The bigger thing people are overlooking is that the Onslaught saga originally lead into Heroes Reborn, which they could be updating to bring the X-Men into the MCU. Together with Secret Wars, we’re now heading for two stories that conclude with soft resets and it’s a perfect opportunity for them to repurpose Franklin’s pocket universe, and it would explain why Disney recently added TAS/97 to their Multiverse section on +. I’m kind of hopeful this is the direction they’ll go as we really don’t need yet another retelling of established stories both covered by TAS and the Fox films, and it would resolve the issue of characters who should have existed in the main continuity already (Magneto).
@@dishansinghmehta8891 That's exactly my point. Secret Wars will close the multiverse saga and an Onslaught/Heroes Reborn story in '97 could see mutants "revived" into the mainline MCU continuity out of whatever pocket universe they end up in - otherwise we'll see both TAS and the MCU go through individual resets at roughly the same time that retain their own separate continuities, which is just kind of weird. Dropping mutants directly into the MCU would also create the exact kind of chaos needed to set up Avengers vs X-Men.
@@shaun10767 DeMayo said that TAS is it's own thing, but Feige's also stated that there were considerations to add it to the MCU and as of last month it's officially a part of the Multiversal Saga (despite supposedly being set outside of it, as claimed). Disney is doing a lot of reshuffling with their MCU plans right now, so it isn't outside the realm of probability that they've changed their original plans - especially as 97's one of their most successful productions in recent memory.
at this point, im perfectly fine with leaving the xmen out the MCU. xmen97 is on par with early MCU and infinity war in quality but i dont trust them now to not fuck this up. im fine if going forward they used more animation and started reviving some of the old cartoons from the 90s
If there is one thing to understand with X-Men lore, is that whenever there is a change in the flow of Time there is always, Apocalypse. He is the inevitability, the always, the forever constant. Where there is a beginning, there is end. Apocalypse is the end game.
Cabe's son became the acolyte of Apocalypse who is dubbed Genesis, Genesis kidnapped Wolverine and tried to forcibly bond adamantium to Wolverine before starting the process of converting Wolverine into a Horsemen, Wolverine's body began rejecting the metal this rejection caused Wolverine's body & mind to "devolve" into a completely feral state.
How about Cyclops as the last horseman? - Clearly pissed at / feels betrayed by Professor Xavier already - Also lost a good friend in Gambit - We know in the comics he has proper villain potential. - Scott getting the Phoenix Force could be how Apocalypse gets taken out.
Operation Zero Tolerance was just the beginning because Onslaught's arrival shook the foundation of Marvel Comics which led to its rebirth in the 2000s. I think Apocalypse will revive Gambit as the horseman of death. Plus, Wolverine will go into his feral state.
Wolverine didn't go "noseless" or feral until after Tyler tried to bond adamantium back onto his skeleton. The adamantium came from Cybers skin. Wolverine rejected it and went feral. I've heard SOOO MANY people get this wrong...
I haven’t watched the show yet. Are they sticking to the comics. I remember that comic didn’t some Beetles 🪲 eat it off Cybers skin. I was so confused when Wolverine’s face looked as if he was hit with a shovel and his nose was just gone & his hair and head became bigger than his whole body 😂😂😂
You are completely right. I have the original books and have had them since they were released. Wolverine also diced up Genesis pretty good if I remember correctly and cable forgave him for it.
I was going to say, how has nobody mentioned Sunspot? This is what I was searching for in the comment section and I think you’re right. Wolverine, Gambit, Rogue, and Sunspot would be my 4 picks.
Rob for president! I've really enjoyed your on camera presence with this new setup with the table the mic and the posters man! It gives the old school news/super important historical interview vibes
rob, thank you very much for posting this. not for any revelation of the future, but you seam like you are looking to be done soon. so we appreciate everyone of your videos.
I think it would be more likely that Gambit would be Death and Wolverine would be War. If even fits with their characters. Wolverine lives and breaths war (having lived through so many of them). And Gambit was literally brought back from Death to kill people. Not to mention the vision Professor X had of Gambit as death.
Something I'd find intriguing is if they kept the 4th horseman a mystery through most of it, with Apocalypse only alluding to them being active. Only after some time we learn that he had used his influence over Mister Sinister to turn him into the Horseman of Pestilence, and had used his abilities to work towards a major plot point. That would cause the remaining X-Men to question this alliance with their former enemy, giving their enemies an opening to strike, so things can get _really_ desperate.
