X-Factor (1986) #90 (May 10, 1993), written by Joe Quesada and Scott Lobdell, pencils by Joe Quesada and Buzz, inks by Al Milgrom, cover by Joe Quesada, is a Copper Age issue, priced at $1.25. Titled “A Brother’s Keeper,” it features government-sponsored X-Factor—Havok, Polaris, Multiple Man, Strong Guy, Wolfsbane, Quicksilver—in Genosha, battling Mutate 416, the president’s bodyguard. Havok, Strong Guy, and Multiple Man lead the fight, while the team races to save disease-ridden Mutate 24601 from the Genoshan Magistrates. Joe Quesada and Scott Lobdell’s script blends action and mutant politics, with Quesada’s dynamic pencils (pre-Daredevil fame) and Buzz’s art shining. Quesada’s cover, showcasing the Genoshan clash, is a highlight. Direct Edition, with possible Sealed Polybag (trading card).
