The Heroes Suit-Up In New Costumes In Clip From This Week’s Penultimate Season 1 Episode

There’s only two more episodes of X-Men ’97 to go, and Marvel Studios has released a clip from tomorrow’s penultimate season 1 chapter, “Tolerance is Extinction – Part 2.”

The preview finds our mutant heroes suiting-up in new costumes for their impending battle with Bastion and his forces.

The outfits are a mixture of the team’s classic looks (Jean Grey’s original Marvel Girl suit, for example), and the costumes they wore in the pages of The Uncanny X-Men. The clip also sees Jubilee burn Roberto DaCosta’s business card, so Sunspot must have decided not to join the fight.

Former showrunner Beau DeMayo hinted at the costume change when he shared the unused pilot for Pryde of the X-Men earlier today.

DeMayo was also asked if he’s ever heard any talk of adding Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat to the X-Men ’97 roster.

“I haven’t, but my suspicion is Jubilee and Kitty slightly compete in terms of their age and POV on the team. There’s a way to do it, but you’d likely have to come in on an older version of Kitty.”

The show has already been renewed for a second season, and Marvel is said to be planning many more, so there’s a good chance we will see Kitty – and many more characters besides – make their debuts at some point.

Check out the new clip below, and let us know how you think the final two episodes are going to go in the comments section.

X-Men ’97‘s voice cast includes Ray Chase as Cyclops, Jennifer Hale as Jean Grey, Alison Sealy-Smith as Storm, Cal Dodd as Wolverine, JP Karliak as Morph, Lenore Zann as Rogue, George Buza as Beast, AJ LoCascio as Gambit, Holly Chou as Jubilee, Isaac Robinson-Smith as Bishop, Matthew Waterson as Magneto and Adrian Hough as Nightcrawler.

DeMayo, who was recently fired, serves as head writer, while episodes are directed by Jake Castorena, Chase Conley and Emi Yonemura. Brad Winderbaum, Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso and DeMayo executive produce.
