→Synopsis
(→Overview: The Breeding Cult seem fairly evenly matched with the Manticore people. Joshua was much stronger, and Max beat Nurse Betty and her Phalanx opponent. At other times, the Familiars came out ahead, e.g. White v Mole and the female Phala) |

Line 20:
It is during one of these burglaries that she meets [[Logan Cale]] ([[Michael Weatherly]]), and realizes that he's the cyber-journalist "Eyes Only." Interested in finding more about his highly skilled mystery visitor, he discovers who she is using security footage, and invites Max back to his apartment. Once there, and being well versed on his government conspiracies, he confirms his suspicions (sees her barcode) that she is one of the escaped X-5s from Manticore. Max and Logan make a pact: he will help her find her missing siblings, if she will help him take down bad guys. Logan also helps to protect Max from Lydecker, who's been looking for the escapees since their breakout.
Soon into the series (10 years after the escape), Max meets up with Zack. More siblings are found, and often with tragic consequences. By the end of the first season, a plan is developed to take down Manticore, one with Lydecker who defects from Manticore after an attempt to assassinate him, and the death of [[Tinga]], one of "his kids." The plan is to destroy the genetics lab, crippling Manticore's ability to produce more soldiers. During their raid, Max gets critically injured, and is assumed dead, but she is actually recaptured.
The plan while successfully executed, fails to destroy Manticore. Instead, a new, larger Manticore facility gets set up an hour outside of Seattle, Washington.
Eventually, Max escapes and reunites with Logan, only to discover that she's become a carrier to a deadly virus which was genetically targeted for Eyes Only. Max helps Logan expose Manticore. Director [[Elizabeth Renfro]] carries out the threat she made to Max, to destroy the facility and all the people within, but Max, with Joshua's help, sets most of them free. The numerous transgenics who escape create the eventual public knowledge of their existence. Transgenic [[Alec]] saw how Manticore tried to destroy all his colleagues, so becomes disillusioned with them and becomes an ally of Max.
Max's problems are further compounded when the government starts hunting down and destroying the escaped Manticore soldiers, led by [[Ames White]]. White is both a government agent, and a member of a secret ancient breeding cult similar in structure to the Illuminati which spans millennia. He's particularly focused on Max, who is revealed to have been created without junk DNA and for a special purpose.▼

Max and her allies spend a lot of time covering up, taking out, or protecting the more odd of the Manticore Alumni. Eventually, they come face to face with the deadly [[The Phalanx|Phalanx]], elite soldiers from the breeding cult, and defeat them in a ferocious hand-to-hand combat at [[Jam Pony]]. Then they escape join the other transgenics in the toxic section of Seattle, called [[Terminal City]], and make a stand for their rights against the hostile humans.
