Season 2 picks up the mutants' story after the events of the first season of X-Men ’97. The X-Men are now scattered across different eras and must figure out how to get back home. Meanwhile, in the 1990s, new enemies surface and intolerance toward mutants intensifies in the wake of their disappearance.

The series preserves its direct link to the 1990s animated universe, expanding its characters and visual language while shaping a storyline for today’s Disney+ audience. X-Men ’97 is mainly geared toward fans of Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm, Wolverine, Rogue, Magneto and Professor X, but it can also serve as an entry point for Disney+ subscribers who follow Marvel’s animated offerings.
