—James Madrox of the Fallen Angels

History

The Fallen Angels

This Jamie Madrox was a duplicate of Madrox who sought to remain apart from the original and live his own life. To this end, he drugged the original Madrox and joined Moira MacTaggert and Siryn on a trip to the U.S. to search for Sunspot and Warlock, two missing members of the New Mutants. There, they met the young mutant group known as the Fallen Angels. Unable to convince them to come back home, Jamie and Siryn joined the Fallen Angels as well.

With the Angels, they met Boom-Boom, visited the Valley of the Flame, on Dinosaur World, and traveled to Coconut Grove, the home planet of their teammate Ariel. The inhabitants of the Coconut Grove captured the Fallen Angels, intending to use them as experiments to continue their evolution, but the Angels worked together to defeat them and return home. In the end, Sunspot and Warlock decided to return to the New Mutants, but Siryn and Madrox chose to remain with the Angels for a while longer, instead of going home to Muir Island.

X-Factor & the Nasty Boys

The original Madrox eventually joined the government-sponsored X-Factor team. Unknown to Madrox, his rogue duplicate had since found a place in the Nasty Boys, a team of super-powered mercenaries employed by the geneticist Mister Sinister.

After having shot a duplicate, the evil one came to a press conference of X-Factor and engaged a massive duplicate battle with the real one, arguing on who was the true James Madrox.

The duplicate managed to convince X-Factor that he was the original, even talking about the Coconut Grove stuff which was unknown to Madrox, and pretending he was gone to the U.S. to travel, leaving Moira MacTaggert with a duplicate.

He then merged the original in him, but it was a ruse from Madrox in order to expose the imposter. He came back from the dimension where the dupes originate and reabsorbed his evil dupe and his memories, learning the truth about Sinister and the Nasty Boys.

Attributes

Powers

Identical to those of Madrox Prime.

Abilities

He possessed mental block who kept him from merging his memories with Madrox and the others dupes. It is unknown if those blocks are technological, from a secondary mutation, a mutate state or a psychic training.

Paraphernalia

Transportation

Formerly Ariel's teleportation.

Notes

Paradoxically wanting to live from his own, he refused mutated Madroxes that right. Contrary to this one, he wasn't detected to be different from his source, although he manifested the same wish as the mutated one to stay away from Madrox Prime. His want of more freedom possibly came from the fact he reabsorbed him.
