X-Men

X-Men - October 1992 to September 1997

They are mutants, genetically gifted human beings - the world's newest and most persecuted minority group. Amidst an increasing climate of fear and bigotry, one enlightened individual, Professor Charles Xavier, has created a safe haven for some of these powerful outcasts. The mutants here are taught to harness their unique abilities for the betterment of the human race. They fight against hostile Government agencies and mutant supremacist Magneto, and his factions, which seek to destroy the human race.

Here's a list of the team members, and their mutant powers:
Cyclops: Team leader. Stores solar energy for discharge as powerful force beams fire from his eyes.
Professor X: Founder of the X-Men. Telepathic abilities. Can read minds and project thoughts.
Jean Grey: Able to move objects with telekinetic energy. Limited telepathic abilities.
Gambit: Can charge objects with explosive charges of kinetic energy. Costume is body armor.
Storm: Ability to control and manipulate the forces of nature.
Beast: Extraordinary agility and superhuman strength.
Rogue: Has ability to absorb energy from other living beings, also has power of flight and is indestructible.
Wolverine: Heightened senses and accelerated healing ability. Implanted indestructible adamantium skeleton and claws.
Jubilee: Pyrotechnics akin to fireworks.

X-Men no longer airs on either Toon Disney nor ABC Family. A dispute between Marvel Enterprises and Buena Vista distribution over ownership of the series since Saban Entertainment sold its library to them has become more entangled.
