Title:

X-Factor (1986) Annual

Synopsis:
Charon

Years ago, young Charlie Ronalds’ parents are killed before his eyes by a mutant (Random). Afterward, Charlie becomes withdrawn and obsessed. When some time later in the orphanage, young Guido Carosella becomes horribly misshapen when his mutant powers manifest after a car accident, Charlie angrily attacks him. Guido inadvertently swats him aside, leaving Charlie with a limp.

Charlie grows up to become a creepy young man, dabbling in black magic. When he recognizes Guido on TV as an X-Factor member, he enters into a pact with the demon Cloot to get revenge on the mutants. Cloot turns him into Charon and gives him help (three souls who died cursing X-Factor, namely Vic Chalker, Number One Fan, and Carnivore) but Charon has to break the mutant before he kills them, so their souls will belong to Cloot.

Charon and his people attack X-Factor, who have never heard of their greatest enemies before. They easily take out the Chalkers but Guido is more interested in gaining Charon’s forgiveness than fighting him. When Charon shows he is only interested in killing him, Cloot takes back his soul and throws it into the same pit as his parents. X-Factor still has no idea what actually was going on.
========================
What Have You Got to Hide?

Polaris is angry because her computer isn’t working. This is because the government is going through their files. While Guido sees no problem with that, the others aren’t so happy. Secretly, the possessed Val Cooper is copying the files, hoping to be able to use the material in there.
========================
Crawlin’ from the Wreckage

Strong Guy goes through a subway tunnel in search of survivors after a horrible accident but only finds a small dog. Outside, the people react with anger, especially towards his tendency to work through the pain with jokes, making Guido doubt himself.
