X-Factor # 69, published by Marvel Comics in August 1991, is titled "Nigh On Armageddon!" This issue is a crucial part of the "Inferno" storyline aftermath and is notable for the dramatic revelation of the truth about the missing children in the mutant-haven of Genosha. 

The issue is primarily centered around the resolution of the Genoshan crisis, where the X-Men and X-Factor have traveled to the island nation to rescue their captured members and uncover a conspiracy. 

  • The Revelation: The heroes discover the horrific truth: all of the children born on Genosha who showed mutant powers were being systematically rounded up, taken from their parents, and placed in forced "mutant-slavery" camps to be brainwashed and trained as agents for the Genoshan government.
  • Wipe's Redemption: The mutant known as Wipe, who had been erasing the memories of the captured mutants, helps the heroes expose the truth to the public through the global media.
  • A New Leader: Amidst the chaos, the heroes rescue their captured allies and confront the Genoshan leadership. The mutant Haven takes control of the nation from the genocidal leaders, offering the captured mutants safety.
  • The Status Quo Shift: The X-Factor team, led by Cyclops and Jean Grey, successfully ends the regime, fundamentally changing the political landscape for mutants in the Marvel Universe and setting the stage for the highly anticipated X-Men #1 relaunch that followed this event.
