The TV show, based on the comics by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá, is about a group of kids with extraordinary abilities are collected by an obsessive scientist and trained to become a superhero team. As adults they are estranged and lead very different lives, but are reunited when they need to attend their father’s funeral… and also prevent the apocalypse.
