X-Factor was a heel professional wrestling stable in the World Wrestling Federation led by X-Pac that featured Justin Credible and Albert.
The faction was formed on the February 12, 2001 episode of RAW is WAR when Justin Credible made his WWF debut, saving X-Pac from an attack by rival Chris Jericho. X-Pac and Credible formed a tag team, and soon afterward, Albert joined the faction as its enforcer. X-Factor played on X-Pac's heat with the fans and met with some measure of success with X-Pac winning the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship twice, Justin Credible winning the WWF Hardcore Championship 5 times and Albert winning the WWF Intercontinental Championship.
The High points of their career came when they defeated The Dudley Boys at Backlash 2001. They would also lose to the Hardys at Insurrextion in the same year. Their last PPV appearance came when X-Pac and Justin Credible lost to The Hardys in singles matches for the Light Heavyweight Championship and the European Championship.
When the WWF became involved in the Alliance angle, Justin Credible joined the ECW faction led by Paul Heyman. Despite being on the WWF side, X-Pac and Albert would play heel characters throughout the Invasion storyline, feuding with other WWF wrestlers. With only 2 members left, the faction gradually faded when X-Pac suffered an injury in October 2001, while Albert went on to form a new tag team with Scotty 2 Hotty.
The second version of the trio's entrance music was "What'chu Lookin' At" by Uncle Kracker.