Folks tend to forget that it was in Wolverine issue 100 when Wolvie lost his nose and went feral. He was captured by Genesis and was forced to go through the adamantium bonding process again, the second go-around, however, his body rejected the metal turning him into his feral state.
The fourth horseman would be Cable. It makes sense, because Sinister controls him. Apocalypse could make a deal with Sinister or just simply attempt to take him. It's also kind of poetic. Cable and Apocalypse have been mortal enemies for decades. How pleasurable would it be for Apocalypse to have his most hated enemy in his thrall?
they have been showing so many different off screen villians and heroes in 97'(especially that last episode) that I think it may be: -Archangel(classic) -Lady Death Strike, -Omega Red -or Psylocke ...one of these 4 might be the 4th Horsemen.
I wonder what Mister Sinister’s angle will be in all of this. Even when exploded into tiny pieces, Sinister always finds a way to return both in the show and the comics. Sinister reminds me of Littlefinger a bit, always pulling the strings from behind the scenes.
With X-men 97, I for one, cannot wait for the Age of Apocalypse arc, seeing Rogue and Sunspot immediately go off with Magneto, gave me anticipatory goose bumps, that and I am a bit of an Age Of Apocalypse Morph Fan.
Basically, Gambit will have his Omega-level mutant abilities. When brought back as death. Logan didnt really loose his nose, its more of a facial representation of the stone-age mans face, or a wolverine-type nose, one of those two,, it was just smooshed down, he still had a nose.
I think the reason Wolverine looses sanity might be due to his regeneration.His healing works 24/7 due to adamantine poisoning and now that adamantine bones are no more but the healing still works the same way.
Apocalypse showing up at the end of the season would be great. They've been teasing him in the opening credits. I hope they do have Rogue, Gambit and Wolverine as Horsemen. I think Magneto or Banshee would be a good candidate
Also, it’s very likely Juggernaught was released as well from confinement. But I think he’ll take pity for the death of the mutants on Genosha and begin his journey to becoming an ally, slowly putting his feud with Xavier to rest.
I know it might be a lot to ask but I would really like to see Bobby Drake as the fourth horseman. He's one of my favorite characters and he just needs to be front and center in my opinion.
Rob while I get where you are going with Rogue. There is no way they pass up the dynamic set where Rogue meets up with a horseman Gambit and has to snap him out of it. Remember gambit died never knowing she chose him and that’s got to be resolved.
The Onslaught story arc was after I stopped reading comics... Never heard of it. I really only read my sister's comics who was 5 years older and moved to Cali when she became an adult. This was a few decades ago.
Pryor takes Polaris's place as Pestilence. Her body is still missing and has the most drama attached if she comee back. Rogue fighting Gambit has more story potential too.
I knew Onslaught was coming at the beginning of the series. It just seemed obvious to me. I also believed that Apocalypse is coming when I saw Angel turn into Archangel and Gambits death. I can't believe they would really end him like that. He'll be a Horseman.
We are getting age of apocalypse. Some of the people who are writers and animators also worked on wolverine and the X-Men. They had their season 3 cancelled script leak and they had plans for all major comic events about mutants like house of me is for extinction, and age of apocalypse. They also worked on the og how and other marvel animations before that. Being they are back I feel we'll see age of apocalypse and house of m. House of m being the major event. They said in interviews about the cancelled wolverine show using house of m as the last big major event in the show after age of apocalypse which to me implies they might have done a reverse house of m, finally fixing everything or mostly.
My wishlist of the ending of X-Men 97 season 1 the X-Men are trying to rebuild the mansion and out of nowhere the Juggernaut slams into the ground & says Onslaught is coming!!
Gambit: Death Wolverine: War Rogue: Famine Polaris: Pestilence ( just to give some kind of motivation for Magneto if he isn’t in a coma or something by Xavier)
Im glad Rob also confirmed with what i was thinking and saw what i was seeing too as i was scouring for information on what happened to Wolverine beyond what we saw in Episode 9. In that Warverine is coming. Makes sense from a mutant standpoint rather than just using Hulk or Gambit's iteration of War. Also i am curious if Apocalypse would have Fabian's mutant power considering he is using his body This is not to take away from the video just nice that we both have the same hunch
Gambit- Death Wolverine- War Madalyn Pryor- Famine Shaw- Pestilence This forces rouge to recruit Angel, Mystique, and nightcrawler to help face the horseman. While Jean, Scott, and EmmaFrost work together to cause more crap
I’d like for them to go with different villains if anything. I’d love to see Cassandra Nova. Love what they’ve done with Sinister and him being a ‘team player’ for his own ends. But would love to see lesser characters brought out.
