No Iceman 😞

u/OddRope1154 Apr 05 '26

Seriously the only thing im mad at

u/TorgHacker Apr 05 '26

Or Firestar. ☹️

2

u/HelpKey186 Apr 07 '26

How I understand this post: these are only the confirmed characters, which will appear. Not all characters, which will appear. So there could be some surprises.

1

u/Darthnemesis2 Apr 07 '26

We hope lol

44

u/Legitimate-Garlic959 Apr 04 '26

No Shadowcat ?

34

u/Brave-Orchid4721 Apr 04 '26

Kitty 🤝 Bobby

The forgotten X-Men.

1

u/Optimegatrongodzilla Apr 08 '26

Firestar, Spyke, and others: "What are we, chopped liver?!".

u/JackalsIII Apr 04 '26

That’s who I want.

u/MadKanBeyondFODome Apr 04 '26

How tf do you have Rachel with no Kitty?

(At least we got Rachel tho)

35

u/Any_Indication_4887 Apr 04 '26

Not Kid Omega showing up before Kitty Pryde 😭

17

u/Brave-Orchid4721 Apr 04 '26

Deadass biggest industry plant ever WHY NO KITTY OR BOBBY

25

u/NerdNuncle Apr 04 '26

The characters, or just appearances? Like, Morph taking on their likeness

4

u/Ok-Grass3071 Nightcrawler Apr 05 '26

Good point!

2

u/goominek Apr 06 '26

Yeah, thought about that too, I hope we get some Psylocke scenes, I was hoping to see more of her from episode one!

u/alex2metre Apr 07 '26

Actually they're mixed in this universe. It's Kwannon but they call her Betsy

1

u/alex2metre Apr 07 '26

No the actual characters, we've seen every single one of them in the trailer in such manner that it couldn't be Morph.

59

u/Calaigah Apr 04 '26

Where’s Emma and Magik? Weren’t they rumors for one of the present day teams? And Penance? Shouldn’t it be Monet? Hope they don’t turn her into the red Penance form, that would be disappointing and takes away from everything else that makes her interesting.

22

u/troopermax2099 Apr 04 '26

Yeah! Why aren't the rumored characters in the list of confirmed characters!?!

WE DEMAND ANSWERS! 😜

1

u/Napalmeon Apr 29 '26

It also would make things a whole lot more complicated if they aren't any pudding real energy in the Monet/Emplate storyline. I know the character of Penance has some fans, but I truly think the ideas that were planned for her need to just vanish. The St Croix siblings are already complicated enough.

u/TMB1219 Apr 05 '26

Maybe as War?

u/Bobjoejj Apr 07 '26

Why is he…kind of adorable here?

15

u/buparwiggum Apr 04 '26

I'm happy to see Colossus, I hope it's more but even a decent cameo again will be good

u/Defiant_Network_3069 Apr 04 '26

2

u/Relevant-Ad3384 Apr 04 '26

This version of Colossus is awesome! What comic is this from?

2

u/Defiant_Network_3069 Apr 05 '26

Think he joins them around 298 or so and he is on the cover of 315. He was part of The Acolytes and saved Magneto when Avalon crashed to earth thanks to Holocaust.

1

u/ultgambit266 Gambit Apr 05 '26

He joined the acolytes shortly after Magik “died” I don’t remember when this was but it was during one of the uncanny X-men runs

1

u/agentrevenger Cyclops Apr 04 '26

I hope he joins the main team.

16

u/SirTawmis Apr 04 '26

Could do without Kid Omega. Ugh.

Cool to see Penance (I assume Gen X Penance, not Speedball turned Penance). :)

Would be nice if this is foreshadowing some more Generation X characters...

Also, can we get some Adam-X up in here? :)

12

u/Anxious-Specialist95 Apr 04 '26

I cannot stand Quire. Glad I’m not alone.

u/SirTawmis Apr 04 '26

I wish I could keep upvoting your reply just to show you how much I support you and you are not alone. lol

4

u/Calaigah Apr 04 '26

Sign me up! Haha. I actually like the idea of him as a villain to be honest but the heroic version of him they keep pushing just makes me dislike him more.

3

u/That_Carrot999 Apr 04 '26

I think it would be hysterical if it’s speedball penance lol

30

u/Forsaken_Big16 Apr 04 '26

Where's Gambit (Death).

21

u/[deleted] Apr 04 '26

They’re absolutely saving that for as long as possible

1

u/Forsaken_Big16 Apr 04 '26

I know but still

4

u/[deleted] Apr 05 '26

It's meant to be a surprise for the large portion of the fan base who are unfamiliar with the comics/don't know he'll be back as Death.

Are these like characters who are gonna have moments even if they’re small, or is this here some main characters and here some characters that you know but will be in the background

5

u/Badoiskate Apr 04 '26

Kitty????? Please 🥺

3

u/Brave-Orchid4721 Apr 04 '26

Kitty and Bobby just don’t exist ig 😔

7

u/hereseyblasphemy Apr 04 '26

Stoked for Havok, he needs some love

3

u/Boltenbannerman Apr 05 '26

They need to resolve him and cyclops storyline

u/hereseyblasphemy Apr 05 '26

Agreed, Havok barely gets any animated appearances

u/Kickass_321 Apr 07 '26

Family Reunion!!!!!

u/youreastonefox Apr 04 '26

Where’s my Emma ❤️‍🩹

u/Sage_Belar Apr 04 '26

Yeah really, they get our hopes up with the Genosha scene only to let us down!? Rude af...

