Wait, Is Morph In Love With Wolverine In X-Men ‘97?!
Warning: This article contains spoilers for X-Men '97 episode 3, "Fire Made Flesh."
Summary
One character who has changed significantly in the time between X-Men: The Animated Series and X-Men '97 is Morph, a metamorph who has the ability to alter their appearance to resemble any person of their choice. Morph's appearance in X-Men '97 is different to the human-presenting shape chosen in The Animated Series, and prior to X-Men '97's premiere, Morph was confirmed to be non-binary, which makes sense given their ability to take any shape they desire. However, X-Men '97 may have introduced yet another change to Morph that could tease a major story of representation in X-Men '97's upcoming episodes.

X-Men '97 episode 3 features the first hint at a possible romantic connection between Morph and Wolverine, as the pair have only ever been seen to be close friends in previous episodes and in X-Men: The Animated Series. A deeper connection between them could have been debated, particularly since Wolverine deeply mourned Morph's loss after their apparent death, and the pair joked together almost constantly, but a romance never truly blossomed. Of course, Wolverine's love for Jean Grey means it's very unlikely any feelings on Morph's part would be reciprocated, but this too could be an interesting narrative to explore.
In Marvel Comics, Morph is actually Kevin Sydney, a.k.a. Changeling, a short-lived adversary of the X-Men, but this was changed for 1992's X-Men: The Animated Series.
Non-binary representation is seriously lacking in popular culture, so having a fan-favorite X-Men member explore this new characterization could be hugely important. X-Men '97 is a nostalgic series for many, and values in the 1990s, when X-Men: The Animated Series was originally airing, were very different, so Morph's new embrace of their true identity has caused a stir of complaints from some. However, this is an incredibly relevant and necessary story to be told, and Morph's power-set makes them the perfect character in X-Men '97 to investigate this, even if nothing comes of the potential romance between Morph and Wolverine.
