A terrorist is targeting mutants and mutant sympathizers. I didn’t do a post on it, but during Mutant Massacre, this very same thing happened when the New Mutants went to check on Karma’s little brother and sister. This time, it’s Jean’s sister Sara Grey that is attacked, but she isn’t around when Scott and Jean drop in to check up on her and trigger the bomb. I’m not sure if these attacks are linked to the Mutant Massacre, or if they are being planned by Mr. Sinister, but this event is what finally motivates Scott to go check in on his wife and child who have been missing for… oh, about 12 issues now. (X-Factor #12 – Jan 1987)

So far, most of X-Factor has been pretty hokey, with the exception of Apocalypse gathering his horsemen. Here we meet the young mutant girl who will become Famine. This one is double creepy, because she’s just an anorexic teenage kid with a bad home life, and Apocalypse pops into her bedroom and whisks her off to become a serial killer like he’s some sort of fucked up Willy Wonka and she won some kind of fucked up golden ticket prize.

We are twelve issues into X-Factor. Twelve. That’s a year’s worth of comics. And Scott finally decides it might be time to go check on his wife and child that he walked out on in issue #1. After TWELVE issues. Because her phone line has been disconnected and she’s completely disappeared. It’s like… he’s just hoping that she’s dead and he’s waiting long enough just to be SURE she’s dead and not clinging to life buried beneath a toppled stack of old newspapers in their basement. Because nothing would make him happier than to have his wife and child just disappear into thin air so he can get back together with Jean. Seriously. I don’t know how anyone can like this guy at this point. (X-Factor #12 – Jan 1987)

Yeah it’s possible I’ve never seen an episode of General Hospital. (X-Factor #12 – Jan 1987)

Ugh it’s back to X-Factor for a few issues, if only to keep up with the developments in Scott and Jean’s relationship. Because it’s certainly not for this Looney Tunes Boom Boom, Iceman, and Beast story. (X-Factor #12 – Jan 1987)
