We-Heart-Cartoons

Hey there! It's about time for a new episode of "Forgotten Cartoons"! Today's show was requested by mrskeletonman. I've done two shows requested by him in the past. One was solid ("My Dad The Rock Star") and the other was so-so ("Wayside"). Let's see how today's show holds up. It is called "The X's". "The X's" was created by Carlos Ramos, and it aired on Nickelodeon for exactly one year from November 2005 through November 2006. It has only one season and 20 episodes (38 segments) to its name.

I get they had to be nerfed for plot-sake but what's the point if the whole damn series HAS to revolve around them as the main opp anyways? The biggest example of this is Omni-Man getting rid of Flaxans and Omnipotus being wasted in Season 2 Problem 2: The "Main Character" Syndrome Shortened for "MCS"
