#MEMBERS OF X FORCE SERIES#
In the early 2000s, writer Peter Milligan and artist Mike Allred dramatically revamped the series for the reality TV era, re-imaging X-Force as a group of fame-hungry mutant celebrities. X-Force went through a phase where the team became leaderless nomads. That departure started a process of continued reinvention for the X-Force franchise, one which continues even now. However, X-Force's popularity quickly waned after Liefeld joined fellow Marvel artists like Lee and Todd McFarlane in leaving the company to form Image Comics in 1992. The darker, more violent tone of the series and Liefeld's bombastic art style struck a chord with fans. X-Force #1 quickly became the second best-selling American comic book of all time, eclipsed only by Chris Claremont and Jim Lee's X-Men #1 earlier the same year (both records still stand today). That evolution culminated with the finale of New Mutants and the debut of X-Force #1 in fall 1991. The two creators took over Marvel's popular New Mutants comic in 1989, morphing the series from one focused on a younger generation of X-Men to one where Cable began training these mutants to form a new paramilitary task force. Origin and BackgroundThe concept of X-Force was created by Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza. Those include Wolverine, his clone, X-23, psychic ninja Psylocke and thief/master of misdirection Fantomex. Some of the more recent incarnations of X-Force have featured X-Men pulling double-duty as mutant assassins. Other frequent X-Force members include Cannonball, who can fly at great speeds and generate a protective force field around his body, Boom-Boom, who can generate explosive time bombs, and Warpath, a super-strong hunter and tracker who carries twin vibranium daggers. She'll be played by Zazie Beetz in Deadpool 2. Click here to learn more about Domino's role in the X-Men franchise.
