After the newest episodes of ‘X-Men ’97,’ some fans started to think that there might be a little love story between Morph and Wolverine.
In the recent episode, Morph walks in on Wolverine in the shower. Well, sort of. It turns out it’s not really Wolverine but an illusion. Still, Morph seems pretty interested and even offers to help Wolverine with ‘those hard-to-reach spaces.’ It could be a joke, but it caused some to think there might be something more between these two.
Fans Want More of It

Fans on Twitter are having a field day. Some say Morph looked way too comfortable interrupting Wolverine’s shower:
“Morph was VERY comfortable intruding on ‘Wolverine’s’ shower. I mean, they’ve definitely explored each other’s bodies before.”
Others are hoping to see more scenes with just the two of them, maybe even another shower scene. But without interruptions this time:
“I NEED A MORPH AND WOLVERINE UNINTERRUPTED SHOWER SCENE!”
Wolverine and Morph share a special bond. Remember when Morph transformed into Sabretooth to cheer up Wolverine? That was a sweet moment showing how much they care for each other. Will this turn into a romantic thing? The show hasn’t gone there yet, and it might never. But it’s still fun to think about what could happen.
Morph is Non-Binary, And This Caused Controversy
Before the show even started, the creators shared that Morph would be non-binary. For some, it shows everyone can be a hero, no matter how they identify. However, others criticized this decision a lot. Activist J.P. Karliak recently said that this didn’t surprise him:
“No. [Laughs] I’m a queer activist. I run a nonprofit that advocates for queer representation. I also co-founded a voter registration organization. I know what’s going on in the world, especially politically, so no, it didn’t surprise me at all. [Laughs]”
There’s also drama with other characters than Morph and Wolverine. Gambit and Rogue are having problems, and Rogue seems to be getting closer to Magneto. They’ve been spending a lot of time together. This is definitely going to stir up some trouble.
