X-Statix (Earth-616)

History
After the original X-Force seemed to sacrifice themselves, producer Spike Freeman thought up an idea to have a public mutant team with government backing.
Most of the original members were killed, especially in a disastrous mission trying to save the 'boy band' pop group Boyz R' Us from kidnappers. This was secretly planned by Coach and Zeitgeist, who felt the body count and changing rosters would add interest. Zeitgeist was regretful though, and ended up being one of the members killed.
Freeman himself was killed after trying to have Lacuna murdered.
The original X-Force led by Domino later confronted them and forced them to drop the X-Force name. On their next mission, a dying U-Go-Girl suggested X-Statix as their new name.
After saving Doop from government hands, the remaining members decided to retire. However, on their last mission, a group of unknown gunmen ambushed them, apparently killing all.
