A Disney+ TV series focusing on key characters of the mutant race, incorporating the X-Men & Mutant storylines into the current MCU timeline. Based on an original reddit idea, where mutants have existed as isolated cases of humans with abnormal genetic variation throughout history. They're a set of rare cases that as of 1982, there have been only 180-200 documented cases/samples of the rare genetic specimens found. Charles Xavier,a leading geneticist and mutant himself with psychic abilities,has been studying about this rare gene mutation. He seeks to know more about them, and the belief of fear and paranoia around them which has existed for thousands of years. He along with another fellow mutant- geneticist ,Hank McKoy embark on a quest to find these mutants and study them from the fringes of human society. By end of the first season they are able to find and interact with a few mutants like a German holocaust survivor Erik Lehnsher(Magneto), an shapeshifting assassin Raven Darkholme(Mystique) etc. Also, they underythat some mutants have been held captive in government facilities for scientific study and experimentation (Like Stryker's facility) who are still hunting for these rare mutants.
