X-factor (comics)




''X-Factor'' is a Comic Book series published by Marvel Comics . Since its February 1986 inception, the book has been cancelled and relaunched several times, each relaunch featuring a different Superhero team semi-related to the team featured in the book's previous run. All of the teams featured in ''X-Factor'' are Spin-off s of the popular X-Men franchise.

The first ''X-Factor'', launched in an eponymous series in 1986, features a team consisting of the five original X-Men, but the series also features several young “wards” of the team. In 1991, the founding members were incorporated back into the X-Men. However, ''X-Factor'' continued, focusing on a second X-Factor team, a U.S. government-sponsored team incorporating many secondary characters from the X-Men mythos. It was cancelled in 1998.

In 2006, a new ''X-Factor'' series was launched, following the mutant Detective agency X-Factor Investigations .
