| 47 | A brilliant scientist, athlete, and bibliophile, at first the only thing that indicated that Hank [=McCoy=] was a mutant were large hands and feet, and, later, an overall simian aesthetic. However, an experiment to enhance his already superhuman strength and agility transformed him into a blue-furred ape creature and later a blue lion man. Beast is a genius in genetics and biology and enjoys quoting Shakespeare. His even-handed and professorial attitude tend to keep the other members from panicking in situations. He's actually been in more teams than any other X-Man, having been a member of Comicbook/TheAvengers and Comicbook/TheDefenders before; accordingly, being in the public eye as a member of the high-profile Avengers has made him one of the most accepted mutants by society at large. |

Initially one of the proudest members of the group, became more and more progressively useless when several other mutants were introduced who could fly, as well as do many other useful things. Once lost his wings in a fight, which caused him to do a FaceHeelTurn to get cybernetic replacement wings. Sometime after that, he developed regenerative blood which caused anyone touching it (foremost himself, obviously) to heal from any injury. Recently, this wasn't seen as quite enough, so Angel was upgraded to have the ability to switch at will between feathered Angel and evil, razor-winged Archangel forms. |

This is belied by his incredibly deep insecurities, which hampers him both in his career as a superhero and in his personal life. Most of this stems from being raised by a critical, demanding, and mutant-hating father, who treated him shabbily ''before'' Bobby found out he was a mutant. It wasn't until he was possessed by Emma Frost that he started to realize just how much potential he really had. He tries to hide his insecurities by constantly attempting to get attention and recognition with a non-stop stream of verbal wise-assery. |

Then he worked for the US government as their gadget man, only to create the gun that stripped Storm (accidentally: it was meant to be Rogue) of her powers. He nursed her back to health, then got a WhatTheHellHero for it when she found out he was at fault. Sacrificed the X-Men (at the time) with their permission to lock away the entity he had released, after it wreaked havoc in Dallas. He eventually joined the X-Men and wanted to marry Storm, but ultimately left her (and the team) for Mystique when he felt Ororo didn't love him. You can imagine how well ''that'' relationship went, and he regretted his actions when Storm went on to marry the Black Panther. It is theorized he'll become the founder of the X.U.E.

Unlike Wolverine, Sabretooth embraces his primal instincts, leaving death in his wake. Due to a spell gone wrong by Scarlet Witch, Sabretooth got inverted and became a more heroic person for a while. |

