Marvel quoted Jensen in its solicitation.

"The mini-series can be best summarized this way: X-Men meets Mississippi Burning meets The X-Files," said Jensen. "The 'heroes' in the story include Wolverine, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Beast, Cyclops, and two very disturbed FBI agents. Other than that, X-Factor will feature large doses of mystery, murder, religion, politics--not to mention proesthetic limbs. I'm serious."
