In this first issue of the X-Force series (Cable, Domino-aka Copycat, Cannonball- aka Sam, Warpath, Feral, Boom Boom, and Shatterstar), the team is in antarctica where they attack the terrorist group, the Mutant Liberation Front. When the enter the building, Forearm, Kamikaze, Wildside and the Reaper attack. Then Stryfe (their king) begins to teleport his members to a safe place while also activating the self destruct sequence. Before the team can take him down, Stryfe gets away and then they are forced to leave before the place blows. Unfortunately, when SHEILD shows up at the crumbled site, they think the X-Force need to be taken down... In another base, Cable tells Cannonball that just one reason why he wants to take down Stryfe is because he killed a boy named Tyler that was like a son to Cable.

Meanwhile, Gideon is training Roberto. Then they go to a meeting at the World Trade Center where Black Tom shows up as a woman's bodyguard to prevent the board from forcing her to sell her share of the company.
