Synopsis

"A Force to be Reckoned With"

X-Force goes on their first mission. They attack the MLF at their headquarters in Antarctica. X-Force gives the MLF a good beat-down, but they escape. Not before Stryfe sets the base to self-destruct. Meanwhile, Gideon expresses his pleasure with Sunspot’s progress in the business world. Bridge shows up to inspect the ruins of the old MLF headquarters. He finds evidence that Cable was there. Back at X-Force’s headquarters Sam and Cable have a discussion about the previous battle. Domino comes in and we learn that there’s more to Cable then meets the eye. In New York Gideon and Roberto thought they were going to a normal business merger, but instead are met by Black Tom. Nick Fury and Bridge talk about the Cable situation. Bridge makes the call to bring in a dangerous man, Weapon X, to take Cable down.
