Well, I've had different experiences with media from comics and the old and new cartoons. Which have been very different. It's like when it comes to comics you get mutants into different universes and looks. But the cartoons stay the same and you never see all who belong to X-Men. Yeah, I did notice the Xmen in the middle of a war to help humans but also themselves. And even fighting people in space.

Well, they do have certain ones that represent the Xmen. And they are considered mentors and professors. (Hehe well I imagine he would)

True!

And yes regarding the cartoons, too, although I think what they lack in the breadth of characters they make up for in the depth of the stories. Though actually, I was surprised how X-Men: Evolution did handle a larger cast. When they intro'd the younger students in, I think Season 2? I was expecting them just to be background, filling in the world a little more. But they actually got decent screentime and key moments for some of them.

X-Men: TAS might've been able to cover more, at least other Marvel characters, but times were different back then.
Throughout its run, though, there were quite a lot of mutants and X-Men characters we got to see, though, if only mostly as one offs if memory serves.

I mean I guess the animated series actually are like the comics in that, I think the comics do stay the same for quite a while. Like in real time we could have the same cast of X-Men for several years, and even a plot building over that course of time. It's just now that we're 60 years on, looking back at most of these stories, they all feel available right now, you know? Where as reading them when they came out might've felt the same as watching any of the series, like if you think of the run of a specific writer or rather writer/artist combo like its own series.

Though that's coming from someone who hasn't gotten through too much of those years, yet; bits and pieces.
From that I do think the thought applies to some more than others.
Like the earliest comics, Lee/Kirby, went places, man. You never really expect what each one will feature.

Now I'm certainly not saying as time went on they grew more predictable (certainly many of the much lauded creators came later),
just I think more modern comics follow more of a format. At least what I've read of the Utopia era, for instance, felt to me like a TV drama.

(I hope none of that came off as stupid. My mind's not firing on all cylinders today).

Now that is a good point so many younger or the old school mutants have been like background characters. Some still haven't been in the spotlight. The only way they can be seen is if they are put into some group. Some are for example X factor and X force. You never see any of those mutants in the regular Xmen. So many aren't seen and known that way. I had to be reminded who Cable's mother was lol. Not going to spoil it for people who don't know. The new anime got me up to date. It was so much different from the old one. I pretty much caught up with the mutants from the past. But some are still new to me. Dont worry I understood it all. :)

Another character was added to my character list. ^-^

I'm still looking for at least another partner. Please message me if you are interested. ^-^