| 329 | [[quoteright:269:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/multiple00.jpg]] |
| 330 | %%!!!'''Notable Aliases:''' |
| 331 | !!!'''Nationality:''' American |
| 332 | !!!'''Species:''' Human Mutant |
| 333 | !!!'''First Appearance:''' ''Giant-Size Fantastic Four'' #4 (February, 1975) |
| 334 | |
| 335 | Introduced as an adversary to the Fantastic Four, Jamie Madrox was quickly defeated and Reed Richards determined the young man was actually a mutant, prompting him to contact Professor Charles Xavier. Under Xavier's suggestion, Madrox was then sent to Muir Island, working with geneticist Moira [=McTaggert=] as her research assistant. |
| 336 | |
| 337 | Though he declined an offer to join the ComicBook/XMen, he was later recruited to the government-sponsored ComicBook/XFactor, remaining with them for many years and becoming a stalwart member of the team. He would then join the extremist task force known as X-Corps, which ultimately didn't last very long. |
| 338 | |
| 339 | Following the disbandment of both lineups, Madrox began working as a {{private detective}} in the UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity ghetto known as "[[FantasticGhetto Mutant Town]]". Here, he would form [[ComicBook/XFactor2006 X-Factor Investigations]], rounding up a group of fellow mutants whose uncanny abilities would prove a major asset for the job. After their eventual split, Madrox lingered in mutant-adjacent corners of the Franchise/MarvelUniverse. |
| 340 | |
| 341 | Unfortunately for Madrox, he was [[SacrificialLion one of the first]] mutants to succumb to [[ComicBook/DeathOfX the M-Pox]] while helping study its toxicity to mutantkind on Muir Island. Though Madrox Prime insisted he was ''the'' Multiple Man and not a dupe[[note]] duplicate, not patsy[[/note]] in his dying moments, [[AmbiguousCloneEnding the nature of his mutation leaves his fate ambiguous]]. |
| 342 | |
| 343 | Outside of comic books, Multiple Man has appeared in other media. He's featured as a recurring character in the animated series ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'', and appeared in episodes of ''WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries'' and ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen2009''. He made his live-action debut in the 2006 film ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', portrayed there by Creator/EricDane. In 2017, it was announced a film based on the character was in development by Creator/JamesFranco, who was also set to portray the character himself, but the purchase of Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox by Creator/{{Disney}} has since halted development on the project. |
| 344 | ---- |
| 345 | * AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome: One version of Jamie seen in ''X-Factor'' served as Doctor Strange's apprentice. |
| 346 | * AscendedFanboy: Jamie Madrox keeps attempting to treat his Mutant adventures as Noir Detective novels. He usually fails miserably. |
| 347 | * BadFuture: He got sent off to one with Layla Miller at one point, and came back with an M tattoo over his eye ala Bishop. |
| 348 | * BeardOfSorrow: [[spoiler:He grows one after he involuntarily absorbs his and Siryn's son. He shaves it after he is reunited with Layla.]] |
| 349 | * BlackSheep: He's something of a Black Sheep mutant, being classified as a "changeling", which is either predecessor or offshoot of mutantkind, something which makes his powers ''unusual'', even compared to other mutants. Likely the biggest difference was that his powers manifested at birth, whereas most mutants gain them at puberty. Damien Tryp believes this is his classification too, but also believes he is ''not'' a mutant as a result. |
| 350 | * ButtMonkey: When written by Matthew Rosenberg, who seems to delight in writing Jamie as a brain-dead idiot who gets insulted and killed over and over again. |
| 351 | * CloneAngst: For some time, his duplicates were cool with being who they are. Then things started getting weird. One turns traitor and joins with the long-term X-Men enemy Mister Sinister. Another dies of the Legacy Virus. Jamie starts going around the bend because he's just too much people for one man. Later, he gets it together but his clones don't. All the thousands of aspects, idiotic or not, in the human mind tend to get manifested in his clones. He can and has created a clone to free him from a prison cell but it's possible the clone will be his sadness and be too depressed to move. Another is unpredictable and tries to kill an old ally. It is reabsorbed but indicates that it could pop out in any future clones and go try to kill again. He points this out with an argument against [[spoiler:Cortex, who is one of his dupes sent to kill him.]] |
| 352 | -->'''Madrox''': You are at least the tenth dupe who has tried to kill me. |
| 353 | * DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:Jamie is driven to shooting himself, after he involuntarily reabsorbs his and Siryn's son which causes her to hate him. Layla is able to talk him out of it.]] |
| 354 | * FunPersonified: Under Peter David's writing. Or at least he tries to be. |
| 355 | * GoMadFromTheIsolation: His first appearance has him going on a mindless rampage through New York after spending six years on a farm alone after the death of his parents. |
| 356 | * {{Handwave}}: Jamie's powers provide one of the easiest outs for dying of any character, since if he dies the next writer along can just say "it's a dupe". |
| 357 | * HappilyMarried: With Layla, eventually. Then ''Death of X'' happened. |
| 358 | * JackOfAllTrades: An interesting perk/side effect of his powers. Due to years of sending his dupes out into the world to take different jobs, he's "been" everything from a soldier to a spy to a journalist. He's never ''mastered'' any of these professions, but he's acquired quite a range of them to call on in a pinch. |
| 359 | * LiteralSplitPersonality: Jamie's dupes represent pieces of his personality. |
| 360 | * MesACrowd: With how large that crowd can be increasing over the year. |
| 361 | * MundaneUtility: Jamie constantly uses his dupes like this, sending them out to learn and explore the world, creating them on the other side of locked doors, playing duets on piano and the super-babysitting. One frequent background gag is a bunch of dupes playing cards with each other. |
| 362 | * MySuitIsAlsoSuper: His initial suit was a PowerLimiter to prevent involuntary duplication. When it breaks down after six years of neglect it's capable of general EnergyAbsorption and drains New York City's entire power grid along with delivering that power behind his movements, allowing him to go hand to hand with the Thing. |
| 363 | * NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: The exact nature of his powers change from time to time. Once spent time in the body of an AlternateSelf whose duplication power had the added benefit of literally that; each duplicate had a random superpower. |
| 364 | * PowerPerversionPotential: Siryn at one point wonders to Monet if Jamie used his powers for sex -- more specifically to do a gangbang on someone. While Monet was her usual snobbish self, during the trio's days as part of X-Factor Investigation, she did end up wondering the same thing. Two of Jamie's dupes ended up his powers to have sex with Theresa and Monet at the same time, and later, Jamie did indeed have a three-way with Layla using his powers. |
| 365 | * PsychicGlimpseOfDeath: Absorbing a dying dupe causes Jamie to experience some of their trauma and thoughts as they die. |
| 366 | * PsychicLink: Jamie has a psychic link to his dupes which allows him to track them. It also causes him pain when they are hurt. |
| 367 | * SadClown: Doc Samson's observation is that the isolation he suffered instilled a chronic need for company and attention, which he tries to acquire by being as upbeat and entertaining as often as he can. |
| 368 | * ScarsAreForever: Received an "M" tattoo on his face during the ''Messiah [=Complex=]'' crossover. Apparently it's written on his DNA, and therefore can't be removed. |
| 369 | * SelfDuplication: Jamie has the power to create perfect copies of himself, which he calls "dupes", and all items on his person (clothing, weaponry, etc.). This process requires impact when he absorbs kinetic energy. Most of the time, this is caused by him snapping his fingers, stomping his foot, being struck, or collisions. Each of the duplicates has exactly the same power as Jamie himself, and has independent thought, though Madrox "Prime" is usually telepathically and empathically linked to the dupes. |
| 370 | * SelfHarmInducedSuperpower: He can create duplicates of himself by making use of kinetic energy. The simplest way for him to create dupes is to just slap or punch himself. |
| 371 | * StarfishCharacter: Jamie Madrox has a mutant power that creates duplicates of himself upon physical impact. Each tends to manifest some aspect of his personality. |
| 372 | * TeleFrag: At times, Madrox has some level of control as to where a duplicate will manifest. He uses this against one NighInvulnerable mutant named Mellencamp at one point - he shoves his fist into Mellencamp's mouth, and his duplicate manifests right there. It was very messy, though his target had an UnexplainedRecovery later. |
| 373 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: Happens to him as a lot, as not many people stop to think through the implications of his mutant power. A DirtyCop's reaction to his mutant power is pretty typical: |
| 374 | --> '''Dirty Cop:''' Whoooa. A guy who can turn into a bunch of guys. I'm sooo scared. |
| 375 | * WrongGenreSavvy: In his X-Factor days, he tries treating everything like it's crime noir, forgetting he lives in a fantasy kitchen sink universe. |

