The X-Family (simplified Chinese: 终极一家; traditional Chinese: 終極一家; pinyin: zhōng jí yī jiā) is a Taiwanese drama that aired in Taiwan on August 8, 2007 starring Pauline Lan, Jiro Wang, Danson Tang, Huang Xiao Rou, Calvin Chen, and Aaron Yan. It is the sequel to KO One, which aired in the winter of 2005 through the spring of 2006.
Synopsis
Beside our own time-space, there are eleven other dimensions that exist side by side with Mojie, a dimension where evil resides. Mojie has taken over ten of these dimensions in a series of showdowns between good and evil. However, the inter-dimensional war for the Gold dimension resulted in a tie in which both Mojie forces and KO fighters suffered great damages. Now, the story continues in the Iron dimension where the outcome has yet to be decided.
Xiu is charged with the mission to find KO fighters’ alternate selves in his corresponding Iron dimension in order to restore their powers and turn the tide against the dark forces. His search leads him to a boy named Xia Tian, Wang Da Dong's counterpart, who has the potential to become a savior of worlds, a Zhong Ji Tie Ke Ren.
Xia Tian’s incredible power is sealed away by a Feng Long Tie on his neck making him essentially a Ma Gua. Any attempt to use his power would awaken Gui Long, an evil entity in him. But, Gui Long is not the only obstacle Xia Tian has to overcome to become the Zhong Ji Tie Ke Ren. His family’s objections and his own lack of interest in becoming the savior of worlds is another. However, his attitude begins to change after he meets a girl from his childhood, Han. To save her life, he boldly goes into Mie to recover her soul. Then and there, he realizes he needs to become stronger so he could protect those he loves.
Although Xia Tian has the resolve to become the Zhong Ji Tie Ke Ren, he must go through many more tests and trials that will break his bones and his heart before he could be the one.

Character Bios
The Xia Lan Xing De Family (夏蘭荇德 家族)
Xia Xiong (夏雄)
Xia Lan Xing De Xiong (夏蘭荇德 雄) (43 years old), also known as Xia Xiong, is the mother of Xia Yu, Xia Tian, and Xia Mei.
As the sole bread winner in the family and owner of a truck company, she takes on the roles that traditionally belong to fathers and sons.
Despite her tough exterior, she desires the closeness and comfort of a normal family life.
She loves to cook, but most people are repulsed by her cooking because she makes the worst food and would do anything to avoid eating it. The only people that enjoy her cooking are Demon Hunter, Jiu Wu and herself, which explains why she doesn't stop making food even though everybody protests.
She wants her children to lead normal lives, so she sealed Xia Tian and Xia Mei's powers with a Feng Long Tie since they were young. Of all her children, she worries about Xia Tian the most. His closeness with his father upsets her because she does not want her son to follow his father's footsteps in becoming a musician.
She divorced Ye Si Ren because he was irresponsible as a father and unfaithful as a husband. Although, her marriage fell apart years ago, she still loves Ye Si Ren and desires his company. When Ye Si Ren reveals his identity as a member of the Ye He Na La Family, she finally expresses her feelings for him and the two of them become closer than ever. But obstacles don't stop coming in-between them from there; first, they learn that Han is Ye Si Ren's long lost daughter which angers Xia Xiong. Second, the master of the Ye family uses his own son to try and take over the world. And finally, Xia Xiong gets trapped in the dimensional border and her loved ones almost forgot about her. But after going through these obstacles, the two finally end up together again.
Because of her manly personality, people usually refer to her as Xiong Ge (雄哥) meaning Big Brother Xiong; people including her father Xia Liu, her ex-husband Ye Si Ren, and her eldest son Xia Yu. Aside from her everyday nickname, she also has other nicknames; Lao Mu Da Ling (Mama Darling - 老母達令) by Xia Mei and Lao Ma (Mom - 老媽) by Xia Tian; Lan Ling Wang also calls her Fu Ren (夫人 - meaning something like Madam or Mrs).
She wears a glove called “Qi Lin Shou” (麒麟手) to cast a Xia family spell called “Qi Lin Mai Chong Guang Tao Can” (麒麟脈衝光套餐). She also has a Wu Feng (烏風), which is a gun given to her by The God of Guns. It is powerful enough to kill any evil entity and is able to temporarily transfer the combined power of 99 spirits trapped in the Wu Feng (烏風) to a person who is completely pure in heart and mind with the help of The Great Traveler. While The God of Guns can access the gun's full potential, she can only access 30 percent of its powers.
