It's interesting to go back and see old marvel before the movies. But not in this case. It has very little to do with Marvel even the alternate earth comics never reference Mutant X because there just weren't enough fans of the show for comic writers to shoot out a nod to Mutant X, and Marvel comics are filled with call backs be it just a passing joke or a full plot device, but Mutant X is never referenced in any comic in any form because it's crap.
The one vague thread it holds to Marvel is the idea of mutants, and even then it's watered down to where the X Gene comes from genetic science, not random mutations or something from the comics.
I watched the X-Men cartoon and read the comics growing up, this was exciting to see previews for but the one thing I didn't pick up on at the time was that they were not pushing that they had any marvel characters in the show. And in fact when it did air it turned out it had nothing to do with the comics and cartoons. It was really a complete waste of a licensed IP, they could have at least had the New Mutants(X-teens in training to become X-Men in the comics) and drawn in NM fans but they went to all the trouble of licensing Marvel and didn't use anything!
I have no idea why it's rating above average at 6 besides some dishonest raters are marking this show 10 but I would say it's easily a 3, its not good(7-8), it's not awful (1-2), It certainly is below average but by how much? Well- If I could point to one appealing aspect I would give it a 4 but there isn't much of anything so it's really a 3.
