Yippee! Genetic mutants. Nothing to do with X-Men mutants of course.
Totally different set of X mutants really. There was this place
called Genomex with leading genetic scientists Adam Kane (John Shea)
and Mason Eckhart (Tom McCamus). Adam realises that his research
has led to the creation of"new mutants" and he leaves.
What they have done is create genetically mutated humans who have
supernatural powers. Adam sets up Sanctuary to save those new mutants
that are now out there roaming amongst us. But Eckhart is now in
charge of Genomex and he also wants them.
Adam's team is made up of:
Shalimar Fox (Victoria Pratt fresh from Cleopatra 2525). Shalimar
is feral and gorgeously fit. With blazing eyes, her animal DNA assists
her to leap and fight with feline grace and ferocity.
Brennan Mulwray (Victor Webster) has an electric touch - literally.
He can control electric to start cars or to throw lightning bolts.
Before joining with Adam, Brennan was passing time using his powers
in a not very legal way.
Jesse Kilmartin (Forbes March) is a nice guy, learning life the
hard way. His ability is to change his molecular density so that
he can become as hard as rock or so loose he can walk through solid
walls. He evidently has good, directional control of this ability
as he never falls through the floor when passing through a wall.
Last to be conscripted is Emma deLauro (Lauren Lee Smith). Her
powers are mental as she can change people's perceptions of what
they are experiencing or feeling.
All of them learn their martial arts, so there is plenty of fighting
in a very Matrix-like jumping around style. And over time, their
abilities have a tendency to get stronger. For example the relatively
passive Emma one day starts to be able to project mental energy
bolts. But this is in the nature of genetic mutation.
Eckhart is a bad guy, but even worse is the psychotic "first
mutant" Gabriel Ashlocke (Michael Easton - from Total Recall
2070). Gabriel has ALL the powers and when he escapes from perpetual
stasis, some really bad things are about to happen! Including time
travel...
