X-Factor is a ComicBook/DawnOfX title written by Creator/LeahWilliams and drawn by David Baldeón.


Thanks to The Five, any mutant can come BackFromTheDead. However, one of their most sacred rules is to never resurrect anyone without proof of death in order to avoid bringing back [[CloningBlues a living person]]. What if that proof cannot be easily obtained? What if a mutant has simply gone missing? What if you have a good old fashioned murder mystery in your hands? Then X-Factor Investigations has got you covered. Featuring ComicBook/{{Northstar}}, ComicBook/{{Daken}}, [[ComicBook/RachelSummers Prestige]] (and her pet Warwolf Amazing Baby), Eye-Boy, Prodigy, and [[ComicBook/PolarisMarvelComics Polaris]].

!! Tropes featured in X-Factor
* BareYourMidriff: Both Lorna and David during the first issue.
* CastFullOfGay: The team is led by Northstar, who is gay, and there's two bisexuals (Daken and Prodigy), plus AmbiguouslyBi Rachel Summers. Plus, although Northstar's husband Kyle isn't part of the team, he's still a member of the cast.
