Hey! Welcome!
If you're just getting here, this thread is a transfer of the original conversation we stared over here––––>X-FORCE-by-Geoffrey-Thorne-and-Marcus-To
We'll be talking about X-Force (DUH) and I will provide any insights I can to the book, the characters, my notions about this version of the team any anything else that might come up, so long as it isn't a SPOILER.
Please do not pitch me story ideas as that will make me close the thread. I can't read them and, if I'm already doing something similar, you'll get upset if you think I "stole" it. NO PITCHING.
Be polite. Standard internet mudslinging will not be tolerated. We're here to have the fun so have it or beat it.
THIS X-Force is not a continuation of the previous X-Force or any other previous team. We are doing our own thing with a new leader and a new mission. We will not be bringing up any old plot lines or threads from 1994 or closing off dangling plot lines left behind by other folks. This is something all-new and all-different.
Our permanent cast is
FORGE - team leader and mission creator.
SAGE – Human quantum computer (and all that implies)
CAPTAIN BRITAIN – Lady Elizabeth Braddock, mutant telepath with some extra juice, doing time in the 616 dimension with her new paramour...
ASKANI - ridiculously powerful telepath/telekine who once hosted the Phoenix.
SURGE– Electricity channelling speedster with a massive hero complex (but she's got good reasons)
and TANK who is, unshockingly, the team's TANK
The fall of Krakoa had sweeping effects across all mutantkind but not EVERYONE is in run and hide or regroup mode. Forge had a vision– the world's broken, fractured like a shattering mirror and he's got limited time and resources to fix it before it all comes tumbling down. His solution? X-Force.
Forge's team will be EXTREMELY mobile, roaming the world from trouble-spot to trouble-spot, shutting down what needs shutting down by any means necessary. Past alliances mean nothing. Borders mean nothing. Friendships mean nothing. All that matters is the mission. Save the world.
We're putting the pedal down in issue #1 and it's not coming back up.
Welcome to X-Force. We are GO!
