    Of course, the fandom for the quintessential X-Man, Morph, who was so well loved that he starred alongside Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry in the 2000s X-Men film.

    Morph, who was such an established Marvel character that they had to change his name for the animated show because there was a DC character who had a better claim to it.

    Morph, whose iconic design was “a dude”. I remember when every kid wanted the “a dude” action figure.

    That Morph?

    I would bet good money that not a single soul who is being vocally upset online about this was a part of the “Morph Fandom”. It’s people who assume that a show featuring a non-cis or non-straight character is a personal attack.

      Spoken like someone who never watched the show and just parroted some of the info that article just gave you.

      Morph was on a fair amount in the show and had his own arc. He was sort of based off Changeling from the comics, but was a different character completely, just with the same ability and created just for the show.

      Also, Gambit wasn’t even in the movies. Jubilee also didn’t really have a roll in the movies, but Gambit, Morph, and Jubilee were all major characters in the cartoon.
