In a bold move, Marvel from X-Men ’97 showed Forge leading a revamped X-Force to “fix” the unbreakable.
In the vast and ever-expanding Marvel Universe, there are heroes who see beyond the horizon, identifying problems that are invisible to all. Forge, the protagonist of X-Men 97, is one such hero. But what happens when the problem is the Marvel Universe itself? The answer lies at the heart of the new X-Force series, where a team led by Forge must not only face challenges, but also reshape the fate of their universe.
Forge and the Mission: Beyond Vision
Marvel has not backed down on its efforts to revive its comics line, shedding light on its plans to introduce “satellite” mutant books under the “X-Men: From the Ashes” reboot. Among them X-Force emerges with a promise: to make a difference. Under the direction of Geoffrey Thorne and with lines from Markus To, this series promises to take fans in a fight for a better future where genetic engineering and villains merge.
Forge recognizes a critical flaw in the fabric of reality that allows him to conceive tools and machines to meet insurmountable challenges. Armed with this vision, he set about assembling a group of change heroes determined to provide a solution, both solicited and unsolicited. But who are the heroes who will join this noble cause?
A versatile team for unprecedented challenges
The makeup of the new X-Force is as unique as its mission. The series promises a rotating cast that introduces specials as needed, highlighted by the appearance of Deadpool in the first issue. However, the core of the team is Rachel Summers and Betty Braddock, whose ongoing relationship adds depth to the narrative, along with Sage, Surge and Tank – the latter of whom has a mysterious connection to Ironheart’s Eve.
