“So, I’m curious what remains in #xmen97 Season 2 when it comes to New X-Men costumes. My intention in using Grant Morrison’s and Frank Quietly’s uniforms was this:
“In my version of Season 2, E-Day leads to mutant task forces like the X-Men being banned in the US and so Xavier — eager to find the next step in his dream as rival groups X-Force and X-Factor spring up while the X-Men are scattered through time — founds X-Corp, building the tower from the comics on the ruins of Genosha as a challenge for to Val Cooper and the UN since X-Force would now operate outside of UN jurisdiction.
“To me, Quietly’s designs felt more militant and that’s something I intended to explore in Season 2 as Xavier begins to militarize his dream, moving them away from being heroes, with the finally reveal being in the S2 finale (which has been cut) that it was Onslaught slowly gaining control of Xavier that made him defy the UN, start X-Corp, and militarize his team.
“When the X-Men realize this, and Onslaught reveals himself at the end of Episode 9, they don their classic 90s costumes again and return to being heroes as they lead the Avengers, X-Factor, and X-Force against Onslaught as he steals Ship (from the OG’s Obsession) from Apocalypse and unleashes it on Washington D.C. during Graydon Creed’s inauguration.”
