Muffin Man!!! Cyclops was a main character. Ice man was on several episodes. He was only on one episode of the 90's toon.. he was pretty cool (no pun intended)
Be grateful you didn't watch some of the 80's X-Men translations. The team consisted of Cyclops, Colossus, Dazzler, Kitty Pryde, Storm, and Wolverine, and some of their interpretations were laughable (ironically, Stan Lee was part of the production).
Some problems I had included White Queen able to fly and throw a projectile spear (this was also shown in the X-Men PC game during that time) that I do not necessarily think was a psychic bolt, and different personalities of characters (i.e. Wolverine had an stereotypical Australian accent and even called people including Toad dingo).
X-Men Evolution embodied everything that disgusts me about the direction the X-Men attempted to take. Granted, their roots were in their teenage years but to unleash upon us yet ANOTHER version of what I call the Dawson's Creek/Seventh Heaven hydra was without a doubt one of Marvel's worst undertakings. A fresh perspective? I don't think so. The show was generated to capitalize off other shows that screamed " TEENAGE ANGST ". Yes, it's a cartoon show and was most likely meant for the demographic of 7-15 year olds but it hardly matched the strength and complexity of the early 90's series which wasn't at all that great of a show -- but didn't rely heavily on relating to Gothic and Depressed teenagers. I give Evolution a 6 1/2 for effort. While it was overtly dripping with a teenage theme -- it still tried to stick to the principles of the X-Men line. That change is coming....for better or worse.
P.S. ALL the voices in the 90's cartoon show were ten times better than those of the ones in Evolution. ESPECIALLY Cal Dodd's voice who played Wolverine. I'm GLAD Evolution was canceled.

X-men evolution was too much of a high school soap opera.
90's X-men was much better, it had alot more action and did a pretty good job of re-telling some of the best comic stories. There were a few episodes that were lousy, but for the most part it was a good show.

But Apoc was alot more powerful on Evolution than he was on the 90's Xmen right...come guys get me at least that for the love of god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was. There has always been an overabundance of drama when concerning the ongoings of the X-Men. But to add that with the current state of teenage mentality which is often oversexed and depressed just annoyed me. The series had, to say the least, an interesting view of the X-Men but was lacking overall in the depth that the 90's series gleaned from the 90's Claremont & Lee era comics. Evolution reminds me of the travesty that is TEEN TITANS. I'm sorry but I don't get the appeal of the characters being BLENDED with lack luster humor of gaudy anime. Unlike Batman the Animated Series, Superman, Justice League etc...Teen Titan's has no real strength when concerning their stories. It's all mindless babble that misrepresents the overall appeal the comic book characters have to offer. If I could get that show canceled....I really would.

Heh. I just believe that everything created in reference to comics should at least play some pivotal role in maintaining the perspective that was originally set forth. I personally believe that Evolution nor Teen Titans could do that on a WHOLE. The state of mind for each show comes off as really immature. Not to say that a series on TEENAGERS would hold a great deal of maturity but the development of the shows seem particularly condescending.
No doubt man. Justice League is probably one of if not the BEST animated series based on comics today. It comes in a close second to Batman the Animated series from 92'.
