X-Force is coming BACK!?

[marco19]

so the rumors have been flying fast and furious and i now think that X-force is coming back.....first there was a mention in the new civil war battle damage report, rob liefeld who is not involved at all has strongly alluded to the book coming back and we got a few no comments at the x-men panel in la......now what do you think the team will be....obviosly Brubaker says he loves warpath so i think hes stayin with uncanny, richtor and siryn both have great chemistry with the x-factor team.... carey has hinted Cable will be leaving the x0men soon so hes a go....we probbaly have domino, shatterstar, boom boom, perhaps caliban maybe sunspot,,,,and im sure theres still some untapped mutants out there that could join up. any thoughts or suggestions

[Brian M.]

I think Cable has his own book to worry about. I wouldn't count him in.

Cannonball is always one to look for. After the reshuffle on Carey's book Sam could be free.

[Mikl C]

I hope so!
I hope Skroce draws it. Is Skroce still drawing? lol. I liked him.

[Editor]

Oh GOD!!!!

The X-Books are all really good at the moment.

Don't defacate on it all Marvel! I beg you!!!

[Kaos]

What's wrong with X-force man?

[Editor]

What's wrong with X-force man?

1) The last X-Force mini was a turd coated abortion

2) Liefeld

3) See above

Meh

I liked X-force

[Beast]

Yeah, I read pretty much everything X-Men and even I skipped the last X-Force stuff. Ugh.

[RonnieThunderbolts]

Nextwave is supposed to remain a team, to be used in further mini series by Immonen and Ellis, according to some Ellis interviews. So Tabitha is out.

[We R. Venom]

I never knew much about X-Force but I didn't really like it. I hope that if they do bring it back, they can make it likable for me. Cuz that is what is most important.:D

[Editor]

Leaving any X-Force title rather pointless.

Domino is great as a supporting character in the awesome Cable & Deadpool.

X-Force would be totally superfluous and would be one mutant title too many IMO.

[Flight]

Maybe they mean the X-Statix team! They were known as X-Force once!
Now that would be something to start a thread about.

[Siddon]

Well they did leave a number of X-forcers powered, Bishop is free and Hine is under contract

my guess

X-force pro reg

Bishop
Sunspot
Empath
Magma
Sabra
Domino
Shatterstar

[Kingrambo912]

Yeah I was thinking a pro-reg team as well and to be honest those first four you listed were all on that team in my mind, possibly with Karma or Thunderbird added.

[Flameworthy]

The only way I'd buy this is if Bedlam was part of the team. It was never really confirmed he was dead, and if Liefield has no involvement. That last attempt at X-Force was trash, plain and simple.

[xmanson]

No need ror this, really.

[Frodo-X]

Well they did leave a number of X-forcers powered, Bishop is free and Hine is under contract

my guess

X-force pro reg

Bishop
Sunspot
Empath
Magma
Sabra
Domino
Shatterstar
If it does happen, I hope Hine doesn't write it.

Giving him a book with mutants, you know Johnny "I SUCK" Dee will turn up within the first arc.

[Deadpooligan]

It'd make sense if the New X-Men became X-Force, but only because of the fact that they're basically the New Mutants of today.

Also, there's no X-Force without Cable, but he's only going as far away from his duo book as one or two arcs in Adjectiveless.

Geez, Editor. Liefeld's not the only guy who worked on X-Force, y'know. One of the greatest writers in Deadpool History was on X-Force; Fabian Nicieza. His dialog scripting was great despite some of Liefeld's plots. For me, X-Force really picked up after Issue 12. (Fabes got on full-time pen duties).

And if you don't love Deadpool, the fourth wall is gonna fall down on ya. What's there to hate about the guy, really? Buy his book, dammit!

[Tobias March]

Sure but in Editor's defence, what was posted was 1) Rob Liefield is talking about an X-Force book 2)this would imply Liefield is involved.

And somehow the man gets work as a plotter as well as a penciler. Nicieza, disciplined writer that he is, had two losing battles - tie up Claremont's loose ends on X-Men and sort through Liefield's plots on X-Force. Then again in the recent mini-series. Milligan killed off his crowd, so it'd probably be the same old bunch.

