Os Mutantes: Caminhos do Coração

Os Mutantes: Caminhos do Coração (The Mutants: Pathways of the Heart) is a Brazilian telenovela which originally aired on Rede Record.

Plot
The first season of its predecessor, Caminhos do Coração, contains:
 * The revelation of the mystery of Maria's kidnapping
 * The discovery of the identity of the person responsible for the crimes of the bankrupt biotech company Progênese
 * The transformation of Julia Zaccarias into Juli Di Trevi, her identity after receiving a rejuvenating serum
 * The disclosure of Mariana, mother of twins Maria and Samira

Men and women are transformed into vampires, cats, snakes, spiders and werewolves, which attack the streets of São Paulo and disseminate evil as an epidemic. The terrified population pursues the mutants.

Maria and Marcelo meet the League of Good (composed of Noah, Cleo, Tony, Bobby, Janet, Vavá, Pachola, Perpétua, Leonor, Lúcio, Bianca, Juno, Tati, Kaspar, Ágata, Aquiles, Cris, Yara, Nathy, Valente, Simone, Newton, Marisa, Willie, Erica, Eugene, Angela and Clare) in the Mayer family mansion, which becomes the refuge and headquarters of the healthy mutants.

Samira, the twin sister of Maria (trapped in Dr. Júlia's laboratory since her birth 30 years ago), is reported dead. Samira is the most-powerful and evil mutant, since she can absorb the powers of other mutants. She is the right arm of Dr. Júlia Zaccarias, who transforms into Dr. Juli Di Trevi and aims to exterminate all who thwart her.

DEPECOM
DEPECOM (DEpartamento de PEsquisa e COntrole de Mutantes, (Department of Research and Control of Mutants) is restructured, and uses the latest technology to stop the mutants. DEPECOM is divided into two wings. One is composed of Marcelo, Miguel, Aline, Marta, Beto and Ernesto, who want to imprison the violent and preserve the peaceful. They investigate the Evil League (composed of Juli, Samira, Gór, Taveira, Eric, Metamorpho, Fernando, Ariadne, Draco and Telê), organized in São Paulo, and their commanders Juli and Gó. This wing gathers mutant gray wolves, vampires, werewolves, snakes, spiders and other dangerous creatures. The second wing is represented by Fredo and Adolfo, who want to exterminate all mutants (including the peaceful).

The Mystery of Valente
Valente discovers confidential information in the Omega File which reveals that Julia is an alien, and pays the price for his discoveries. Attacked by Fredo and his followers, he loses his memory. Valente has only one portfolio, with papers, cards and documents. He is saved by Gabriela, a doctor. While he tries to unravel the mystery of his own past, he is pursued by Fredo (who wants to kill Valente before his own past comes to light).

Nati, a vampire bitten by Taveira but who has a conscience, will help Valente to find out who he is. She is not affiliated with the Evil League, and is persecuted for exercising her free will and sharing passion with Valente. Nati's good nature overcomes her contamination, and she joins the League of Good.

Saving babies, saving the world
Janete's powers evolve. She can see into the future, and discovers that the survival of humanity depends on the survival of the children of Lúcio and Bianca. Those children must be protected, or humanity will be dominated by vicious mutants.

Bianca and Leonor are sent to Arraial Island with their babies and join the League of Good. Juli discovers Janete's premonition, and attacks the babies and their mothers (who are protected by the League of Good) with members of the Evil League.

Journey to the center of the Earth
Trying to save Lúcio and Juno's babies in the island's tunnels, Maria, Noé, Beto, Perpétua, Cléo and Toni are attacked by mutant insects, the Ant Men, Tarantula Men and giant spiders. Beto and Perpétua escape, but the others are captured by the Carpenter Ant Men and brought to Agartha. The Ant Queen tells them they are in Shangri-La, the Agarthan capital at the center of the Earth.

Juno and Lúcio return to Melquior, the prince of Agartha, who leads the League of Good in the fight against the reptilian aliens and the Evil League. If they join the reptilian army and the Evil League, humanity will perish but; if the babies join the League of Good, humanity will prevail and the reptilians will be defeated.

Vampire League
The mutant vampire Dracula and his lieutenant, Bram, find the former headquarters of the League of Evil and take it over. They recruit vampires to form the Vampire League, a branch of the League of Evil which hosts blood-drinking parties. Nati, a vampire, ends their thirst for destruction.
