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, Storm's past is further explored as Sebastian Shaw releases Apocalypse from his time prison, intending to use him as a pawn, but is ultimately overthrown by him. An important figure from Grey's past, Beast is temporarily welcomed to the Red Team in order to defeat Apocalypse.