Honestly who else is going to use Shatterstar? I've nothing against the character as such - but he's a Wolverine knock-off who hasn't moved beyond his 'guy with swords who's a bit nuts', since the early X-Force. Nicieza tried to do some interesting stuff with him, but then got taken off the book in favour of Loeb. `Milligan's book completely revamped the concept of X-Force. Now that title has ended and the New Warriors book is coming out with a similar premise to the original X-Force - young heroes revolt against their elders with terrorist tactics - what's really left to do?

[Frodo-X]

what's really left to do?

Have a sexy party!! :D

[satchmo the dragon]

Brubaker says he loves warpath

Um . . . why?

[lament]

I'd buy an X-Force title in a second, as long as Liefield wasn't involved. I didn't read X-Force until he left the book. His grossly contorted bodies make my head hurt.

Since I love Hine's work, I'd be totally on board with him writing the title (or another X-title, for that matter). I wouldn't mind seeing Empath and Magma turn up in such a title...

[Faded]

I hate to be anti-[so and so], but I probably wouldn't give it a chance if Liefield was on it. It's a little because I don't like his art, a little because his choice of characters weren't my favorite during his respective runs. He's just not my cup of tea. But X-Force has had its share of good runs, and I'd be willing to give it a try if Hine was writing. A mutant Initiative team seems like the best bet IMO, but if it were something proactive regarding Endangered Species or about X-Cell or other depowered mutants I'd be jizzing all over your bathroom wall.

X-Statix returning would be better, though.

I hope you'd clean it up! :eek:

[Niro]

X-force used to be good, but with all the other X-books out there i dunno how x-force would work out, and if they did make it associated with the reg government then i definitely wouldnt pick it up

[Zombienorthstar]

I love how everyone ONLY associates X-Force with Liefield, what about the excellent Road Trip era with Adam Pollina as artist?

[Sentinel K]

I love how everyone ONLY associates X-Force with Liefield, what about the excellent Road Trip era with Adam Pollina as artist?

The fact is, if X-Force WERE to return, it most likely WOULD be a Liefeld vehicle.

Who else would be interested? Few other titles have a '90's sucked!' stigma attatched to them than X-Force, even though I greatly enjoyed Nicieza's run on the title.

[Mikl C]

so the rumors have been flying fast and furious and i now think that X-force is coming back.....first there was a mention in the new civil war battle damage report, rob liefeld who is not involved at all has strongly alluded to the book coming back and we got a few no comments at the x-men panel in la......now what do you think the team will be....obviosly Brubaker says he loves warpath so i think hes stayin with uncanny, richtor and siryn both have great chemistry with the x-factor team.... carey has hinted Cable will be leaving the x0men soon so hes a go....we probbaly have domino, shatterstar, boom boom, perhaps caliban maybe sunspot,,,,and im sure theres still some untapped mutants out there that could join up. any thoughts or suggestions

Am I the only one seing this?

[Sentinel K]

Yes.

Ooooops.

and have patrick zircher draw it

[marco19]

liefeld flat out stated on his own board that he has another marvel project he is doing and is not involved in any way with the new x-force.....also david hine said on his x-fan board after civil war x-men and silent war he will not be doing any more work for the x-men office and such

knee-jerk reaction....sniff....we've been hurt so many times! :(

[Karl H]

Please lord no more X-Force...

Had Wanda said that, I'd be happy...

[Zombienorthstar]

Please lord no more X-Force...

Had Wanda said that, I'd be happy...

But Road Trip was BRILLIANT.

Ditch the mutant paramilitant group idea and embrace the 'we're not a team, we're a group of friends trying to make our way in the world...oh and we have super powers' concept

Runaways kind of has that covered.

[Zombienorthstar]

Runaways kind of has that covered.

Sorry...i think if i keep pimping the eleven issues of road trip ill get a hardcover....i really want it.

