Fictional character biography

Jamie Madrox was born to a family living near the Los Alamos research facility in New Mexico; the background radiation may have stimulated his mutation. Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL (previously known at various times as Site Y, Los Alamos Laboratory, and Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory) is a New Mexico ( is a state located in the southwestern region of the United States of America. Radiation, as in Physics, is Energy in the form of waves or moving Subatomic particles emitted by an atom or other body as it changes from a higher energy When Jamie was born, the doctor's slap caused him to multiply into two identical babies, which was rather shocking to both his parents and the doctor. Professor Charles Xavier, a friend of the Madrox family, suggested that they move to Kansas to raise the boy in privacy. Charles Francis Xavier, also known as Professor X, is a Fictional character, a Marvel Comics Superhero known as the leader and founder of Dr. Daniel Madrox, Jamie's father, created a suit for him to wear which was designed to absorb kinetic energy, the presumed source of the duplication. Later, Damian Tryp, of Singularity Investigations, made his own offer to look after Jamie, claiming that Jamie was not in fact a mutant, but a "changeling", a predecessor to mutants who develops its powers at birth. Damian Tryp ( Dai) is a Fictional character in the Marvel Comics Universe A Changeling is a being in West European Folklore and Folk religion, typically described as the offspring of a Fairy, Troll Jamie's parents, however, refused to give Jamie to Tryp. When Jamie was 15, his parents were killed when a tornado struck their farm (alleged to have been caused by Tryp) and for the next few years he worked as a farmer and ran the farm by himself until one day when his suit malfunctioned. Madrox went to New York City for help, where he met Mister Fantastic of the Fantastic Four. Mr Fantastic ( Reed Richards) is a Fictional character, a Marvel Comics Superhero and a member of the Fantastic Four. The Fantastic Four is a fictional Superhero team appearing in Comic books published by Marvel Comics. Mister Fantastic agreed to help him with the suit and informed Professor Xavier of the situation. [1]

Jamie then resided on Muir Island with Moira McTaggert, working as a laboratory assistant to help her with her research. Muir Island is a small fictional island off of the northern coast of Scotland in the Marvel Comics universe. Dr Moira Kinross MacTaggert (sometimes spelled MacTaggart McTaggart or McTaggert is a Fictional character appearing in X-Men stories in the Marvel Comics He aided Moira, Havok, and Polaris in searching for the escaped evil mutant, Proteus.

X-Factor

Jamie was among the residents of Muir Island who came under the mental control of the Shadow King. Muir Island is a small fictional island off of the northern coast of Scotland in the Marvel Comics universe. The Shadow King is a Fictional character that appears in Comic books published by Marvel Comics. [4] Following the destruction of Muir Island and the defeat of the Shadow King, he became a government operative as a member of the second X-Factor team, which was assembled by Val Cooper. X-Factor is an American Comic book series published by Marvel Comics. Valerie "Val" Cooper is a Fictional character in the Marvel Comics Universe who currently works for the Office of National Emergency Here, he began to develop a reputation as the team's resident prankster, and formed a close friendship with fellow humor-inclined teammate, Strong Guy. Strong Guy is a Fictional character in the Marvel Comics universe.

During the early days of this team, a duplicate was shot and killed, and Madrox learned for the first time that he was unable to reabsorb a deceased duplicate. This made him consider for the first time how independent his duplicates actually were. [5] This became clearer to him when he faced a duplicate who sought his own independence and planned to replace the original. [6] The renegade Madrox took over the original's role in X-Factor and absorbed the original. The original reabsorbed the renegade into himself, and with X-Factor battled the renegade's allies Mister Sinister and the Nasty Boys. Mister Sinister is a Fictional character that appears in Comic books published by Marvel Comics. The Nasty Boys, sometimes referred to incorrectly as the Nasty Boyz, are a group of Supervillain mutants who have appeared in various Comic book [7]

With X-Factor, he aided the American-supported Trans-Sabal government in a war against the rebels, and fought the Hulk and the Pantheon. This article is about the comic book character and series For all other media appearances see Hulk in other media. The Pantheon is a fictional organization appearing in the Comic books published by Marvel Comics. [8] With X-Factor, he also fought the Mutant Liberation Front.

