Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Outrage as Disney got rid of Rogue ass cheeks in X-men 97 from big to small in 2024…
Fans were quick to defend the decision, saying that those expressing furor missed the point of the franchise—which has historically been used as an allegory for the Civil Rights Movement and addressed other social issues.
Showrunner Beau DeMayo told Empire Magazine the show focuses on the X-Men being “faced with a future they didn’t expect,” and reportedly said in another interview with the publication that Morph’s portrayal is a “lighter take on the character, who is nonbinary” and has an “interesting buddy relationship” with fan favorite Wolverine.
Marvel Studios Animation decided to revive the X-Men: The Animated Series and their upcoming Disney+ series X-Men 97 takes up from where the old one ended. But it was revealed by showrunner Beau DeMayo, that in the new series, Morph’s character will be non-binary. It will be good to point out that despite his abilities, Morph has been shown as a stereotypically male character in both the comics and the older series, even though he can transform into a woman, or take any other form.
The character first appeared in the X-Men Adventures #1 comic in 1992. He was first named Changeling and was an evil nemesis of the X-Men who later turned into their ally. However, he died soon after joining the X-Men. The character reappeared as Morph in X-Men: The Animated Series as a member of the X-Men, but was killed in the pilot episode, which was called Night of the Sentinels. But it was shown that he was saved by Mr. Sinister who also planted an evil personality within him.
