 * The characters who were changed the most for the series were Molly Hernandez and Gert Yorkes. In the comics, Molly Hayes was a mutant however the series has changed her ethnicity from white to Hispanic and due to 20th Century Fox owning the rights to the X-Men and therefore the term "mutant" her powers are explained differently. Gert Yorkes was a chubby teenager in the comics but slimmed down for the show.
