Iron Man and Wolverine Get New Toon-ups

Nicktoons Network is teaming with Marvel Entertainment to bring both Tony Stark and Santa Claws to television in brand-new forums: Iron Man: The Animated Series and Wolverine and the X-Men. Each series will run 26 episodes and premiere in early 2009. My sons can wait... maybe.

The plots? Wolverine kicks off with an event that robs the group of Professor X, leaving the likes of Logan, Beast, Storm, Cyclops and Nightcrawler to fend off a future forecast in which giant robots (Sentinels?) rule the world, all the while battling Magneto and his minions.

Iron Man , meanwhile, finds Tony fatherless and left to depend on technology for survival as he fights corruption and the everyday pressures of teenage (teenage?) life. — MWM

Why would Marvel put these shows on a network that no one gets? Wouldn't it make more sense to put it on a bigger cable network, like Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, or Cartoon Network?

Nickelodeon, It'll be on Regular Nick. This is just Nick trying to get more cable companies to pick up there Nicktoons network which is the best channel ever made for cartoons, This is something CN needs to learn how to make since Cartoon Network is no longer a channel for those who like cartoons older then RKND.

Oh and the new X-Men cartoon sounds like the future where the X-man Bishop came from.... for those who don't know this future: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Days_of_Future_Past

YAY!! More X-Men Cartoons! I was not happy when they went off the air way back when. Wolverine is one of my favorites but I have to say my all time favs were Rogue and Gambit! Now to make sure I have Nicktoons. I agree with the comment about Cartoon Network some of their cartoons...but then I grew up on Looney Tunes.

Marvel Comics had a teenage Tony Stark back in the '90s (after the Avengers: The Crossing and Onslaught storylines). And, yes, it sucked.

Yes, I am so pumped! I am really interested to see where they go with the whole no-Professor thing on X-Men. Hopefully they'll do a better job then Brett Ratner did...
