@xreadspodcast I’m preferential to What If? Magik, but I’ve gotta shout out Uncanny X-Men Annual #4 for giving us the framed-picture-of-Logan moment and the Amanda-is-Kurt’s-sister reveal, both of which are just *insane*.

...Warren's impressive physique works not only to highlight the tragedy of Warren's disfigurement, but further, its grotesque nature.

No longer tied to his hospital bed–he is, pointedly, no longer a flight risk–Warren makes a hasty escape from the recovery ward by...

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...

...their own ability to live in the "real world" above the Alley obscures their understanding of the mutant experience.

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.

This focus on the physical aspects of mutation, and ultimately, a disfigurement in a way it wasn't for Ororo...

...founding X-Man awakens from surgery with a visceral awareness of his missing wings.

Much like LifeDeath I (UXM #186), X-Factor #15 explores the trauma of having one's mutation, and more importantly, a defining aspect of self-identity, stolen from them.

Unlike that issue...

...the issue as well as my commentary on it. Keeping yourself safe is more important than engaging with a tweet, so mute me for the night and come back when you feel safe doing so.

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.
