Peter David is a writer with a reputation for taking forgotten characters and making you love them. Amongst many others, David turned Jamie Madrox, the Multiple Man, an also-ran gimmick from deep in the pages of the X-Men with the power to create perfectly real duplicates of himself, into a fascinating, complex and compelling character.
Madrox had fathered a child with Theresa Cassidy, aka Siryn, and the couple had chosen to name the boy Sean, after her late and legendary father, the X-Man Banshee. At the birth, in 2009’s X-Factor Vol.3 #39, standing proudly by her bedside, their delighted teammates about them, Madrox holds his son for the first time… and begins to uncontrollably absorb him.
You see, it hadn’t been Jamie himself who’d slept with Theresa that night. They’d all been drunk, and it had been a duplicate of Madrox who’d conceived the child. But dupes can’t have kids, and baby Sean, no matter how real a person he was, no matter how much his mother and father had loved him… this little human sunrise was a dupe too. Contact with his father simply caused him to be reabsorbed back into Madrox-Prime.
It remains one of the most horrifying, heartbreaking, brilliant, WTF moments in comics history.
