X-Men has been my favorite superhero team since I was a kid despite my massive fangirl love for Captain America and Beast defecting temporarily I love them more than even The Avengers.

I think the X-Men appeal to almost all superhero fans because everyone can relate to the feeling of being an outsider or being different. It's especially easy to relate to the X-Men since they're mutants and what makes them different is their genetics which they can't exactly change. Of course, as much as I enjoy being a big ole lesbian, dude, it would be sweet to have some bad ass mutant powers. Maybe kick ass teleportation like Blink. As much as I love Kurt I'm not digging the stinky and short range trips he has.

Anyway! In the early nineties there was a kick ass X-Men cartoon series released by Disney and it's coming out on dvd April 29, 2009 in two volumes with two discs for each volume. The title of the dvds are X-Men: Attack Of The Mutants and I'm soooo looking forward to this. The cartoon wasn't the best in terms of animation but they did a nice job with the characters and it was fairly accurate despite being played on Saturday mornings.

Plus Rogue and Storm were total love in this cartoon version. They were such an OTP it was hilarious.

OMG! I am so buying this dvd, I was rummaging through my movie collection the other day and found a VHS of the X-men: Night of the Centennials episode. This cartoon was like the definitive superhero show topping out mid-ninety's Spiderman and that awesome Batman where all of the characters had perfectly sculpted jawlines.

The Joker rocks in those cartoons especially the one where this ordinary guy gets road rage and yells at a car that cuts him off only to find out that it's the Joker. Then Joker chases him down and says I won't kill you today but one day I'll call on you for a favor. Classic!