[11] With X-Factor, he next fought X-Force. X-Force is a Fictional Marvel Comics Superhero team one of several Spin-offs of the popular X-Men franchise [12] Jamie was later exposed to the Legacy Virus while performing CPR on an infected Genoshan mutate. In the fictional Marvel Universe, the Legacy Virus was a devastating plague that ripped through the mutant population killing hundreds and mutating so Genosha is a Fictional country that has appeared in numerous Comic book series published by Marvel Comics. [13] Jamie killed the Acolyte named Mellencamp in self defense by duplicating while his hand was in Mellencamp's mouth. The Acolytes is a team of Comic book mutant Supervillains in the Marvel Comics universe. Seamus Mellencamp is a member of the Supervillain group the Acolytes, who serve Magneto. [14]

During his time with X-Factor, Jamie (along with Wolfsbane) was brainwashed and taken by the cosmic entity known as Goddess. The Goddess was the name assumed by the "feminine self-aware" supposedly "good" aspect of Adam Warlock, subconsciously exiled from his psyche whilst he was He and his duplicates were used as support staff by the entity in her attempts to gain cosmic power. One of Jamie's few other cosmic adventures was during the Infinity War, where he mostly helped fellow super-heroes fight wave after wave of evil, alien-duplicates, including many duplicates of Jamie himself. Infinity War was a Comic book Limited series and crossover that ran through numerous comics published by Marvel Comics in 1992

A confrontation in Genosha left Madrox infected with the Legacy Virus. An attempted cure by Haven left him dead. Haven (Radha Dastoor is a fictional mutant character in the Marvel Comics Universe Or so it seemed. Unknown to all, it was a duplicate who had been infected and died; the real Madrox lived, amnesiac.

Jamie soon discovered the fate of Strong Guy, who had become very ill after Jamie's alleged death. A well-intentioned rescue attempt went terribly wrong as Strong Guy, though delighted to see Jamie again, became even sicker. Jamie's mistake was fixed by the inventive genius of Forge. Forge is a Fictional character in the, a Superhero associated with The X-Men.

Jamie was the motivation for the Government-sponsored version of X-Factor to break ties with the government and go underground. X-Factor had been tricked into thinking Jamie and his duplicates were a squad of super-powered terrorists. When it was revealed they were hunting an old friend, things went sour quickly. Although he did not rejoin X-Factor, he did regain his memory and returned to the super-heroic life.

For a second time, he served as the majority staff for an organization, this time willingly for Banshee's X-Corps. Banshee ( Sean Cassidy) was a Marvel Comics Superhero, a member of the X-Men. The X-Corps is a fictional team created by Marvel Comics. Whether they were good or bad was left up to debate even within the X-Men, but the team acted as a mutant The group hired ex-criminals to police other mutants who got out of line. Unfortunately, things turned sour when a number of the members began rebelling, Mystique went on a murderous rampage and number of Madrox's dupes fell under the control of the female Mastermind. The resulting battle severely damaged the city of Paris, France, entirely destroying the Eiffel Tower. Ultimately, he was able to regain control of them, but the memory left him with deep guilt. He then joined the Paris branch of X-Corp and took part in the ill-fated battle against Weapon XI in the Chunnel which resulted in the death of teammate Darkstar.

