X-23 thought it was a bluff and attacked anyway, by detonating explosive charges that she had placed and armed off panel. Complications arose when that same group captured Wolfsbane, prior to their arrival, and threatened to shoot her. Their first mission, after the events of the Messiah Complex, was to infiltrate a SHIELD facility, where a group of Purifiers have stolen valuable technology needed to resurrect a Sentinel named Bastion. Wolverine did not press the issue, believing that they had the right to choose their own destiny.

Wolverine did not want X-23 or Warpath involved, but they refuse to leave when given the opportunity. However, after the death of Caliban and injury of Hepzibah, it was believed that X-Force was disbanded.Д«ut in the aftermath of Messiah Complex, Cyclops reassembled them once again. They also participated in the final battle against the Marauders on Muir Island. Their first mission was to track Cable and the newly discovered Baby Mutant, before the Purifiers, Marauders Reavers and Predator X could get them first. The new team is made out of Wolverine as team leader, X-23, Warpath, Wolfsbane, Caliban and Hepzibah. In the middle of the Messiah CompleX storyline, Cyclops assembled a new X-Force, which consist of the X-Men's best trackers. Several former members went on to join Xavier's X-corporation. X-Force apparently disbanded shortly after the new team that would eventually be known as the X-Statix swiped their name without permission. X-Force recruited Pete Wisdom to train them for a time. X-Force continued its status as an outlaw band of mutants, dodging both their enemies and the government agents of Operation: Zero Tolerance.

X-Force's members were taken prisoner and locked up in the X-Men's Danger Room for a time. A fight ensued, but it was only when the X-Men joined in that X-Force was defeated. Assuming Cable was the assassin, X-Factor hunted for X-Force. When Cable's clone Stryfe made an assassination attempt on Professor Charles Xavier, the assassin seemed to be Cable. Siryn and Spider-Man aided the team when Black Tom and the Juggernaut attempted to bomb the World Trade Center in New York.

Cable's basic philosophy, which he related to his team, was 'Get them before they get you.' X-Force was involved in attacks on mutants such as the Mutant Liberation Front, and was itself branded early in its career as a group of terrorists. Where the other X-teams believed in protecting humans from evil mutants, X-Force adopted a proactive attitude towards mutant terrorists.

The real Domino joined the group after she was rescued). After most of the New Mutants went their separate ways, Cable reorganized the team, which originally consisted of the mutants Cannonball, Boom-Boom (later renamed as Meltdown), Warpath (now known as Proudstar), Shatterstar, Feral, and 'Domino' (It was later revealed that 'Domino' was actually a shapeshifter named Copycat. X-Force was created from the team known as the New Mutants by the half-cyborg mutant known as Cable. Despite this the team has featured some X-Men members over the years most notably Wolverine, X-23, Archangel, Psylocke, Warpath, the Age of Apocalypse version of Nightcrawler, and even Storm. X-Force differs from the main X-Men as unlike their more heroic counterparts, X-Force are anti-heroes in nature and are more militant, aggressive, and lethal. X-Force is a team of mutants that deals with covert black-ops missions against all kinds of threats whether they be mutant terrorists to anti-mutant groups.
