Following the events of House of M and the shutdown of X-Corporation, M, who also has appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair,X-Factor vol. 3 #9 (Sept. 2006) has opted to join X-Factor Investigations, a private detective agency run by Multiple Man. Monet completed her first mission on the team by telepathically tricking the famous actor Jack Vaughn to confess to the murder of Gloria Santiago's sister. Afterwards, Monet broke down crying in Jamie Madrox's arms, but quickly threatened to break him in half if he ever revealed her moment of "weakness". A comment made to Rictor seems to imply she no longer wishes to go by the name M. However, in a therapy session with Doc Samson, Monet stated that she hides behind the "M" persona so that others will not see how vulnerable she has become after the long time she was held captive by her brother.X-Factor vol. 3 #13 (Jan. 2007)
