==Plot==
In the year 2199 (2199年, 1997年), four various mutants living in Tokyo decide to fight the Ursa Major, an alien space biped. When the aliens arrive, Aimi, Rikiba, Nana and Nakafumi are enlisted by Ushiro Mikio in the Dynamic Mutants to use their powers to destroy them. They have to do their best to survive against the Ursa Major later on, and are infiltrating the alien lifeforms to find out how to save a human friend.
Through the story, the Dynamic Mutants' motion itself works on a principle of utilizing the technology that only sentient beings can use. The four mutants use their powers by way of fights, plans, and reprograming their masters, the Mutant Underground, to do their bidding.
==Characters==
===The Main Four===
Aimi Hokukoji (愛未 北戸時, Aimi kitado-ji)  Voiced by: TBD  The leader of the Dynamic Mutants, Aimi is one of the only members of the Dynamic Mutants that has no superpowers. Despite that, she takes the role as the main heroine for the show. She has a secret crush on Nana, the leader of the Green-and-Yellow Mutants. She is a talented hacker and uses her ability to track down information on her missions. Although she is able to use her powers (and has a few others, like healing), she is more like the leader that does the planning and takes all the orders. She doesn't seem to care that her actions sometimes get her into a lot of trouble, preferring to think that she is the only one that matters.
Rikiba Kanzarei (利貝 カンサリエ, Rikibako kanza-rei)  Voiced by: TBD  Another member of the Dynamic Mutants, Rikiba is one of the most powerful mutant, but despite that, she is very weak and cannot move by himself. She is also weak in other respects, such as her hearing and her vision. He is very kind and considerate, and is very protective of Aimi. He is also very good friends with Shingo, even though he does not seem to care much for him at times.
Nakafumi Kiyoyama (木山 中央, Naka-yama Chūō)  Voiced by: TBD  Another member of the Dynamic Mutants, Nakafumi is usually the shortest one of the group. He is also quite an immature, immature person. He acts like a kid sometimes, but he is actually very mature for his age. He is good friends with Kiyoko.
Arisaka Yasukari (有崎 安佐洛, Yūsaka aza-kōro)  Voiced by: TBD  Another member of the Dynamic Mutants, Yasukar is the only member with pink hair. He is the youngest of the group. He can generate waves from his hand (and other parts of his body) that can make his opponents explode in various colors (red, blue, yellow, green, etc.). He can also use his power to manipulate the air around him, changing it to an effect of his choosing. He is also quite a genius, but that doesn't stop him from being somewhat naive. He seems to have no problem with killing someone he deems is a threat, and also tends to get more serious in mission that is about killing or maiming people. Despite that, he usually remains a very kind and caring person.
==Merchandise==
Around the early 1990s, a toy line was developed of the series. The toys were made of plastic and sold at stores for around a year, but it ended up being too expensive for many fans to buy. In the end, only a few toys were ever sold.
Later by 1997, a trading card set of the series was developed and was published by Card Shark. It contained one card for each of the series, as well as a few of the other characters. These cards were given away with the purchase of a McDonald's meal, and were released once a month. The cards were quite popular with fans, and were popular enough to have a few reprints.
However, there were a lot of flaws in the cards. One was the fact that there were no cards for the original Ursa Major. The card sets also contained a lot of flaws in the artwork, with the artwork of the characters being quite poor. Despite that, the card sets were still very popular with fans, and are some of the most sought-after trading cards today.
In late 1998, a novel based on the series was published by Shogakukan. The novel was written by Naoko Takeuchi, and was quite popular with fans. It was published in a limited-run edition of only 500,000 copies, and then in 2000, a comic book based on the series was published by Tokyo Shock. The comic book was quite popular with fans, and was quite successful in its first run, selling over 400,000 copies. It was then reprinted in 2002, and again in 2003. The comic book has now been translated into 15 languages, and is a huge success in Japan, with over 1 million copies sold.
The show's success has inspired a series of video games for the PlayStation, PlayStation 2, and Nintendo GameCube, as well as a series of action figures.
A film adaptation of the series was greenlit by Sony Pictures in 2005, but however it was ultimately shelved later that year.
