Notes:

The Collective Man was believed dead after "he" grew to giant size, was stabbed, and exploded in Citizen V & the V-Battalion: The Everlasting #3. The V-Battalion took his pieces on board their starship Vanguard for study, and that ship was sucked into a black hole and destroyed in Thunderbolts #75. In Cable / Deadpool #8, Cable confirmed FOUR brothers of the Collective Man were still alive, but the deceased brother has not been named. The brothers returned on-panel in X-Men (2nd series) #159, demonstrating new powers of duplication and megamorphing.
