Ever wonder what happened to Mutant X? In this Joblo original video, we
dive into the history of the TV show Mutant X from 2001-2004. We'll
explore the rise and fall of the hit TV series based on Marvel's
mutants. In the year 2000, Fox studios proved that audiences were ready
for live action outings of our favorite comic book heroes with the
release of X-Men (2000). On the heels of that, famous Marvel fun-sucker
Ari Arad created Mutant X, a super-charged television series running
from 2001-2004 and follows a scientist and four of his mutants as they
try to survive and outsmart the government. The series stars Victoria
Pratt, Forbes March, Victor Webster, and Lauren Lee Smith and bares
almost no resemblance to the source material, other than capturing the
soapy, dramatic interpersonal relationships of teenage mutants in a VERY
dangerous world.

 
They weren't even teenagers. Well, maybe Emma was supposed to be a teen.
But the rest of them clearly weren't, incl. Emma's "replacement" Karen
Cliche.

 
I don't remember they were sppsd to be teens.

This show was cheesy as hell,  but I enjoyed it until they replaced Emma
(and it finally became interesting, too). Then they added Karen cliché,
which was a huge upgrade, so I was surpirsed to hear it became extremely
popular.
