X-Factor (1986) #72 – The All-New Team Begins

Written by Peter David with art by Larry Stroman, this issue kicks off a bold new direction for the series with a completely restructured team under government sponsorship. Featuring Havok, Polaris, Multiple Man, Wolfsbane, and Quicksilver, X-Factor becomes a government-run mutant task force, setting the stage for a unique blend of action, politics, and character-driven storytelling. A key jumping-on point for one of the most iconic runs in X-Factor history.
