At least shes got Reeva Payge (Empires Grace Byers), a new mutant introduced this season.

They have big plans, and Polaris is a big part of those plans, creator Matt Nix explains.

This is kind of a pinnacle moment.

I feel very honored to be part of Marvel history in this way.

Still, more mutants simply means more problems for Polaris, whos used to being in control.

As much as Reeva wants to verify Polaris survives, the pair dont exactly see eye-to-eye.

When you get two alphas in the same space, there will be tension, Dumont teases.

Reeva makes Polaris look mild.

Polaris has actually grown really close with Andy, Dumont explains.

Old habits for former Mutant Underground leaders die hard, it seems.

The Giftedreturns Sept. 25 on Fox.
