...not by their own actions–the mutants reject the ambassadors open arms until a Senator with state secrets to trade personally directs them to go in pursuit of mad-Soviet-scientist Dr. Wolfgang Helmut Heinrich.

If what I'm describing sounds like an awfully mad-cap Silver-Age...

...but those of a worldwide audience as well.

Intrigued by their trade-secret methods for mutant hunting, representatives from the USSR have extended an invitation to X-Factor to present at something of Soviet We-Hate-Mutants-Convention.

Disgusted by the invitation–and yet...

...mutants as mutant hunters is that it's given the Original Five X-Men a taste of being celebrated heroes... something few of them would likely admit is as intoxicating as it probably feels.

But their actions haven't just caught the attention of the United States government...

It's tone deaf, but maybe that's the point.

For whatever their intended goals were, X-Factor will continue to struggle to meet it until they take their heads out from up in the clouds... or from under the sand.

And to start, Scott and Jean sure have some serious talking to do.

Not only is Scott in love, he's married.

...are essentially terminally ill, and ready to spend their last days fighting for mutantkind.

Sensing that Jean is in need of both a warm-up and cool-down, the boys (absent Scott) challenge her to a game of tag in the not-Danger-Room, where she proceeds to absolutely kick...

...presence on the airwaves and actions in the news.

There's a lot to say about Glow Worm and Bulk–but the thing I found most interesting about them is that even among the Morlocks–where mutants who can't pass often find sanctuary–they're rejects.

It doesn't help that both...

...reports on the escalating tensions–and they aren't just escalating outside of XF HQ.

Across the Hudson in the irradiated state of New Jersey (the SHADE of this Weezie), two mutants without the privilege of passing face DIY-Mutant Hunters spurred into action by X-Factor's...