Xia Tian (夏天) / Gui Long (鬼龍)
Xia Lan Xing De Tian (夏蘭荇德 天) (17 years old), also known as Xia Tian (Summer in translation), is the middle child of the Xia siblings.
Xia Tian is a sweet kid with a good heart, but he often gets taken advantage of due to his naivety. Though he is born with powerful abilities, he dislikes using them.
Since he made little effort in controlling his powerful but unstable abilities, a Feng Long Tie (封龍貼) was placed on his neck making him no different from a Ma Gua. However, when he takes off the Feng Long Tie, he transforms into Gui Long (鬼龍 / Ghostly Dragon), a rebellious personality with greater powers and affinity for evil, who on several occasions, attempts to destroy Xia Tian in order to become the dominant personality. But although they are enemies, they have once come together to fight against Zack, their evil counterpart from the Bronze Dimension. Despite Xia Tian’s inability to control Gui Long, his mother made him the guardian of the Xia family heirloom, the Feng Long Ka (封龍卡), a mini disk containing everything about power-users. The disk is embedded in the Gui Long Pi Ke (鬼龍鎞克), the guitar pick that Gui Long uses as his weapon.
Xiu believes Xia Tian has the potential to become a Zhong Ji Tie Ke Ren (終極鐵克人), a savior of worlds, so he taught Xia Tian to play guitar and control Gui Long. Xia Tian would eventually become strong enough to remain as himself without the Feng Long Tie.
His biggest motivation for developing his power is Han, a girl he met when he was a child and has liked ever since. To save her life, he rushed into Mie to rescue her trapped soul and was willing to trade his soul for hers. When they both safely returned to the human world, their love blossomed, but not without trials. First, his father told him Han was his half-sister. They were forced to separate and treat each other with indifference. Then, he found out Han was part his paternal grandfather’s conspiracy to steal his power. His grandfather’s plan backfired and took Gui Long with it. But the good news is that he and Han are not related and the two finally get a happy ending.
He dreams to follow his father’s footsteps and become a musician, an idea his mother strongly opposes to initially. Eventually he convinces his mother to allow him to follow his dream, and then becomes the lead singer of Dong Cheng Wei (東城衛).
In order for Xia Tian to become Zhong Ji Tie Ke Ren, he must find the five original power-users of wind, fire, thunder, lightning and rain and collect their elements. Eventually, he collects the five elemental powers and becomes the legendary Zhong Ji Tie Ke Ren, and uses the guitar Tie Ke Wu Ji (鐵克無極) as his primary weapon.
Xia Tian is nicknamed Xiao Ge (小哥), meaning Little Big Brother, by his sister.
Xia Tian has an alternate counterpart named Wang Da Dong (汪大東) in the Gold Dimension and an evil alternate counterpart named Zack in the Bronze Dimension.<br=clear "all">
Xia Yu (夏宇) / Gui Feng (鬼鳳)
Xia Lan Xing De Yu (夏蘭荇德 宇) (22 years old), also known as Xia Yu, is the eldest of the three siblings.
Xia Yu rarely worries his mother.
As a student majoring in law and finance at National Taiwan University, he is great with money and handles the family budget, and is also a money-lover. He always cooks and takes care of his younger siblings during his mother's absence.
Despite being the person everyone trusts and relies on, he resents being the only Ma Gua in the family and doing the menial jobs around the home. His resentment grows when he found out that his mother had given the Feng Long Ka to Xia Tian instead of him, the eldest son, because of his Ma Gua status. Evil sees his jealousy and uses that to turn him evil by giving him a ring to absorb other people's powers. The ring unwittingly unlocks Xia Yu's sealed power. As it turns out, he is not a Ma Gua by birth. Rather, his father secretly sealed his power upon birth because he exhibited the evil genes. When he fully comes into his powers, his dark instincts start to take over. The situation forces his father to use the Soul Cleansing Melody (洗魂曲) to cleanse his soul and seal his power again.
Although he did not have any real love interest in the story, he did fall for the Fire Ant Girl, an assassin his paternal grandfather sent. He learned the ant-language so as to communicate with her and he truly cared for her. However, their relationship did not last as she was soon killed by Xia Tian's evil counterpart, Zack.
