Essential X-Factor #2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects X-Factor issues #26-50 and Annual #3-4, continuing the team's adventures after the original X-Men's return. The stories delve into the political and personal turmoil surrounding mutant registration, with Apocalypse manipulating events behind the scenes and the team grappling with Angel's transformation into Archangel. Key arcs include the introduction of the original Marauders, the Inferno crossover's impact on the team, and the tragic fate of Madelyne Pryor, all building toward the dissolution of X-Factor as a government-sponsored team.
In "When Loki Stood Alone," the junior members of X-Factor brace for a return to school as tensions flare over the Mutant Registration Act. With the Alliance causing chaos in protest, X-Factor finds itself caught between duty and ideology—especially as Beast reclaims his mind and form, and Freedom Force intervenes to enforce compliance. Rusty’s decision to turn himself in marks a turning point in a story that tests loyalty, identity, and the cost of standing apart. Written by Louise Simonson and illustrated by Walter Simonson, with inks by Bob Wiacek and letters by Joe Rosen, this issue features a striking cover by Walter Simonson.
