excalibur, and Kitty was once an X-Man.
Hopefully, we see Kitty and Piotr become X-Men in the second season. Both characters are among the most iconic X-Men ever in the pages of Marvel Comics. Yet, Colossus only appeared twice in the classic X-Men: The Animated Series, and never formally joined the team. And as we mentioned, Kitty never appeared at all, with Jubilee functionally taking her place on the team roster. Her only cartoon appearance was in the original 1989 “Pryde of the X-Men” pilot. The two characters are famously a couple in the comics. Or at least they were for years. So maybe we could see that romance blossom in X-Men ’97 season two. Here’s hoping these two legendary mutants finally make the cut.