Xia Yu's powers remain sealed until his paternal grandfather's plan to take over the world backfires causing a beam of dark energy to strike directly at him, turning him into Gui Feng (鬼鳳 / Ghostly Phoenix), who is the original power-user of fire (火). Gui Feng is so powerful that not even the Feng Long Tie can suppress him completely. But since his element is needed to help Xia Tian become Zhong Ji Tie Ke Ren, they cannot strip his powers away. His family eventually find a way to contain Gui Feng by using Bing Gu Zhou to cool his fire, which gives Xia Yu the time that he needs to learn to control Gui Feng. Later on, Gui Feng seems to be able to be released to the world even when he still wears the necklace. Although Gui Feng is more powerful than Gui Long, he appears to be not as arrogant as he was and shows care for his family too.
There is a possibility that Gui Feng is actually the reincarnation of Gui Long.
Xia Yu is nicknamed Shi Li Gui (勢利鬼), meaning something similar to Advantage-Mad Man, by Xia Mei, and Lao Ge (老哥) by Xia Tian, meaning Big Brother, and has at some point been called Xiao Yu, meaning Little Yu (小宇), by his dad.
Xia Yu is the alternate counterpart of Lei Ke Si (雷克斯) - both are just as good at their studies and both have revealed evil tendencies at some point. Although Lei Ke Si did not appear in the storyline, he did appear in the introduction theme, a flashback of his battle against his enemy and as an image of KO 2 on the Top Ten KO News.
Xia Mei (夏美) / Gui Wa (鬼娃)
Xia Lan Xing De Mei (夏蘭荇德 美) (16 years old), also known as Xia Mei, is the youngest child and the only daughter in the Xia Family. Of all the members in her family, her powers are least powerful. Has anger issues, and is very persistent.
She likes to use her powers to scare or electrocute people whenever she gets angry, by ripping off her Feng Long Tie partially: Ren Chen Wen often falls victim to her power of electricity.
When Xia Mei rips off her Feng Long Tie completely, she becomes Gui Wa (鬼娃 / Ghostly Doll), and scares people with Zhen Zi (貞子 - a demon from the movie Ring), a ghostlike demon with pale skin and a green glow, which she cojures with a little puppet that appears along when she transforms. It seems that Zhen Zi has been her best friend since childhood, though she is rarely seen in the later parts of the story.
Initially, she has a crush on Xiu, the guitarist in the band Dong Cheng Wei (東城衛), but later falls for Lan Ling Wang. She is so obsessed with Lan Ling Wang that she is willing to sacrifice anything for him. However, when she realizes how much Lan Ling Wang truly loves his fiancée Bing Xin, she decides to give them her full support. Including arranging a wedding for them and giving Bing Xin the wedding dress her mother kept for her wedding. In the end, she still loves the guy, but they remain friends.
She is called Mei Mei Jie (美美姊), means Big Sister Mei Mei, by Ren Chen Wen; Lao Mei, means Little Sister (老妹) by Xia Tian, and sometimes Hua Chi Mei (花痴美) by Xia Yu, meaning something like Crazy Mei.
Xia Mei is the alternate counterpart of Sha Jie (煞姊) - both are as instinctive, they act very petty and hostile against those they hate and like to express their feelings to those they love. Sha Jie does not appear in the storyline, but she does appear in the introduction theme along with Lei Ke Si.
Xia Liu (夏流)
Xia Lan Xing De Liu (夏蘭荇德 流) (70 years old), also known as Xia Liu, is the playful grandfather of Xia Tian, who literally sleeps under the house as the entrance is located under the living room table.
Removing people's memories is one of his many abilities.
His main weapon is a pair of cymbals called Ke Mo Ba (剋魔鈸), which he uses to attack and to cast offensive and defensive spells. He has also been seen wielding other weapons, such as a trumpet called Long Wen Hao (龍紋嚎) and a staff called Jiang Mo Zhang (降魔杖).
Xia Liu is the guardian of the entrance to the ghostly dimension, Mie.
This old man is stubborn, but kind-hearted. He may be senile, but he is also the most powerful member in the family. That is before Xia Tian becomes the superior member.
In free-time, he likes to hang out with his friends, Jiu Lai and Demon Hunter, on a mountain where they can be alone and discuss things.
Pizza and Zhen Zhu Nai Cha (珍珠奶茶) are some of his favourite meals.
He despises Ye Si Ren even before he married his daughter, but has learned to accept him over time, though he keeps getting angry and accusing Ye Si Ren for things that he had not done. He didn't like Lan Ling Wang at first either, but after he sacrificed himself to save their world, he starts to change his mind. He has given each of them a golden watch, saying that he only has one and "it" can only be given to someone like them, when the fact is that he has a whole collection of golden watches in his bedroom.
