Back at the hospital, Warren tortures himself watching newsreel coverage of his disfigurement, cheekily sensationalized as a clipping of his wings.

The media coverage of Warren's fate is appropriately sickening, an unfair consequence of his much earlier decision to live out...

...forcing Masque's submission, but only after Leech's intervention ensures neither uses their power in the duel.

While Ororo and Callisto's duel also banned the use of mutant gifts, the match between Caliban and Masque is visually striking as between two mutants who appear...

Caliban steps up to defend Hank from Masque's abuse of his power, challenging him to a duel for leadership of the Morlocks.

For Caliban, it's a noticeable development and direction for a character who has largely been really-into-stalking-Kitty.

Their fight ends with Caliban...

Masque lashes out at Hank not only for his interruption of his attempted assault on Skids but for a failure to protect a mutant "like him" from human violence.

...however, X-Factor #15 centers this trauma through the experiences of a mutant living with a visible mutation that has excluded him from "passing" as human.

Tonight's issue opens in the immediate aftermath of Warren's operation, as the once high-flying...

...terrible fate that awaits Warren as the issue–and this first era of X-Factor–come to their tragic close.

These early days of X-Factor have encouraged the question: what is the cost of refusing to grow up?

Evidently, for Warren, it costs everything.

Across the country, absolutely-awful-person and yellow journalist supreme Trish Tilby arrives in Warren's hospital room for an exposé on X-Factor.

Hospital staff (and a petty TK blast by way of Jean) quickly remove her from the scene, but not before she drops a hint of the...

...positive growth can actually be read into Scott's character.

If the Master Mold, an agency-less machine can come to evolve beyond its creators' intents, why can't Scott come to embody and "evolution" of Xavier's dream that allows him to reclaim agency himself?
