	Movies - Generation X

On February 20, 1996, the Fox Broadcasting Company aired a made-for-television telefilm based on the Marvel Comics series Generation X. The film (produced by Marvel Entertaiment) featured Banshee and Emma Frost as the headmasters of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and M, Skin, Mondo, Jubilee and two new characters Buff and Refrax as students (Chamber and Husk were not written in because the budget didn't allow for the special effects their powers required). The team battled a mad scientist who used a machine to develop psychic powers. The extremely low-budget film was scoffed at by fans and plans to develop a syndicated series were abandoned.

Although not a factor in the decision to abandon the creation of a series, minority fans were also disappointed and offended by the portrayal of Jubilation Lee as a character of non-Asian descent. As previously mentioned the X-Men comics and animated series portrayed her as Chinese American.