Xiu Liu is excellent at sewing when he is motivated.
Everyone knows him as Ah Gong (阿公), meaning Maternal Grandpa.
Xia Liu is also the alternate counterpart of Wang Da Dong's father, Wang Tian Yang (汪天養).
Other Support Characters
Lan Ling Wang (蘭陵王)
His full name is Gu La Yi Er Lan Ling Wang (古拉依爾 蘭陵王) (19 years old). He once was a trained general for the Ye He Na La family. He carries a sword from the Mojie known as Lan Ling Zhan (攔靈斬), and can use it to gather energy and produce a powerful blast called Fen Jian Da Fa (弅劍大法), which can eliminate everything within 100 miles, including himself.
When he first appears in the story, he just appears and disappears around the Xia family and Dong Cheng Wei, and was ordered to find the two missing melodies (the Soul Collecting and Soul Cleansing Melodies - 蒐魂曲 and 洗魂曲). When he challenges Xia Tian to reclaim the melodies, he hears from his minion that the young master has captured his family. Ye Si Ren then gives him the melodies, in hopes that he would be able to use them as trade for his family. However, his attempt turns to a disappointment when he finds out that his family has been eliminated. When he tries to claim revenge on the young master, he has his powers drained by a ghostly fireball and becomes a Ma Gua for a time throughout the series, until the master of the Ye family executes his plan to dominate the world, and Lan Ling Wang learns a spell from his ancestor to ruin his plan, and as result destroys the Ye Ha Na La family's power and has his powers restored, as well as making Xia Yu come into his own power. However, the side effect is Xia Xiong getting trapped in the cross-dimensional border.
In the later parts of the story, Lan Ling Wang finds out that someone had put a Seven Star Curse (七星咒) on his family six generations ago, and if he cannot lift it before the eighth generation is born, then the future generations in his family will be Ma Gua forever and become slaves of the Ye He Na La Family. But if he can lift the curse, he will gather up the energy his ancestors have collected over the centuries, turning him into Zhong Ji Tie Ke Ren. In the end, he only lifts half-the curse and remains that way forever.
According to Jiu Wu, he has the biggest chance of becoming Zhong Ji Tie Ke Ren. At the same time, they discover that Lan Ling Wang is one of the specific power-users that Xia Tian needs to find in order to become Zhong Ji Tie Ke Ren: the original power user of lightning (電).
Although he knows that Xia Mei is in love with him, he only loves one person; Bing Xin (冰心) - Han's twin sister, whom he thought was dead until Han receives her pain and cry for help. With his friends' help, he finally finds her and gets to spend three wonderful days with her. Thanks to Xia Mei's help, they manage to get married and then say goodbye to each other in the morning.
Of all people in the Xia family, Ye Si Ren is the one he respects most because he saved his father once upon a time; Xia Tian is his best friend; Xia Xiong and Xia Liu are also respected by him; and Xia Mei is the one he gets annoyed with the most.
Xia Mei nicknames him Xiao Lan Lan (小蘭蘭).
Lan Ling Wang is the alternate counterpart of Wang Ya Se (王亞瑟); both are as stubborn and courageous when it comes to saving their friends and families.
Jiu Wu (灸舞)
His full name is Jiu Da Zhang Lao Wu (灸亣镸荖 舞) (17 years old) and carries the title Meng Zhu (盟主), the ruler of the Iron Dimension. An organization called Tie Ke Jin Wei Jun (鐵克禁衛軍 / Iron Protection Team) is under his control to protect the Iron Dimension.
Jiu Wu has been famous since young for his Jiu Bu Qin Gui Shou (九步擒鬼手), which indicates the ability to find the opponent's Achilles' Heel within nine steps. No one has ever escaped this attack until he meets the father and the son of the Ye He Na La Family. He also has the ability to create force fields that prevent evil from entering.
Jiu Wu is a big-eater, and Xiong Ge's cooking is his favourite.
He has a younger brother named Jiu Lai (灸萊), who has the appearance of an old man due to his misuse of supernatural powers.
According to Xia Liu, every member of the Jiu Da Zhang Lao family was super-powerful, but they all lived short lives.
Jiu Wu believes that both Lan Ling Wang and Xia Tian have the potential to become Zhong Ji Tie Ke Ren. He can also tell that Xia Yu is no ordinary Ma Gua.