"Join me and I will give you your former thiccness back..." It would actually be a ridiculous bit if they did that or just drew her more like that as a horseman
Rob: If emotions were logical they wouldn’t be called emotions, they’d be called logicals. Me, laughing: Everybody needs money, THAT'S WHY WE CALL IT MONEY!
Gambit & Wolverine are already a lock-in for the 4H. Storm isn't a surprise either since we saw her as a villain in the movies. Surprised with Morph though but it does give his character a bigger role to play. I think this batch of 4H is pretty strong.
I think the real "stick it to them" move would be to bring back Madilyn Prior, extremely Infernalized, devastating Scott and seriously twisting up Jean.
Hey Rob! So online, people think Wolverine is more OP with his Adamantium gone……and I know his healing is def better, and he’s maybe more agile with the loss of weight, but I feel there’s no way he’s more OP without his indestructible metal. I think maybe he’s more unhinged for sure, but nothing his berserker rage with Adamantium isn’t…just without it lol I think he can do WAY more damage essentially with the ADMTM
Hey Rob... I personally think the deal with the devil that Rogue is going to make with Apocalypse isn't to get new "powers" but to have Gambit back. Why? Well let's face it she's honestly strong enough to take down all the X-Men by herself. what she can't do however is bring a loved one back from the dead. Which is what she ultimately truly desires... So I think Gambit coming back but his personality will be radically changed into that of something I can do a sociopath incapable of real human emotion. That and I can honestly see Cable becoming a horseman of a Apocalipsis as a way of stopping Bastion.
Two mutants who had probably been lowkey in Genosha that Apocalypse will resurrect is Warren Worthington Arcangel and Bobby Iceman. So Gambit, Iceman, and probably Wolverine. It's cool too because you need the spiderman connection with iceman and What a way to pit two of the OGs and Gambit against Xavier's kids than to side with Apocalypse.
Apocalypse is without a doubt the next Season of the show. As for Onslaught while I would like that, I feel like, and honestly hope, that they do new shows on the other 90s Marvel Cartoons like Spider-Man, Hulk, Avengers and the Fantastic 4. Nothing as large as multiple seasons for each, but imagine a Season of Spider-Man that goes a little more dark and serious like '97. A Hulk series that does Hulk justice for once, and an honest to god good version of the Fantastic 4 for once. Then you do Onslaught and Heroes Reborn and everything that follows. Forget about the MCU, make the Marvel Animated Universe.
I am putting my chips on morph, with how hes been written so far i could see him being the thrid instead of rouge so her delima when she sees gambit back from the dead would lead to a whole lot of crazy.
It’s a nice bunch. Although, there’s one who I would love to see debut. Someone who was ancient whilst En Sabar Nur was taking his first steps. The dark entity that invented the theme party in 15,000 BC. The entity that devoured Steve Rogers, trolls everyone and is second only to Apocalypse on the Externals… The Dynamic Dominatrix herself; Selene!

So at the show's actual pacing, Apocalypse by episode 3 of season 2, Onslaught by episode 5, then it's on to some other plot.
It's not making it that far.

Bishop getting snatched like Morph from the original series. Interesting
Gambit with new son power’s can’t be stopped unless Rogue breaks him out of Apocalypse’s influence and he decides to stop.
Came back here after watching the finale.... YOU FUCKING CALLED IT ROB.
THATS WHY YOU DA GOAT...... DA GOAT!!!!!
😂😂😂
I predict the interactions with Apocalypse past & future cause the arrival of Onslaught.
Basically, Gambit will have his Omega-level mutant abilities. When brought back as death. Logan didnt really loose his nose, its more of a facial representation of the stone-age mans face, or a wolverine-type nose, one of those two,, it was just smooshed down, he still had a nose.
Cyclops could also be a horseman judging by his growing disdain, and it’ll be amazing if this happens
I think the reason Wolverine looses sanity might be due to his regeneration.His healing works 24/7 due to adamantine poisoning and now that adamantine bones are no more but the healing still works the same way.
I think it's great that Onslaught will soon get his time to shine in the tv show. I honestly think Onslaught was one of Marvel's underrated villains
watching this after watching the episode just proves that you don't miss.
It always impressed me how wolverine easily defeated sabertooth without adamantium but his reward... was to have the adamantium placed back into him.
