In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide.

In this episode of X-Men Evolution, we get to meet the Morlocks and learn about their way of life, and we also learn about a new sports drink called Pow-R 8 that's poisonous to mutants. Meanwhile, Evan Daniels is finding that he can't hide who he is anymore. Spikes are growing all over his body, and retracting them feels painful. He's trying to stay closeted, as he must do if he hopes to continue living in Xavier's mansion, but after he accidentally takes a drink of Pow-R 8 at a skateboarding competition, his powers go haywire and only the Morlocks know what to do to help him. This episode is so sad that we couldn't even manage to get through our usual "Who's gay?" segment. It's a great episode, though.