After the original power-user of thunder is revealed, Jiu Wu reveals himself as the original power user to the element of rain (雨). However, because his power is needed to maintain the force field that protects the Iron Dimension, he cannot transfer his energy to Xia Tian or go to the Gold Dimension to restore Xiao Yu's powers, who is his alternate counterpart in the Gold Dimension.
Unlike his alternate counterpart Ding Xiao Yu (丁小雨), Jiu Wu likes to talk a lot and occasionally makes up jokes that only he thinks are funny.
Ye Si Ren (葉思仁)
His full name is Ye He Na La Si Ren (葉赫那啦 思仁) (46 years old) and has the nickname Dead Man (死人). He is the ex-husband of Xia Xiong, and the owner of the pub "The Ass Pub" (老屁股), and is a very gifted musician. Because of his childishness and unfaithfulness, he and Xia Xiong's marriage ended years ago, but he still has feelings for her as demonstrated by his interference in Xia Xiong's dates. Even though he was not a very good husband, he is a very good father, and will do anything in his capacity to protect his family.
From the start, he appears as a Ma Gua to everybody, but as the story progresses, he reveals himself as a member of the Ye He Na La family as he plays the Soul Cleansing Melody (洗魂曲) to cleanse Xia Yu's evil instincts and powers. He is the one who sealed Xia Yu's powers when he was a baby, as well as giving the Soul Collecting Melody (蒐魂曲) to a Chord to save Han.
When things between him and Xia Xiong are finally starting to get better again, he discovers that Han is his long-lost daughter, and has no choice but to split up Xia Tian and Han. But when things start to go back on track, again, his father comes in and everything is ruined, again. But everything turns around in the end, and he gets to live happily ever after with his family.
On occassions, he is known as Si Ren Tuan Zhang (死人團張) to other people, meaning Dead Man Leader; his children call him Lao Ba (老爸), which translates Dad; and Lan Ling Wang calls him Da Sao Ye (大少爺 - eldest young master in translation).
Unlike the others, Ye Si Ren has two alternate counterparts in the Gold Dimension named Duan Chang Ren (斷腸人) and Hei Long (黑龍).
Xiu (脩)
His full name is Hu Yan Jue Luo Xiu (呼延覺羅 脩) (20 years old). Xiu is the leader and the guitarist in the band, Dong Cheng Wei (東城衛). His weapon is a guitar pick called Shen Feng Pi Ke (神風鎞克), which has the power to increase its master's magical abilities and produce healing energy.
Xiu has the ability to force someone to act according to his commands.
At first he thought that Xia Tian was just a Ma Gua, until he sensed his special powers, and started suspecting that Xia Tian might have the potential to become Zhong Ji Tie Ke Ren. Then he becomes Xia Tian's guitar teacher and later trainer.
Aside from protecting the universe and teaching Xia Tian how to play the guitar as well as teaching him to control his powers, he is also set on another mission: to find the Iron Dimension counterparts of Wang Da Dong, Wang Ya Se and Ding Xiao Yu, and use the counterparts to restore their powers.
Because he is usually quiet and focused, it comes surprising to people that he has a playful side.
Xiu and Han had a tendency to fight each other the second they see each other due to a genetic hatred. Later, they learn to overcome that. He also secretly develops a soft spot for Han but does not allow himself to fall in love with her because of his duty. Even when Han and Xia Tian were misunderstood to be half-siblings, he just kept being her friend. And when Jiu Wu asked why he didn't seize his chance to be with Han, he replied that he just hoped that she and Xia Tian would have a happy ending now that there was nothing separating them from each other anymore. Whenever someone asks questions about his love life, he just replies "Dong Cheng Wei only plays music, and don't talk about love (東城衛只彈琴不談情)."
Xiu is the original power-user for the element, wind (風). He is the first to transfer his power to Xia Tian as well as telling him to find the other four original power-users.
Though Xiu did not have an alternate self in the Gold Dimension, he did play a minor role in the last series of KO One where he played music with Da Dong. Only few people in other dimensions know of his band's existence.
Han (寒)
Her full name is Han Ke La Ma Han (韓克拉瑪 寒) (17 years old). Han is the girl Xia Tian met and saved from a gang of naughty kids when she was young. She gave him her hairpin as a gift, and the two became friends. After her mom died, she was abducted by evil power-users. Xia Tian has missed her since she disappeared, thinking that she moved away.
