Mutants. They are the next step in evolution. But the world isn't ready for them yet. Are you?
From the creators of Gifted, and Faith the Vampire Slayer, the virtual-productions network welcomes its all-new action-packed series based on the marvel magazine, X-Men: Legends!
(portrayed by Kathleen Robertson)
Jean Grey has been a longtime member of the X-Men for quite some time. She looks up to the Professor with nothing but respect, as he is both a mentor and a father figure to her. For a while now, she's been in a commited relationship with fellow member, Scott Summers, but after the disappearance of her beloved friend Ororo, she does everything in her power to find her. Jean has the ability to move things with her mind, which is known as telekinesis, and has several other psychic abilities, including astral projection, mind control, reading thoughts, etc.
(portrayed by Milo Ventimiglia)
Being the first member of the X-Men, Scott Summers is next in line to run things if anything should happen to the Professor. He likes to play the strong, fierce man, but deep inside he is quite the sensitive type. He's been in a relationship with Jean for a while now, and would like to take it to the next level, but she isn't quite ready for that right now. He has the ability to shoot a burning ray, a kind of laser, from his eyes. Luckily he can control his power with special glasses the Professor had made for him.
(portrayed by Bianca Lawson)
In her hometown she was viewed as a pure goddess, but here in New York, she is nothing but a freak. Ororo is somewhat of a newcomer in the X-men; and has had Jean Grey watch over her like an older sister. Unfortunately she was kidnapped, as were a lot of other mutants, but where is she now? Nobody knows. She is an outspoken individual who stands up for what she believes in. Having the ability to control the weather, she uses this as an advantage in battles; but does not enjoy harming others. In reality, she truly is a goddess.
(portrayed by Hugh Jackman)
Logan was the second recruit of the X-Men team, but somewhere along the way he decided to pack his things and leave. If not knowing his past wasn't hard enough, his life in the present was not to his satisfaction; and he believed the Professor to be nothing but a phony. But, years later, he returns to Charles in hopes of discovering his true origins. He is a lot older than everyone else, but thanks to his re-generating powers, he does not look it. What he does know, is that he wasn't born with adamantium claws; and in fact, they were given to him. But now he wants to know who did it, and why? Will he find out what happened to him all those years ago?
(portrayed by Patrick Stewart)
Professor Charles Xavier was quite the saint in his mutant, glory, days. He fought in the war, he saved people's lives, and now he is a teacher at a school for gifted youngsters.

But, there are people of this world not ready to listen, and who will fight to rid the world of his kind. All he can do now, is hope that he has taught his team enough; if for any reason he won't be around, they can go on without him ... completing his mission!
(portrayed by Greg Vaughn)
Hank McCoy joined the X-Men team as he believed in their mission statement. His father being a good friend of Charles', he would do anything to protect the Professor, if not for the mutant's sake, but in honour of his father's friendship with the man.
