'Mutant X', the highly anticipated new weekly action hour, chronicles the adventures of Mutant X, a team of human mutants possessing extraordinary powers as a result of genetic engineering. Like hundreds of other unsuspecting subjects, these mutants were altered in secret experiments conducted in a covert government project. Realizing that events have spun out of control, the organisation that created them is now hunting them down in an urgent 'product recall'. Mutant X's mission is to seek out their fellow new mutants and help them come to terms with their astonishing abilities - and also protect them from their creators.
