He is a human who was given a healing factor by Weapon X while he had cancer.
The problem is that cancer is the uncontrolled division of cells, so its healing factor is interspersed with the cancer itself. In his case, the healing factor doesn't kill cancer, it potentiates it, but it makes up for it because he can't really die, that's why he's so ugly.
The second problem is that his healing factor is so used to dealing with cancer that if it did heal, it would be out of control and kill him, similar to when Wolverine lost the adamantium skeleton and his healing factor was out of control.
I'm talking about this mini from 2016. It was both the first and only (to date) appearance of Bailey Hoskins.

Phrasing in this case was meant more as a joke than "hey there's like a billion cases of this happening and I have receipts," but fair point in asking. If there's more cases that fit the "make a mini focused on a character who was made exclusively for this mini and never use them again" model at Marvel, I'm not aware of them since I'm not a hardcore reader or anything.

So they're not "too busy" making them at all then. They made one.
Jokes are banned, got it.
Though I do use that mini for the more accurate and sincere point of how its existence means any claims of a character not being popular enough or too risky sales-wise is BS. If Marvel had no problem with making that mini, they should have no problem making plenty of other minis with far more demonstrated interest.
