XFactor | |
| X-Factor (Comic Book) | comment |
X-Factor debuted as an X-Men spinoff in early 1986. For Marvel, it was the opportunity to bring the original X-Men together after so many years. For the record, Cyclops left the leadership of the X-Men to Storm and tried to live a quiet life with his wife Madelyne Pryor and their son. The Beast, Angel and Iceman had recently left The Defenders. Thus, those characters were free game for other projects.In addition to all that, it just so happened that a recently reformed Magneto had been put in charge of the X-Men by Charles Xavier before the latter left Earth for some years. And more importantly, it turned out that Jean Grey had not died a few years before. She was found sleeping in an escape pod in Jamaica Bay by The Avengers, who brought her to Reed Richards. They all learned, including Jean herself, that the Jean Grey who became Phoenix early in Chris Claremont's run and died in The Dark Phoenix Saga actually was the Phoenix, who replaced Jean in Stephen Lang's platform.Mr. Fantastic brought the news to Angel, who in turn called the other original X-Men, and they all reunited with Jean. They didn't want to deal with Magneto, so they formed a new group. They dedicated themselves to continuing Xavier's dream, with an odd twist: they masqueraded themselves as mutant hunters living in advanced headquarters, while secretely saving and training new mutants. And thus X-Factor was born, with Bob Layton and Butch Guice as the first creative team. Louise Simonson soon replaced Layton and milked the masquerade for all it was worth before discarding it and making X-Factor publicly mutant heroes, in contrast to the X-Men who were hidden outlaws at the time.After the original members rejoined the expanded team of X-Men in 1991, Peter David took the series over. The title switched to detailing the exploits of a new, government-sanctioned team of mutants, most notable for turning C-List Fodder like Jamie Madrox into ascended extras. After Peter David left, the title bounced between writers, finally settling on Howard Mackie, who would write the title for the remainder of its run. The series was eventually cancelled in 1998.In 2006, Marvel launched a new series with Madrox as the lead character of a new X-Factor team with more Film Noir elements than before, where most of the old team and some new members had become private investigators. This book eventually resumed the numbering of the old series, so it breaks down into: vol. 1 #1-#70 (original X-Men), #71-#149 (government team), vol. 2 #1-#50 (detectives), then #200 onwards (still detectives). The series concluded in late 2013.In 2014, Marvel launched All-New X-Factor, still with Peter David and renumbered again. They're a corporate superteam with Polaris as their leader and the mysterious Harrison Snow of Serval Industries as their bankroller. Gambit and Quicksilver joined in the first issue. The series lasted 20 issues.In 2020, Marvel relaunched X-Factor as part of the Dawn of X relaunch. The series goes back to the private investigator premise, with the titular team investigating missing mutant cases to allow for their resurrection by the Five.Has nothing to do with the reality series. | |

Shared Mass Hallucination: How X-Factor publicly handwaved the demon attacks in Inferno.

Aborted Arc: In issue #12, Jean's sister Sara was apparently kidnapped by a group of anti-mutant bigots who blew up her house. Exactly who had Sara was unclear, with her children later turning up as brainwashed prisoners of Nanny during Inferno. Despite Jean vowing to find out what happened to Sara, the story went unresolved in the pages of X-Factor, with Sara's fate only being revealed six years later in an issue of X-Men that tied into the Phalanx Covenant crossover. | |

Brainwashed | |
| X-Factor (Comic Book) / int_41d9aaef | comment |
Brainwashed: Even though Angel had willingly agreed to serve Apocalypse as Death, one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse in exchange for new wings (bear in mind he was borderline suicidal at the time, and everyone thought he was dead), Apocalypse still programmed him to be loyal though, however. He stayed under his control from X-Factor #21 to #25(October, 1987 - February, 1988). It wasn't thorough enough, though, and after apparently killing Iceman, he snaps out of it and attacks Apocalypse. Fortunately, the Iceman he destroyed was only an ice statue of the original and Angel rejoined X-Factor. | |

Literal Disarming: The "Judgement War" storyline culminates in Jean absorbing the energy of the alien factions of the planet where the arc took place, and transferring it to Scott to stop the Celestials' judgement. A cosmic symbol imprinted on Arishem's hand could start the judgement process if his verdict was negative, so Cyclops destroyed the hand with a powered-up optic blast. | |

Characterization Marches On: Cameron Hodge starts out as just the guy who runs things for the team, no more and no less. He eventually turns out to not only be Evil All Along, but one of the most petty and psychopathic villains the X-franchise has. Apocalypse's first encounter has him acting more like a Diabolical Mastermind, even claiming he's a master of disguise with many different identities he could assume, concepts that would fall by the wayside. | |

Always a Bigger Fish: Frenzy is quickly established to be both super-strong and nigh-invulnerable, and Nowlan's power boost ratchets up her powers even further. But Apocalypse is still able to slap her down like she was nothing. | |

Diabolical Mastermind | |
| X-Factor (Comic Book) / int_9080e641 | comment |
Apocalypse's first encounter has him acting more like a Diabolical Mastermind, even claiming he's a master of disguise with many different identities he could assume, concepts that would fall by the wayside. | |

Evil Costume Switch: Havok when he becomes the Goblin Prince to Madelyne Pryor (although the switch in question is really just his old suit reduced to tatters to match Madelyne's outfit). Angel, as Death of the Four Horsemen (he kept his costume after returning to X-Factor and becoming Archangel). Caliban, as a willing servant of Apocalypse. | |

Face–Heel Turn: Angel was brainwashed by Apocalypse into becoming the Horseman of Death; Caliban willingly joined Apocalypse to get a power-up for his revenge against the Marauders; Madelyne Pryor's sanity slipped after realizing she was Sinister's experiment all along; Havok was turned into the Goblin Prince by Madelyne. Angel/Archangel and Havok came back, though. As did Caliban, but not until well after his incarnation in X-Factor. Havok again, during X-Tinction Agenda, this time convinced he was a Genoshan hunter. He got better, again. | |

Retcon | |
| X-Factor (Comic Book) / int_b2280b66 | comment |
Retcon: How Jean was brought back. But it was done in a way that didn't contradict any of the past stories note although the later rehash "Endsong" would contradict events from the "Dark Phoenix Saga", by revealing Phoenix was going around disguised as Jean and Jean herself was alive, if sleeping. In issue #65, a mysterious red-headed time traveler calling herself "Askani" shows up seeking to save a young Nathan, even addressing him as "little brother". In other words, all but outright saying it's Rachel Summers... then in issue #68, suddenly nope! Not Rachel at all, but some rando from the future. | |
