As X-Factor unloads their hopes, fears and darkest secrets to Doc Samson, Jamie Madrox decides to gather up his stray dupes. The trouble is, two don't want to go quietly: the married priest and the agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.! And when Hydra comes calling, will Jamie become their secret weapon? With Mutant Town under siege thanks to the terrorist X-Cell, X-Factor races the clock to keep every former mutant from being imprisoned...what an awful time for the Isolationist to strike! Then, after the events of Messiah Complex, X-Factor is a shambles. COLLECTING: X-Factor (2006) 13-24, 28-32; X-Factor: The Quick and the Dead One-Shot; X-Factor Special: Layla Miller One-Shot

A couple years ago, I decided to track every mention of the superheroic resurrection trope in Marvel comics.

Then I backed the hell away from that choice because it was a BIG FRICKIN' JOB.

I still make mental notes on it, though, and X-FACTOR's got some good mutant resurrection one-liners. It also contains possibly the most tragic use of the trope when Siryn refuses to mourn her father because OF COURSE he'll be back (he won't).

X-FACTOR delights me in many ways, but I especially love it when Jamie Madrox sends one of his dupes out to take a cool and/or geeky job. (If you're not familiar with Madrox--and you should be, because he's awesome--he has the power to create copies of himself. He later reabsorbs them and learns everything they've experienced on their travels.)
