Gather round, children. It's story time this week on X-Boyz. Jubilee's trapped in a cave with some young students and decides to cook up a fantasy tale where she's the main hero for a change. Wolverine's a Troll-verine, Xavier's still problematic, and Gambit's voice sounds real dumb. It's wacky. It's goofy. And we've got special guest Keith Tripler here to help us break it all down. Some might say Jubilee isn't ready to carry her own episode. But we think our young lady has always been ready...

The Boyz wrap up the biggest, boldest season of XMTAS with Beyond Good and Evil pts. 3 and 4. You know who else is big and bold? Cable's son Tyler. There's wall-to-wall action, betrayals-on-betrayals and villain/hero team-ups where you'd least expect them. Beast punches a horse. Bishop and Cable shoot their guns a lot. And story producer Eric Lewald beats himself up for not getting to write the episode he planned for. (Stick around to hear what the ending would've looked like if this had been...

It's a very merry Morlock Christmas and the boyz are here to sing carols, open presents (at gunpoint), and spice up your bland hams. Wolverine's a scrooge. Ape's a table. Jubilee's an emotional wreck. And at long last Storm has to answer for her failure to serve as leader of our favorite sewer-dwelling mutants.

If you thought that '97 didn't feature enough of our beloved Logan, then do we have a treat for you. Two back-to-back Wolvy episodes (recorded before X-Men '97 started) with brand new lovers and old flames. And a professor far more diabolical than Xavier. Most importantly, we'll at long last get to the bottom of the "Sabretruth" debate. And in an X-Boyz first, we're calling out an error in the order of episodes. If you're watching along, the correct chronological order is Weapon...

Join the Boyz as they cap off the ferocious finale of X-Men '97 Season 1. Did they manage to stick the Blackbird landing? Or was it as rocky as a flaming Asteroid M?

Well we're here to wipe your tears and provide answers to burning hot questions like -- who exactly is this Bastion guy who's even more sininster-er than Sinister?

Class is in session. Face your inner demons and join the Boyz as they do what they do best and make fun of Xavier for using obnoxious words like "jingoism" while bragging about how many books he's read. What? He's alive again! That means it's fair game to poke a little fun at the pompous Professor. It's a spelunking good time that'll make your head spin like an evil owl. Is this episode as good as "Remember It?" Absolutely not. Nothing is. But we're still gonna have fun together. Because...

Take a trip back to Genosha, they said. Everything is peaceful there now, they said. Mutants will be fine, they said. WELL THEY LIED AND WE CRIED. Shed some tears with the Boyz for a top tier episode that features all the core tenets of the X-Men -- secret pasts, broken hearts, pulse-pounding action, tragic sacrifices made in the face of brutal intolerance.

With great power comes great liability. Especially when you're a reality-shifting, body-snatching, energy-sapping teenager who's never seen the outside world. That's Kevin aka PROTEUS, a mutant who escapes from the research lab of the woman who puts the "ex" in Professor X -- Moira McTaggert. It's up to Xavier and the squad to help her track down this dangerous mutant (and the X-Boyz to analyze a two-part episode that probably should've just been one-parter).
