During World War II some time before Steve Rogers became Captain America the world had another defender, the X-Force a team made up of the military's greatest men including Alexi Shostakov aka Red Guardian, James Bucanan Barnes aka Bucky, James Logan Howlett aka Wolverine, Wade Wilson aka Deadpool, and Victor Creed aka Sabretooth. Although mutants are common no one would have guessed that Logan, Wade, and Victor were all mutants. Throughout the movie the team would go on missions no one else could but when Steve Rogers became the new face of America the government stopped sending the X-Force on missions. After Bucky left to fight alongside Captain America the team started to dislike each other leading to Victor leaving the military. After that the military decided to send the team on a couple more missions with two new men including a cyborg named Jim Hammond aka the Human Torch and Eric Wayne aka the Reaper. The Reaper would go on to betray them and work for Hydra while Jim Hammond would be a part of the mission on which Bucky died. The team would mourn Bucky and the government would shut the X-Force down.