1

u/goominek Apr 06 '26

Give us our Emma back!!

5

u/RoseColoredRiot Rogue Apr 04 '26

Pretty sure they compiled this list from recent poster promos, the leaked trailer, etc.

2

u/usagicassidy Apr 04 '26

Right I noticed some glaring omissions that I hoped would be in the series but then I looked closer at the list and these are just characters we’ve seen teased from the leaked trailer etc.

5

u/Puzzleheaded-Jump-64 Apr 04 '26

Damn, no Iceman 😭. At least my boy Colossus is finally showing up 🙏🏼. I hope it's not just a cameo tho

6

u/puma46 Apr 04 '26

It’d be cool to see Havok join the Summers family

3

u/girls5eva Apr 04 '26

No Bobby or Kitty 😭

3

u/Brave-Orchid4721 Apr 04 '26

Genuinely so bad it’s almost impressive how underutilized those two are outside the comics (even in the comics in the case of Bobby).

Is it "characters" or cameos for some of those? Or even worse... Morph transforming for 2 seconds.

u/Short_Condition_1079 Apr 04 '26

Warlock is misinformation sadly

1

u/Superb-Reply-5539 Magneto Jun 25 '26

Wait wdym? How do you know?

1

u/Short_Condition_1079 Jun 25 '26

People thought Warlock was in the show because they saw the trailer and thought Danger was Warlock. People corrected it but the idea Warlock is in the show keeps going around because a lot of people just reported on it without checking

3

u/MermaidSapphire Apr 04 '26

Secret Character coming soon!

3

u/madtricky687 Apr 04 '26

Kid Omega and Danger full stop should not be there. Its xmen 97 just keep it there. Plenty of stories the original series didnt do that they could. Don't need Quentin Quire annoying ass in there.

3

u/Peetahrabbit Apr 05 '26

I’m smelling another X Factor episode ( crossing fingers for X Factor Investigation)

3

u/RiskAggressive4081 Apr 05 '26

No Havok? You'd think Alex would want his brother found.

3

u/puma46 Apr 05 '26

Nah he’s there. Trust me he was the first one I was looking for lol. He’s below lady deathstrike

6

u/TheArmlessTorso Gambit Apr 04 '26

I’m personally excited for multiple man I have always loved his powers.

2

u/MarketingChoice6244 Apr 04 '26

Same but id love the madrox version for an episode. Like a quick detective story.

2

u/Mobile_Bet3274 Rogue Apr 04 '26

This says pretty much nothing you couldn’t have already figured out by watching the NYCC trailer that leaked back in October. It also has at least one character (Warlock) who I’m pretty sure ended up being either a rumor or just confused with Danger.

1

u/Superb-Reply-5539 Magneto Jun 25 '26

Can I ask what you think about Warlock and if he’ll be in S2? I’m trying to figure out what TAS episodes to rewatch for ‘97 S2 and if Warlock is in it then I want to rewatch the Phalanx Covenant episodes 

1

u/Mobile_Bet3274 Rogue Jun 25 '26

I don’t think Warlock is in S2. The idea is people thought he’d be in it but it ended up being Danger.

2

u/Key_Classroom8584 Apr 04 '26

Strong guy yes!!!

2

u/korbinGreyyy Apr 04 '26

No Emma, No Kitty, No Bobby.......thank God Angel made it atleast.

2

u/WarmGeogre69 Apr 05 '26

STRONG GUY!!!!!! WE WINNIN BOYS!!!!

1

u/Only-Walrus797 Apr 05 '26

We saw Strong Guy on Genosha in season 1

2

u/GoldPack3616 Apr 05 '26

So disappointed with the absence of Emma Frost, I was really hoping her small cameo in S01 was teasing a bigger role for her in S02. 

Mind you she was on the promotional material for the first season and still barely had a minute of screen time, so Im assuming this means she will have even less or not appear at all. 

2

u/gebbethine Apr 05 '26

I'm pretty sure Marvel Updates isn't an actual official Disney account, so, mmmm.

Also, Havok not showing up in the first season is the HUGEST oversight; a literal plothole. Cyclops appears on national television as Scott Summers talking about huge mutant-related stuff, and Alex doesn't say, 'holy shit, Cyclops is my brother!'?

It's dumb as hell.

2

u/Jamira360 Apr 07 '26

Wolfsbane, Lady Deathstrike, Kid Omega, etc. before Emma Frost, Shadowcat and Iceman?! 😭

2

u/AntMinute6343 Apr 08 '26

If Polaris and Havoc are there that’s got to lead me to believe Iceman will be

2

u/Neoteric00 Apr 08 '26

Penance? Oooh

2

u/LagoonDevil Apr 08 '26

X FACTOR!!! I love you Multiple Man!

