"Legion" TV series is heading its way to FX Networks. The official announcement of Marvel was made last Wednesday, telling fans that two of its X-Men characters will have a new series with FX and Fox.

Super Hero Hype gives the background of the upcoming TV series of "Legion." Report says that it will focus on a troubled mutant young man, David Haller. The character of Haller is schizophrenic, and he's been in-and-out of the psychiatric hospitals since he's been diagnosed of schizophrenia. As everybody knows, he is also the son of Prof. X (Charles Xavier).

"Legion" is one of the regular characters in the original "X Factor" comic book. He is known for his ability to merge "various personalities into a singular, immensely powerful individual who, in an attempt to help his father, accidentally unleashed The Age of Apocalypse.

Since it will be adapted as a TV series, avid readers of the comic book "X-men" are dying to know if "Legion" will stay close to the source material. According to Noah Hawley, who is the executive producer of the upcoming show at the same time who will pen the pilot episode, the show will be more of a standalone story.

Hawley didn't dig deeper of the details of the "Legion" TV series but he promised that it's created not as a backdoor for any future project of X-Men universe.

In a separate report of We Got This Covered, it says that there are no major crossover of "Legion" with other characters from X-men universe like "Hellfire," which is also being adapted into a TV series with Fox channel. It is clear in the interview of Noah Hawley with TV Insider that the producer will explore more of the character and how he fits in a much bigger universe.