Mutant Town

The MadroX limited series shows Madrox working as a private detective in the "Mutant Town" area of New York, along with former X-Factor teammates Wolfsbane and Strong Guy. A private investigator or private detective (often shortened to PI or private eye) is a person who can be hired by individuals or groups to undertake District X, also known as Mutant Town or the Middle East Side, is a fictional location in Marvel Comics. New York ( is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern regions of the United States and is the nation's third most populous It also reveals that he has sent "dupes" out to lead alternate lives, including one who spent years as a Shaolin monk, another who spent years on an Olympic Gymnastics team; this has allowed him to gain years of expertise in certain martial arts, gymnastics, and numerous foreign languages. The Shaolin Monastery or Shaolin Temple ( is a Chan Buddhist temple at Song Shan in Zhengzhou City Henan Province The Olympic Games is an international Multi-sport event established for both summer and winter games Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for Combat. However, allowing dupes to exist for such extended periods before returning to the whole seems to have generated a form of multiple personality disorder unique to Madrox: his duplicates' minds are now reflections of individual aspects of his personality, rather than mental copies of his whole personality. Madrox has no control over what personality trait will manifest in his dupes, or whether the traits will be positive or negative. This has severely curtailed Madrox's ability to use his power effectively, as his dupes are now rarely willing to follow his direct commands; they will often be indifferent or opposed to his current actions, and some even display criminal or homicidal tendencies that are not only inappropriate to the situation at hand, but also put both others, including Madrox himself, at risk of harm. Currently, Madrox will only create dupes at great need, or in a rare situation where a course of action can be agreed upon by all the conflicting manifestations of his psyche. Of course, because his power is triggered by physical impact, he may still produce dupes involuntarily if struck or jostled.

Jamie also fought a mysterious assassin named "Clay", who has solid yellow eyes, and was ultimately revealed to have Jamie's multiplying abilities also. While it seemed Clay and his duplicate were killed in the end, Clay recently re-appeared in a recent issue of X-Factor. Before "dying", Clay also said "You really don't know WHAT you are, do you?"

X-Factor Investigations

Main article: X-Factor Investigations

After the events in the House of M, Madrox has upgraded his detective agency to a new building, with expanded X-Factor membership. X-Factor Investigations is a fictional detective agency created by writer Peter David for the Marvel Comics Comic book series ''X-Factor'' (volume House of M is an eight-issue Comic book Limited series and crossover storyline published by Marvel Comics in 2005. X-Factor is an American Comic book series published by Marvel Comics. He bought the building using the money he won through a Who Wants to Be a Millionaire-type show, using a room full of dupes as one of his lifelines. Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? is a Television Game show which offers very large Cash prizes for correctly answering successive multiple-choice

His dupes still manifest specific personality traits. A dupe sent to talk a de-powered Rictor out of jumping off a building instead pushes him off. The dupe calls himself "The X-Factor" and threatens Madrox that he will come out whenever dupes are made, and Madrox won't be able to tell.

Civil War

A duplicate of Jamie created a few years ago went his own way and became an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. As an enforcer of the Superhuman Registration Act, he registered M and Rictor. SHIELD is a fictional, Comic-book Espionage and Law-enforcement agency in the Marvel Comics universe. In Marvel Comics ' fictional Marvel Universe, the Registration Acts —the Mutant Registration Act (or MRA) and Superhuman Registration Act M ( Monet Yvette Clarisse Maria Therese St Croix) is a fictional Comic book superheroine, a mutant who appears in the X-Men Rapamycin-insensitive companion of mTOR, also known as RICTOR, is a human Gene. However, Jamie prime and the rest of X-Factor stand adamantly opposed to the legislation, going so far as to make a public statement regarding their position. Jamie stands in direct opposition to the neutral stance taken by Cyclops, and remains furious with the X-Men for withholding the truth about M-Day. Cyclops ( Scott Summers) is a Fictional character, a Superhero that is the field leader of the X-Men in the. The X-Men is a team of fictional Superhero characters in Comic books published by Marvel Comics.

In a literal confrontation with Cyclops and the X-Men, Jamie and his team declare that 'Mutant Town' will be a sanctuary for superheroes being pursued by the government.

