Synopsis
There are two Multiple Men duking it out both claiming to be the real Jamie Madrox and X-Factor tries to figure out which one is the real deal while also trying to quell a public relations nightmare. Guido coins the term "genetically challenged" or "geecee" as the preferred way to address a mutant.
