History

A New Team

Cyclops reformed X-Force as a black ops squad, consisting of Wolverine, Warpath, Wolfsbane and X-23, to take care of the dirty business the rest of the X-Men wouldn't do normally, including murder.

Their first mission involved infiltrating a North Dakota SHIELD facility to route out a group of Purifiers who had infiltrated the base and stolen valuable technology required to resurrect the Sentinel known as Bastion. [1] Unfortunately, on their first mission, Wolfsbane was captured by Matthew Risman and brainwashed her into admitting that she was a demon and to bring Warren Worthington's wings to him, savagely ripping them off. Risman used the technology left behind by Apocalypse in those wings to create the "Choir", a legion of Purifiers with organic metal wings. However, Worthington transformed into Archangel, angrily desiring to kill those who took his wings. He and X-Force arrived in the middle of a schism between Risman's Choir and the Purifiers under Bastion's control. Though Risman was killed, X-Force informed Cyclops that Bastion had resurrected six of the most dangerous mutant killers in history: William Stryker, the Leper Queen, Graydon Creed, Bolivar Trask, Stephen Lang and Cameron Hodge, in preparations for the ultimate extinction of mutantkind.

X-Force was joined by Domino, who helped them in hunting Vanisher, who had located a vial of the deadly Legacy Virus. After forcibly recruiting Vanisher onto the team, they disposed of the vial. However, the Right had located three more samples of the virus, which Bastion used on innocent mutants, whose powers went out of control, causign anti-mutant sediment.

Messiah War

Cyclops dispatched X-Force to the future to rescue Cable and the Messiah Child, Hope Summers. There, X-force met up with Cable and Deadpool to battle the Age of Stryfe that Bishop had helped him create by weakening Apocalypse. X-Force battled Stryfe's armies, Bishop, and joined up with Apocalypse to defeat Stryfe and stop Bishop from killing hope. X-Force returneds to the present while Hope and Cable jumped into the future once more.
