MUTANT X 2001-2004 SEASON 1 (LIONSGATE)

I have always found this show to be rather unique.

The story centers around 4 people who are genetic mutations and their leader Adam (John Shea). These mutants fight to keep the world safe from a madman named Mason Eckhart (Tom McCamus) who runs a bio-engineering lab called Genomex.

Jesse (Forbes March), Shalimar (Victoria Pratt), Brennen (Victor Webster) and Emma (Lauren Lee Smith) and the four protagonists, and they do make a very good team.

The first season consists of 22 episodes and they are as follows.

THE SHOCK OF THE NEW 10/1/2001... An empath named Emma is on the run and she is suddenly protected by three other "new mutants". This is the introduction of the main characters of the show.
