The Visitor is an American science fiction television series created by Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin which aired on Fox from September 19, 1997 to January 16, 1998.

It starred John Corbett as Adam McArthur who was abducted by extraterrestrials 50 years earlier and escapes back to Earth to help improve life for humanity.

The series was created in parallel with the world's first webshows, the now defunct Thevisitor.com, which featured alternate characters, interweaving storylines and early use of DHTML animation.

During his abduction, aliens managed to tap into a largely unused portion of his brain which left Adam with the power to heal and bring people back to life.

In addition, FBI agents Wilcox, Larue and Van Patten are reassigned (or forced to resign) after the trio's encounter with Adam and Vise.