[dotdotdot]

it would be pretty out of left field if this was the next millar/hitch project

[rwsmith]

Rogue's team pretty much is X-Force right now, so any new incarnation of X-Force would be redundant and silly IMO.

I mean, sure, they call themselves X-men, but they are the most proactive "take no prisoners" cell of the X-books. Plus they've got Cable and Cannonball, who were both leaders of X-Force at one time.

So, like I said, what would be the point of a new X-Force book?

Maybe making the group of Gov't mutants ala X-Factor from the '90's?

[That JonoGuy]

As much as I loved the original X-Force series, I really don't think there is much of a place for it in the MU at the moment. The new New Warriors series sounds to be very similar to the original X-Force concept, and we also have Carey's X-Men which has a similar X-Force vibe. I don't really like the idea of having a new X-Force team being overnment pawns either. It's kinda a slap in the face to the way the original X-Force ran, plus most of the original X-Force member are elsewhere and are pretty well involved in the series they are in. I think X-Force really has run it's course for the moment.

[streator]

i might pick up another x-force book if the creative team and included characters were to my liking.

i collected all of the first series but passed on the recent mini.

[wshaunpennington]

I'd like to see a more proactive group take on the X-Force name. No preparing for a war. No bonding together in misery. I'd like to maybe see a group funded by Worthington industries. A group of proactive mutants/ex-mutants who are trying to change the way the world looks at mutants by supporting the community, responding to negative mutant press, etc. X-Force would be a job for these mutants, and there would be conflicts, just like there always are in the workplace. The cast I imagine would be:

Shadowcat functionins as the team field leader and the normal-seeming mutant who is chosing to devote her life to improving mutant/human relations. I'd like to see her go back to college, work on her degree and become more active in the political sector.

Chamber is the dark and broody obvious mutant who really has no place else to go. There's no way for him to function in normal human society, so he takes the only job available, as a member of X-Force. He has no interest in improving mutant/human relations, his goal is to just get by. I see him as an antagonistic yet romantic foil for Kitty.

Husk is the idealist. She convinced Angel to start X-Force, but Angel chose to put Shadowcat in charge of the team. She is bitter about this, but stands behind the idea of the team. I see her in conflict with both Shadowcat and Sunspot, who are the two authority figures for the team.

Sunspot is the pragmatist. He is in charge of the financial aspects of the organization, and is more concerned with the bottom line than human/mutant relations. He also still has ties to the Hellfire Club and has brought Empath along for the ride, causing conflict with the more idealistic/heroic members of the team.

Empath is the manipulator. He has come as an advisor for Sunspot and to satisfy his own amusement. He revels in his mutant powers and this brings him into direct conflict with the ex-mutant member of the team

Moonstar is the heart and soul of the team. She doesn't have powers anymore, so she has to compensate with her natural physical toughness and her wits. She tries to be the peacemaker, but has trouble working with Empath, who deliberately stirs up trouble.

Tempo is the reluctant member of the team who has betrayed the MLF twice and is trying to lay low. She works as a receptionist for the organization and does everything she can to not get involved in combat or situations that would require her to use her powers.

Angel is the funder and benefactor of the team, but is not actually involved in the group. He is hands-off and allows X-Force to manage itsself, but is still a supporting character due to the nature of the project and his relationship with Husk.

I see them trying to work with SHIELD to neutralize mutant threats to the human population and threats to the reduced mutant population. I see them donating money and man-power to community development, and becoming the new X-Corp. The public face of the mutant community.

It would never be as cheesy as X-Statix, but the book would be a great opportunity to examine the concepts of celebrity, commodity and commerce from the mutant standpoint while still telling exciting stories.

[Kingrambo912]

That is a pretty awesome team, the only change I would make would be Magma for Tempo.

[The Sword Is Drawn]

I would like to read an X-Force without Cable, but a new concept in a similar vain. For me I would like to see that spilling out from Civil War and perhaps featuring the following:

Bishop - Heading up the team. Logically, having split himself from the X-Men in Civil War, never having felt truly part of them anyway, and having allied himself with the O.N.E. he would have no qualms of going his own way for a while.

