David Haller, in the show Legion, is an American mutant. He is played by Dan Stevens, a British actor. To keep things surreal, Haller’s ‘rational self’ was introduced as a British version of himself. Haller in the comic books has a slightly more confusing backstory. He is half-American (on his father’s side) and half-Israeli in the books; he was co...
It took nearly a full season, but the David Haller of the show came to the conclusion that his father was a powerful mutant himself. It has not been revealed who it is yet, but for people that know their comic history, it does seem to be pointing to the same truth as the comics-- David Haller is the son of Professor X. The biggest clue outside of t...
Interestingly enough, both the “Old Man Logan” storyline and X-Men: Legacy differ from their semi-adaptations by featuring Captain America’s most infamous archenemy. Johann Schmidt is a Nazi supervillain (and oftentime head of terrorist organization Hydra) who dates all the way back to 1941. Created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, the Red Skull has be...
Of David’s schemes to make the world a better place for mutantkind, one of the larger ones focused on involved David taking a trip to London. The story arc is told mostly through the narration (and occasional contradicting dialogue) of Pete Wisdom, a British mutant who works as the head of British Intelligence agency MI-13. Wisdom finds Haller in t...
The depictions of mental illness in fiction is often fraught with inaccuracy and connections that don’t necessarily exist. In the comic books, Legion (who hates being called that) gets his code name from the legion of distinct personalities that exist inside his head. The proper disease for having multiple personalities is called Dissociative Ident...
Although X-Men: Legacyis steeped in the lore of Marvel’s X-Men, there is not a single traditional X-villain to be had in the series (unless you want to count the very slight supporting role of Magneto as a part of Cyclops’ X-Men team). Instead, the most noteworthy villain is the aforementioned Red Skull. Apart from that, the villains were either co...
Legion opens with David Haller being a longtime resident of the Clockworks Psychiatric Hospital-- fed a steady diet of drugs and diagnosed with schizophrenia. Following the incident stemming from Syd Barrett’s (David’s girlfriend, not the former Pink Floyd frontman) accidental body-switch with David, he is whisked away to the Summerlands institute ...
In Legion’s season premiere David meets Syd Barrett, another patient at the Clockworks Psychiatric Hospital. Their romance develops quickly, despite Syd’s seeming petrifying phobia of being touched. It is later revealed Syd is also a mutant-- one who switches bodies temporarily with anyone she comes in physical contact with. She rescues David from ...
As we mentioned earlier, X-Men: Legacy is about David Haller coming to terms with himself and his father’s place in the world in the wake of the death of Charles Xavier. Frequently David had been seen as either a liability or, at worst a villain, throughout his years in comics. He was a ward of the New Mutantsfor a time, but never was given the opp...
The mutants of Legion are originals. What we mean by that is that the show’s writing staff and showrunner Noah Hawley created all the mutants, minus Haller and Farouk, for the show. There has been, to date, no mention of the X-Men. The only indications they even exist in the same world as the X-Men are that they hint that Xavier is Haller’s father/...
