X-Men: Evolution is a Non MAU series. It was the first series after the Marvel Animated Universe ended. It was the second series, and third attempt, at a series based on the X-Men after "Pryde of the X-Men" and X-Men.
Background
The series was put in production following the release of the original X-Men film. The designs were initially inspired by their first appearances in the comics, despite consisting of a different line up. Character designer Steven E. Gordon admitted to having purposely changed the looks of each character for individualistic unique faces and figures that would make everyone stand out from each other. His art style for the series was inspired by the art of Adam Hughes, who's art he enjoyed for the different facial designs for each of his characters.
X-Men: Evolution is the third longest running Marvel series, alongside The Super Hero Squad Show, Iron Man: Armored Adventures and The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. By the time of the fourth season, the series would no longer have the episode titles aired onscreen.
Characters
The main X-Men of the series are Charles Xavier, Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Shadowcat, Rogue, Spyke and Beast.
Episodes
The series ran for fifty-two episodes over four seasons. It is the third longest running Marvel series after X-Men and Spider-Man.