| 379 | !!Guido Carosella / Strong Guy |
| 380 | [[quoteright:331:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/strong_guy.gif]] |
| 381 | !!!'''Nationality:''' American |
| 382 | !!!'''Species:''' Human mutant |
| 383 | !!!'''First Appearance:''' ''New Mutants'' #29 (July, 1985) |
| 384 | |
| 385 | The son of Italian immigrants, Guido Carosella had a tragic past that ultimately led to him being controlled by the Shadow King during the astral villain's takeover of Muir Island. When the Shadow King was defeated, Valerie Cooper recruited him into the new iteration of X-Force. |
| 386 | ---- |
| 387 | * AtrociousAlias: "Strong Guy". Apt, sure, but very stupid sounding. In fairness to Guido, he'd panicked and said the first thing that came into his head. Most of the time he just goes by his actual name. |
| 388 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:He's finally brought back to life after being dead for several years by the Five and now lives in Krakoa.]] |
| 389 | * BaldHeadOfToughness: Other than a small tuft of hair, Guido is completely bald and has superpowers of SuperStrength and SuperToughness. |
| 390 | * TheBigGuy: As his moniker suggests, Strong Guy is huge, powerful, and the muscle of the team. |
| 391 | * BlessedWithSuck: Strong Guy's powers make him incredibly strong and tough, getting better the more kinetic energy he absorbs. The downside is that, one, he physically bulks up the more energy he absorbs, two, bulking up causes him pain the larger he gets, and three, he can't turn his kinetic absorption ''off''. Even with his "baseline" level, he not only looks like a freak, but is in constant pain. Worse, the stress his bulked up body puts on his heart means he has to dispense energy as fast as he absorbs it, or it could ''kill him''. [[spoiler:This is how he dies; fighting the Hulk puts so much strain on his heart as he keeps absorbing the Hulk's super-strong blows that he ultimately has a fatal heart attack.]] |
| 392 | * BodyHorror: Most readers accept the... uniquely exaggerated... art-style of the 90s as being a dramatization of what the character actually look like. Strong Guy? He actually looks like that ''in-universe''. |
| 393 | * BoisterousBruiser: He's a towering, hulking mass of muscle, enjoys a good brawl, and is almost always in jovial spirits about it all. |
| 394 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: During the Shadow King's takeover of Muir Island. |
| 395 | * CameBackWrong: [[spoiler:As a result of being resurrected by Layla, he is much more ruthless and uncaring to the feelings of others. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Also, James Brown no longer does anything for him]].]] |
| 396 | * CoolShades: Guido is nearsighted and wears corrective glasses. |
| 397 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: A shy and skinny kid, Guido was orphaned when his parents were crushed in a freak accident involving fallen space debris. Although his loving aunt & uncle took him in, and he became wealthy from the settlement, this didn't stop him from being bullied terribly, until he was hit by a runaway bus and survived only by triggering his mutant power, which left him permanently deformed, in perpetual pain, and with a weakened heart from the strain. He ultimately lost most of his wealth and began bumming around as a bouncer, actor and stand-up comedian; whilst serving as a roadie to the mutant musician Lila Cheney, he was possessed by the Shadow King and made to fight other mutants for the monster's amusement. |
| 398 | * DeadpanSnarker: Like so many characters when written by Peter David. It takes on a nastier, barbed edge when he [[spoiler:is resurrected without a soul.]] |
| 399 | * DemonLordsAndArchDevils: [[spoiler:Kills Rahne's demigod son to become the surprise winner in a contest between Hell Lords, becoming the overall ruler of Hell.]] |
| 400 | * DyingDeclarationOfLove: Guido gives one to Monet after he's mortally injured by Ballistique. |
| 401 | * FaceHeelTurn: Losing his soul eventually makes him turn on the team and even work with Lords of Hell. |
| 402 | * FeedItWithFire: This is Strong Guy's power in a nutshell; he absorbs kinetic energy and converts it into strength and durability by rechanneling it through his body. In layman's terms, the more you hit him, the stronger and tougher he gets. |
| 403 | * FunetikAksent: As written by Chris Claremont, he has a sort-of Brooklyn accent. It died down after Peter David came along. |
| 404 | * FunPersonified: Strong Guy is actually a professional stand-up comedian and multi-talented actor, and he's not shy about showing off this side of himself. |
| 405 | * GeniusBruiser: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. He's never the brains of the team but he's no DumbMuscle, either. Marvel's power grid lists his intelligence as "Learned," one tier above normal. |
| 406 | * ManchurianAgent: [[spoiler:At one point, Guido was captured by Singularity and hypnotized into being their sleeper agent with the trigger being a code word spoken whenever he received a phone call from them. They used him to kill Professor Buchanan when he tried to turn on Singularity.]] |
| 407 | * MilkingTheGiantCow: According to Jamie, he gesticulates wildly when he lies. |
| 408 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: His murder of [[spoiler:Rahne's son Tier]] weighs heavily on him after his soul is restored and he considers himself a monster for it. |
| 409 | * PowerIncontinence: Strong Guy has the power to absorb kinetic energy and redistribute it as super strength, but if he doesn't let it out soon enough, it has affects on his physiology - which is the reason for his... unique appearance. |
| 410 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: His CoolShades have this effect, almost seeming to glow when he gets particularly pissed off. [[DependingOnTheArtist Some artists]] even forget they're shades entirely and just draw him with bright red eyes. |
| 411 | * SadClown: Is almost always joking and smiling, but he's in near-constant physical pain because of his powers. He's reached the point where permanently absorbing any more kinetic energy without releasing it will give him a heart attack, since his body simply can't handle any more changes. |
| 412 | * TheSoulless: [[spoiler:Is killed and resurrected by Layla Miller, whose mutant power restores physical life but does not return the dead person's soul to their body. Magik eventually managed to restore his soul, leaving Guido horrified by all the terrible things he did]]. |
| 413 | * StepfordSmiler: Especially in the original X-Factor run, Strong Guy has a giant smile on his face some 80% of the time. That smile is hiding a lot of physical and emotional pain he's constantly going through. |
| 414 | * SuperStrength: Even without a kinetic boost, Strong Guy is enormously strong, with official stats placing him in the "lift 50 tons" area. The more kinetic energy he's absorbed, the more powerful he is. |
| 415 | * SuperToughness: In part thanks to his kinetic absorption ability, Strong Guy can take an enormous amount of physical damage. In fact, kinetic-based attacks can't hurt him at all unless they're strong enough that he can't siphon off all of their energy, making him impossible to hurt with brute force by all save the strongest of beings, as he weakens or completely nullifies attacks. He also possesses superhuman stamina, and can officially exert himself for 24 hours of ceaseless activity before fatigue starts affecting him. |
| 416 | * TopHeavyGuy: To an almost scary level. It's a side-effect of his mutation; the stored kinetic energy results in his muscle-mass expanding to absurd levels and, well, the chest & arms have more muscles to stockpile that energy with than his legs do. |
| 417 | * WouldHurtAChild: During the period in which he was [[spoiler:soulless, he murders Rahne's son Tier to become the new king of hell.]] |

