Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })District X was a short lived comic book series by David Hine that ran from 2004 to 2005. It takes place in "District X", also known as "Mutant town", a neighborhood in New York City where most of the people are mutants. The main characters are two cops, the human Ismael "Izzy" Ortega, and Lucas Bishop from the X-Men, replacing Izzy's hospitalised partner Gus Kucharsky.The series was a police procedural, rather than a superhero comic. Mutants are not heroes or villains, just common urban people (cops, neighbours, petty thieves, "totally radical" teenagers, vagrants, etc) who simply happen to have weird super powers. There are almost no superhero costumes involved (not even Bishop, he goes around in normal police uniform).The series had a Spiritual Successor called "Mutopia X", a tie-in with the crossover House of M, where Mutant Town becomes like the Hollywood of the new alternative reality.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Blessed with Suck: Most mutants in mutant town have powers that would be completely useless in superhero fights, and just make their lives suck. If Gregor falls asleep, he begins to produce roots and turn into a tree, so he must stay awaken all the time. And if the roots begin to get out, they don't simply get back inside: they must be cut with pruning shears and the injuries cleaned.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Bittersweet Ending: Leaning more toward the "bitter" side. Izzy manages to recover from rock bottom and get his family back, but it takes his daughter's death and and the depowering of almost everyone in District X to finally convince him to wise up.

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: In Cuba. Bishop thought that Ortega was a mutant because he's was deported from Cuba in the 1980s, when Castro deported all mutants from the island. Ortega corrected him: Castro deported mutants and everyone else who may be a danger for his regime, such as intellectuals or writers. Ortega's parents? They were poets.
