‘X-Men ’97’ Season 3 Is Officially Setting Up Another Messy Love Triangle [Exclusive]

Collider reports that their evolving relationships will be explored further after the X-Men’s current crisis, with one connection set to become a love triangle; however, no further plot specifics or release information are given.

X-Men ’97 is an animated Marvel series that continues the story of the X-Men, a team of people born with unusual abilities who are often feared or discriminated against. The show revisits characters and storylines from the 1990s X-Men cartoon, combining battles against major threats with conflicts inside the team.
Bishop is a time traveller from a possible future who can absorb and release energy. Polaris, also known as Lorna Dane, can control magnetism, while Havok, Alex Summers, can release powerful bursts of energy and is the younger brother of Cyclops, one of the X-Men’s leaders.
Romantic relationships have long been part of X-Men stories, often affecting friendships, family ties and decisions during crises. A relationship involving these three characters would also give more attention to members of the wider team, rather than focusing only on its best-known figures.
