''Wolverine and the X-Men'' is the newest [[Animated Adaptation]] of the ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'' franchise, premiering in America sometime in 2009 and everywhere else in the world mid-2008.
 
The show begins with the destruction of the Xavier Institute, and Professor Xavier and Jean Grey missing, apparently dead. A distraught Cyclops disbands the team, and everyone heads in their own directions. After a run-in with some token anti-mutant villains, [[Wolverine]] decides the X-Men must be reassembled, and begins locating the missing members.
Line 9 ⟶ 8:
[[Wolverine Publicity|As the title may have told you, this show heavily focuses on Wolverine]], even becoming the leader of the X-Men. Other characters do suffer from the switch in focus: Cyclops is pretty much a wreck after he loses Jean, [[Storm]] doesn't do much of anything after her introduction, and the Professor spends most of his time as a psychic vision. That said, there were more than enough [[A Day in the Limelight]] episodes to prevent things from being too repetitive, and the show explores the "Days Of Future Past" and "Genosha as Mutant Refuge" concepts in more depth than any other adaptation. Forge and Emma Frost are made part of the main cast for the first time.
 
Despite early reports of plans for Season 2, [https://web.archive.org/web/20131104131135/http://marvel.toonzone.net/news.php?action=fullnews&id=518 it was canceled after just one season], joining [[The Spectacular Spider-Man]], which was canceled not too long before.

=== In addition to all the usual [[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]] related tropes, this show contains examples of: ===
 
* [[Abandoned Warehouse]]: In the second episode, Avalanche levels an entire street of what the news conveniently announces as "empty warehouses".
* [[After the End]]: the [[Bad Future]] Xavier is stuck in and the rest of the X-men are trying to prevent
Line 133 ⟶ 132:
* [[Spider Tank]]: The Sentinel Prowler.
* [[Spotlight-Stealing Title]]: '''''Wolverine''''' and the X-Men. You might not notice the second part at first on some posters.
* [[Sunglasses Atat Night]]: Cyclops, as usual, to contain his otherwise-uncontrollable mutant powers.
* [[Supporting Leader]]: In the future it's Xavier, but in the present Magneto (oddly enough) cites Nightcrawler as one of these characters. One episode shows that he actually does have fantastic leadership skills and his time with the X-Men has made him well-respected in the mutant community.
* [[Teleportation Sickness]]: In "Hunting Grounds", the Scarlet Witch when Nightcrawler teleports both of them repeatedly.
Line 139 ⟶ 138:
* [[Timey-Wimey Ball]]: The way time changes in the future from the present.
* [[Token Good Teammate]]: Domino, to the Brotherhood.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Nightcrawler is decidedly more badass than he appears in other adaptations.
* [[Took a Level In Dumbass]]: Quicksilver, as noted below.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]; Oh sure Inner Circle go ahead and try to probe Phoniex's mind without Emma Frost, the one who know what she's doing. I'm sure nothing will go wrong.
