for context: this series was a retelling of TAS episodes for comic readers, they elaborate and change around what actually happened in the cartoon

Morph never got a death speech in TAS LOL

this comic also doesn't have Logan getting upset or yelling about Morph smh.... I only own a couple of these though so idk what happens in the other ones

there's also a TAS manga that I believe is finally getting an official translation and printing in English soon!! I'm excited for that

X-Men: The Manga: Remastered, Vol. 1 (1)in fact it'll be released in November

I imagine it happened because TAS was pretty popular in Japan - in fact lemme grab the japanese opening b/c it goes hard

X-MEN OP1-2(JPN)

(flashing lights warning on that one)

oof, now that I'm reading this again, you could totally interpret the 'I always wanted to be like you, Hank' to mean they wanted to be braver about being 'out' as an obvious mutant
(this is me reading into it lore that did not exist yet)

also Hank wasn't the one that was Morph's bestie lollll
