OK, I never saw this from the beginning of it's run, I just saw the re runs on SPACE. I remember the first season it was gonna be on, I saw the ads. They looked pretty good and I actually wanted to see this. So the first episode comes along, and I was a little disappointed. I mean, it was OK, but nothing special. The problems I had with it mostly revolved around the characters. I thought that the characters were a bit wooden and were a bit stock. But I saw the potential for this thing to become a dark twisted bio punk show and thought that perhaps the characters would evolve as the episodes went on. There was one minor thing that annoyed me. When the electrical one blasted the telekinetic mutant that was chasing him and ema, he was not effective because the telekinetic guy was wearing rubber shoes or something like that. Now that on it's own is plausible, however, the electric jolt actually knocked the telekinetic guy backwards. Now this is obviously contradictory, but I let it slip in hopes that the series would evolve from this point.Well let's just say, the show got a lot worse after this.After the first episode, the whole series fell apart. I think the characters actually became more wooden, mutant x becoming like the preppy popular club of the mutant world. Every episode consisted of the same thing. Mason Eckhart had some new mutant brought forth to capture other new mutants (why are they called new mutants?) This new mutant would come up with some plan to capture other new mutants, be thwarted by mutant x, be put into a stasis pod for their failure, and then repeat next episode. This got really redundant really quick. And some of the mutants had the lamest powers. I remember one had super hearing. He wasn't lucky enough to at least get super senses, no, he got super hearing. And the ones with good powers never used them properly. which brings me to my next point.The mutants powers were not used right. Take for example, Ema. now in the first season she was probably the least powerful of the group besides shalimar. However she was still useful. But when they were in a fight, instead of confusing the people mutant x was fighting, she joined in the hand to hand combat. What the hell, she has a pretty useful power and never uses it? In the second season when all the mutants got their powers upgraded, she was easily the most powerful of the group. The only one that could compete was that dude who could phase in and out of stuff, I forget his name. Even when she got the upgraded powers, SHE ALMOST NEVER USED THEM IN A GOOD SITUATION. she usually joined in the usually lame fighting scenes kicking and punching, yet she can kill people with her mind. The electrical one, Brennan, is another matter. One thing that annoyed me about him is how water was his weakness. Seriously, he can generate electricity through his body, yet can't get electrocuted by his own electricity? what the hell. And once again he almost never uses his powers when it's a good situation. He goes into the fights kicking an punching instead of electrocuting people. the one that phases in and out is one that should go into the fight kicking and punching because of what his powers are. However, he never phases out to dodge, except in exceptional circumstances, and never increases his mass to hit, except in exceptional circumstances. And then there's shalimar, who had her DNA spliced with a cats or some stupid thing like that. What the hell is her power, kung fu master? I know, i know, she's supposed to be super strong and super agile and stuff like that, but I guess the low budget of the show didn't allow it to be obvious, seeing as her fighting not only looked forced, but didn't even seem to be noticeably better than a normal human.Anyway, I only saw part of season one, a little of season 2 and none of season three, just because the episodes were so bad I couldn't watch them anymore. The only reason I watched them in the first place was because there was nothing else on I wanted to watch during the time slot and I usually have the TV on in the background when I'm on the computer. Anyway, I was really way to nice to the program in this comment, but I thought I'd write something at least a little constructive. The only reason I didn't give the show a 1 is because the concept was good, the writers just dropped the ball on it.

