X-Men: Red Team is an American superhero drama television series based on Marvel Comics' series X-Men Red.
Premise
[edit]In the first season, Jean Grey enlists the help of new and known fellow mutants to stop Cassandra Nova, who is trying to start a war between humans and mutants using Grey as martyr. Flashback episodes trace the background and the Red Team's members.
In the second season, Mister Sinister becomes the team's enemy as he emerges motivated to collect Grey's and Cyclops' perfect DNA and develop clones to work for his mischievous plans. The Red Team receives a new member, Sunspot, who becomes crucial to defeat Sinister.
In the third season, Sebastian Shaw and the Hellfire Club release Apocalypse from his time prison, intending to use him as a pawn, but are ultimately overthrown by him. Apocalypse then restarts his mission of killing all mutants and humans by choosing four young mutants to be his Horsemen: Vertigo, Warren Worthington, Caliban, and Polaris.
In the fourth season, a group of villains — led by Haven and consisting of Bella Donna, Cobalt Man, Unus the Untouchable, and Mastermind — orchestrate a series of catastrophes around the world in an attempt of unifying humans and mutants and forming a "new humanity". Haven's beliefs in Hindu teachings make her the team's leader. The woman secretly carries a powerful fetus in her womb, which ultimately brings the Adversary into the human dimension.
