Mason Eckhart
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mason Eckhart is a recurring villain in the science-fiction series Mutant X. The character was portrayed by Tom McCamus in all three seasons of the show.
Eckhart appeared in every episode of Season One, usually to direct a lieutenant of his to carry out a mission against the Mutant X team - a band of superpowered mutants dedicated to disrupting the operations of Eckhart's Genetic Security Agency.
Eckhart, who bore an uncanny resemblance to pop art guru Andy Warhol, had one green eye and one purple eye. He also had pale skin, a white wig, and thick glasses due to an accident that compromised his immune system. This incident, known as Incident X, was apparently caused by Adam Kane, Eckhart's arch-enemy, and the leader of Mutant X. As a result, Eckhart was forced to wear synthetic skin in order to stay alive.
At the close of Season One, Eckhart was overthrown, allowing actor Tom McCamus to take on theatrical roles. Eckhart returned in the following two seasons in several different guises (still played by McCamus), but was no longer a central focus of the show.
