Morph voice actor J.P. Karliak addresses the Marvel show's controversy.
The first two episodes of X-Men '97 arrived last week, delivering a new chapter of the beloved animated series. While X-Men '97 is unabashedly nostalgic for the era in which it is set, it does have some more modern updates. This includes the reveal that shapeshifting mutant Morph is non-binary, something that was already confirmed by X-Men '97 creator Beau DeMayo prior to the show's debut.
"I haven't really taken offense with anything anybody's published, as much as they've tried," Karliak continued with a laugh."There was one article that called me a radical queer activist and listed the insidious mission statement of my organization -- verbatim of what was on the website. I was like 'Facts. No lies here, thanks for the promotion!'"
The voice cast of X-Men '97 includes Ray Chase as Cyclops, Jennifer Hale as Jean Grey, Alison Sealy-Smith as Storm, Cal Dodd as Wolverine, JP Karliak as Morph, Lenore Zann as Rogue, George Buza as Beast, AJ LoCascio as Gambit, Holly Chou as Jubilee, Isaac Robinson-Smith as Bishop, Matthew Waterson as Magneto, and Adrian Hough as Nightcrawler.
