    X-Force

    Team » X-Force appears in 1999 issues.

    When Cable reformed the New Mutants, he made them his soldiers. They became a mutant "black ops" team, assigned to kill not just the enemies of the X-Men, but of all mutantkind. Although this team eventually disbanded, the X-Force moniker has persisted in successive iterations of more and more aggressive X-teams.

    So is Fantomex the new field leader of X-Force since Wolverine's the Headmaster of the Jean Grey Institute? Also are Psylocke & Kurt the team's recon & stealth division? Are Deathlok & Ultimaton the team's technological division? That'd make Wolverine, Deadpool, & Fantomex the frontline of the team?

    They've never really broke down the team into roles, but both Deadpool and Psylocke have done some reconnaissance. Psylocke's being astral reconnaissance. Fantomex usually steps up as an unwilling leader when Wolverine is otherwise occupied. Deathlok and Ultimaton have taken a more backseat role, Deathlok having guarded Cavern- X while Ultimaton was busy with Genesis. Kurt hasn't been around long enough, and therefore hasn't done anything, but he has an agenda of his own that he explains in UXF #19.

    I can't believe AoA kurt being just recon or stealth he's gonna be doing some aggressive killing lol

    Psylocke is stealth, recon mainly

    Fantomex is backup leader and does strategy

    Deadpool is pretty much deadpool lol

    Deathlok seldomly gets involved he's kind of just back up but does security for cavern x

    Ultimaton i can't see having a real team role he's fatomex's pet

    So Deathlok is basically just a guard for X-cavern & is Ultimaton actually on the team they showed him standing Logan & the others when Wolverine announced they were on-call campus police & I guess thats the roster they're going with.

    They don't have roles. Psylocke does reconnisance but they don't have pre-defined roles other than Wolverine being the leader, if he still is, which is possible.

    No duh they don't have "pre-defined roles". I meant based off what we've seen them do so far how does there areas of expertise factor into the team. Like Ultimaton will probably be a heavy hitter seeing as how he took down Deathlok Fantomex with 1 blow. We've also know Deathlok is the tech expert/guard & Fantomex is now the team's official co-leader since Archangel's demise

    They don't have roles. Period. They have a leader and that's it.
