"Unlike you, we have no choice but to dwell here, away from those who fear us." Merely five episodes into its run, X-Men: The Animated Series is already making impressive strides in laying down some truly foundational X-Men lore. This single 22-minute outing manages to organically establish and seamlessly weave together Storm's chronic claustrophobia (first hinted at in "Deadly Reunions"), the Scott/Jean/Logan love triangle, and an entire new mutant community in the Morlocks. Following the two-part pilot's exploration of human-to-mutant social dynamics -- and presenting a dissenting viewpoint via Magneto -- the introduction of the subterranean Morlocks presents a fascinating new dimension: how the concept of racial passing is applied to the mutant metaphor. Given the complications that passing entails for real-life POC, it only stands to reason that this would likewise be an issue in the X-Men's fictional world for individuals with highly visible physical mutations. Like Magneto, this offers another contrast to the X-Men. Whereas the titular cast largely consists of mutants who are able enjoy a relative degree of privilege walking openly among humanity, the Morlocks segregate themselves from society as an act of self-preservation. True to form, the episode allows the Morlocks' attitudes towards the surface world to stand largely unchallenged as an accurate, albeit depressing, reality. It's yet another example of the series' refusal to spoon-feed its young audience with simple platitudes. Outside of the big picture world-building, "Captive Hearts" also serves as the soapiest episode to date, with rich interpersonal conflicts amongst Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean, and Storm serving as particular highlights. In addition to the iconic love triangle which will remain a staple of the series, Storm overcoming personal adversity (with Wolverine's tough love encouragement) and cementing her role as co-leader of the X-Men is a welcome development. This kind of character-first storytelling takes a page right out of the comics, propelling the X-Men's popularity in the '80s and serves as the template to their enormous multimedia success will into the '90s. It all makes for a packed house on this installment of X-Position, where Jenny and Tim are joined by Keith, Matt, and Logan to dissect all the drama.

"...But for some, a war is never over." Creatively, one of the most contentious elements in the making of X-Men: TAS was the decision to forestall the first appearance of Magneto until after the series premiere. As the X-Men's greatest rival, his omission was viewed by many within Marvel as starting the show off on the wrong foot. In retrospect, this choice would prove to be another win for the production team in their commitment to a specific vision of the X-Men on screen. Having put in the work of clearly defining the human-mutant conflict -- and its stakes established as nothing short of life-or-death -- the path was paved for the other side of the equation to be introduced. Suddenly, with our heroes' necks under the oppressive jackboot of human bigotry, Magneto's philosophy of mutant supremacy begins to look a lot more sympathetic. But make no mistake, this is a decidedly terroristic depiction of Magneto, a controversial figure whose motives and personality have varied enormously since his 1963 comics introduction. Can his actions in this two-parter be reconciled with the nobility that has also come to define more contemporary presentations of the character? To the show's credit, it embraces, rather than shies away from this question. In strategically and tastefully navigating Broadcast Standards and Practices, the show is able to preserve the traumatic backstory and shared history with Professor Xavier so crucial to Magneto's fundamental being, without explicit reference to real-world events. The duality of conflicts set up by Sabretooth's simultaneous intro and treatment by Xavier in contrast to the re-emergence of his old foe is likewise impressive. Also appreciated is the renewed focus on Beast's plight, not forgotten since his capture last episode, which serves as a logical springboard for Magneto's introduction. All in all, it's an underrated, brilliantly written pair of episodes, hitting all the right notes for a major debut and crafting a compelling portrait of one of comics' greatest characters. Join us for this continued examination of X-Men: The Animated Series, proudly presented by Jennifer Smith, Tim Capel, and "Dark Keithie" Langston.
