Synopsis
Mutant X (created by Marvel Studios, a division of Marvel comics) is a television series that first aired 6 October 2001. The show chronicles the adventures of Mutant X, a team of four human mutants possessing extraordinary powers as a result of genetic engineering.
Like hundreds of other unsuspecting subjects, these four new mutants were altered in secret experiments conducted in a covert government project. There are those who want to control these new mutants for their own purposes. Only Mutant X stands in their way.
The mission of Mutant X is to seek out their fellow new mutants, help them come to terms with their abilities, and protect them from those who want only to exploit their mutant powers.
Even though the series had high ratings and had been renewed for a fourth season, it was abruptly cancelled in 2004 due to the dismantling of one of the production companies.
The series was filmed in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