Sabra and Micromax: Both worked for Bioshop during Civil War and two characters who have always had a heck of a lot of potential - but never really been on a team book for long enough to make a real impact.

Domino and Shatterstar: A link to the original X-Force, but also had a distinct role with Civil War X-Men.

And possible:

Dani - With Valkrie powers

or

Gambit - After Endangered Species has run it's course. He's not going to feel ready to return to the X-Men, may want to atone for his former sins, and I like the idea of a man Bishop DID NOT trust when he first arrived in this time period, but who he learned to trust over time, being given a chance on his team.

[Mitsaso]

I hope it's X-Force/X-Static that comes back.:o

What's Milligan doing these days, anywayz?

[Zombienorthstar]

I'd go for a radical idea. A non-mutant team. Not affiliated with the Xavier Institue.

Tony Stark is having a meeting with high ranking SHIELD agents to give them a rundown for his newest proposal. He plans to make an extremly public friendly team of young super heroes....very aware of public relations and targetting the 18-34 demographic. To wipe away the negative impact left by the New Warriors (and their new imitators) He explains that they have an untapped resource for new super heros and explains that mutants due to the nature of their abbilites and social standing are 86% more likely to have combat training. He plans to use this untapped resource by repowering a team of seven depowered mutants through a mixture of the magic, technology and bio chemistry at his disposal as SHIELD director and give them new super hero identites and costumes.

I'm guessing about five of the members would be exsisting known depowered mutants and two would be depowered mutants created especially for the series.

Some roster suggestions:

Radius is given the microcircuitry-lined belt originally owned by Project: Pegasus security director Joseph Cartelli and becomes the new Blue Shield (though with a better costume)

Danielle Moonstar goes through a mystical ceremony to amplify her precognitive death sense and becomes the new Valkyrie.

etc....

[rwsmith]

Maybe making the group of Gov't mutants ala X-Factor from the '90's?

That's a possibility, but virtually none of the old X-Forcers would join something like that. I know Cable, Warpath, Domino, Feral and Shatterstar never would. Perhaps Cannonball and Meltdown.

But if this X-Force is more of a government or O.N.E. sanctioned mutant team, then perhaps it will be led by Bishop and made up of totally different characters. I could see that.

[Faded]

My pitch:

X-Force: The [insert state] Superhero Team, combined of former mutants who are promised governmental assistance in the M-Day Disaster in exchange for helping them with the SHRA.

Members: Danielle Moonstar, Sofia Mantega, Jonothan Starsmore, Kyle Gibney, and Shola Inkosi.

Sofia's already going to be in New Warriors.;)

[twilight]

I'd like to see a return of the Milligan X-Force but the Cable/Liefeld/Shouldpadsquad version?No thanks.

[Faded]

Sofia's already going to be in New Warriors.;)

Yeah, she'll only be in it if she's not going to become a member. ;)

[CmX]

IMO if they were to bring back X-Force I think it would be interesting it was composed up of registered mutants/de-powered and it was one of the 50-initiative teams.

[dazzler_slave]

Um . . . why?

Um...because some of us think he's a great character with a lot of potential...that's why.

Dude...check out my pitch...like two posts up :D

[dazzler_slave]

I love how everyone ONLY associates X-Force with Liefield, what about the excellent Road Trip era with Adam Pollina as artist?

Exactly! That run, with John Francis Moore as writer (and Jim Cheung later as penciller) was one of the best runs ever on any of the satellite X-Titles. I still read it over and over. Not all of us equate X-Force with Leifeld...

[the Hornet]

It'd make sense if the New X-Men became X-Force, but only because of the fact that they're basically the New Mutants of today.

Also, there's no X-Force without Cable, but he's only going as far away from his duo book as one or two arcs in Adjectiveless.

Geez, Editor. Liefeld's not the only guy who worked on X-Force, y'know. One of the greatest writers in Deadpool History was on X-Force; Fabian Nicieza. His dialog scripting was great despite some of Liefeld's plots. For me, X-Force really picked up after Issue 12. (Fabes got on full-time pen duties).

