AceShowbiz - FOX's new "X-Men"-related series "The Gifted" has released a slew of motion posters, highlighting its characters and giving a better look at the mutants. Featured in the nine motion posters are the Strucker family, antagonist Agent Turner, Blink, Polaris and more.
Lauren Strucker (Natalie Alyn Lind) is seen looking fierce in her poster before unleashing her mutant power. In the first trailer, Lauren demonstrates her ability to control air and water. Meanwhile, her brother Andy (Percy Hynes White), the one who makes government discover his and Lauren's mutant powers after taking down bullies, possesses some form of telekinesis power, which most likely focuses more on metal.

FOX also releases motion posters for the matriarch and patriarch of Struckers. Stephen Moyer plays Reed Stucker, a husband to Amy Acker's Caitlin Strucker. Upon learning that their kids are manifesting mutant powers, the couple is forced to go on the run from the government. Coby Bell's Agent Turner is one of those who will hunt Struckers and other mutants on the show.

The new series also offers a better and close-up look at the other mutants, who previously were only briefly glimpsed in the trailer. Blink's (Jamie Chung) poster highlights her purple hair and green eyes, while Polaris (Emma Dumont) shows off her magnetic power. Fans also get a close-up look at two other mutants, Eclipse (Sean Teale), who can manipulate light and photons, and Blair Redford's Thunderbird, who has enhanced strength, speed, and durability. The mutants will be joining forces to help the Struckers run from the government.
