Mutant X was first alluded to in X-Men (1st series) #104. Kevin MacTaggert died in #128, and was later resurrected and bonded with Piecemeal in Uncanny X-Men Annual (1st series) #15. He committed suicide in X-Factor Annual #6, preferring the nothingness of death to life. However, he was recently resurrected in X-Men Legacy #232-234, as a side-effect of Necrosha.

As of House of X #5, Proteus stabilized among the Resurrection Five. They provide him with replaceable husks based on Charles Xavier, allowing Kevin to inhabit a single physical form without seeking out other bodies.
