X-Men Evolution
from Comics Continuum 7/26/2000

X-Men: Evolution, the new animated series, is being targeted to begin Saturday, Nov. 4 on the Kids' WB!.

Tentative plans are for five new episodes to run starting on Nov. 4, followed by the rest of the first-season's new episodes likely during the February and May sweeps next year.

X-Men: Evolution will air at 11:30 a.m. (ET) on Saturdays on Kids' WB!

Marvel carried a poster for the series at its booth at the Comic-Con International in San Diego. It featured Professor Xavier, Jean Grey, Cyclops, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Rogue and Storm on the front.

Here's how the TV series is described on the back of the poster:

"X-Men: Evolution, based on the popular Marvel Comics band of superheroes, is the story of a small group of adolescents who have reached puberty and are uncertain and frightened by the changes overtaking their bodies. They are the world's new mutants โค| and Professor Charles Xavier is the one man who can identify them, train them to control their special abilities and unite them to defend the Earth. The series will include a new character and follow the six teens whose powers are entwined with personal weaknesses they must overcome. Bound together by strangeness, they join forces to defend a world that fears them โค| this is the dawn of X-Men."

The new character is Spyke, a mutant whose powers are similar to those of Marrow from the comics.

Rick Ungar and Avi Arad are listed as executive producers, with Boyd Kirkland as producer. The series is a co-production of Marvel and Film Roman.

The back of the poster featured mug shots of the previously mentioned characters, as well as Kitty Pryde, Mystique, Toad and Sabretooth.
