Synopsis
Scott and Alex's parents are not killed in a plane crash and their family life is relatively normal. Younger brother, Alex, is already trying to emerge from his sibling's shadow when Scott develops amazing eye beam powers. Alex finds a confidant to tell all of his troubles to in a furry mutant named Hank. Unfortunately, Dark Beast sinks his claws into Alex and never lets go, especially when the boy develops mutant powers of his own.
