About this Collection

This volume collects the early issues of Peter David's acclaimed run on X-Factor, featuring the government-sponsored mutant team led by Havok. The stories focus on the team's investigations into mutant-related crimes and their complex dynamics, with standout arcs involving Multiple Man, Strong Guy, and Wolfsbane. David's signature blend of humor, character development, and social commentary is on full display here, making it a must-read for fans of 1990s X-Men adjacent titles.

In "Cutting the Mustard," X-Factor faces a mind-bending mystery when two identical versions of Jamie Madrox—both claiming to be the real one—clash in a high-stakes showdown, leaving the team scrambling to sort truth from duplication. Peter David crafts a sharp, character-driven tale with a touch of humor and heart, as the team grapples with identity, public perception, and the fallout of a new term coined by Guido: "geecee" to describe mutants. Larry Stroman’s dynamic artwork, polished by Al Milgrom’s inks, brings the chaos and emotional weight to life, while Glynis Oliver’s colors and Michael Heisler’s lettering keep the tone crisp and immersive.

There are two Multiple Men duking it out both claiming to be the real Jamie Madrox and X-Factor tries to figure out which one is the real deal while also trying to quell a public relations nightmare. Guido coins the term "genetically challenged" or "geecee" as the preferred way to address a mutant.
