Ep 1. The Shock of the New!

In "The Shock of the New!," the first episode of Mutant X season 1, viewers are introduced to a group of genetically enhanced humans known as Mutant X. Led by Adam Kane, an enigmatic scientist who created them, the group is trying to protect other mutants from harm while also uncovering the truth behind their own origins.

After a tense opening sequence in which we see a young mutant named Zack escaping from a government facility, we are introduced to Mutant X for the first time. Adam Kane, the leader of the group, is a brilliant scientist who created the mutants and is now dedicated to protecting them from harm. There's Jesse Kilmartin, who has the ability to turn intangible and phase through objects; Emma deLauro, who can manipulate molecular structure; and Brennan Mulwray, who can generate and manipulate electricity.

In this inaugural episode, the team is contacted by a young girl named Shalimar Fox, who is also a mutant and needs their help. Shalimar has been captured by a group of mercenaries who are trying to use her abilities for their own gain. The team springs into action and, with some impressive displays of their own powers, are able to rescue Shalimar.

As they return to their underground lair, Adam warns the team that they need to be careful about who they trust. There are people out there who want to exploit and control mutants, and they need to be vigilant in order to protect themselves and each other.

Meanwhile, the episode also introduces us to a pair of government agents who are trying to track down Mutant X. Agent Mason Eckhart and his partner, Emma deLauro's ex-boyfriend, are working against the team to try and capture them. But as the episode progresses, we see that there may be more to Agent Eckhart's motivations than meets the eye.

As the team settles back into their routine, they are visited by a man named Gabriel Ashlocke, who claims to be another mutant like them. But while Ashlocke seems friendly at first, it quickly becomes clear that he has his own agenda. He tries to convince the team to ditch Adam and join him in a new, more aggressive approach to protecting mutants.

As tensions rise between the team members over whether to trust Ashlocke and whether to follow Adam's more cautious approach, they are also pursued by Agent Eckhart and his team. With all of these threats closing in, the team must work together to protect each other and the other mutants out there who need their help.

"The Shock of the New!" sets the stage for a season of action, intrigue, and superpowers. With Mutant X on one side and government agents and rogue mutants on the other, there's no shortage of conflict and danger. But at its core, the show is about the bonds of family and friendship that keep this team of misfits together. Whether they're saving the world or just each other, Mutant X is a team that has each other's backs.