| 426 | |
| 427 | Started as a subordinate to Senator Kelly and Agent Henry Peter Gyrich, later rose to become a kind of US government superpowers and mutant czar and one of the top people of the O*N*E. Served as government liaison to X-Factor for a long time and also appeared a few times in the third incarnation of the title as a government contact. |
| 428 | ---- |
| 429 | * BadassNormal: The Shadow King once sent her to assassinate Mystique, but at the crunch she overcame his mind control enough to turn the gun on herself. |
| 430 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: She winds up effortlessly brainwashed by the Shadow King in ''The Muir Island Saga''. Unlike most of his victims, she's locked inside her own mind, aware of what's she's being made to do and unable to do a thing about it. |
| 431 | * DaChief: To Freedom Force. Backfires on her at one point, as Mystique had just figured out the secret of those "X-Terminator" people, and would've told Val... if she hadn't been yelling at her, so Mystique decided maybe she didn't need to know. Plus, yelling at Mystique is not an intelligent long-term survival strategy anyhow. |
| 432 | * DeadpanSnarker: Very snarky. Especially when written by Peter David. |
| 433 | * HiddenDepths: During the third volume of ''X-Factor'', she reveals to Siryn she had a miscarriage once. |
| 434 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Val is kind of completely awful with who she tends to trust. She happily works alongside Henry Gyrich even when he's frothing at the mouth about how much he hates superheroes, let John Walker be Captain America, thought Mystique was the right person for government wetwork, and allowed an openly racist man to be in charge of Sentinel Squad O*N*E. |
| 435 | * NoSell: She's completely immune to Siryn's CompellingVoice, which requires the afflicted to have some attraction to Terry. Val's strictly het. |
| 436 | * NotThatKindOfDoctor: She's a psychologist. Scary, given her track record of bad decisions. |
| 437 | * ObstructiveBureaucrat: |
| 438 | ** She means well enough, most of the time, and she's not as personally abrasive as Gyrich, but her methods and execution tend to leave a lot to be desired. |
| 439 | ** She also once part of the panel that caused Steve Rogers to quit being ComicBook/CaptainAmerica. |
| 440 | * ShipTease: Chris Claremont's second run on ''Uncanny X-Men'' had a lot of hints that she and Bishop were getting cosy. Not to mention that Bishop looks quite similar to her ex-husband Edmond Atkinson. Then Bishop angrily denied it, before a change of writers meant he and she were unceremoniously removed from the title. |
| 441 | * ShoutOut: In an X-Factor story written by Peter David, Val once mentioned her brother, an [[Series/TwinPeaks FBI agent who had been involved in a case concerning a dead girl wrapped in plastic]]. PAD also gave her an assistant called [[Series/{{Blackadder}} Baldrick]]. |
| 442 | * UnwantedAssistance: During the ''Decimation'' period, Val meant well, unlike most of O*N*E, but her idea of assisting the X-Men involved turning the X-Manion into an internment camp guarded by Sentinels with the X-Men's every move monitored, and apparently no real vetting for who they employed. Somehow, she never got why the X-Men hated all this. |