And if you don't love Deadpool, the fourth wall is gonna fall down on ya. What's there to hate about the guy, really? Buy his book, dammit!

To me X-Force was always about Cannonball, not Cable. He was Cable's "go-to" guy. When Cannonball left, it was almost like a step up. When he came back, it was a step down. I loved X-force during the Fabe and later JMF days, but honestly I don't want to see anymore of the 90s satelitte teams return. The X-Men franchise moved on and I rather see all the characters in within the 3 X-Men books. I did not want X-Factor or Excalibur either, but since they are so good, I can't complain. But I would have prefered PAD to write another non X-Men related book with Jamie, Guido and Rahne with a new book name.

If they want to do a new X-Force book, fine. But I hope that they leave Cannonball in X-Men. I hate the way Marvel moves him out as soon as they want to launch a new X-Force series.

[Faded]

Dude...check out my pitch...like two posts up :D

LOL! If were ever to merge, we'd be unstoppable!

I'm good with X-Factor because I love it and Excalibur since it already exists and has its fans, but I'd probably keep the satellite titles low as well. We don't want it to get out of control again, ie ReLoad.

[Billy]

Its good to see that alot of lovers of Fabian's X-Force run, I thought the book was great around #15 onwards to the end of his run.

He was the only writer who seemed to do anything interesting with Shatterstar, its kind of annoying that all other writers have no idea what to do with him. People seem to see him as a Longshot ripoff or a Wolverine ripoff, when he honestly not like either.

With the current trend in comics, its remarkable to see how original X-Force was. Its sad that alot of people let preconseptions get the better of them.

Honestly, I'll rather it not come back, maybe if it was written by Fabian Nicieza. They have destroyed New Warriors, I don't want that to happen to X-Force.

I enjoy reading Rictor and Siryn in X-Factor. Sam in X-Men is great too, even though I don't pick the book up regularly.

[The Sword Is Drawn]

I hope it's X-Force/X-Static that comes back.:o

What's Milligan doing these days, anywayz?

Hiding out from all the millitant X-Fans who he took the piss out of with one of the worst X-Men runs ever written...? Just a theory...:rolleyes: :D

[Zombienorthstar]

LOL! If were ever to merge, we'd be unstoppable!


Just call us Nicole and Claudette St Croix, baby.

[kate-pryde]

There have been rumors/speculation about Xavier having a new student team. X-Force could be it.

I can't see Xavier going back to the school with Scott and Emma in charge and there really isn't anything there for him to do even if they reconciled.

So maybe Xavier forms a team with some of the younger X-Men and older New X-Men?

[Mitsaso]

Hiding out from all the millitant X-Fans who he took the piss out of with one of the worst X-Men runs ever written...? Just a theory...:rolleyes: :D
LOL!
I knew this was coming, but I couldn't resist asking...:p
I meant if he's got any comic books coming. Preferably something that he creates, so that he doesn't step on anyone's continuity and favorites characters...

[Post-It]

I would like to read an X-Force without Cable, but a new concept in a similar vain. For me I would like to see that spilling out from Civil War and perhaps featuring the following:

I could see that. I think Stark would love to have some mutant support. Plus, it makes sense that some mutants would want to register and be heroes. Also, I would consider Beast for this roster due to the fact he is teaching at the Initiative boot camp. Finally, Stark has been recycling names of old teams so maybe he will name the government mutant team X-Force since no one is currently using it.

[lament]

I love how everyone ONLY associates X-Force with Liefield, what about the excellent Road Trip era with Adam Pollina as artist?


That was a wonderful era. I still get those issues out and read them once in a while.

[jawbreaker]

sorry to quote something a ways back but this gave me a good chuckle:

There's no way for him to function in normal human society, so he takes the only job available, as a member of X-Force.

somewhere Claremont & Whedon are wretching simultaneously...

