6. X-Factor (Reunion Team)
You may have noticed that I didn’t really talk about any specific characters in my last entry.
That’s because I was waiting to get to it in this one! X-Factor launched as an excuse for reuniting the original X-Men team – Cyclops, Marvel Girl (because Phoenix was retconned into a different person to get her back alive), Iceman, Beast, and Angel – and giving them some new adventures.
Angel, who goes through the most interesting story arcs, is probably the stand-out of the early years of X-Factor. In this series, he dealt with Cameron Hodge; lost his wings; and got big, evil, metal wings from Apocalypse, who also made him a horseman. So, yeah, this comic introduced us to Apocalypse AND Archangel.
Practically half of what X-Men comics fans loved in the ’90s started in the ’80s in X-Factor. It’s well worth your time if you really want some classic X-Men fun.
