Get ready to lock and load with the most extreme mutant team of the 90s! This week, we're diving into the high-octane world of X-Force. From their origins as the New Mutants to their transformation under the leadership of the time-traveling soldier Cable, we'll explore how this team changed the face of X-comics forever. We'll discuss the creation of fan-favorite characters like Deadpool, who made his debut as an X-Force antagonist, examine Rob Liefeld's distinctive art style, and unpack the team's proactive approach to mutant rights. Whether you're a longtime X-Force fan or just curious about this influential period in comic book history, this episode is packed with more pouches, big guns, and gritted teeth than you can shake a techno-organic virus at!
