After months of hints, jokes, and groping, Legion, the team-up between Marvel’s TV division and FX, has dropped a plot trailer. And it sounds like life stinks for mutants no matter what medium they’re in, in what looks to be a real mind-screw of a series arriving February 8th.

For those unfamiliar, Legion follows the mutant anti-hero David Haller, the son of Professor X. Haller, unfortunately, suffers from a disassociative disorder that means he not only has multiple personalities, each one of those personalities has a different superpower, and they’re all warring in his head for supremacy. This gives David a few emotional problems, driven by the fact that his perception of reality might be completely wrong depending on who’s in the driver’s seat and who he has to deal with. Hence the rather Biblical code-name.

Also interesting is how explicitly the show seems to deal with a world that hates and fears mutants. It’s heavily implied that David’s heritage may have been hidden from him for his own safety, and that hunting him might be as much about his dad as it is about the fact that he can trash the joint with his mind. Of course, this all assumes that the entire eight-episode series isn’t taking place entirely inside David’s mind, which is most certainly on the table. We’ll find out in February.

Here’s the whole press release:
