Product Description
In a world that hates and fears them, several mutants (humans who are born with unique powers and abilities) have banded together to fight the hatred, and eventually fight for their very lives. Under the tutelage of Professor Xavier, the most powerful telepath on the planet, they learn to master their powers. Cyclops, the team leader, can shoot laser beams from his eyes. The rebellious and feral Wolverine can heal himself and has metal claws. Jean Grey is a telekinetic and telepath. Rogue has super-strength and the ability to fly, but can never touch another human being. The eloquent Storm can control the weather. The Cajun thief Gambit can charge any object with kinetic energy… making the smallest objects powerful bombs. The Beast has superhuman intelligence, agility, and has a body covered with blue fur. Jubilee is the new girl, a confused teenager with the ability to shoot plasma from her fingertips. Together they form the X-Men, fighting mutants like Magneto and Mystique, as well as stopping hate-mongers like Graydon Creed, Henry Guyrich, and Senator Kelley.
Animated TV Was Best In The 90’s,

Finally, fans of this show can own the classic episodes we grew up on and enjoyed. It’s amazing to me how much more realisticly they tried to ground television series back then. This show imparticular went out of it’s way to stick true to the comics it was based on, several major storylines were told in multi-part episodes too which is something I don’t see as much anymore. I’m sure any fan will love this second volume as it contains the amazing Dark Pheonix storyline. They tried to pull it off in ‘X3: The Last Stand’, and though I enjoyed it, for me they didn’t manage to top the five parter that told the saga in this animated series. Episodes on this 2 disc volume include:
Red Dawn
Repo Man
X-Ternally Yours
Time Fugitives (Part 1)
Time Fugitives (Part 2)
A Rogue’s Tale
Beauty & The Beast
Mojo Vision
Reunion (Part 1)
Reunion (Part 2)
Out of the Past (Part 1)
Out of the Past (Part 2)
The Phoenix Saga (Part 1): Sacrifice
The Phoenix Saga (Part 2): The Dark Shroud
The Phoenix Saga (Part 3): Cry of the Banshee
The Phoenix Saga (Part 4): The Starjammers
The Phoenix Saga (Part 5): Child of Light
Any X-Men fan will enjoy this along with anyone who likes well told animated stories with complex and deep themes to them. There are no special features on this DVD but for now I’m just glad they are releasing this series and let’s hope they finish releasing the entire 76 episodes this way (hopefully later on with some special features included). After all this time X-Men finally rises from the ashes and is reborn on an official DVD, I can’t wait to rewatch the Dark Pheonix episodes on a real studio released DVD. Thanks For Your Time.

Even better than what’s on Vol. 1,
By N. Durham “Big Evil” (Philadelphia, PA) -
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)
I could rave on about how much the 90’s animated X-Men series did more justice to the X-Men mythos than any other animated interpretation, but doing so would only be a digression. Instead, what I will say is that the episodes featured here in this second volume of episodes feature were prolific to say the least, including the concluding five-part spectacular The Phoenix Saga, which takes the X-Men on an interstellar trip to save the galaxy. The team lineup remains the same, as the X-Men find themselves at a loss as Professor Xavier and Magneto are trapped in the Savage Land as Mr. Sinister’s plot comes into fruition. In between all that, Wolverine continues on Morph’s trail, and has a run-in with old enemy Omega Red in Russia (during a team-up with Colossus!), and the team also gets trapped in Mojoworld with the demented TV mogul Mojo. We learn more of various character’s histories, including Gambit, Rogue, Beast, and Storm as well. All in all, like Vol. 1, Vol. 2 of the 90’s animated X-Men series is a must-own if you have fond memories of growing up with this series, and it remains the absolute best animated interpretation that Marvel’s merry mutants have ever received.