Post-Civil War

Agent Madrox recently met "his" end when he was surprised and re-absorbed by the original Madrox during an investigation of a Hydra cell (which, incidentally, had just been killed — smothered to death in an immense swarm of Madrox duplicates). Jamie is undergoing therapy.

Jamie Madrox continues the task of hunting down his stray duplicates and reabsorbing them, letting one duplicate who settled down to raise a family go[15]. He and his team then battle the X-Cell and defeat Quicksilver. X-Cell is a terrorist organization in the Marvel Comics universe. Quicksilver ( Pietro Django Maximoff) is a Fictional character that appears in the Comic books published by Marvel Comics. It is suggested that possibly either Jamie or a dupe impregnated his teammate Monet during the one night stand as she vomited after smelling Rahne's 'doggy' breath[16], but eventually it reveals a red herring, as Siryn is actually the one carrying Jamie's offspring [17]

Messiah Complex

In Messiah Complex, Cyclops sends Jamie and Layla to go see Forge, who has built a machine that allows him to monitor alternate timelines. M ( Monet Yvette Clarisse Maria Therese St Croix) is a fictional Comic book superheroine, a mutant who appears in the X-Men In Literature, a red herring is a narrative element intended to distract the reader from a more important event in the plot usually a Twist ending. Siryn ( Theresa Rourke Cassidy) is a Marvel Comics superheroine, associated with the X-Men. Madrox sends two dupes to find information on two timelines that showed "spikes", after the birth of the Mutant baby. Before anyone can react, Layla jumps into the portal along with one of the dupes. However, minutes after the dupes and Layla are sent, Madrox collapses into a coma.

Layla and one Madrox duplicate arrive eighty years in the future to discover that the mutant race has been wiped out following a genocidal conflict with baseline humans, and that no reference remains to their existence in the public consciousness. Layla and the duplicate are eventually captured and placed in a mutant internment camp where both their heads are shaved and faces are branded with the same "M" as Bishop. It turns out that Layla and Jamie are in the same timeline that Bishop had originated from and find him at the same camp. The young Lucas Bishop tells them that the mutant baby is responsible for killing over one million baseline humans, fulfilling Stryker's prophecy of a "mutant antichrist. " This causes the United States government to round up the remaining mutants and put them into camps. Young Bishop says that if he has a chance he would go back in time and kill the child which prompted Layla to kill the Madrox duplicate. In the present, Madrox awakens with his face branded with the same "M" as his duplicate and warns the X-Men of Bishop's treachery. He also demands to go back for Layla but Emma psionically sedates him. The second dupe is presumably still out there, somewhere unknown.

Divided We Stand

He later returns to Madrox Investigation, depressed and disillusioned about his former idea to go back and saving Layla. Unable to remove his brand, he starts covering it with makeup. Siryn is pregnant with his child, but, as of yet, she has not told him of this. Siryn ( Theresa Rourke Cassidy) is a Marvel Comics superheroine, associated with the X-Men. [18]

Powers and abilities

Jamie Madrox is a mutant whose power is the ability to create duplicates of himself (sometimes at will) through an unknown process whenever he absorbs kinetic energy such as when he is struck, when he snaps his fingers, or stamps his foot. A mutant within the Marvel Comic books particularly those of the X-Men mythos is an individual who possesses a genetic trait called an Each of the duplicates (dupes) is completely capable of independent thought and can create duplicates of himself. He is usually telepathically and empathically linked to his duplicates. Madrox's duplications also creates copies of the clothing he is wearing and a HYDRA scientist has speculated that he could duplicate any matter he is holding, a power surpassing simple self-duplication. His powers have, at least once, been shown to affect the actual design of the shirt he was wearing.