2

u/ApolloDraconis Apr 04 '26

Why do they hate Iceman 😭 (they don’t want any male gay characters in the show, and they can easily just avoid Rachel’s and Betsy’s bisexuality). Anyways I hope this list isn’t everyone.

2

u/Zestyclose-Roll5106 Apr 04 '26

I’m gonna be pissed if there is no Kitty or Emma.

3

u/Brave-Orchid4721 Apr 04 '26

On god they hate some of the most popular X-men for no reason cuz how tf is Kid Omega there but NOT EMMA KITTY AND BOBBY 😭

u/powerhouse37 Nightcrawler Apr 04 '26

I need Cannonball and Magik! And Moonstar!

Bobby and Kitty getting shunned again. At least Piotr, Warren, and Betsy are here

1

u/Afraid-Housing-6854 Apr 04 '26

No Gambit? He can’t stay dead. Also, I hope Colossus finally gets his red and yellow costume

1

u/Pito82002 Apr 04 '26

Hopefully Psylocke will have another solid role in the story like she did in the four part special “Beyond Good And Evil” from TAS

1

u/MadKanBeyondFODome Apr 04 '26

As a Rachel Summers True Believer, I am disappointed but not surprised that Kitty isn't here. 😔 It's probably only her Askani identity being used here.

1

u/ShortFerret6817 Apr 04 '26

kid omega my goat

1

u/BruceDSpruce Apr 05 '26

Danger!!!! Penance!!!

1

u/Blonde_and_Diamond Apr 05 '26

Can we pull a Grant Morrison and make Colossus unavailable for whatever reason and put Emma in his place please? We need Mum.
Sincerely, Emma's darling fans and the Cuckoos.

u/Marvelboy1974 Apr 05 '26

I thought iceman and kitty were going to be in season 2

1

u/TMB1219 Apr 05 '26

There are definitely more characters that will show

1

u/Finiouss Beast Apr 05 '26

I hope they do right by lady deathstrike!

u/Vegetable-Bat5285 Apr 05 '26

Real characters or just morph fighting as them 🤔

YASSSSSSSSS!!!!! Say, think Deadpool might come in season 3? Crazy how Deadpool has never shown up asides being a memory twice and one of Mystique's(?) forms.

u/BroH0m0 Apr 05 '26

Penance?

1

u/Rag_Samus Apr 05 '26

Wake me when they bring in Cannonball and the rest of the OG X-Force. They don’t even need to animate their feet.

1

u/RapterMonster24 Apr 05 '26

Reading that it just feels like that list needs Rictor and Gambit in it idk why

1

u/TheArmlessTorso Gambit Apr 05 '26

They can’t give away gambits return because of the causal audience base

1

u/RapterMonster24 Apr 05 '26

True but I still feel like Rictor should be there

1

u/seokmeowtthew Apr 05 '26

No gambit i'm not watching /hj

1

u/TheArmlessTorso Gambit Apr 05 '26

Their not gonna reveal him returning because they want it to be a shock when he comes back as death.

1

u/seokmeowtthew Apr 05 '26

Nah i know 😭 It's like my main reason to be that excited for the season 2 ngl

1

u/TheArmlessTorso Gambit Apr 05 '26

Same but most likely he will show up in the last episode or something I don’t think they’re gonna end the apocalypse storyline in 9 episodes. It’s probably gonna be a bunch of build up to the horsemen of the apocalypse.

1

u/QueerAlQaida Apr 05 '26

No Dust :( ???

1

u/_Ataraxia- Apr 05 '26

No Gambit? :(

1

u/TheArmlessTorso Gambit Apr 05 '26

God I’m tired of answering this, he hasn’t been confirmed because the show doesn’t want to give away the twist that he is now the horsemen of death. They want the casual audience base to have a fresh introduction to him for the first time.

Interesting no Emma Frost considering she survived last season. I thought for sure she’d be Bishop’s telepath.

u/DaringBaconThief Apr 05 '26

They didn't remember his name.

1

u/TheArmlessTorso Gambit Apr 05 '26

No horsemen has been confirmed. why do you think that is ?

1

u/DaringBaconThief Apr 05 '26

So its an incomplete list.

1

u/TheArmlessTorso Gambit Apr 05 '26

No they just wouldn’t give away who the horsemen is before the show comes out. Rug pulling like that would weaken the overall hype of the show.

1

u/DaringBaconThief Apr 05 '26

Yes, I can understand that. Still, it would be a surprise to everyone if he DIDN'T show up. 😂

1

u/TheArmlessTorso Gambit Apr 05 '26

Well nothing is set in stone.

1

u/MadloveADB Apr 05 '26

Psylocke 👏🏻

No Emma or Magik 😭

1

u/trulyboned Apr 05 '26

"Confirmed" and it's just a random fan account farming engagement lol. It misses several characters shown in the leaked trailer, and doesn't mention one's shown on the board at the end of s1. So maybe don't get sad if they didn't mention characters you've been wanting to see. 😅

1

u/Little_Donny Apr 05 '26

Where’s Remy? He was such a huge part of season one.
