Mutant X is a science fiction television series that debuted on October 6, 2001. The show was created by Marvel Studios, and it centers on Mutant X, a team of "New Mutants" who possess extraordinary powers as a result of genetic engineering.[1] Although it was said that a fourth season would be produced, it was canceled in 2004 after the dismantling of Fireworks Entertainment, one of the show's production companies, ending the show with an unsolved cliffhanger.[2]
Mutant X follows the classic "Villain of the week" pattern. In nearly every episode a New Mutant appears which is later never seen of or heard from again. A continuing story arc appears only two times: the story arc revolving around Gabriel Ashlocke, which spans the final episode of the first season and the first several episodes of the second season and the second story arc revolving around The Dominion, a secret society, in the second half of the third season.
