The third volume, but second ongoing series starring X-Factor! Madrox the Multiple Man starts a detective agency called X-Factor Investigations. The first, best line of defense for the superhero community! Numbering: After issue 50 of this volume, Marvel started counting the X-Factor issues from X-Factor Volume 1 and jumped the numbering to issue 200, collecting the two ongoing volumes into one. The series lasted until issue 262, after which writer Peter David said goodbye to many of the team-members and started an all new title with (mostly) different characters and a different approach. This title started a few months later and was named All-New X-Factor.

The series had three specials; X-Factor: The Quick and the Dead, X-Factor: Layla Miller and Nation X: X-Factor.
