X-Force is [[Pete Wisdom]]'s operational squad, designed to discover and respond to threats that are either too political, too sensitive, or just plain too weird to involve the [[X-Men]]. With the combined intelligence training of the leaders, X-Force specializes in an investigative approach, using a combination of skills and powers to identify plots and threats, and providing a response to them.
 
−
 
 
−
The central priorities of X-Force include:
 
−
*1) Responding to existing or potential threats to both mutants and humans before they can reach a fully prepared status.
 
−
*2) Maintaining a global intelligence program geared to monitor developments in numerous areas and fields to identify emerging threats and potential abuse.
 
−
*3) Covertly assisting selected groups, such as the X-Men, in the advancement of their agenda.

A proactive force designed to provide intelligence and operate covertly, X-Force now operates in concert with the [[:Category: X-Men |X-Men]]  and [[X-Factor]] more than they used to, providing them intelligence and support for missions, especially outside of the country. X-Force also handles the darker side of operations, allowing the X-Men to avoid missions that could compromise them.

X-Force is a very different team compared to the X-Men. It operates both covertly and in an investigative manner, unlike the close association with law enforcement and emergency personnel that the X-Men cultivate. X-Force travels as anonymously as possible, and keeps their profile as minimal as possible.

The nominal leader of the team is Pete Wisdom, due to his arrangement of X-Force in the first place, and his experience and abilities. [[Remy LeBeau]] most often takes the role of field commander in charge of operations, but that depends on the situation. However, there is no specific configuration or hierarchy in the setup of the team itself.

X-Force members are often sent to work either alone or in pairs, especially during the investigation stage of a mission. The maintenance of the global intelligence requires regular trips into the field, and it is not uncommon for one or two members of the team to be away at any one time.

X-Force is focused on maintaining a flexible range of specialties and abilities, while providing an overall training in intelligence and operations. They occasionally will support operations by the mansion and the X-Men, normally providing intelligence and research on situations. While X-Men are primarily a reactive force, X-Force is more investigative, researching and preemptively stopping things before they can become a threat.

Due to the lack of uniforms and anonymous nature of X-Force's operations, they can work under the radar of traditional media and law enforcement. They rarely allow themselves or their work to be publicized, and only a few of their contacts really know the extent of their abilities or roster. For this reason, X-Force often engages in dangerous and politically sensitive operations in other countries, which could be considered terrorist actions. There is no operational connection between X-Force and the X-Men that has been discovered, and even when they do work in concert, the connection is handled very quietly.

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 fashion, allowing them to breach borders and interfere in the affairs of other countries without the fear of discovery or repercussions. As well, Wisdom, LeBeau, and [[Betsy 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 X-Men's [[Wolverine]] offers semi-regular advanced hand-to-hand training for some of the more advanced junior members, especially those with similar abilities such as [[Sarah Morlocke]].

Beyond the usual communications gear a team such as this needs, X-Force has little in the way of specialized equipment. They use Emma Frost's private jet for urgent jobs overseas, but otherwise use normal long-distance transport methods. They train in an ordinary work out space, nicknamed 'The Danger Gym', situated in [[The Brownstone| the brownstone they live in]].

Details

Founded as an intelligence-gathering team in 2006, X-Force has traditionally taken on the jobs too ethically dodgy for the X-Men or X-Factor. Following Day Zero, the group went underground, cutting their ties with the mansion in order to keep it safe as they became more proactive - and ruthless - in their attempts to prevent the weaponisation and exploitation of mutants. In 2008, they were involved in the assassinations of several Imperial Guard members following their ethnic cleansing of Tamil refugees, and appeared again in New Delhi for the overthrow of D. Ken Neramani as Prime Minister and the installation of his sister Lilandra in his place. X-Force again appeared in 2012, assisting the X-Men and other teams with the rescue of their abducted students, and again participated in the overthrow of a government.

Following M-Day, the members of X-Force returned to the mansion, aware that their skills were needed closer to home in order to maintain the mansion as a sanctuary and to teach the younger generation of mutants how to take care of themselves, and those close to them.

In December 2021, Snow Valley relocated to a building in District X. The building had originally been targeted for a gentifying condo development, so Emma bought it and had it renovated to make it fit the team. The ground floor is a bodega and deli shop, while the top two floors act as office space for the team. There are a couple of guest suites, and several rooms in the back of the top floor were commandeered by Topaz for the relocation of magical items from Avalon. The basement has access doors into NYC's underground and the Morlock Tunnels.
