[@uncannydcmarvelous5732]

Only the ones of Wolverine, Storm, Rogue, Beast, Nightcrawler and Mr. Sinister, the rest are recasts, ones justified (as Cyclops and Magneto's VAs passed away on 2020) others may be ridiculous excuses for the sake of "introduce the character to new generations" (Jubilee and Morph's cases). It's complicated and weird.