Years later, Han reappears when Xia Tian and his father are attacked by loan sharks and unwittingly rescues them (although she does hit him on the head). The next night, Xia Tian and his friends go back to look for her and he recognizes her as soon as he sees the picture that he took with her and her mom on the same day he rescued her. However, she has completely forgotten about her friendship with Xia Tian along with everything else that happened before she was kidnapped. When Han finds out that he is the boy she met and that he has a crush on her, she tells him to leave her alone, because she would never fall for him. But after Xia Tian sacrifices himself to save her, her feelings begin to change and she takes back what she said.
Unbeknownst to her, she is a Stone-Hearted Assassin (石心殺手), controlled by evil powers and is once ordered to kill Xia Tian but gets defeated by Gui Long instead. After Han failed her mission, she begins to turn into stone, but Xia Tian manages to save her with Sou Hun Qu (蒐魂曲). But she has completely lost memories about herself and becomes Xia Tian's sweet girlfriend, acting only on the feelings that she has had for him since before she lost her memory. But when she finds out that she and Xia Tian are half-siblings, she moves out of his house and starts living and working at The Ass Pub (老屁股), which her father owns.
Lan Ling Wang has a fiancée named Bing Xin (冰心) who looked exactly like her. As she starts receiving Bing Xin's visions of the past, she finds out that she and Bing Xin are twins, and later also finds out that she and Xia Tian are not siblings but were fooled by other people, which allows them to finally get back together and live happily ever after.
Han has the power to read one's mind and uses a pair of drumsticks known as Jing Lei (驚雷) as her weapons which she has transferred her soul into. Aside from fighting, she also uses the drumsticks for drumming.
Han's and Xiu's family carry a genetic hatred against each other, but they try very hard not to fight each other. Eventually, they overcome that hatred and the two families become friends again.
When Han sacrifices herself to save Xia Tian by taking in a deadly attack and accidentally transfers her energy to him, they realize that she is the original power-user to the element of thunder (雷).
She is the alternate self of the female KO fighter Cai Yun Han (蔡雲寒), who is just as independant as she. They both share the same name.
A Chord
A Chord (20 years old), the alternate self of Sha Yu (鯊魚), is the lead singer of the band Dong Cheng Wei in the show.
A Chord uses the Gui Zhan Yin Cha (鬼戰音叉) as his weapon.
He is somewhat of a funny guy, who does not know the appropriate time to talk.
He did not like Lan Ling Wang initially, preferring to let him die. But he learns to overcome that issue after everything that Lan Ling Wang did to save their world.
A Chord became the Bei Cheng Wei's (北城衛) leader after the previous leader was killed by Zack, and Xia Tian joined the Dong Cheng Wei (東城衛) as the singer.
Initially, he seems to have a thing for Xia Mei when they first met at The Ass Pub. But later on, he develops a crush on Xia Xiong for a short period of time, and it is also revealed that Jiu Wu and him were classmates in elementary school.
A Chord knows of Da Dong's existence, but it's doubtful that he knows of his Gold Dimensional alternate counterpart's.
Minor Characters
The Great Traveler (神行者) / The God of Guns (槍靈王)
The Great Traveler is the master of Jiu Wu, a very powerful warrior with very shiny teeth. He is 200 years old, but has the appearance of a 20-something year-old man. His specialty is a special attack called Shen Xing Jiu Bu (神行九步), an attack that he rarely uses, but has very powerful effects, his other abilities include Shen Xing Jiu Zhuan (神行九轉), which indicates the ability to create illusions and to alter energy movements; and Shen Zhi (神指), which indicates the ability to give people direction or information when they least suspect it, such as giving them direction to a place when they watch TV.
He and his evil half - the God of Guns (槍靈王) were legendary warriors, known by others as good friends. However, they are in fact the same person, with the Great Traveler as the good half and the God of Guns as the evil half. The Great Traveler never knew anything about the God of Guns being a part of him until Xia Tian and Jiu Wu figured it out. In the end, he sacrifices himself for the sake of the world.
The Fire Ambassador (火焰使者)
The Fire Ambassador is an executor who stops chaos and restores balance to a dimension, presumably good by nature. Whenever a dimension runs amuck, he will appear to annihilate all the evil with his power of fire. However, it would also mean that he will eliminate everything living in that dimension and makes them start over again. No one can stop him, not even a Zhong Ji Tie Ke Ren.
Before he arrives, every power-user will have a prophetic dream of his coming.
He fought Xia Tian, Dong Cheng Wei, and the original power-users in a great battle. In the end, he was persuaded by the good in their hearts and decided to leave the Iron Dimension alone, despite he might receive some punishment from his superiors.
