Legion Creator Explains the Show's Mutant Team

Noah Hawley on the abilities and perspective of Legion's mutant characters.

By Eric Goldman

While lead character David Haller (Dan Stevens) is from Marvel's X-Men comics, the new FX series Legion has also quickly introduced both David and the audience to a whole new group of mutants. So who are these people and how have their abilities shaped them?

Legion executive producer and showrunner Noah Hawley gave IGN his insight into these characters -- who operate under the leadership of Melanie Bird (Jean Smart) -- along with some info on what makes them tick and what to look for.

Check out the slideshow below to see what Hawley had to say about this unusual group.

Legion airs Wednesdays at 10:00pm ET/PT on FX.
