X-FACTOR by Mark Russell & Bob Quinn

[Havok83]

Even though she's not necessarily my favorite character, Cecilia really elevates this group and my interest!

I do hope Feral is still in this. I'd rather ditch one of the guys. I like Warren > Havok, but Havok leading a chaotic X-Factor team is more entertaining.

We just don't need three white blonde guys on any team in 2024.

Four......lol

That means nothing. Move along...

I think it’s pretty clear at this point that it does mean something. Hooray, satire.

I am 95% confident that Xyber is Asian and I hope he gets a nice amount of page time to explore his character.

FAME, FORTUNE, MUTANTS! From the ashes of Krakoa, a new mutant arms race sweeps the globe! International governments are building their own mutant armies. But only America’s X-Factor has the most powerful, most patriotic, most marketable mutant heroes to stem the tide and make the world safe for democracy! Join them as they go from one death-defying mission to another. Who will die? Who will fall in love? Who will be the first to sell out? Like, comment and subscribe to find out!

This feels like it's being written by a terminally online person who is incapable of writing something that isn't a tongue in cheek vomit take on everything happening on Twitter. Pass.

Also, Frenzy? Really?

It's been a while since I have read anything with Hijack, but I don't remember him as being the type that would work for the government.

I've seen some thought that Trinary should be on the team instead of the new character. She's another character that I could never picture working for the American Government. If she was working for Uncle Sam I think that it would be a pretty easy guess by the readers that she was some kind of mole or plant for some one else. Even the MU American Government would see that one coming.
I do love Trinary, though, and I hope that she shows up some where in the new era. Most likely she would be part of one of the resistance movements. That or she's already been imprisoned with Siryn, Blob, and Prisoner X.

I know that it doesn't make a lot of sense for almost any of the mutant characters to work for the government, so it's out of character for anybody to join X-Factor, but you have to draw the line somewhere.

There isn't a snowball's chance in hell that characters like Trinary, Firestar or Dazzler or some of the other suggested characters that people would like to see in X-Factor would become government heroes.

Firestar may have only been a plant for Orchis, but after everything she saw while being on the inside with them I can't imagine that she would want to become a government agent.

Now that I've said this I will likely look like a fool and someone like Dazzler will decide to join the team.

There are tons of reasons why Dazzler, Firestar or Trinary could join. Especially Dazzler and Firestar.
They have plenty of reasons to be distrustful of the government, but they could see it as an opportunity to prevent things from escalating to Orchis levels and to steer the team's actions towards the actual wellbeing of mutants. I don't see why it's illogical to have Dazzler there and Angel is ok.
And obviously if the government wants these guys to be seen as heroes, they are a lot more natural additions than former terrorists who barely even payed for their crimes.

So a Duggan brainfart is now an editorially mandated aspect of the character going forward. Terrific.

LOL like of all the things they could keep from the Krakoan era, they pick THIS....

Wtf? I don't think there's a single fan that likes that tattoo.

[Mantis-Ray]

Thats a tattoo? I thought it was a mask.