| 452 | Random first appeared as a bounty hunter with the power to adapt his body to counteract any mutant power and to fire projectiles from his gun-morphed forearms. |
| 453 | ---- |
| 454 | * AdaptiveAbility: Random's main mutant power is adaptive shapeshifting. He can harden his skin when stabbed or reconstitute himself from protoplasmic goop when caught in an explosion. The guns are just his preferred form for combat. |
| 455 | * BadPowersGoodPeople: Random is a heroic guy whose unsettling power is to shoot you with guns. |
| 456 | ** Until recently, he was a {{Mook}} in the Marauders team. |
| 457 | *** Not exactly. Just like back in the days, when he had to fight X-Factor, he has doubts on his allegiance. Also, he's shown to be the more charitable of his team... suggesting to his foes that they're lucky having to fight him, because he's ''the nice one'' (and given he was working with people like Frenzy... yeah). |

| 461 | * NinetiesAntiHero: Random ''is'' the nineties as far as comics are concerned. |
| 462 | ** It is worth noting that his musclebound antihero appearance was supposed to be the shapeshifters idea of what a badass looks like, not his actual appearance. Subsequent writers have forgotten this, and even when depowered he is depicted as uber-ninties. |
| 463 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: What justifies his overt Nineties Antihero-ness - he's actually a teenager. |

| 493 | |
| 494 | Kyle Gibney is a mutant who manifested a feral mutation during puberty; this mutation granted him enhanced physical abilities and an increased rate of regeneration. He also suffered from a bestial freakish appearance, which prompted his parents to throw him out of their house. Living on the streets, he was kidnapped by the conspiratorial Secret Empire and subjected to mind- and body-altering experiments. The experiments had the consequence of making him psychologically unstable, and in particular prone to violent and animalistic behavior. |

| 501 | * HealingFactor: Just like Wolverine and Sabretooth, he has a healing factor that allows him to regenerate from most injuries. |
| 502 | * HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: He has been part of Alpha Flight, X-Factor and now the Hellions. |

''X-Factor'' establishes her as a CreepyChild mixed with ManipulativeBastard who "knows stuff", and she's never looked back.

