Tinga, who escaped to Canada in #1.12 with other X5's, when Eyes Only warned them their locations were compromised, comes back in town to save her husband and son. With Max and Zack's help, the family is reunited, but not before the son is given a deadly pathogen. Lydecker agrees to cure the boy in exchange for Tinga. Unbeknownst to him, Madame X has already arranged for Brin to double cross Lydecker. She captures Tinga, who is able to pass her special traits to her children, to study her.
In the corporate town of Paradise Valley, an ordinary teenage girl named Alex Mack finds her life turned upside down after a chance encounter with a top-secret chemical.

The series kicks off with an exhilarating event where young Alex is doused by GC-161, an experimental chemical from a local plant.
