Originally airing in Canada last September 6th, 2008, Wolverine and the X-men, Marvel’s latest cartoon will make it U.S debut on the Nicktoons Network starting January 23, 2009. The styling and art design of the show heavily resembles X-men: Evolution, but delivers far more action and intense battle sequences.

While we have a few weeks left for its US debut, episodes are readily available online on various websites and torrent sites. From what I’ve read and the clips I’ve viewed from the series, Wolverine and the X-Men looks like a winner and is a must add to anyone’s Tivo or DVR. (Sorry but trying to catch a TV show on Friday night is a little hard, even for a Geek like me.) Check out the trailer and a brief synopsis of the show below.

Show Synopsis

"After the mansion explodes, apparently due to an attack targeted at telepaths, Professor Charles Xavier and Jean Grey are missing. The X-Men disband and Cyclops begins to suffer from depression. One year later, the MRD (Mutant Response Division) is starting to detain mutants causing Wolverine and Beast to get the X-Men back together. Iceman, Shadowcat and Forge rejoin the team. Rogue joins up with the Brotherhood. The X-Mansion is rebuilt with Angel's wealth. Emma Frost is able to locate a comatose Charles on Genosha in the care of Magneto."

"On hearing this, Cyclops returns to the team and X-Men go to Genosha to find Professor X. After a short battle with Magneto, they are allowed to take Professor X back with them to the X-Mansion. Professor X contacts the X-Men telepathically from twenty years into the future and informs Wolverine that he is to lead the X-Men if they wish to successfully save the world from The Sentinel Project and prevent the Brotherhood of Mutants and the Acolytes from taking over the world before the future ends up being dominated by Sentinels."
