Deadpool, Wolverine, and Colossus in X-Men ’97: A New Chapter for Marvel’s Mutants

The news of X-Men ’97, a sequel of the most loved animated series of the 90s, has created a lot of hustle about the incorporation or number of characters like that of Deadpool, Wolverine, and Colossus. This revival uniquely offers the original creators an opportunity to connect the classic story with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, creating other character dynamics and plot arcs proving grounds.

Will Deadpool Be in X-MEN ’97

One of Marvel’s most cherished and offbeat heroes these days is Deadpool, aka Wade Wilson. His irreverent humour and fourth-wall breaking antics would give the anime stylings of X-Men ’97 a comedic edge. Since it’s a character not included in the original animation from 90s, his addition can bring along a totally whole different complexity in the show and provide comic relief against the seriousness of the X-Men.

Wolverine: The Lone Wolf Returns

Wolverine, or Logan, is one of the staple characters of the X-Men series. The rough character and tragic background he has, combined with his indestructible adamantium skeleton, make him one of the paramount characters. Viewers can expect X-Men ’97 to reveal more of Wolverine‘s internal battles and his fierce loyalty to friends. The series may unveil new aspects regarding his past, his connections with other mutants, and his ever-undying struggle with inner demons and outer threats.

Colossus: The Gentle Giant

Another such lovable character is Colossus, or Piotr “Peter” Rasputin, who not only brings physical strength to the X-Men team but also a gentle, artistic soul. His body transformations into organic steel make him the moral compass within the group. In X-men ’97, Colossus would integrate very well between the dynamics of the old teams and the new storylines. It’ll be great seeing him mentor the young mutants, as well as have an unbreakable spirit on full display.

Deadpool, Wolverine, and Team Dynamics with Colossus

Such cross-referenced relations of the characters make the most tantalising aspect of putting Deadpool, Wolverine, and Colossus into X-Men ’97. In the comics, and to some extent in the recent movies, there is a unique kinship between Deadpool and Colossus. Usually, Colossus plays the mentor to the reluctant Deadpool, trying to counsel him into being a true hero and responsible being. Actually, the dynamic between the two is very humorous and poignant, pointing out the crazy nature of Deadpool against the steady discipline of Colossus.

Here, the plot thickens with Wolverine. On an interpersonal level, he has some kind of relation with the both – Deadpool and Colossus. Enough said, Wolverine and Deadpool just co-exist in a contrived and uneasy tension between throw-downs, peace and other ridiculousness. Actions and humour will combine with their lightly comic disputations that generally leave Wolverine unimpressed. The basic respect Wolverine has for Colossus’s strength and integrity is definitely a solid foundation which matters in regards to teamwork and mutual support.

What Can We Expect from X-Men ’97

X-Men ’97 would enable different storylines that play off the strengths and weaknesses of these characters. For example, in Deadpool’s quest for continued acceptance while fighting his demons from his past, Wolverine could have another storyline of redemption. He can accentuate Colossus’s protector/mentor role. We might see him moulding the younger mutants and trying to keep the team together.

Themes such as identity, redemption, and wrestling with prejudice are at the centre of all such X-Men stories. The series is able to look at those themes from differing perspectives with the addition of Deadpool, Wolverine, and Colossus. The irreverence of Deadpool can work to change the norms that do not seem fair, the quest for purpose in the life of Wolverine can work as an inspirational force to go on, and the unwavering morality of Colossus can act as a beacon.

Adding Wolverine, Deadpool, and Colossus will elevate the storyline for the production of X-Men ’97: The Revived Animated Show by varying more character interactive ways and some pretty interesting storylines. It will also be a blast to watch how these legendary mutants deal with their dark past, come together in new team ups, and fight for a cause in a world that fears these mutants and does not understand them. X-Men ’97 – an electrifying spin to be added to the mix of humour, action, and heartfelt stories in the Marvel Universe.
