The character of Polaris has a long storied history in the world of X-Men comic books.
In the meantime, while The Gifted is still getting started, the show can establish Polaris as a character on her own, devoid of the looming fact that she is Magneto’s daughter.
The Gifted will explore its connection with the X-Men films when Polaris (Emma Dumont) learns about her lineage as the daughter of one of the most powerful and controversial mutants ever – Magneto.
The new FOX TV series officially premiered last week and was largely well-received by critics.
