Marvel Studios’ LEGENDS Features Apocalypse Ahead Of X-MEN ’97 Season Two Premiere

Marvel is turning back the clock before X-Men ’97 Season Two arrives on July 1. Ahead of Apocalypse’s major role in the upcoming season, Marvel has announced a new Marvel Legends recap episode centered on the iconic mutant villain.

They say there’s nothing like the first, and the world’s very first mutant is no exception. Ominously dubbed Apocalypse, the ancient being possesses power that may be limitless — and frighteningly unmatched. Driven by a dark desire to destroy this reality and replace it with one of his own creation, Apocalypse’s path toward destruction ultimately placed him in direct conflict with Charles Xavier’s uncanny X-Men.

The action-packed Legends episode transports viewers back to the 1990s through key moments from X-Men: The Animated Series and into the ending of X-Men ’97, revisiting Apocalypse’s long history and his devastating clashes with Marvel’s mutant heroes. With his story set to continue in Season Two, Marvel is putting the spotlight on a battle between good and ancient evil whose final outcome may still be waiting to unfold.
