What happens

Mutant X is a superhero television series created under a Marvel Comics license, but with no connection to the Mutant X comic book series at all. It debuted in first-run syndication on October 6, 2001. The show was created by Avi Arad, and it centers on Mutant X, a team of "new mutants" who possess extraordinary powers as a result of genetic engineering. The members of Mutant X were used as test subjects in a series of covert government experiments. The mission of Mutant X is to seek out and protect their fellow new mutants. The series was described as where the X Men meets The Matrix. The series was filmed in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Despite being announced for a fourth season, the series was abruptly cancelled in 2004 after the dismantling of Fireworks Entertainment, one of the show's production companies, ending the show with an unresolved cliffhanger.
