X-Factor Gets a Surprising New Member in X-Men: Regenesis

A lot of readers have been asking for his return but who would have thought he'd be in X-Factor?

The X-Men: Regenesis teasers continue to roll out. Yesterday Marvel released a teaser for New Mutants showing Nate Grey as their new member. That wasn't too big of a surprise given his recent appearance in the title.

Today, Marvel released a teaser for X-Factor.

No Caption Provided

You're seeing what I'm seeing. Havok not only is finally back but he's going to be in X-Factor? I'm not really sure how that's going to work. Yes, Havok was a member of the team but that was back when it was under the control of the government and Val Cooper. As the current head of the Starjammers, taking on mutant cases at X-Factor Investigations is going to be a bit of a different lifestyle for Havok. Can we assume that's Lorna flying in the background or is that M? We'll find out in January.

X-FACTOR #230

Written by PETER DAVID

Art by EMANUELA LUPACCHINO

Variant Cover by NICK BRADSHAW

JANUARY 2012

Who else will join HAVOK during X-Men: Regenesis?! Join the conversation on Twitter with #XMenRegenesis!

For those not reading it (and I don't blame you), Rogue's team in X-Men Legacy is about to bring back Rachel and Alex.

@SC: You didn't like when Havok was in X-Factor before (written by Peter)? X-Factor is one of the better, more consistent X-titles in my opinion.

No I liked lot (old PAD X-Factor with Havok), but current X-Factor feels so much more different for me, plus it has momentum and so to see Havok reintegrated back into the fold? Modern day X-Factor and cast and modern PAD? My random jibberish is expression of jubilation and joy and happiness lol *smile*  
 
Ohhhhhhhh yes I know, I actually fist bump the air whenever I listen to the CV podcast and here you giving X-Factor props G-Man *grin*  You do it each time you guys talk about X-Factor, and how its cut off from most of the other X-Books and how its a sort of a good thing for X-Factor.  
 
I am happy with X-Factor as it is currently and its current cast mind you... but am very interested to see how Havok's presence might affect things... *nods*

Huzzah!!

 

I don't like the art, but this is good news.  It'll be only made 1,000 times better with Polaris :)

 

Oh, and I'd put money on that being Terry flying int he background.

 

But really, haven't Marvel discovered a new way of promoting pre-sales hype than the overly tired 'shadowed-out' posters yet??

i think the art is just for the teaser. the art in the actual comic is going to stay the same. sorry if you already knew that.

I'm liking the idea of bringing Havok back from space. I don't know if he's going to mesh with the current team of X-Factor. I think that's Banshee flying there.

@Baddamdog: Ah, just about to post this in a separate post. That way to make it easier for everyone to find the conversation about all. Wish I'd seen this before resizing and piecing them together myself. ;)

I'm just hoping that X-Factor remains as a private eye company, I'm loving that take on the team and it makes them so different from other books I read.

I really hope Alex doesn't come in and take over. It's Jamie's team....well Jamie's and Terry's. I just don't really see Alex as the investigator type.

so long as Peter David writes it, X-Factor will be my favorite mutant book.  
 
with the addition of Havok, I'm actually looking forward to this more than the other X-men titles.

Noooo Havok is going to totally change the book even might take over. I like Madrox is so more. They took a second rate character and made him first rate by pushing him to the forefront of a book and it worked out great.

I wonder if Peter David is toying with the idea of a localized Schism event for X-Factor with Madrox and Havok on the opposing sides. it's crazy and doubtful, I know, but I bet David's version of Schism would be funny and sensible. regardless, I'd still prefer Madrox to lead.

Well as long as Madrox leads and all the members stay together I don't care how many other people they throw into X-Factor because PAD is amazing at making anything work.
Also they are going to side with Wolvie ? I know Madrox and Scott didn't see eye to eye in the Utopia one-shot but still.

Don't know about leader, folk. I don't see Madrox being ousted, either way I'm happy to see he'll be involved.

@jubilee042 I'll def give them a shot. But Adjectiveless has yet to catch my serious interest and I intensely dislike Khoi Pham's art. So no Carey and no Mann + art that I really dislike? Doubtful that I'll be picking it up.

oops, posted my reply in the wrong article but in summary: I hope ric/star and Madrox will still be in the book. Otherwise I'm pumped. Pretty excited for Alex to return though, bring on the 90s crew! Except Random, he can stay.. wherever he is.

Gen. Hope and adjectiveless are the only ones that don't interest me.  And I might also bail on Legacy after Carey leaves.  His done such great work that I don't know how anyone can match what he's done with that book. 
 
Also, are all the X-books going to have the same uniform logo template as the teasers?  Because that might give a clue as to Madrox's standing with X-Factor.  The logo the book has now is a nod to his multiplication power.

Havok would be better off as the leader of X-Factor. I love Madrox but he's too unpredictable, and he's not that much great of a leader.

I'd have a problem with Alex quite literally dropping out of the sky and leading that team again. At least put him on a probationary period first, he could be a Skrull.
