X-Factor (X-Men (TV series))

X-Factor appeared in the X-Men animated series episode "Cold Comfort." Its lineup consisted of Polaris, Forge, Havok, Quicksilver, Multiple Man, Strong Guy, and Wolfsbane. Iceman broke into their facility to find his girlfriend Lorna Dane and ran afoul of the X-Men. When it came to a battle against the X-Factor, Forge said it was to test them. In "Family Ties," Quicksilver is shown as a member of X-Factor.

Forge

Forge guest starred in a few episodes of the X-Men animated series. He is unique in that he has two separate roles in the show: in the present, he is the leader of the government-run X-Factor, and in the future, he leads the mutant team that resists the Sentinels in the Days of Future Past timeline. He was VOICED by Marc Strange.

Havok

Havok guest starred in the X-Men animated series episode "Cold Comfort" as a member of X-Factor and revealed to be romantically involved with Iceman's ex-girlfriend Lorna Dane (not called Polaris). In the episode X-Factor fights against the X-Men for a "friendly skirmish," as Forge puts it. It is never clearly stated in the animated series that Cyclops and Havok are indeed long-lost brothers though it is hinted at since they develop an instant rivalry. To their mutual surprise, the brothers find that neither's powers affect the other, a fact which is also seen in the comics. Also, flashbacks to Scott's past show him alongside Alex, and images of Bishop's future show Cyclops and Havok fighting side by side against Sentinels. Interestingly Havok's voice actor also remains uncredited and some fans have speculated that Norm Spencer, the voice actor for Cyclops also played Havok.

Multiple Man
