X-Factor Visionaries: Peter David #1

When one of Madrox's duplicates is killed and Jamie can't reabsorb the body, the team is thrust into a crisis that forces X-Factor into the public eye. As the world watches, Guido steps forward with a new identity, marking a turning point for the team — but the consequences of that moment are far from clear.

In "Crowd Control," two men claiming to be Jamie Madrox—each with the same powers and memories—clash in a high-stakes showdown that leaves X-Factor scrambling to sort truth from duplication. As the team races to identify the real Madrox, they also face a growing public relations crisis, all while grappling with the fallout of a new term coined by Guido: "geecee," the preferred label for mutants in the wake of rising tension.

In "Politically Incorrect," X-Factor faces a crisis of identity when they must determine which Multiple Man is the real one, all while navigating a tense standoff with Edmond Atkinsion and the enigmatic Dora. The situation escalates when Strong Guy is challenged by Slab, leading to a clash that sends shockwaves through Washington, D.C.—and topples the Washington Monument.

When one of Multiple Man’s duplicates turns on the team, X-Factor is thrown into a deadly game of cat and mouse with a new crew of super-villains — and the trail leads straight to Edmond Atkinson, whose true identity hides a far more sinister secret.
