For many X-Men fans from the 1990s, their initial exposure—and eventual love—of Marvel Comics’ premiere band of mutants came thanks to two entertainment touchstones of 1992.

One was the Fox cartoon series that ran for five seasons and introduced a generation to Wolverine, Cyclops, Rogue, Jubilee, and the rest of the team.

The other was the Konami arcade video game that let fans fight bad guys as their favorite mutants.

So it makes sense that when Joel Furtado, whose Reddit username is joelyface, was creating his own animated homage to the X-Men he would draw inspiration from the series and the game, as well as the comics from that era when the franchise was at the height of its popularity.

Describing it as “a love letter to Marvel and my childhood, as well as a way to give something back to the fans,” Furtado says his web series, X-Men: Danger Room Protocols, “centers around Professor X putting teams of two X-Men at a time through various training exercises in the Danger Room,” the team’s elaborate, high-tech training center. Episodes will feature classic characters throughout the X-Men’s history—including Storm, Nightcrawler, Juggernaut, and Magneto—as well as ’90s standouts, such as Gambit, Psylocke, Sabretooth, and Mr. Sinister.

Furtado, who began developing this project a year ago, posted a preview of his 18-episode series in the Videos community. The first episode will be released Jan. 19 on his YouTube page, and subsequent episodes will be posted every two weeks. Plus, Furtado will be giving viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the production of the series on his Patreon page.

While the episodes won’t be a continuation of the storylines from the cartoon, Danger Room Protocols will combine the action-packed feel of the animated series and the arcade game that hooked ’90s kids.

In fact, Furtado describes Danger Room Protocols as less of a TV series and more as a comic book.
