Question about a tv show.

[nintendokid]

There was a short lived TV show a long while ago that featured a group of School kids/Highschool kids that had mutant powers. It wasn't X-men.

There's one scene I specifically remember, a kid who had the ability to absorb the property of anything he touched grabs a rock in the middle of a fight, right before he gets punched. He broke the kids hand.

If this sounds familiar to anyone, please let me know.

I remember something similar to that somewhere in my head.

Quickly, pull out your left eye and crush it!

(It's a reference to Ulquiorra, if you didn't get it; you probably did.)

But seriously, it's driving me nuts, because I remember bits about it, but I don't remember the name.

I think you are talking about the extremely shortlived Generation X. If I remember correctly, it never made it past the Pilot movie.

Awesome, that was it. I knew it was something like that, but everytime I used any search query, it just kept giving me X-men links, which would've been hell to dig through.

Without the high-school setting, there is also the Mutant-X series that had a semi-similar setup to X-Men but in a very different world.

Yes, I did see that.

Even though the Generation X movie wasn't that good, I liked that it had mutants -- like X-men -- but they weren't ridiculously overpowered -- again, like X-men. That dude who could absorb the properties of a rock was awesome. There's some cool stuff that could be done with it, but it's not like radically unbelieveable.

I mean, just look at how Uber guys like Magneto, Wolverine and Jean Grey are. Magneto could rip the world apart, iirc. That's just too much.

Unfortunately Generation-X was still set in the Marvel-verse to some extent.

Mutant-X was in its own world and was an interesting mix between the mutant stories combined with the conspiracy type setting.

Ah, I know; that was a bit dissapointing. But because of a crappy budget, the producers were forced to scale back the powers drastically, which is what I liked about it.

And I liked Mutant X, but because of the time it was on, I rarely ever had time to watch it.
