In 1991, the original members of X-Factor rejoined the main X-Men team. Louise Simonson took over the title (with art by Walt Simonson) and quickly introduced Apocalypse and other major elements of the X-Mythos.Īt that time, the series was massively connected to the other X-Titles and events. Eventually, the X-Factor team decides that the “mutant hunter” angle was bad for everybody and stops. Quickly, they decide to set up a business advertised as mutant-hunters for hire in New York City, pretending to be “normal” (non-superpowered) humans to their clients. The five original members X-Men disassociate with the current team because Professor X had placed Magneto as its leader. Launched in 1986 by Bob Layton and Jackson Guice as a spin-off from the X-Men franchise, X-Factor was a team formed by the five original X-Men – Angel, Beast, Cyclops, Jean Grey (Marvel Girl), and Iceman – in response to the outlaw status of the then-current X-Men team.