| 668 | * FightsLikeANormal: Layla's powers don't have any combat applications, so she relies on fighting skills and technology granted to her by Doctor Doom in battle. |
| 669 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Jamie and Shatterstar are the only ones on the team who tolerate her. Rictor doesn't trust her, and M outright despises her. |
| 670 | * GuileHero: Layla uses her knowledge of the future to crafty effect. In Issue #12, she causes a pile-up which causes some henchmen of Singularity Investigations to be stuck in traffic and frees Alix Buchanan from their grasp while they're distracted. |

| 693 | |
| 694 | Darwin is a mutant that evolves to survive anything, though it is involuntary. He left the X-Factor Investigations team after the battle with Hela in Las Vegas. He is trying to cope with his new acquired powers. |
| 695 | ---- |
| 696 | * AbusiveParents: His father abandoned him when he was four due to his seeming physical deformities, declaring that Darwin couldn't be his. This led to his mother resenting and ignoring him, being happy when a boarding school took him off her hands. Even after he saved her life from a fire, she slapped and disowned him when Darwin realized he was a mutant and tried to talk with her about it. |
| 697 | * AdaptiveAbility: Will adapt to anything thrown at him. Fire, space, death gods. The only things that he won't adapt to are GiantMecha and ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk. With them, he just teleports to safety. |
| 698 | * AscendedExtra: Added to X-Factor because he was essentially a [[SacrificialLamb sacrificial X-Man]] that was [[DemotedToExtra demoted to extra status]] after Ed Brubaker's run, and thus had very little continuity baggage. |
| 699 | * BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Throw him into a vacuum and he'll just adapt to not need to breathe. |
| 700 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Slow to anger, but when he does get mad? RUN. Very fast. |
| 701 | * BodyHorror: His powers allow him to evolve to survive, resulting in some horrifying transformations. Shot with a weapon that targets the nervous system, he becomes a sponge creature. Crushed beneath wreckage, he's reduced to an oozing mass that can speak. Decapitated by a headshot, a second head starts growing out of his torso, and so forth. Thankfully these are temporary changes, but made worse that he's got no control over what he'll become. |
| 702 | * DrivenToSuicide: Tried to kill himself by jumping off the roof of his school after his mother disowned him for being a mutant, but his abilities allowed him to easily land safely and he immediately regretted having made the attempt. |
| 703 | * GenreSavvy: When Monet tries to seduce him, Armando refuses to believe she is genuinely interested in him and he is right: she is actually being controlled by Cortex. |
| 704 | * HopelessSuitor: He crushes on M, but she has absolutely no interest in him. |
| 705 | * LogicalWeakness: His power is quite useful if a little gross, but it has one problem that keeps it from being a StoryBreakerPower: it's Adapt to ''Survive'', not Adapt to Deal With Situations in the Way Darwin Wants. He has no control over exactly what power he gets, only having the guarentee that it will result in him staying alive. So it ''could'' deal with the Hulk by making him completely invincible so Hulk can't hurt him, but what it ''does'' is involuntarily teleport him several states away to put him out of the Hulk's range... and also out of the fight he wanted to participate in. |
| 706 | * NeverGetsDrunk: Armando's powers evolve his metabolism to process alcohol faster than usual. |
| 707 | * NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Basically ''is'' his power. |
| 708 | * {{Omniglot}}: His powers mean he can pick up languages pretty quick. |
| 709 | * RaceLift: Lampshaped within ''X-Factor''. Darwin's powers had turned him white in a primarily white community "to better survive", but once he gains some confidence he changes himself back to his original darker skin tone. |
| 710 | * SanitySlippage: Throwing him at a goddess of death wasn't Jamie's smartest move, but it's an encounter with a possible future version of Rahne's son that starts sending him over the deep end. |
| 711 | * SkewedPriorities: At one point, when falling off a cliff, he fights his body trying to grow wings because it'd ruin his coat. |
| 712 | * TookALevelInJerkass: In his defense, he was trying to prevent the end of the world. |
| 713 | * WouldHurtAChild: Chases after Tier, Rahne's son, with every intent to kill him. [[spoiler:Ultimately, he can't bring himself to do it.]] |

