The 1992 series, X-Men, is considered to be the best tv adaption of the iconic superheroes. However, Wolverine and the X-Men is a close second.

Since Wolverine is the most popular X-Men, it seemed logical to let the character take centre stage and lead the team for this show. But what also made the series stand out was its phenomenal voice-cast. Steve Blum as Wolverine, Fred Tatasciore as Beast, Nolan North as Cyclops, and Phil LaMarr as Bolivar Trask. It's a dream come true hearing the best voice-actors in the business portraying characters that fans have cherished for decades.

At the end of the first season, it is implied the next story would revolve around the legendary comic saga, Age of Apocalypse. Viewers couldn't wait to see this story be adapted for the silver screen.

But there was a problem. At the time, Disney was buying Marvel Studios, causing the company to have a heated relationship with Fox; the company that owned the rights for X-Men. Disney refused to advertise the show or market X-Men toys since they saw Fox as their competition. Disney's interference caused the show's financiers to back out, resulting in Wolverine and the X-Men getting axed.
