X-Force, New Mutants, Generation X - The Weirdest Marvel Mutants Of The 90s
X-Men 97 Season 2 is packed full of characters from X-Force, the New Mutants, and Generation X, so this week we’re bringing you the story of how Marvel went from the smash-hit success of the 90s X-Men and created a team of the weirdest Marvel Mutants of all time! Since the 80s Marvel had been working on a comic book series that focused on Professor X teaching children how to use their mutant powers. But when Cable turned The New Mutants into X-Force, Marvel decided to create a new comic book and refocus on the idea of Mutants being weird body-horror monsters that were rejected by the rest of the world - a comic book called Generation X!

This movie has split Rob and WIll right down the middle, so it's time for us to go 10 Rounds as we pull the movie apart scene-by-scene and deliver all our reactions and opinions!
