US television network Fox Tuesday gave the first official story details for its X-Men spin-off - confirming there will be no X-Men in the show.
The Gifted - Fox's first collaboration with Marvel - stars Stephen Moyer and Amy Acker as the fugitive parents of mutant children on the run from shady government agents.
Speculation had swirled on social media that Professor X and company would play no part as The Gifted joined up with another underground network of mutants.
"That's not a dodge. That's not like 'The X-Men are gone and we're never going to deal with it human race nmd black ,'" showrunner Matt Nix told journalists at the Television Critics Association summer press tour in Los Angeles.
"It's a thing in the show and we're going to be exploring it, and it's a huge deal to these guys, it's a huge deal in the world. It's one of the central mysteries of the show."
The 10-episode show is not based on any individual Marvel Comics storyline, but it will share some characters with the X-Men franchise.
Polaris, Blink and other favorites are expected to appear adidas nmd r1 triple black , although their powers may not be as fully developed as in the comics, Nix said.
"She's not comfortable with her powers... She struggles with it," said Jamie Chung, who plays Blink.
Moyer said Marvel had made all of its comics available to the cast for research, "so we could all go down the rabbit hole or not. It's up to the individual actor."
Marvel's work with Disney has since eclipsed the X-Men movies but the original film in 2000 is credited with sparking the re-emergence of superhero movies.
Ten X-Men movies have so far clocked up $5 billion in worldwide box office receipts.
The installments have ranged wildly in quality adidas nmd r1 uk , with Days of Future Past receiving almost universally glowing reviews while Origins was hammered by the critics.
The Gifted premieres on Fox on October 2.

Venezuela confirmed Tuesday that it has entered recession, while annual inflation topped 63 percent, exacerbating the outlook for an economy already hit by crippling shortages and crashing oil prices.
The South American oil giant's economy shrank 2.3 percent in the third quarter adidas nmd chukka for sale , after contracting 4.8 percent in the first quarter and 4.9 percent in the second, the central bank said, the first time it has released the country's growth figures this year.
That is a new blow for leftist President Nicolas Maduro, whose approval rating is at a low of 24 percent going into legislative elections next year that could force the followers of late socialist firebrand Hugo Chavez from power for the first time since 1999.
Analysts had said for months that Venezuela was likely in recession.
But the diagnosis had not been confirmed by official statistics, which the central bank adidas nmd r2 primeknit white , in violation of its own rules, has released only irregularly as the economy has worsened in recent months.
The inflation rate, a figure that had not been released since August, came in at 4.7 percent for the month of November and 63.6 percent for the year -- among the highest in the world.
Maduro's government has introduced mandatory price cuts and rent controls in a bid to rein in the increases but has not managed to get the inflationary spiral under control.
- Severe shortages -
The problem has been aggravated by severe shortages of basic goods.
Venezuela is estimated to have the largest oil reserves in the world but depends largely on imports for basic goods, including food and medicine.
Venezuelans can buy gasoline cheaper than bottled water but currently struggle to find milk adidas nmd city sock uk , flour, cooking oil, toilet paper, deodorant, shampoo and other products.
The shortages helped fuel violent protests against Maduro's government from February to May in which 43 people were killed.
The central bank said the protests "prevented the proper distribution of basic goods to the population and the normal production of goods and services."
It blamed the demonstrations for an "economic reversal and a fall in economic activity."
Price increases were the sharpest for housing nmd city sock white gum , food and alcoholic beverages, and restaurants and hotels, it said.
The central bank has not published the index that measures scarcity since March, when it found that 19 categories of key products were experiencing "serious supply problems."
Falling crude prices have taken an added toll on a country that gets 96 percent of its foreign currency from oil.
According to Maduro, Venezuela's oil export price has plunged from $95 a barrel in September to $48 today.
He accused the United States of waging an "oil war" to hurt major crude producers including Venezuela and Russia.
A boom in shale oil in the United States has upended the world market adidas nmd xr1 uk , causing crude prices to hit a string of five-year lows in recent weeks.
Producers' cartel OPEC added to the downward momentum last month by ruling out a production cut -- a decision pushed through by wealthy Gulf states over Venezuela's furious opposition.
BUDAPEST, Sept. 12 (Xinhua) -- The UN refugee chief Filippo Grandi Tuesday criticized Hungary for the treatment of asylum seekers in the so-called transit zones at the southern border of the country.
At a press conference Grandi said "I don't call this transit, I call this detention" following meetings with the Hungarian Minister of Interior, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, officials of the ministries and representatives of civil organizations working w.
