Alienators: Evolution Continues (also known as Evolution: the Animated Series in some regions) is an animated comic science fiction television series. It is a continuation of the 2001 Ivan Reitman science fiction film, Evolution.[3] [4] 26 episodes were produced.
Created by Louis Gassin, the series is produced by DIC Entertainment, L.P. in association with The Montecito Picture Company, Columbia TriStar Television and Dentsu Inc., the latter of which handled distribution of the series in Asian territories. Although the Evolution intellectual property was owned by DreamWorks (and is now the property of Paramount Pictures which own the studio's pre-2010 live-action back catalog), the series itself is now owned by WildBrain (formerly DHX Media).
The series was the basis for a Game Boy Advance game, that was developed by Digital Eclipse and published by Activision.
Premise [edit]
As with the film, the premise of the series is that a meteor carrying organisms that evolve at a very quick rate crashes into the Arizona Desert; single-celled alien organisms on this meteor quickly evolve into monstrous creatures, dubbed the "Genus". A team of scientists, the Alienators, must eliminate all these creatures before they destroy all life on Earth. The characters, Ira Kane, Harry Block, Lucy Mai, and Wayne Green must study all these extraterrestrial lifeforms and find a way to defeat them all. The "Genus" is led by a "humanoid manifestation" named Scopes.
Characters [edit]
- Scientist Ira Kane – His expertise, along with his excitement and passion about science, helps him lead the team in eliminating the Genus.
- Scientist Harry Block – A coach who always keeps up on game scores, etc., and loves coaching the women's team. His strategies help the team to victory.
- Lt. Lucy Mai – A tough and aggressive but benevolent lieutenant trained by a Special Forces team called The Blue Berets. She is very talented with martial arts and acrobatic. Lucy uses many kinds of gymnastics (such as handsprings, cartwheels or rolls) in fighting to keep balance and defeat enemies with perfect agility and strength. She is revealed to be a fan of Broadway.
- Teenage "wannabe fireman" Wayne Grey (who's been renamed Wayne Green) – A 17-year-old firefighter-in-training. Being the first human infected with alien DNA, he develops a "sympathetic mutation", causing him to mutate parallel to any Genus strains encountered.
- Scientist Allison Reed has no direct work with the Alienators, but is mentioned a few times, no longer retaining a relationship with Ira like in the movie. She is shown to have no physical training. She can use her knowledge on the fight with Genuses
- General Russell Woodman is the pompous windbag in charge of giving the alienators missions.
- G.A.S.S.I.E.: Stands for "Genetically Altered Symbiotic Stasis in Evolution", and is the team's pet. It was an alien cell originally neutralized by Ira. It evolved into Gassie, a slime creature that yips and behaves just as a dog, who can detect and track other Genus creatures. When Gassie detects the Genus, he quivers and emits a foul odor. He is close with Wayne
- Scopes- the Genus's leader. Super intelligent, maniacal, arrogant, and intent on taking over the universe. His most common form is as a humanoid octopus... though he's also taken on the form of a humanoid wasp, a humanoid cockroach, a centaur with zebra stripes and eland horns, a humanoid tree, a humanoid fusion of a bull and a horse, an organic gargoyle, a humanoid spider, an octopus fused with a wendigo, and more. His name is a reference to the Scopes trial.
- General Granger- An arrogant and treacherous general who seeks to use the Genus to conquer Earth, eventually becoming Scopes' pawn.