Apocalypse showing up at the end of the season would be great. They've been teasing him in the opening credits. I hope they do have Rogue, Gambit and Wolverine as Horsemen. I think Magneto or Banshee would be a good candidate
Here’s my list of new Horsemen
Gambit-Death
Wolverine-War
Goblin Queen-Plague
Mr. Sinister-Famine
3 of the 4Horsemen would probably be:
Death - Gambit
War - Wolverine
Pestilence - Rogue
I’m stumped on the fourth one (Famine) tbh
Never thought I'd hear a "Heroes" reference in 2024. Hiro Nakamura was my guy
When Magneto did his EMP in the atmosphere, Omega Red's tube shutdown.. could be he shows up.
And kill rather than just wrapping his coils around people. 😂
Also, it’s very likely Juggernaught was released as well from confinement. But I think he’ll take pity for the death of the mutants on Genosha and begin his journey to becoming an ally, slowly putting his feud with Xavier to rest.

I’d like for them to go with different villains if anything. I’d love to see Cassandra Nova. Love what they’ve done with Sinister and him being a ‘team player’ for his own ends. But would love to see lesser characters brought out.
You made this entire video just to show that one shot of Rogue looking at Apocalypse
"Join me and I will give you your former thiccness back..."
It would actually be a ridiculous bit if they did that or just drew her more like that as a horseman
Rob: If emotions were logical they wouldn’t be called emotions, they’d be called logicals.
Me, laughing: Everybody needs money, THAT'S WHY WE CALL IT MONEY!
Gambit & Wolverine are already a lock-in for the 4H.
Storm isn't a surprise either since we saw her as a villain in the movies.
Surprised with Morph though but it does give his character a bigger role to play.
I think this batch of 4H is pretty strong.
Episode 10 - 11/10...
I think the real "stick it to them" move would be to bring back Madilyn Prior, extremely Infernalized, devastating Scott and seriously twisting up Jean.
Pulled out the Rolla-Dex reference. God am I old lol
Hey Rob! So online, people think Wolverine is more OP with his Adamantium gone……and I know his healing is def better, and he’s maybe more agile with the loss of weight, but I feel there’s no way he’s more OP without his indestructible metal. I think maybe he’s more unhinged for sure, but nothing his berserker rage with Adamantium isn’t…just without it lol I think he can do WAY more damage essentially with the ADMTM
Hey Rob... I personally think the deal with the devil that Rogue is going to make with Apocalypse isn't to get new "powers" but to have Gambit back. Why? Well let's face it she's honestly strong enough to take down all the X-Men by herself. what she can't do however is bring a loved one back from the dead. Which is what she ultimately truly desires...
So I think Gambit coming back but his personality will be radically changed into that of something I can do a sociopath incapable of real human emotion. That and I can honestly see Cable becoming a horseman of a Apocalipsis as a way of stopping Bastion.
Two mutants who had probably been lowkey in Genosha that Apocalypse will resurrect is Warren Worthington Arcangel and Bobby Iceman. So Gambit, Iceman, and probably Wolverine. It's cool too because you need the spiderman connection with iceman and What a way to pit two of the OGs and Gambit against Xavier's kids than to side with Apocalypse.
Wow ! I loved your prediction. No spoilers but good job. Can't wait to see what happens in season 2.
Here's a fun hot take...Professor Xavier as the 4th
Apocalypse is without a doubt the next Season of the show. As for Onslaught while I would like that, I feel like, and honestly hope, that they do new shows on the other 90s Marvel Cartoons like Spider-Man, Hulk, Avengers and the Fantastic 4. Nothing as large as multiple seasons for each, but imagine a Season of Spider-Man that goes a little more dark and serious like '97. A Hulk series that does Hulk justice for once, and an honest to god good version of the Fantastic 4 for once. Then you do Onslaught and Heroes Reborn and everything that follows. Forget about the MCU, make the Marvel Animated Universe.
I am putting my chips on morph, with how hes been written so far i could see him being the thrid instead of rouge so her delima when she sees gambit back from the dead would lead to a whole lot of crazy.
i love how xmen97 is respecting the source and using the comics for story telling
It’s a nice bunch.
Although, there’s one who I would love to see debut.
Someone who was ancient whilst En Sabar Nur was taking his first steps.
The dark entity that invented the theme party in 15,000 BC.
The entity that devoured Steve Rogers, trolls everyone and is second only to Apocalypse on the Externals…
The Dynamic Dominatrix herself; Selene!
I remember onslaught from marvel vs capcom 1 years ago
If Apocalypse rolling up with gambit hed just have gambit extend his hand, no words needed.
The fourth horseman is obviously Papa John. Dude ate 40 pizzas in 30 days.
how this hasnt been voted up is wild.
