How did this blatant X-Men rip off make it to production? Contributing to a genre is one thing; stealing a concept and rewriting it is another. Even the characters are similar. Number Five is a combination of Nightcrawler and Shadowcat, for example. And then there's the dysfunctional team/family aspect, taken straight from the Fantastic Four. Did I mention the school? The misfit children? The most disturbing thing of all is that this show was originally a comic book. That no one in the comics community panned this book bothers me.

One bright spot: it is good to see Ellen Page acting again.
