Notes:

Fantomex was revealed as a Weapon Plus creation in New X-Men (1st series) #130. Fantomex was killed in Uncanny X-Force (1st series) #27 when the Skinless Man ripped out his heart. He was cloned and reborn in #35 at the White Sky Facility, but his three brains were separated into three different bodies, as Fantomex, Weapon XIII, and Cluster. Fantomex retains access to EVA, but the misdirection power rested with Weapon XIII. In Uncanny X-Men Vol. 4, Fantomex hinted that he may have reversed and resolved the three body issue, but this isn't confirmed.

Fantomex's mind was cast into the astral plane in Astonishing X-Men (4th series) #6, while his body was rewritten into a new host for the Charles Xavier consciousness now known as "X". Through Krakoan resurrection, the World, or other means, he was back in a physical body in Giant-Size X-Men: Fantomex #1.
