Let's go back to the events of Messiah CompleX. You're thrown into the lead X-Man's role and it's your duty to protect the mutant race. It's a time of war, and you deem it necessarily to create a black ops team to take out specific targets. You know Wolverine is going to lead the fatal and hidden squad, but you're now left with four more spots to fill. Who during that time period would you reach out to to join the team and why? Do you think they'd all accept a spot on the team, or would some reject the offer?

Well the one girl that would have most likely have said no said yes (Wolfsbane) so I do not think anyone would have turned down his request.
That said, the initial line-up would have been Wolverine, X-23, Dust, Psylocke, Mystique, Colossus, Archangel and at least one powerful teleporter.

Oh wait, Psylocke was still with the Exiles at the time of Messiah Complex right?

That's 7 extra. For this thread it's just Wolverine and four others.

Well I actually read all X-Force. Kyle & Yost series. So I can pick.
Wolverine (Leader) Elixir Hellion Bullseye Taskmaster
Elixir and Hellion will accept when they met Logan. I'm sure Bullseye can be persuaded with the amazing of killing without being chased by the X-Men. Hope Taskmaster will join.

X-23, Colossus, Archangel, Mystique.
Vanisher was never really part of the team so I am sticking him on as the vehicle.

The power dynamic on that team is good, but would you really want to have Dust and Colossus on a black ops team? They're not exactly the types who are willing to kill/torture/do-whatever-is-necessary to get the job done.

Just fyi, Mystique was siding with the opposing forces during Messiah CompleX, so why would she agree to go with the X-Men?

They're not exactly the types who are willing to kill/torture/do-whatever-is-necessary to get the job done. Colossus would keep them grounded so they do not get lost in their bloodlust. But Colossus is willing to kill and he has several times. I kind of liken his behavior to something like Wolfsbane and/or Warpath. It would get to him but he would do the job and worry about the nightmares later. Dust does everything Cyclops asks for and we know she is okay with killing.

Mystique will change alliegances at the drop of a hat if she's given good enough persuasion, and her motives very often involve her affection for Rogue. I think Cyclops could get Rogue to convince Mystique to join the team. The perks would be getting to kill lots of people, not having X-Men trying to hunt her down all the time, and being able to maintain a connection with her foster daughter.

Rogue was incapacitated during the event, so I don't see that as being too likely. lol

I threw Peter Wisdom in there partially because he makes a good addition to the team's power dynamic and because of the skills and connections he would have picked up from Black Air and British Intelligence, but mostly because he's an interesting guy who has been in character limbo far too long.

He was cool in captain Britains last series.
