NYG27 : 7/25/2016 3:31 pm
For those not familiar with the X-Men comics, Legion, real name David Charles Haller, is the son of Professor X and possibly one of the most powerful beings in all of the Marvel Universe.

He has severe mental illness, autism, schizophrenia and multiple personalities, with each of his MANY personalities controlling a specific superpower. Per Wikipedia, here are a list of his know personalities powers....

FOX controls the rights to the X-Men universe of characters for both Movies and TV. Which is why FOX developed this for their FX channel.
