Monsoon

Debuting in the pages of X-Factor #99 in 1994, Monsoon arrived at one of Marvel's most creatively charged moments, brought to life by the accomplished team of J. M. DeMatteis and Jan Duursema. Though their catalog footprint is compact, Monsoon shares those pages with a compelling roster — Haven, Random, Strong Guy, and Lorna Dane among them — signaling that this character stepped into serious, high-stakes mutant territory right from the start. The fact that Monsoon's presence echoes across a span stretching all the way to 2019, including the X-Factor Epic Collection, suggests a staying power that rewards the curious reader willing to dig into the deeper corners of the X-universe.
