THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS SPOILERS FORX-Men ’97EPISODE 6.
X-Men ’97is not holding back and the show is only on its sixth episode. In the latest episode of the animated series, fans are finally greeted by Professor X who comes to screens with a shocking and NSFW revelation. While talking to Lilandra, Professor X says something that reveals that not only does he have an active s-x life, but also has one of the weirdest kinks out there.
Given the fact thatX-Men ’97is a show by Marvel Studios Animation, such a revelation has the show going into a lesser-explored territory. Let’s not forget that it took the Marvel Cinematic Universe thirteen years before it could show a s-x scene in one of its films –Eternals –even though it was quite PG-13.

Marvel’sX-Men ’97is Built Different!
Just six episodes in, the animated series has managed to kill off two popular characters, bring back a fan-favorite one, and make a groundbreaking revelation about him. After Professor X seemingly died inX-Men: The Animated Series,the revived version of the show brought him back and made sure that his return would be unforgettable.

Clearly, Marvel Studios is advancing. Should this have happened inX-Men: The Animated Series,which was released in 1992, viewers would have lost their minds and not in a good way. However, the year is 2024 now and it looks like developments are in order.
It Took Marvel Studios 13 Years to Show its First Proper S-x Scene
Chloé Zhao’sEternalssaw MCU’s superheroes march into unexplored territory as they engaged in an intimate but brief moment. The s-x scene involvedGemma Chan’s Sersi andRichard Madden’s Ikaris, who wasinspired bynone other thanZack Snyder’s Superman inMan of Steel.
The scene marked MCU’s first real s-x scene about which Zhao toldIndieWire,
“From that moment to what you see on-screen there was definitely a lot of discussion about how to do it. But I think the desire to do something different is a very natural desire for where Marvel Studios is right now. I think it’s like Westerns coming into the revisionist period of the ’70s. I think it’s happening to superhero films — or at least we’re on the edge of that. And so these scenes just started to happen naturally.”
X-Men ‘97 Episode 5 Made One of the Darkest Stories Even Much More Sinister – What’s Next for Magneto?
As for why the scene was crucial toEternals’ plot, the Oscar-winning director stated,
“For us to be able to show two people who love each other, not just emotionally and intellectually but also physically, and to have a s-x scene that will be seen by a lot of people that shows their love and compassion and gentleness — I think it’s a really beautiful thing.”
X-Men ’97creatorBeau DeMayowould completely agree with Zhao’s point of view as he too seems to have a similar outlook on the topic.
Dude thank you. Absolutely this was intentional with Xavier and almost all the mains this season. X-Men is a soap opera and a big ingredient in that is sex.
