This weekend's Motor City Con provided one answer for those wondering what Peter Davidâs future holds. According to the writer, one of his upcoming Marvel projects will star Jamie Madrox, aka, the Multiple Man.
In regard to Davidâs comments that the character was a mutant whith whom heâd had some familiarity, Madrox was a member of X-Factor while David was writing the book, circa 1991-1993.
For those not familiar with the character, the name is the power. Madrox can create duplicates of himself when struck, turning him into a functioning one-man army. Having first appeared in Giant-Sized Fantastic Four #4, the character remained in the periphery of the X-Universe for years, and was a research assistant for Dr. Moria McTaggart, Professor Xâs colleague in Scotland.
The character moved to the X-Factor team when David took over the series, and Davidâs characterization of Madrox was fairly straightforward (well, as straightforward as a multiple man can be) during his tenure on X-Factor. However, after Davidâs departure from the series, things werenât so prettyâ¦or straightforward. The Legacy Virus, death of the âprimeâ Madrox and survival of a duplicate, the X-Corps, covert ops with Forge, and action on Genosha followedâ¦and saying that the character could do with some streamlining is an understatement.
According to David, speaking at a panel at noon on Saturday, the project will be a five-issue miniseries called Madrox, which will also include Strong Guy (Again, from Davidâs X-Factor tenure), and Rahne Sinclair (Wolfsbane from X-Force, New Mutants (old and new) as supporting characters.
David described the feel of the series as being along the lines of a crime noir detective story in the ghettos of Mutant Town.
If the five issue mini does well, David plans to lobby for an ongoing Madrox series. The artist on the series will be Pablo Raimondi.
