Meet The Characters From FOX’s ‘The Gifted’

What would the world of comic book adaptations be without the word mutant? The Marvel Cinematic Universe! I kid, I kid. But really, FOX’s The Gifted is a television series based around the struggles of muggle parents when they learn their children have mutant abilities.

The series hails from Burn Notice creator Matt Nix, who is also serving as the main showrunner. Bryan Singer, who has been the point man for almost all the X-Men films, directed the pilot.

The series does have some large mutant shoes to follow after the strange and beautiful Legion over on FX, another TV series taking place in the X-Men centric universe, although none of the “main” team are set to make any appearances.

You probably remember him best as Vampire Bill from HBO’s True Blood, but here’s Stephen Moyer as Reed Strucker, a father faced with helping his children adapt to their new abilities while the government hunts them down. We’re expecting there to be Sentinels:

Amy Acker from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Person Of Interest is Caitlin Strucker, wife of Reed and mother to the kids:

Natalie Alyn Lind (The Goldbergs, Gotham) is Lauren Strucker, daughter of Reed and Caitlin:

Percy Hynes White (Night At The Museum: Secret of the Tomb) is Andy Strucker:

Jamie Chung, who played Mulan on ABC’s Once Upon A Time and also appeared on FOX’s Gotham, will be Blink, a character who doesn’t get enough love:

Polaris:

Eclipse:

Thunderbird:

Agent Turner:

There’s also this small collection of photos from season 1, we’re assuming from the pilot episode:

The Gifted is set for a  Monday, October 2nd premiere date on FOX.