| 885 | !!!'''Nationality''': German |
| 886 | !!!'''Species''': Human mutant |
| 887 | !!!'''First Appearance:''' ''X-Factor'' #89 (April, 1993) |
| 888 | |
| 889 | Born to a wealthy German family, Josef Huber's mutation was a terrible curse to him. Not only could he hear the thoughts of every single person on the planet with no way of turning it off, but his mutant power to mimic the abilities of every known mutant in the world was always active, meaning his body was forever bombarded with powers he could not control. Using his family's wealth, Huber isolated himself in Antarctica and relied on special medications to deal with his telepathy. When the Scarlet Witch de-powered the majority of the world's mutant population, Huber saw this as an opportunity to rid himself of his condition by wiping out the remaining mutants of the world. |
| 890 | ---- |
| 891 | * AffablyEvil: Evil though he may be, Huber is still a well-spoken and relatively level-headed man. He disdains violence even if he has to use it to achieve his goals and he even felt somewhat fond of X-Factor. |
| 892 | * AndIMustScream: Not only can Huber always hear the thoughts of |
| 893 | * AntiVillain: Given how horrific his mutation is, one can't help but feel a twinge of sympathy for Huber's plight. |
| 894 | * BlessedWithSuck: Telepathy and power mimicry would normally be cool powers. Unfortunately for Huber, he can't turn them off and has to take medication to deal with them. |
| 895 | * CharmPerson: He has a limited form of mind control. |
| 896 | * TheChessmaster: See TheManBehindTheMan below. He also set up Monet and Siryn's meeting with Nicole to have a mole within X-Factor to take out Layla Miller. |
| 897 | * AGodAmI: As he boasts, "God may move in mysterious ways but he has nothing on me. In fact, in a sense, I am [X-Factor's] god, and this is them simply meeting their maker." |
| 898 | * LoopholeAbuse: He can't kill mutants directly, but he can use his powers to manipulate them into fatal situations, ranging from encouraging a march that will lead the mutants to an area where he has planted bombs or teleporting a group of mutants to the Arctic where they will ''eventually'' freeze to death. |
| 899 | * TheManBehindTheMan: Huber had actually been manipulating events that X-Factor had been involved in for several months. He supplied X-Cell with weapons, was a silent partner in Singularity Investigations and arranged for Monet and Siryn, who were immune to his mind manipulation powers, to take the Purity Singer case so they would be away while he manipulated the rest of the team. |
| 900 | * PowerCopying: He has the ability to mimic the powers of every mutant on the planet. He has displayed the ability to use Cyclops' EyeBeams, Colossus' steel skin, Nightcrawler's teleportation and Forge's intuition for creating complex and highly advanced mechanical devices. |
| 901 | * PowerIncontinence: You think Cyclops and Rogue have it bad? They've got nothing on Huber. Not only is his telepathy always active and reading the thoughts of everyone on the planet, but his power mimicry is also always active and he can't control ''any'' of his powers. M-Day was actually a blessing for him because it meant less mutant powers to invade his body. |
| 902 | * {{Telepathy}}: A separate power from his PowerCopying. |

| 980 | During the ''Messiah Complex'' storyline, it was discovered that after the birth of the firstborn mutant since M-Day, two new futures of mutantkind had been created. In order to explore these new futures, the X-Men called in Jamie and had him create two dupes to be sent into each new future and return with the knowledge they had acquired. One of those dupes was sent to Bishop's timeline alongside a stowaway Layla Miller. The other dupe attempted to return to his own timeline but was trapped in a vortex where time did not exist. It was here that he was captured by Tryp and Anthony Falcone, who transformed him into the cyborg known as Cortex. |

| 982 | * AndIMustScream: Cortex was trapped in a time vortex where he experienced a hundred years per minute before he was retrieved and augmented by Tryp and Falcone. |
| 983 | * AndYourLittleDogToo: |
| 984 | -->''"Now to dispose of Lenore Wilkinson... and her offspring... and her little dog, too."'' |
| 985 | * AntagonistAbilities: Regeneration, portal creation and mind control. The only reason he didn't accomplish his task sooner is because he was having too much fun playing with the heroes. |
| 986 | * BeyondTheImpossible: As a Doomlock, he's capable of breaking the typical laws of Franchise/MarvelUniverse time-travel (that you can't change your own timeline without just causing a splinter timeline), though it's not without some risks. |
| 987 | * {{Cyborg}} |
| 988 | * DeadpanSnarker: Something he retained from Jamie. |
| 989 | -->'''Falcone:''' You were supposed to dispose of James Madrox. How could you fail to do that?\ |
| 990 | '''Cortex:''' By not killing him? |
| 991 | * DetachmentCombat: He was able to maintain control of his arm after Rictor sliced it off and used it to strangle Rictor. It eventually re-attaches itself. |
| 992 | * DisproportionateRetribution: Cortex incinerates some pigeons for roosting on a the corpse of a dead police officer. Not only is this action extremely unnecessary but Cortex was the one who killed the officer in the first place. |
| 993 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Apparently if he pushes events too far, he will cause RealityBleed, which is another reason he doesn't attack X-Factor directly. |
| 994 | * FantasticRacism: Cortex displays disgust for organic life. |
| 995 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Jamie's sense of humor, filtered through bitterness and insanity. |
| 996 | * HandBlast: His primary method of offense is discharging purple energy beams from his hands. |
| 997 | * HealingFactor: He's survived punches from Monet and having a knife in the back of his neck. |
| 998 | * HelpingHands: Shatterstar cuts off one of Cortex's hands. He still retains control of it and uses it to choke Shatterstar. |
| 999 | * ItAmusedMe: Cortex admits that he could have gone back in time and accomplished his mission by killing Lenore's mother while she was still a child but didn't see any challenge in it. |
| 1000 | * LetsGetDangerous: Once he starts fighting seriously, Cortex comes within a hairsbreadth of annihilating the heroes and killing Lenore. |
| 1001 | * LovecraftianSuperpower: Cortex can transform his eyes into tentacles to infect people with his mind control. |
| 1002 | * MindManipulation: Cortex can gain control of individuals either through physical contact made with tentacle branches protruding from his eyes or from psychic contact through one of his already possessed minions. |
| 1003 | * ReforgedIntoAMinion: Cortex is a dupe who was captured and cybernetically enhanced by Damian Tryp and Anthony Falcone, who programmed him to hunt down and kill the ancestors of the Summers Rebellion. |
| 1004 | * SomethingWeForgot: During ''Messiah Complex'', Jamie sent him and another dupe into two different timelines to scout them out. The story followed one, but the second was completely forgotten until he reappeared as Cortex, and is not unreasonably a little ''pissed'' about how everyone forgot him. |
| 1005 | * TerminatorImpersonator: Cortex is a cyborg with futuristic technology who is ordered by the bad guys to kill certain people from the present (such as Lenore Wilkinson, who is an ancestor of the Mutant Hecate) to prevent the rise of the Summers Rebellion in the future. |
| 1006 | * ThinkingUpPortals: Cortex's technology also grants him the ability to open portals to travel to different locations. |
| 1007 | * TronLines: He has purple ones on his skin. |
| 1008 | * VillainBall: Cortex is capable of time travel and is tasked with taking out X-Factor. Rather than going the most efficient route of killing them in the crib, he'd much rather leave them a fighting chance in the present because an easy victory is boring and he's sadistic. This bites him in the ass hard. |
| 1009 | * VillainOverride: On rearriving in Bishop's future, that time's Doctor Doom effortlessly seizes control of his cybernetics and demands he kill all the Mutants. Cortex still has the ability to speak for himself, but doesn't enjoy it. |

