Conceived by writer/illustrator Rob Liefeld, the team was formed in (April 1991) and soon afterwards was featured in its own series. The group was a new incarnation of the 1980s team, the New Mutants. Led by the mutant Cable, X-Force was more militant and aggressive than the X-Men.

X-Force (vol. 1) was cancelled with issue #129 and relaunched as , which featured the later incarnation of the team. After X-Statix was cancelled with #26, Marvel reunited the original X-Force team for a six-issue 2004 miniseries.
