This 8 x episode series is produced by FX Productions and Marvel Television, and features a character associated with the X-Universe (in the comics), with his “father” being Professor Charles Xavier of the “X-Men”! (See bottom of post) … although you can see from the trailer, he hardly looks like the rebellious and visually troubled mohawked teen, innit? And as "interestingly", they openly used the word "mutant", innit?

TV SERIES PREMISE: ”“Legion” introduces the story of David Haller: Since he was a teenager, David has struggled with mental illness.

IN MARVEL COMICS: ”Legion (David Charles Haller) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by writer Chris Claremont and artist Bill Sienkiewicz, and first appeared in New Mutants #25 (March 1985). Legion is the mutant son of Professor Charles Xavier and Gabrielle Haller. He takes the role of an antihero and has a severe mental illness, including a form of dissociative identity disorder, with each of his personas controlling one of his many superpowers.“

POWERS & ABILITIES: ”Doctor Nemesis, Blindfold, and Professor X among Legion's personalities. Legion is an Omega-level mutant who has multiple personalities. The first personality to manifest, Jemail, was the mind of a terrorist that David somehow absorbed into himself. According to Karma, the only way he can absorb other people into his mind is if he is right next to them when they die or through telepathy. Two others, Jack Wayne and Cyndi, have made themselves known, but it is unknown how many other personalities may exist. The manifestation of Legion's individual powers are each associated with a different personality, and each personality controls a different power. The cumulative powers of all his personalities make him one of the strongest mutants in existence.” (Wiki)
