X-Men Evolution
If X-Men: The Animated Series resembles the mainstream Marvel Universe fairly closely, then X-Men Evolution is closer in spirit to Ultimate X-Men. Characters age and the way they interact echo other versions, but are still radically different in many ways (such as Nightcrawler having a crush on Shadowcat, or Wolverine being teacher to the likes of Cyclops). The interpretation of some characters owes more to the recent live action movies than to the original comics (such as the powers the new Toad has). This newest incarnation first aired on November 4th, 2000, and is currently into its fourth season.
