...of marginalization (race, religion, the ability to "pass") than the privileged, demonstrably WASP-y Original Five, X-Factor is able to commit to the illusion of Xavier's dream.

That insistence in the dream closes them off to any alternative–that, for example, Magneto is at...

...XF #9 continues in the aftermath of the fight as Rusty and Skids try again to make an escape.

The great flaw of X-Factor–their stubbornness–was written into the cast by design of the book's creation.

Unlike the X-Men, whose identities intersect moreso with other forms...

...the troubles ahead, then X-Factor (almost fittingly) doubles down on the warning by proving the costs of mutant division and the instincts of its characters to look outside their species for protection.

Responding to Cerebro's alert, Kitty and the Rasputins (an alright band name) teleport, finding Kurt alive in the aftermath of his attack on Nimrod.

...is itself a rumination on togetherness; her anger with Rachel can be read as less about abandoning the team and far more about abandoning the sense of found family that has formed among the residents of the Xavier Institute.

Rachel has broken a sacred trust, not unlike...

...targets for harassment; victims of hatred.

That theme has grown more central to the entire line writ large with Larry Bodine's tragic death as the most recent example, but is taken beyond to its logical conclusion as the Massacre begins.
