ok, so the Mutant X website is up. there's not a lot up yet, but it is enough to give you the basic story and let you see the cast and characters. it sounds to me like the big, bad antagonist just needs to get over it, the whiner. Mondo and Shadowcat had themselves a love child named Jesse (the actor Forbes March. hubba!).

so, the show's about this guy named Lex Luthor who left Metropolis after supposedly being killed off after the first season or so of Lois and Clark. deciding that it just isn't worth having Superman kick his ass all the time, Lex gives up Evil and becomes Good, in the form of a Philanthropist, since that's really the only Good thing a billionaire can be (cf. Charles Xavier, Reed Richards, Bruce Wayne, Tony Stark). Lex gathers around himself a group of genetically super-powered beings and names them "The X-Men." Tom De Santo appears out of nowhere with his own team of super-powered Lawyers. during a brief battle, the Lawyers throw out a Cease and Desist Order, a couple of Injunctions, a Motion for a Change of Venue and a Codicil (don't ask me why. Lawyers are a little wonky sometimes) (and yes, that Legal Terms Glossary comes in handy). Lex concedes and changes the name of the team, using the unoriginal and unapt "Mutant X".

sometimes, when i have nothing else to do at work, i write crap like that.
