X-Men: Evolution is an American animated television series based on the superhero series X-Men published by Marvel Comics. Taking inspiration from the early issues of the original comics, the series portrays the X-Men as teenagers rather than adults, following their struggle to control their mutant powers as they face various threats. X-Men: Evolution ran for a total of four seasons, comprising 52 episodes in total, from November 4, 2000, to October 25, 2003, on Kids' WB, making it the third longest-running Marvel Comics animated series at the time, behind Fox Kids' X-Men: The Animated Series and Spider-Man. Seasons one through three aired on Cartoon Network from August 31, 2001, to May 27, 2003. The series later aired on Disney XD from June 15, 2009, to December 30, 2011.

Produced in the United States, the voice recording was done in Canada; and the show was animated in Japan and South Korea. The series was distributed by Warner Bros. Television Distribution during its original run and is currently distributed by Disney Platform Distribution in the United States. The show features many characters some may recognize from the comics like Cyclops, Jean Grey, Professor X, Wolverine, and Nightcrawler while some are original (Spyke and X-23). There have been many romances between these characters, most famously Cyclops and Jean Grey, although the series suggests Rogue loves Scott as well as a parallel to The Cyclops, Jean Grey, Wolverine love triangle.
