A television series created by Creator/MarvelStudios (a division of Creator/MarvelComics) and Canada's Creator/{{Global}} (airing in syndication in the US), ''Mutant X'' centers around the eponymous team of "New Mutants" who [[GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke possess extraordinary powers as a result of genetic engineering]]. Like hundreds of other unsuspecting people, the members of Mutant X were used as test subjects in a series of covert government experiments by [[MegaCorp Genomex]], which now wants to control these New Mutants for its own purposes. 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 powers.

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: During the fourth episode, “Fool For Love”, [[Creator/YannickBisson Dr. Richard Saunders]] develops a “serum to help reverse genetic mutation”, despite being a new mutant himself. When discussing this in bed with Shalimar, they both bring up good points in a scene similar to Film/XMenTheLastStand:

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: In the episode "Deadly Desire", Lorna Templeton, an evil New Mutant with spider-like powers, puts Brennan under her [[{{Pheromones}} pheromonal]] control and then has sex with him. No one treats this as rape. A bad thing that he's working with her, but not rape. In fact, they criticize him for "acting like a jerk" after he's cured. Before that, Lorna had put another way less attractive man under her control, leaving him jealous when Brennan shows in the picture; she kills the former (like a spider would kill her mate after the male impregnates the female, and right after she "has sex with" -- i.e., rapes -- Brennan right in front of him) when he proves too annoying (again repeating the same double standard, but in a worse form) and she no longer needs him as much.

* HeelFaceMole: Emma meets an old friend who's now working for Genomex. She manages to convince her pal that she's working for the bad guys with the woman shocked to discover their misdeeds and Eckhart mocking the woman for being so naive. They escape to Mutant X HQ only for it to turn out Emma's pal knew all along about Genomex and willingly working for them to try and destroy the team.

** There's also a bit of this when the team receives an upgrade. Brennan learns he can create a continuous blast akin to an ion engine with his hands, enabling brief flight. Shalimar becomes even stronger and can hear someone sneaking up on her while working out with loud music in her earbuds. Emma's PsychicPowers are boosted UpToEleven. Jesse learns to make other things intangible.

* BroughtDownToNormal: An episode of has a New Mutant with a HealingFactor (which makes his DeathSeeker personality a little ironic) working for the GSA when an epidemic threatens to wipe out all New Mutants. He is forced by his boss to work with Adam (although ordered to shoot him as soon as he has the cure). When Adam extracts his DNA to use his HealingFactor to cure the disease, he inadvertently removes this ability. The guy is happy to be able to die.

* VirtualCelebrity: During the first season, the virtual newscaster Proxy Blue. She even looked a little bit like [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ananova Ananova]], but with longer hair, and, like her, reported on unusual news, in this case specifically focusing on mutants.

* NotHerself: Lexa and Shalimar both get cloned in the episode 'Dream Lover' and their clones are used to trick Brennan and Jesse. Both men fall for it at first, until the women both get violent.
%%* Interesting case here is Lexa's clone. As Lexa gets cloned off-screen, her clone does not only trick Jesse, but also, for a short while, the viewer.
