Because in the 90's, Marvel was owned by "New World Enterprises". a media conglomeration that, among other things, owned a cut rate movie and TV production company. They would churn out Marvel related projects as cheap and quickly as possible while publishing for the dumbest, most gimmicky comics around.

This show was pretty much the nadir.

After awhile, the fans got sick of the crap and left Marvel in droves. By 1999, they were on the verge of closing house altogether.

I think that Finola hughes is better off with just being a charmed ones mother

Well, at least they got Emma Frost's tities right!

Is it just me, or is Frewer trying to channel Jim Carrey here?

[VehementiNacon]

Didn't UPN9 have a spin off tv show similar to this? Think it aired around the same time as Gene Roddenberry's Earth's Final Conflict.

Anyone else barely remembers when FOX used to primer craptacular movies like this??FOX has sold it soul hasn't it??

When I used to misbehave,my folks fully knowing just how big a MARVEL fan I was,they used force me to watch this!Oh how I loath this movie!Hehe!Jubilee at the Arcade looks like she's giving some lucky guy a an aggressive hand job!

[Sammy Lane]

Yep!And that(Xmen 3) is still head and shoulder above Spiderman 3 and all 3 Fantastic Four movies(2 Theatrically released and 1 unreleased only recently released on dvd,3 sucky movies!).

There has been a dearth of minority comic book heroes for many years, characters for young minority readers to identify with. I'm not say being the same "race" is necessary but lends to the it could be me quality, its the reason why they made Jubilee white, its the reason Emma, Banshee, and the characters they replaced Chamber and Husk with stayed white.

As the central characters they had to appeal to the most people so goodbye Ms Saigon, hello Ms America. Sorry brown people its just business.
