History

X-Force was created from the team known as the New Mutants by the half-cyborg mutant known as Cable. After most of the New Mutants went their separate ways, Cable reorganized the team, which originally consisted of the mutants Cannonball, Boom-Boom (later renamed as Meltdown), Warpath (now known as Proudstar), Shatterstar, Feral, and "Domino." (Note: It was later revealed that "Domino" was actually a shapeshifter named Copycat. The real Domino joined the group after she was rescued).

Where the other X-teams believed in protecting humans from evil mutants, X-Force adopted a proactive attitude towards mutant terrorists. Cable's basic philosophy, which he related to his team, was "Get them before they get you." X-Force was involved in attacks on mutants such as the Mutant Liberation Front, and was itself branded early in its career as a group of terrorists.

Siryn and Spider-Man aided the team when Black Tom and the Juggernaut attempted to bomb the World Trade Center in New York. Syrin remained with the team.

When Cable's clone Stryfe made an assassination attempt on Professor Charles Xavier, the assassin seemed to be Cable. Assuming Cable was the assassin, X-Factor hunted for X-Force. A fight ensued, but it was only when the X-Men joined in that X-Force was defeated. X-Force's members were taken prisoner and locked up in the X-Men's Danger Room for a time.

X-Force continued its status as an outlaw band of mutants, dodging both their enemies and the government agents of Operation: Zero Tolerance.

X-Force recruited Pete Wisdom to train them for a time. X-Force apparently disbanded shortly after the new team that would eventually be known as the X-Statix swiped their name without permission. Several former members went on to join Xavier's X-corporation.