| 1319 | !!!'''Nationality:''' American |
| 1320 | !!!'''Species:''' Human mutant |
| 1321 | !!!'''First Appearance:''' ''Wolverine and the X-Men'' #19 (December, 2012) |
| 1322 | |
| 1323 | A young mutant covered in extra eyes who enrolled in Wolverine's school. Despite many of his fellow students thinking little of his powers, Trevor's ability has proven very useful and versatile in tracking or investigations. These talents led him to join the newest iteration of [[ComicBook/XFactor2020 X-Factor Investigations]] on the island of Krakoa. |
| 1324 | ---- |
| 1325 | * AuraVision: He can see people's auras to a certain extent, including empathic connections between people. He can also see magical waves. |
| 1326 | * CombatClairvoyance: There is suggestions in X-factor that his powers are evolving to making him a seer. In ''The Trial of Magneto'', it's ambiguous whether he can react so fast to attacks due to his regal powers or a form of combat precognition. |
| 1327 | * EyeBeams: Complains that he can't do this early on. During his time with ''X-Factor'', he develops the ability to do so, much to general surprise. |
| 1328 | * EyeScream: Happens unfortunately often for him. Being covered in eyes makes them easy targets, not to mention just landing wrong when thrown by the frequent explosions that happen around the X-Men can be extra painful for him. |
| 1329 | * TheEeyore: Is very aware [[BlessedWithSuck how unfortunate his power is]], although he later starts to embrace it. |
| 1330 | * EyesDoNotBelongThere: He has eyes all over his body. Including his head, his fingers, and ''even his legs''. |
| 1331 | * FutureBadass: A potential future version of Trevor, known as Eye-Man, resides in a space-station in orbit of Earth watching hundreds of monitors and serving as mission control for X-Men all over the planet. Said future version also has no issue jumping out of the space station to fight vampires while falling through orbit. |
| 1332 | * HeartIsanAwesomePower: Since his first appearance, Trevor's powers have been evolving constantly, and had proven to be very useful for X-Factor investigations. His powers also caught the interest of Xavier and the Quiet Council, much to the worry of Northstar. |
| 1333 | * ImprobableAimingSkills: His eyesight allows him to hit targets with perfect aim, alongside very quick reflexes to switch between targets quickly. |
| 1334 | * LongHairedPrettyBoy: He's not bad looking even with all the eyes and has long hair. |
| 1335 | * NiceGuy: He is the most friendly and most optimistic member of X-Factor, that even surprises some of the most cynical members like Daken. An example of this is how friendly and nice he was with Wrongslide. |
| 1336 | * PowerIncontinence: When he first started being able to see through objects and clothing he couldn't control it and started to spend a lot of time staring at people's feet to avoid seeing them nude. He was eventually able to get better control of it and choose when to switch between his different modes of sight. |
| 1337 | * SherlockScan: His abilities allow him to do this increasing efficiency over time, making him an excellent investigator. |
| 1338 | * SuperSenses: His eyes can see things at a microscopic level and allow him to see for several miles away. They also allow him to pick up on body language and how people are feeling quite easily. |
| 1339 | * XRayVision: Another ability his eyes give him is being able to see through walls. |