[Willminus2]

Yaaaay!!! I loved X-Force when I first started reading comics and then kinda got sick of it later. I really think I stopped reading it somewhere around that Adam Pollina era where I thought the art was just terrible. So sue me I liked Liefield's time on the book. Personally I'd rather have something like them out there fighting the rat bastards of the world on their own levels. I'd use:

Cable - I don't think this book is great without him.
Husk - A guthrie is a must for this book.
Dani Moonstar - That would be awesome, maybe they could find a way to give her the powers back.
Shatterstar - I love this guy! He's awesome!
Gambit - Yeah I like Gambit in this series.
Sunspot - I haven't seen him in forever.
Justice - He's a mutant right?

[ExtraEpidermis]

Just call us Nicole and Claudette St Croix, baby.

I love you for this reference. . . .

But yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing an X-Force Initiative type team led by Bishop. Throw Dani Moonstar and maybe Sabra and Husk and some others on there and it could be a pretty good book.

[Zombienorthstar]

I love you for this reference. . . .


I love you for being one of the few people to get this reference....

[The Sword Is Drawn]

I never caught the end of the St Croix girls saga. Did it ever make any sense in the end?:D

[Faded]

I love you for being one of the few people to get this reference....

I got it! I just didn't have a witty response to reply with. :(

[Zombienorthstar]

I got it! I just didn't have a witty response to reply with. :(

I knew YOU did baby. How could you not? You're Faded...

[Scavenger]

For trademark reasons alone, I think it's safe to assume another X-Force title will show up at some point.

[rwsmith]

I wouldn't mind seeing them change the name of Rogue's team to X-Force. Throw in Warpath instead of Sabretooth and Deadpool instead of Karima and it would be pefect IMO.

Make the Uncanny squad the government team and add Bishop to that roster in Jimmy's place, as well as a few others: Bishop, Nightcrawler, Rachel, Darwin, Archangel, Husk, and Gambit

[patch]

i want to see a team of depowered mutants led by xavier..who help protect the mass of defenseless former mutants.

[Zombienorthstar]

I'd go for a radical idea. A non-mutant team. Not affiliated with the Xavier Institue.

Tony Stark is having a meeting with high ranking SHIELD agents to give them a rundown for his newest proposal. He plans to make an extremly public friendly team of young super heroes....very aware of public relations and targetting the 18-34 demographic. To wipe away the negative impact left by the New Warriors (and their new imitators) He explains that they have an untapped resource for new super heros and explains that mutants due to the nature of their abbilites and social standing are 86% more likely to have combat training. He plans to use this untapped resource by repowering a team of seven depowered mutants through a mixture of the magic, technology and bio chemistry at his disposal as SHIELD director and give them new super hero identites and costumes.

I'm guessing about five of the members would be exsisting known depowered mutants and two would be depowered mutants created especially for the series.

Some roster suggestions:

Radius is given the microcircuitry-lined belt originally owned by Project: Pegasus security director Joseph Cartelli and becomes the new Blue Shield (though with a better costume)

Danielle Moonstar goes through a mystical ceremony to amplify her precognitive death sense and becomes the new Valkyrie.

etc....

So which characters would you like to see included in a team like this and what super hero identities, either pre exsisting or new could they adopt.

I like your choices of Radius and Dani.

Wicked and Freakshow!!! I don't know how they would fit in with that story, but they both have cool powers. Wicked could be repowered using some form a magic or mysticism. Freakshow would be more difficult, but they could come up with something to replace his powers. They'd both need a name changes as well to fit in with the "public friendly" theme.

Jubilee because I miss her. They could easily build a suit that would replicate her former powers. I think she'd be a good ambassador for young superheroes.

I suck at creating new characters, but I'll think about it and maybe post some thoughts later.

I was trying to think of exsisting Marvel costmed identities that don't have people attached to them (or at least those people havent been seen in a while)

Argh, well that's more difficult. I have been adding on to my thoughts above though. I can't think of any good former identities to give the people I chose.

Well already thought Valkyrie for Moonstar, Blue Shield for Radius...

Mockinbird for Jubilee....a bad idea methinks....
