Title:

X-Factor (2006)

Synopsis:
Now in the body of the recently killed dupe of Madrox, Bloodbath stands over the corpse of Madrox Prime and mocks the rest of X-Factor. Aghast at seeing Madrox murdered, the entire team attacks, only to find Bloodbath more than a match for them all. When Longshot manages a lucky shot that takes down the possessed dupe, Bloodbath merely reanimates and heals his original body. The battle quickly resumes but is suddenly called off by Monet, who has begun to infer meaning from Bloodbath’s snide remarks regarding Guido.

The resulting conversation leads Layla to reveal the truth: she has the power to bring recently deceased people back from the dead and did so recently with Guido. She also admits, much to Guido’s horror, that in doing so she brings them back without a soul. Reeling from the news, the team is divided on whether Layla should bring back Madrox. However, Bloodbath decides for them, uninterested in allowing in allowing the resurrection of someone who can generate an army of the soulless, as they are immune to his powers.

During the reignited hostilities, X-Factor receives aid in the form of the Hangman, who has been convinced into assisting by his son Terry, who was told by his mother than the Hangman was a super hero. This support allows Shatterstar to decapitate Bloodbath, who immediately chooses Madrox’s corpse for possession. However, this was anticipated by Layla, who immediately performs an exorcism and thereafter banishes the exiled spirit to Hell.

The crisis passed, Layla finds that the choice of resurrection has been removed from her, as she seems to be unable to bring him back.

Meanwhile, elsewhere or else-when, Jamie Madrox finds himself in the hotel room of his murdered self and his murdered bride, Layla.
