I thought they did introduce him as a member of X-statixs. I remember him being a bit older than the cartoon version and a pretty big racist.
Lets not and say we did! I do like the MjNari idea though! X-Men 90's cartoon foreva!
MjNari was a great kid. Totally more developed and well rounded than Spike, and he was only in, what, two X-Men TAS episodes. Besides, Chris Claremont helped write some of those X-Men TAS episodes, and the rest were almost direct, word for word adaptations of his stories. X-Men TAS was watching the X-Men comics on TV!

Good Marvel characters- Bring Them Back!!!
No he didn't. When his name showed up in the credits, it was because the stories they were writing were adaptations of his work.
TAS Nightcrawler was COMPLETELY unlike his comic book counterpart, having none of the swashbuckling fun he'd had under Claremont in UXM OR Excalibur.
Jubilee was heavily watered-down, becoming basically early 80s Kitty Pryde with a Jubilee reskin. Since Claremont created both characters, he would have been able to write the two of them differently.
Jean Grey, one of Claremont's favorite characters who became one of the strongest X-Men in history under his pen, was reduced to so much fainty arm-candy in TAS.
And Ororo was hardly ever referred to as anything but 'Storm', and given a comparative handful of focus episodes, where under Claremont's run in the comics, she became the most prominent black female superhero in comic history.
Yeah, Chris Claremont is totally obsessed with sexualizing women, which isn't a bad thing. But he does it with mind swapping, possession, mind control, BDSM torture, and other really weird fetishes. He's not as bad as the writer of The Giving Tree. His child poems and writing were so pornographic they were first published in Playboy Magazine.
