The Gifted season 2 is currently without a release date.
Because of this, it will be important for The Gifted to address who exactly struck the first blow during the 7/15 event.
Taking place loosely within the X-Men universe, The Gifted is set during a time period where mutants are segregated, hunted and imprisoned and both the X-Men and the Brotherhood are nowhere to be found.
Instead, the safety of mutantkind has been left in the hands of The Mutant Underground – an organization founded by the X-Men prior to their disappearance.