I think this is a great show I love this show and I totally disagree with what Fortey said.There are a lot of people out there that would disagree with Fortey.I have gone to a lot of posting boards and there are a lot of people out there who think Mutant X is great all over the world.The actors and not bad they are great and the plot is good too.So for anyone who thinks this show is terrible well I don't care what you think I love this show and thats all I need!Thats your opinion and well this is my all well if you don't like it tough luck.I would recommend this show and you will see it's great.All I can say is this show is great.MX LIVES

i have been watching this show for a while. i watched the first season and then lost interest but now I'm back watching it again. people needs to stop comparing this to xmen just because its about mutants. whether its a rip off of xmen or not shouldn't matter that much. look around you, we live in a world where everything is duplicated. for every Britney we have a Christina. and from Carson we now have David letterman and jay Leno, so shut the hell up with the copying crap. if you can get over the fact that its about a bunch of mutants that have superpowers some-what similar to the xmen then you will enjoy this show. the characters each have their own unique personalities that makes the show works. it may not be the best show in the world but it does have its moments

ah, mutantx created by avi arad. arab is one of the producers behind other marvel hits like "spiderman the movie" , "the hulk" and upcoming hits like "ironman". mutantx is obviously modeled after "x-men" and the characters in this series are obviously inspired from the same comic. it doesnt quite have the depth as the comic, but the show has gradually gotten better, effects wise and script wise.it's been on for 3 season since 2001, however, a couple of script changes have hampered the show (like the elimination of emma, the supposed death of adam cain, the elimination of eckhart), it's hard to say where exactly the show is headed and what the status of the show is, but mutantx is good cheesy fun with signs of brilliance.storyjust like "x-men", the mutants are in what's called "sanctuary" where they train their mutant abilities and used to track the activities of the criminal organization known as genomex.the mutants are led by adam cain (john shea), a scientist who had research mutant genes but the genes produced disastrous effects and bad mutants like gabriel ashlocke. at first as shown in the first 2 seasons we see adam as the good guy, a scientist working for the better of mind, however in the last season, we saw that adam cain had a hidden agenda. he created the mutants genes not so much to better mankind but for his own big ego. the episode in last season revealved that mason eckhart (tom mccamus) and adam worked together for genomex. when the mutants found out, they obviously didn't have the same relationship with adam, he was not trustworthy anymore.so lets read about the mutants themselves:forbes march plays jesse kilmari who can "phase" his body through metal, often coming in handy bypassing security locks and high security clearances.Victoria Pratt is Shalimar Fox, a mutant like Wolverine who can smell enemies and kill them with her ferocious attacks.Lauren Lee Smith was Emma DeLauro the strong telepath, the writers decided to kill of her character last season in somewhat of a disappointing cliffhanger. Her death wasn't received well.Victor Webster is Brennan Mulray, who can harvest electricity and use it as a weapon similiar in a way to Strom from X-Men except he uses electricity.Karen Cliche is Lexa Pierce (replacing Lauren Smith), a character that can teleport from one place to the other, obviously a copycat of "NightCrawler" from X-MEN.So whats the status of the show?This season Mason Eckhart was killed at the hands of Brennan Mulray, Adam Caine thought dead is not, however , he seems to be playing games with his former home of Sanctuary.He pops out as a holographic image , offers advice then disspears. Emma DeLauro was written of in a very cheap way, enter Lexa Pierce who joined the team although like Adam, Lexa Pierce seems to have her own agenda.Genomex has now been closed down, so a new organization called "The Dominion" is now running things and causing problems.Lexa Pierce seems to be a friend of "The Dominion" and there seems to be a cat and mouse game there.Several storylines have repeated themselves, the Mutants encountered a telepath from last season trying to kill them. A stream of killer locusts was set loose. A virus targeting mutants went into the wild, and from the last 2 episodes we have gotten a deeper background into the characters of Lexa, Brennan and Jesse.Jesse seems to like Lexa, however, seems to be the type of girl who plays with guy's emotions. Shalimar and Brenna have their doubts on Lexa, which is growing as their brief communications with Adam Caine hint.That's about it, the season isn't over yet and it's anyone's guess how it will end, next week's episode is All New involving the kidnapping of Jesse Kilmari's grandfather.Avi Arad has developed quite a fun and interesting show, despite it being a ripped of X-Men however "MutantX" has enough going for it for a recommendation. The action scenes are pretty good showcasing martial arts mixed with special effects, and the stories seem to get better every next so watch it.