The original Madrox can "absorb" a duplicate, or dupe, back into himself at will, at the same time absorbing the memories, knowledge, skills and experiences of the dupe. The dupe usually appears to his side or often near a focused area, such as a finger. Jamie was formerly unable to control the duplication process. Jamie wears a special shock-absorbent synthetic stretch fabric costume that contained mechanisms that absorbed kinetic energy so that he will not create duplicates through accidental impacts. The original suit was designed by his father, Dr. Daniel Madrox, and later modified by Reed Richards. Older versions of the suit covered Madrox's entire body, except for his face, and were dotted with small, circular shock-absorbent pads. Jamie currently wears a stylized shirt with only six large green shock-absorbent pads on the front of the torso. Whether this indicates a greater degree of control over when his dupes manifest or simply an advance in technology is unclear.

During his time with X-Factor, the maximum number of dupes Madrox could create (including the dupe's dupes) was about 40, but the limit has grown far larger since then. Duplicates have independent minds from the original, but are usually willing to merge back because their memories and knowledge are retained. However, there have been exceptions where duplicates have wished for independence completely. A dupe that is "the part of you (Madrox) that can't be trusted" has announced that he plans to keep popping out.

As a last ditch effort, Madrox's abilities can be used to deadly effect, which were used in self-defense against Seamus Mellencamp[19], when Madrox jammed his hand into Mellencamp's mouth and activated his power, creating duplicates inside Mellencamp and exploding him from the inside out. Seamus Mellencamp is a member of the Supervillain group the Acolytes, who serve Magneto.

Madrox's duplicates can perish without long term physical harm to himself, as demonstrated when the mutant Proteus possessed a duplicate then consumed its life force — leaving only a burnt out husk, as with all victims of Proteus. The possession caused Madrox to collapse in pain, aware of what was happening, but he later recovered.

Madrox also uses merging with his duplicates as a form of healing. Originally, uninjured dupes "shared" the damage when they merged, e. g. , if an injured Madrox merged with an uninjured Madrox, the resulting Madrox had an injury half as severe as the original injury. Now, however, the core Madrox can reabsorb injured or even near-dead dupes without taking on any of their physical injuries at all, although the memories of traumatic experiences still affect him. He still uses this technique to combat the effects of poisons; splitting them between duplicates lessens the effect.

As a consequence of splitting into multiple selves, Jamie has accumulated a vast wealth of knowledge and experience, along with some confusion over which Jamie did what. For example, although he says his duplicates have had active sex lives, he is not sure whether the main Jamie ever has. Because of the infinite nature of his powers, his duplicates can potentially represent a variety of aspects of his character and to varying extents.

Specific special skills accumulated through his vast experience include picking locks, some proficiency in Shaolin Kung Fu, handgun training, multiple languages including Russian and Hawaiian, and playing-card throwing. Shaolin Kung Fu refers to a collection of Chinese martial arts that claim affiliation with the Shaolin Monastery. Along the way, he and/or his duplicates participated in an Olympic gymnastics team and apparently became a licensed attorney.

The extent of how many 'dupes' Madrox can produce and how many are still at large is unknown — at one point, an upper limit of forty, counting the original, was established, but this has since been called into question. It is conceivable that he has dupes in the far corners of the world.

Madrox has generally been considered a mutant. A mutant within the Marvel Comic books particularly those of the X-Men mythos is an individual who possesses a genetic trait called an However, unlike most mutants whose mutant powers emerge during adolescence, Madrox exhibited his gifts from the day he was born. As a result, recent issues of X-Factor have raised some question as to whether or not he is a mutant or something altogether different. Nevertheless, an examination of Marvel's many mutant characters shows that Madrox is not the only mutant whose powers have been depicted as manifesting at birth or otherwise earlier than adolescence, like Nathan Summers, Franklin Richards, Leech or Artie Maddicks. Cable is a Fictional character that appears in Comic books published by Marvel Comics. Franklin Richards is a Fictional character that appears in the Marvel Universe. Leech is a character in the Marvel Comics Universe Leech made his first appearance in Uncanny X-Men as a Morlock, a group of mutants Arthur "Artie" Maddicks is a fictional Comic book character in Marvel Comics ' Shared universe, the Marvel Universe.