Although the Fire Ambassador lives beyond space and time, he does have an alternate counterpart in the Gold Dimension: Tian Hong Guang (田弘光), the number one KO Fighter - KO One.

During free time, he likes to hang out with Demon Hunter and Xia Liu in the mountains where they discuss things, business and/or personal subjects.

After Ye Si Ren returns to his family to find out what his father is planning, he finds out that his cousin has become the family's personal chauffeur. When the power of the Ye He Na La family was displaced by the death of the lord, Ye Si Si makes his last appearance at his cousin's club and tells him about the conspiracy that his father made to control people. After that, he is never seen again.
Ye Si Si is the alternate counterpart of Yu Sheng De (于聖德), Tian Hong Guang's former teacher, in the Gold Dimension.
Ye He Na La Xiong Ba (葉赫那啦 雄霸)
Ye Si Ren's father, lord of the Ye He Na La family. He allowed his son to leave and marry Xia Xiong, but only because he wanted to use their children in attempt to take over the world. He had been planning for 20 years. Before finally executing his plan, he made his grandson Xia Tian go through several obstacles in order to make him stronger, and even faked his own death.
One of his many abilities is an astral projecting power called Hun You Da Fa (魂游大法), which enables him to project his soul and take control of another body.
Finally he possessed his own son and used Xia Tian's power to absorb powerful energy to rule the whole dimension and made Gui Long, Xia Tian's evil half, disappear forever. But his plan was backfired when Lan Ling Wang learned a spell to take away the energy that he absorbed, and he was killed by the impact of the spell.
Because Xia Tian's maternal grandpa doesn't allow them to call him "grandpa", he just refers him as Lao Ba De Lao Ba (老爸的老爸), Dad's dad in translation.
Xiao Long Nu (小聾女) & Guo Er (過兒)
A couple of magical doctors, and lovers. Whenever someone calls their names, they will appear immediately, even by accident. When Ye Si Ren explained to Xia Yu how they discovered he was a Ma Gua, a flashback was shown with Ye Si Ren and Xiong Ge visiting the two doctors, who were as young as they are now, which makes it seem that they have existed for hundreds of years.

Vincent
Xia Xiong's boyfriend in the first episodes. He was supposed to be the owner of Tayoto, but was in fact a servant sent by the Illusionary Eye to obtain the Feng Long Ka.

When Xia Tian, Xia Mei and Xia Yu found out that their powers were suppressed by a demonized power-user, they tried to expose him in front of their mother. Their attempt succeeded, but then he attacked them with his spell to control others. The family was in great trouble and almost killed each other until Xiu cast his controlling spell on him and turns the event around. Vincent managed to escape Xiu's spell and went back to his master and begged for mercy. He was allowed to live, but was tortured as punishment for his failure. He was not seen again since then.
Later, Xiu revealed that Vincent was actually a traitor of his family, the Hu Yan Jue Luo family. Which explained how he inherited the ability to control others.

The master of the Ye He Na La Family ordered her to kill Lan Ling Wang in order to prevent him from lifting the curse put upon him, but because she was already in love with him, she could not bear to do it. She was therefore killed by the assassin, Zack; Xia Tian's alternate counterpart from the Bronze Dimension.
Everybody thought that she was dead until Han started sensing her pain and hearing her cry for help, and then they find a way to reclaim her body and soul. However, because her transformation to becoming a demon was interrupted, she began to die slowly. In order to let Bing Xin spend more time with Lan Ling Wang, Han lends her energy to Bing Xin. But the method only lasts for three days. Once the time limit is up, she must return the energy to Han, or Han will die in her place. Though she is resistant to let go of her loved one, she decides to make the best of her days with Lan Ling Wang. The two eventually get married on the second day, and say goodbye to each other in the morning.
Bing Xin is the other alternate counterpart of Cai Yun Han (蔡雲寒). Though she doesn't use the name Han, the similarity is the same. Han (寒) - cold, and Bing Xin (冰心) - heart of ice.
Although it is not confirmed, there is a possibility that Bing Xin is also an original power-user of thunder.

When all of those failed, he sent his last minion to turn Xia Yu against his family by giving him a ring to give him powers and use him to obtain the object. When he realized that Xia Yu was born a power-user of darkness, he tried to take over his body. However, when Ye Si Ren came in and shows him the Soul Cleansing Melody, he ran away in fear and had not been seen since then.
He is often known as the Eye with no S.

Finally, he met Xia Tian again on the street, but this time Xia Tian gave him all of his money (though it wasn't enough) and walked away.
