Why this must be read:

Whether you're talking mutants, immortals or secret agents, most shows and fandoms thrive on angst. But every now and then it's great to delve into a character who actually has fun with their superpowers instead of just moping about them. Multiple Man was a pretty boring guy when he first appeared with the X-Men, but in his X-Factor heyday he was written as an odd-ball prankster with no impulse control. So what would you do if you could create infinite copies of yourself and feel everything they did?

Just a Day in the Life

And the sequel, Repercussions

I've only recently begun to read Marvel titles (mostly Spider-man), so this character is entirely new to me. I loved the stories, though, so I'll definitely try to get some issues featuring him. Thanks for the recs!

[gardendoor.livejournal.com]

So glad you liked! I'd suggest back issues of X-Force right before issue #100, the issues in the #80's and #90's are splendid Multiple Man/Strong Guy horsing around.

Thanks very much for the tip on the issues to check out! :)

Whoops! My bad; it's X-Factor, not X-Force. My brain needs an upgrade...

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

Oh, no problem! Thanks. :)

Another good Multiple Man read is the Madrox mini-series (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0785115005/qid=1124372798/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-9961219-0627227?v=glance&s=books&n=507846) by Peter David. Fun stuff.

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for that! I'll look out for that one for sure.

THANK YOU!! I've been looking for good fic recs in this fandom for ages :D

Welcome! I'm planning a couple more Jamie recs this month, so enjoy!

He's in the new X-Factor (3rd series now) that's coming out in October, also written by Peter David (yay!). It stars most of X-Corp Paris: Jame, Terry, Rictor, and Monet, as well as Rhane and Guido. The art looks like shit, but hey, you can't have everything.

(I'm just happy because Rictor is back in something. Now if only they'll add Shatterstar... *sighs* I miss X-Force.)
