Generation X is a television pilot directed by Jack Sholder, which aired on FOX on February 20, 1996. It was later broadcast as a television film. It is based on the Marvel Comics comic-book series Generation X, a spin-off of the X-Men franchise. It was produced by New World Entertainment and Marvel Entertainment.
Rebellious teenager Jubilation Lee (Heather McComb) finds herself in trouble after her mutant "fireworks" power manifests itself at a local arcade. She is rescued from her predicament by Emma Frost (Finola Hughes) and Sean Cassidy (Jeremy Ratchford), who are the headmasters of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. They recruit "Jubilee" and offer her sanctuary at the school - a place where mutants learn to control their powers. The trio then picks up a teenaged Latino boy Angelo "Skin" Espinosa (Agustin Rodriguez) and proceed to the school where Jubilee and Skin are introduced to their fellow students; M (Amarilis), Mondo (Bumper Robinson), Buff (Suzanne Davis) and Refrax (Randall Slavin). At the school, the students are taught not only to cope with their mutant powers, but also with a world that fears and hates them. In fact, the students are warned not to leave the school grounds lest they come into conflict with the "townies" from the local area.