In a flashback, his younger version and his gang picked on little Han and took her hairpin, but little Xia Tian stopped them and rescued her (or rather she rescued him).
He also bumped into Xiu once who was injured in a battle against Han. He tried to offer to take him to a hospital and give him money to buy medicine.
After missing out in many episodes, Dao Ba Jason reappears at the Xia Lan Xing De family's house and reveals that he is Key Man, a man with the power to close the dimensional portal. In order to protect him from evil, the family is forced to let him live in their house.
When Xia Tian goes to the Gold Dimension to read a manga series that foretells their future, he finds out that Dao Ba Jason will actually be taken by evil and sacrificed to lock the portal.

If a person enters that place, he can't get out and will slowly be forgotten by those that know him and then disappear along with the rest of the dimension he originally comes from. The only way to get out is to open the dimension portal and allow the person to return. Once that person enters, everything he sees will represent his home and the people that he knows, but in the form of illusion, or more like filming stage.

- Wu Feng (烏風): A powerful gun containing 99 spirits that were killed by it. It can kill any evil, and also temporarily amplify the power of good, but it will only work if the target's heart is completely pure, meaning he must not have a single thought of evil in his mind and his heart, and combined the gun's power with the Great Traveler's Shen Xing Jiu Juan (神行九轉). This gun once belonged to the God of Guns who had full access to its full potential, but then is passed on to Xiong Ge who only has 30 percent of access to its full power. If its master is near, it will react, and if it's broken it can revive itself by sensing the presence of its master.

If a power-user marries a Ma Gua, there are four possible results in their offsprings. First, they may not have powers of their own due to their Ma Gua bloodline. Second, the children will be born with powers, but will be unable to control them. Third, they develop powers after some time, probably because the Ma Gua bloodline suppressed their potential when they are young.

The most common abilities shared with powerful power-users are telepathic communicating and super-speeding.

Although there are many ways to become Zhong Ji Tie Ke Ren, the most notable method is to gather the elements of five original power-users, and to lose all of your original powers and start over again.

Notes
Making of The X-Family
Although, The X-Family had a strong sci-fi/ fantasy feel, the production crew viewed it as a futuristic wuxia film. Their goal was to show the way wuxia would be when it's in the present day and in the future.[1] In the first episode they paid homage to the wuxia genre by having Xiu transfer his energy to the KO Fighters in an effort to restore their powers. This "transferring of energy" to help others is a recurring theme in The X-Family.
While working on this show, the writing team made a conscious effort to continue the comic book theme from KO One, as well as to incorporate video game elements popular with their teenage viewers. To do this, they gave almost all their Iron Dimension characters special powers and weapons that were more powerful than their Gold Dimension counterparts.[2] For example, Lan Ling Wang has "Lan Ling Zhan," a huge sword that can obliterate a city block when his entire life force is channeled into it. While, his Gold Dimension counterpart Wang Ya Se has "Shi Zhong Jian," a little sword in a rock, that merely enhances his fighting power. To show the effects of different powers and weapons, special effects were used, which tagged on additional filming and post-production time. As result, it took eight months, from September 2006 to April 2007, to finish shooting this show.[3]
The plot may be unrealistic, but the characters are partly based on the actors and actresses who portray them. In the show, Dong Cheng Wei (東城衛) is a unit of the Iron Protection Team that protects the Iron Dimension with its music. In real life, Dong Cheng Wei is a rock band started by Chen De Xiu and Jiro Wang back when they were in high school.[4] Xiu is a current member of this band; Jiro is both a member of this band as well as Fahrenheit.
Controversy
Lan Ling Wang's Costume
Days before its airing date, a wave of opposition against the show played out on the net. Taiwanese netizens pointed out the costume for the character Lan Ling Wang had a high degree of similarity to the character Cloud Strife in Final Fantasy VII [5] and blasted the network for its blatant copyright violation.[6] Executive producer Wang Xin Gui was dismayed by the accusation and denied its validity. [7]
Netizens were dissatisfied by the producer’s answer and proceeded to send petitions to boycott the show. The producer responded by issuing a public apology through Comic International Productions Co., Ltd, and stated that they were in the process of negotiating with Square Enix about intellectual property rights. It also stated the similarity between Lan Ling Wang and Cloud Strife was purely coincidental.[8] As result of the uproar, HIM International Music postponed the original soundtrack release date due to its CD album had contained images involved in the copyright dispute.[9] The show and its companion books were released as scheduled.
