Title:
X Factor
Synopsis:
X-Factor holds a press conference, announcing that they are taking their ship out to sea to prevent any more damage and to win back the trust of New Yorkers. Suddenly, the pier the reporters are standing on collapses, and X-Factor springs into action to rescue them. The ship pitches in the rescue effort, as well, reassembling the pier using numerous robotic arms. One reporter blames the ship for destroying the pier, but the ship reminds him that the pier had been condemned and was in poor condition anyway.
Meanwhile, Infectia enacts her plot to capture the ship. The first man she mutates disintegrated after using his power up too quickly, so she hits the bars to pick up some fresh recruits. She seduces them, luring them back to her apartment and using her mutant powers to transform them into monsters.
On the ship, Jean and Scott continue to argue about Madelyne and the whereabouts of Scott’s son. Scott feels guilty about being with Jean while Madelyne was still alive. Finally, Jean reconciles to help him find his son.
As X-Factor’s ship disembarks, Hank stays behind, taking Trish up to a rooftop to watch. Warren arrives and interrogates her concerning the whereabouts of Candy Southern.
Infectia, watching the ship from another rooftop, sends her team of mutated humans (known as “The Anti-Bodies”) to take over X-Factor’s ship. Throughout the ensuing battle, Jean struggles with her feelings about Madelyne, Scott and their son. She becomes angry thinking about Madelyne and all the trouble she’s caused, unleashing her full power on the Anti-Bodies. The monsters are destroyed, but they turn back into humans before turning into piles of dust. Upon realizing that they were just ordinary people, Jean is horrified by her actions.
With her creations destroyed, Infectia resolves to take X-Factor’s ship herself. “And I know just how I’ll do it,” she says, looking at Iceman through her telescope.
