So after Bryan Singer confirmed that the new FX show ‘Legion‘ would indeed be a part of the universe established by the ‘X-Men’ films, fan interest in the new show has been very high, especially in regards to how it will fit in with everything that came before it, and specifically, what stories from the ‘X-Men’ comics the show is trying to tell. Fortunately for all of us (in my opinion), the show is actually not going to hit any specific storylines from the comics, but will be telling original stories that take place in the universe, and be a lot more character focused.

Legion is the story of a troubled young man who may be more than human. It introduces the story of David Haller, who since he was a teenager, has struggled with mental illness.

But after a strange encounter with a fellow patient, he’s confronted with the possibility that the voices he hears and the visions he sees might be real.
