| + | '''[[John Semper, Jr.]]''' was story editor, producer, and writer for {{sm}}, the second longest animated series based on [[Marvel Comics]]. He also wrote {{ih}} episodes {{eps|Mind Over Anti-Matter}} and {{eps|Fashion Warriors}}. |
||
| − | '''{{eps|X23}}''' is the fortieth episode of {{xme}} and the tenth episode of the [[X-Men: Evolution Season Three|third season]]. It was written by [[Craig Kyle]] and [[Christopher Yost]] while directed by [[Curt Geda]]. The episode was the first of three to feature original character {{C|X-23|xme}}. She was created by Kyle, though because Yost also wrote the episode he is sometimes given credit, and was likely designed by [[Greg Johnson]] and [[Boyd Kirkland]]. Like {{C|Firestar|smaf}} of {{smaf}}, the character proved so popular she was adapted into the [[Marvel Comics|comics]] becoming one of the most popular characters in the ''X-Men'' series. She was also adapted into {{hvw}}, {{wxm}}, {{shss}}, and the live-action film ''Logan''. |

| + | Semper studied Visual and Environmental Studies at Harvard earning a Bachelor's Degree in 1975. One summer he worked on the documentary ''Gimme Shelter'' alongside future ''Star Wars'' creator [[George Lucas (Real)|George Lucas]]. He then taught filmmaking and film history at the New England School of Art and Design before moving to Los Angeles. He directed a short film that combined live-action and animation that played as part of the [[Universal Pictures|Universal Studios]] Studio Tour and was donated to the Smithsonian Institute. He then went to work at [[Hanna-Barbera Productions]] where he worked on ''The Smurfs'', ''Snorks'', and various ''Scooby-Doo'' series. |

| − | A masked figure breaks into a {{C|S.H.I.E.L.D.|xme}} facility, hacks into their computers, and looks up information on {{C|mutant|xme}}s specifically the {{C|X-Men|xme}}. The figure finds the file on {{C|Wolverine|xme}} ([[Scott McNeil]]) then angrily destroys the terminal. While fleeing the soldiers, the figure uses two adamantium claws in each hand to escape. Meanwhile, the {{C|New Mutants|xme}} are toughing it through Logan's latest grueling training while {{C|Rogue|xme}} ([[Meghan Black]]) uses her recent trauma to get out of the class. The kids are relieved when {{C|Nick Fury|xme}} (Jim Byrnes) arrives to take Logan to the facility to investigate leaving the training to {{C|Beast|xme}} ([[Michael Kopsa]]), much to the kids' delight. |
||
| + | In 1994, Marvel hired Semper to be the story editor of ''Spider-Man'', essentially running the series. He replaced another story editor, who was not working out, and had worked with [[Stan Lee (Real)|Stan Lee]] before. Semper stated that it was an enormous deal as [[Marvel Comics]] was facing severe financial difficulties at the time and [[Avi Arad]] needed the series to succeed to help his newly created company Toy Biz. Semper fought with Arad throughout the course of the series as he wanted a quality series but Arad wanted a toy commercial. Semper would usually win by arguing that a quality series would sell toys anyways. |
||
| − | Logan finds the break-in damage to be much like his own work. Fury introduces him to Dr. {{C|Deborah Risman|xme}} (Lisa Ann Beley), a defecting {{C|HYDRA|xme}} scientist, who recognizes Logan as Weapon X. She explains that the break-in was by X-23 (Andrea Libman), the twenty-third attempt at a biological weapon and first successful one because they used Logan's DNA. X-23 was raised alone and forced to shun anything like attachments and love. HYDRA trained her to blend in but she was prone to violent outbursts and a danger to anyone around her. At the age of twelve, she was put through the Weapon X process, angering Logan upon hearing this. The X-Man goes off to find her by himself, though Fury warns that he only has an hour before his men move in. |
||
| + | Due to backlash from ''Power Rangers'' and ''Batman: The Animated Series'', Semper had to deal with some extreme censorship. He was still allowed to use characters such as [[Carnage]], [[Punisher]], and [[Blade]] but had to tone down their actions. He was also not allowed to use [[Sandman]] or [[Electro]] due to a film being made by James Cameron, but when the film fell through he used Electro. Semper was told not to use season-long story arcs, but did them anyways starting with [[Spider-Man Season Two|Neogenic Nightmare]]. He wanted to emulate the long-form stories from the comics and accomplished it before anyone knew what he was doing. Despite writing some stories for a sixth season, the series ended after the [[Spider-Man Season Five|fifth season]]. |
||
| − | During this time, X-23 arrives at the {{C|Xavier Mansion|xme|mansion}} and begins spying on the X-Men. She watches them enjoying each other's company while flashing back to her own lonely time growing up. {{C|Charles Xavier|xme}} ([[David Kaye]]) stumbles upon her as she cries, but it's a trap and she uses a device to knock him out. While enjoying {{C|Jean Grey|xme|Jean's}} ([[Venus Terzo]]) room, she knocks out {{C|Cannonball|xme|Sam}} (Bill Switzer). She then attacks {{C|Iceman|xme|Bobby}} (Andrew Francis) as he discovers everyone else. {{C|Cyclops|xme|Scott}} ([[Kirby Morrow]]) and {{C|Berzerker|xme|Ray}} (Tony Sampson) find Rogue and try to help Xavier, but are stopped by Logan who notes the device is also a bomb. The four wander through the darkened mansion and find everyone else knocked out. In the library, X-23 drops Logan through the floor then uses Rogue to knock out Scott and Ray before knocking her out. |
||
| + | Following his work at Marvel, Semper went to work on the shows ''Extreme Ghostbusters'' and ''Rescue Heroes''. He worked with Stan Lee Media, [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney Interactive Studios]], and translating Hayao Miyazaki films into English. He wrote for DC Comics series ''Static Shock'', but was not allowed to do similar multi-episode stories. He recently worked on an online series named ''Creeporia'' combining live-action and animation. He most recently wrote for the ''Cyborg'' series for DC Comics. He also scans and uploads storyboards of ''Spider-Man'' on Facebook and argues for the entire series to be released uncut on DVD. |
||
| − | Logan confronts X-23 ordering her to stop. X-23 attacks him and their battle goes throughout the mansion. X-23 keeps getting the upper hand as Logan is just countering her. He tells her he knows what she went through and that she shouldn't have had to since she is just a child. This angers her who cries out she is not a child. She reveals a third claw in her foot and forces him outside. He continues countering eventually getting her to understand that he is the one person on the planet who understands what she went through. She eventually breaks down crying and hugs him. However, S.H.I.E.L.D. arrives and he tells her to leave while he deals with them. He tells Fury to leave her alone but the colonel says he can't. The next day, Wolverine lets the New Mutants play a friendly game of dodgeball telling Xavier that sometimes kids should just be allowed to be kids. |
