"I'm sick of letting them get away with it. Sick of the squalid little deals that keep butchers and bastards scurrying around in the dark, instead of dragged out into the light and shot. Sick of putting possible repercussions ahead of what I know needs doing. Sick of the same old excuses for looking the other way that I've been hearing from everyone for the last fifteen years. I'm calling fucking time on it."

"You in?"

X-Force is Pete Wisdom's operational squad, designed to discover and response to threats that are either too political, too sensitive, or just plain too weird to call in the X-Men for. With the combined intelligence training of the leaders, X-Force specialized in investigative approach, using a combination of skills and powers to identify plots and threats, and providing a response to them.

Team Structure

X-Force is a different beast to the X-Men. There is no real hierarchy in the group. The closest thing to a leader is Wisdom, by both dint of his experience and abilities. Past him, Remy and Betsy are normally in command in the field, depending on the situation. Ultimately though, it's a loose team collective, who operate more as a team of specialists as opposed to a police or military unit.

X-Force is focused on maintaining a flexible range of specialities and abilities, while providing an overall training in intelligence and operations. They occasionally will either support operations by the mansion and the X-Men, normally providing intelligence and research on situations.

X-Force lacks the equipment of the mansion, such as Cerebro or the Danger Room, but they do have their own unique abilities. Since there are no uniforms and no external signs of their job, they operate primarily in a covert fasion, allowing them to breech borders and interfere in the affairs of other countries without the fear of discovery or reprecussions. As well, Wisdom, LeBeau, and Braddock all possessed relatively robust intelligence networks and contacts while working with the X-Men. They have taken and expanded those to cast a wide net over the globe, giving them an edge against their opponents in operations.

Training is split between all members of the team. Often powers training will be done with the assistance of the mansion, and all of the older members mentor one of the younger ones in specific hand to hand training. Past that, fairly extensive cross training is encouraged, to help all of the member pick up additional skills and abilities from each other.

The majority of X-Force have cover jobs with the Snow Valley Memorial Center for Mutant Affairs, a mutant think-tank with offices in Manhattan, New York.
