X-Factor Team Designs by David Baldeón

Spaniard artist David Baldeón talks to Marvel about X-Factor's team logo and uniform designs: "There were many different ideas and concepts I wanted to include in the designs, one of them doing an homage of shorts to the original Jackson Guice designs."

"I love those big bold X decals all aver the suits! While trying to integrate the X motif into the new suits, this little idea went into my head: these guys are not so much Super Heroes as investigators looking for missing mutants. Missing mutants, or missing X’s, perhaps?"

Prestige, Daken, and Northstar

"That took the shape, after some sketching, of this “empty set,” “non-X” logo that I really like, that worked like a charm on the suits, and that went great as a contrast to the classic X and its Dawn of X reinterpretation."

Aurora, Polaris, and Prodigy

"So I included it in the designs, and suggested to Jordan [D. White], Annalise [Bissa], and Leah [Williams] that it could be used, in-universe, as the “badge” of this investigative team. Lucky for me, they liked the idea… Because I already had designed the whole team around that logo!"

The X-Men have conquered death, but the ability to bring back any fallen mutant comes with a host of questions and complications. And that’s where X-Factor comes in. From writer Leah Williams and artist David Baldeón, X-FACTOR #1 dives into the world of murder and missing persons in order to keep the rules of resurrection on track.
