" Maybe its cause of the comic or Madrox's character, but just seems he doesn't seem to emotionally attached to anyone. First he goes on saying he loved or at least cared about Siryn, even though one of his dupes or himself slept with M. And I don't care if she's in labor, he even agreed to marry Siryn. He ends up killing his own baby and he's just practically emotionless over it.   We all saw how Siryn was coping with it. But it just seemed it didn't phase Madrox too much then he moved on to Layla. Is there any love or emotion in these comics? oO Heh its probably just me "

 Ohh sorry then. I didn't get that issue of the comic. I thought he left cause he was having other problems with the group. I don't get the comics exactly in order where I live and the bookstores don't have the X-Factor graphic novels.    

"it didn't phase Madrox too much"

For the record, Madrox didn't murder his newborn son.  It's a genetic problem that his offspring are classed as Dupes so he couldn't stop the dupe from re-absorbing into his body.  It wasn't something that Madrox could control.  He was shocked it happened, but powerless to stop it.   
 
While Madrox isn't the light-hearted character I adored from the 90's anymore, he doesn't really deserve this kind of character assassination.

I heard mutterings somewhere on here that he was forced to retcon the mutant birth in order to pave way for Hope being the messiah.

 While it's a nice twist it's also kind of weird considering the baby would only have half of his genes. Thinking about it it makes as much sense as if he were to absorb one of his parents. "

I think losing the kid was good idea anyways. It was a terrific moment, it contributed a lot to Madrox' character, and subsequently getting Rahne knocked up (by Kyle and Yost?) would have seemed repetitive if there was already a baby. "

@MichonneHack27: 

I think you misunderstand Madrox. He cares about everything so much that it's not easy for him to make decisions. He described his way of thinking as having so many voices screaming at him at the same time. He can't just listen to just one voice. That's why he likes Layla because she seems to know stuff. He liked Theresa from his previous days before  X-Factor Investigations. Seriously, who could forget about Banshee/Siryn     
 

@xerox-kitty:

Agree. He is not slayer. He has an uncommon condition of reabsorbing his dupes, which was unavoidable. His timing to learn about that was really bad.

Sean Madrox was merely a dupe. "

" @The Dark Huntress: PAD talked about it in an old X-Position on CBR last year.  He had to think of ways around the birth of a new mutant, because it would lessen the impact of Hope's birth... I guess he couldn't just have a normal human baby, because he didn't want it to tie the team down. "
