Trivia: This is the first show in a long list of ties with 65 point. Why 65? Because the highest score that can be awarded to a TV show is 65, for #1 place. If you ranked it as #1, but nobody else voted for it then it will have 65 points.

This is a strong group! Earth's Mightiest is proof that Avengers movie verse is really lacking without The Wasp. :(

gSa3x38.jpg

Aired: 1992–1997 (Fox Kids)
Genre: Cartoon
Storyline: A team of mutant superheroes fight for justice and human acceptance in the Marvel Comics universe.

Blurb: 

 

I know this won't crack the Top 50 but I had to write about HOW influential this show has been on me and legions belonging to the superhero fan community all across the globe. THIS SHOW was the reason why many belonging to the Millennial generation were assured right from a very young age that superheroes didn't belong to fans of any one race, gender, nationality, culture or orientation.

 

The X-Men have always been a representation for disenfranchised minorities who were different from the "norm", and the show perfectly captured this essential theme that makes the franchise what it is. Diverse doesn't begin to explain the team line-up, including a raging Canadian man who left no doubts about his immense bad-assery despite being of below average height, an incredibly fierce and commanding African weather goddess, a sassy brawling Southern belle with a wonderfully fleshed out conflicted and vulnerable psyche, a smooth talking and charming Cajun and a goofball Asian-American teenage mallrat who was the audience's POV character in the world of persecuted mutants and giant robot Sentinels that hunted them down. Along with Batman: The Animated Series, X-Men '92 redefined storytelling for Western animated shows, tackling complex multi-episode story arcs straight from the comics like The Dark Phoenix Saga, Days of Future Past and Age of Apocalypse and doing them far more justice than the live-action movies have done. Speaking of which, the breakout success of the animated series in the early 90's easily convinced studio execs to greenlight Singer's X-Men in 2000, the precursor to the superhero blockbuster boom we are experiencing today. Such is the legacy of the show that Marvel Comics is giving it it's own universe in their upcoming Secret Wars event.
 
And as if it weren't epic enough, the show had one of the most kick-ass, goosebump inducing intro themes of all time!
