He's the first evil mutant Xavier encountered and is basically the reason why Chuck formed the X-Men. There was a retcon that Logan and Creed formed the first X-Men but... nobody talks about that... He's basically a black demon that takes the form of a fat Middle Eastern guy:
Ok, cool - thanks for the info. Shows me how little I truly know of the marvel comic universe!
No problem! The X-Verse especially is filled with retcons, flashbacks and complex family trees.

you can make this a quick read if you want the short version on the Shadow King. https://marvel.com/universe/Shadow_King
Cool, thank you!
I just found out that the actor playing Legion is having a helluva a year with him as the Beast in 'Beauty and the Beast' and he was in Downtown Abby? Time to give that show a try

"I knew your father. Did you know that? Your real father. The guy that gave you away. I know. Talk about an ass****. Always acting so holy and then gives away his only son. He thought he could hide you from me, but he was wrong. I found you. Such a sweet little baby. And me, your very own walking talking fungus. What do you think he'll say when he finds out?"
I hope season 2 is gonna be less dream-like. It's good but every episode is 'out there'

When dealing with powerful psychics, that's exactly what it needs to be. Our protagonist is a psychic mutant and our villain is an ancient psychic entity.
Season 2 should bring in an older Emma Frost as a villain.

Another great episode tonight. This series started slowly, but has been steadily picking up steam and revealing more secrets as the story progresses. Best superhero show on TV, IMO.

It was a good episode.
The classroom sequence was pretty much spoon feeding the audience though.
The mental/physical battle was cool.
I just want to see David unleashed already.

I've given up on it. Too much style over substance for me. I feel a little 'emperors new clothes' voicing this opinion but it needs to get its head out of its @$$ instead of spending every week saying "ooh look at me, I'm so clever" your mileage will vary of course.........

I can see your point. This show does have a unique visual sense. I feel like since the plot revolves around a guy who may or may not have mental problems, it makes sense narratively. The idea of having a show taking place inside a fractured mind should look a little weird at times.
