Siryn becomes a core member of X-Force and was even appointed field leader. She can also use the vibrations from her screams to fly. Like her father, she possesses the ability to release a sonic scream capable of decimating her opponent. Siryn is the daughter of Banshee, an Irish mutant and member of the X-Men. Liefeld has gone on record to say he disliked this change to the character's sexuality, but David has backed up the bisexual claims stating that Shatterstar is, in fact, bisexual and polyamorous. Shatterstar was initially introduced by Rob Liefeld as asexual, but Peter David – the writer of the character during a stint in X-Factor – created a bisexual subtext to Shatterstar, who became attracted to his best friend, Rictor. He also can create powerful vibrations that he channels through his swords. Shatterstar's powers are overall superhuman physical and mental strength along with super senses, speed, reflexes, agility, flexibility, stamina, and intelligence. So Shatterstar is an alien from the future whose home is called Mojoworld, which is ruled by an otherworldly tyrant named, you guessed right, Mojo. Shatterstar (AKA Gaveedra-Seven.or maybe Benjamin Russell or maybe 's messy)
She can also produce marble-sized energy bombs, is proficient in hand-to-hand combat, and can mentally muffle the sounds of the explosions she creates. She can create small orbs of pure plasma, which she calls her "time bombs." These bombs explode with a sizeable concussive force, and Boom-Boom can control the timing of the explosions they create. Also, for a short time calls herself Boomer.īoom-Boom's powers are pretty.explosive. Although Boom-Boom isn't sure about X-Force's methods of justice, she sticks it out with the team. During her time with the X-Force, Boom-Boom and Cannonball formed a relationship. Tabitha was a member of the New Mutants as a guest star at first, but then later went on to join the team. Not only does she have one of my favorite superhero names, but Boom-Boom has some dope powers! But let's start from the beginning. Due to her probability based power, her reflexes and agility are superhuman to facilitate her "Good Luck."īoom-Boom (AKA Meltdown, AKA Tabitha Smith) But in order for the power to take effect, Domino must be involved in a situation in which she can affect the action taking place. She joined X-Force as Cable's second-in-command once Copycat was outed.ĭomino has the power of "Good Luck," but what does that mean? She's able to telekinetically initiate acts that affect probability in her favor by making it improbable or impossible for certain things to happen while in her line of sight, giving her "good luck" and her enemies "bad luck." This power is completely handled within her subconscious, and is constantly radiating from her body. Her mother broke her out of the facility and took her to a church in Chicago. Domino eventually left the church life and became a mercenary, and later founded the mercenary group Six Pack, which lead her to Cable. Domino, being the last survivor, was seen as a failed experiment due to her "Luck" power, which was viewed as a dismal result considering the project's goals. The real Domino is the result of a Weapon-X-style program (the top-secret experiment that created Wolverine) that focused on making the perfect weapon. But the real Domino finally appeared in March 1992 in X-Force Vol. She assumed Domino's form and role in the team. Okay, so the first Domino that appeared in the original X-Force was a shape-shifting mutant named Copycat. It's later revealed that the mutant abilities he inherited from his mother had faded into nothing due to lack of use. Anytime he would use them it would cause his Techno-Organic Virus to spread, making him reserve the use of these powers. When he first appeared, both of these abilities were hampered. At one point, the team moved to San Francisco.Ĭable was born with telepathic and telekinetic powers.
In the late '90s and early '00s, X-Force went through many changes. This lineup often fluctuated in the early days, but these are the core members of the team you should know about.Īfter Nicieza left the comic, other writers took the title in a different direction, including John Francis Moore, who wrote the team as a more carefree group trying to find themselves away from the watchful eyes of the X-Men and Cable. The original line-up was composed of many New Mutants along with some new faces: Cable, Shatterstar, Domino, Cannonball, Warpath, Boom-Boom, Feral, Rictor, Siryn, and sometimes Sunspot. Rob Liefeld plotted and drew the team for their first year before leaving to form Image Comics, while Fabian Nicieza wrote the team for over 40 issues. X-Force has a different approach to fighting enemies than the X-Men, with a violent and often militant approach to taking down the bad guys. They soon rebranded as X-Force when Cable became the leader of the team.
