The Big Picture As X-Men '97 brings back the beloved animated series from the 90s, fans are treated to not only nostalgia but also fresh explorations of characters and relationships. One such relationship, which has taken fans by surprise, is the romance between Rogue and Magneto. Executive producer Brad Winderbaum, in an interview with Collider's Maggie Lovitt, shed light on this intriguing development and its origins from the comics.

"Well, you put it best, it is pulled from the comics. I think part of the ethos of X-Men '97 was to emulate people's memories of the original show. So we brought on the original creators and director as consultants and they were very involved, and we looked at the same source material that they were looking at, and looking for untapped potential in those stories . And it was something that every single person knew from the start going in, that this was the goal.

Lovitt observed that it has been fun to see people going back and reading those comics because they didn't realize the content that had been there all along. Winderbaum echoed this excitement, reflecting on how accessible comic book lore has become. In the alternate reality of the Age of Apocalypse, Rogue and Magneto's relationship fully blossomed. After the death of Charles Xavier, Magneto led the X-Men against Apocalypse. In this reality, Rogue chose Magneto over Gambit, leading to their marriage and the birth of their son, Charles. This version of Rogue had absorbed Polaris's powers, allowing her and Magneto to touch. However, this timeline was eventually erased, making their love story a poignant "what if.
