X-Force #1 Advanced Spoilers

Spoilers: Forge has been running simulations and studying old X-Men battles when he's alerted by Maahe—his robot assistant—that the components are complete. Forge has been working on Project McCoy, named and inspired by Beast's work. He tests his new device with Maahe’s assistance, and the test is a success. Forge then creates the 'Analogue,' a sphere that predicts fracture points, times, and locations around the world where crises might occur if nothing is done. Forge moves on to the next phase: recruiting Sage.

Sage is currently in a Swiss clinic, hospitalized due to mental distress from feeling like a failure after Krakoa's fall. Forge visits her and explains the Analogue and how it represents the world's fractures.

Forge and Sage then head to England, Essex, to Braddock Manor, where they plan to recruit Betsy and Rachel. Forge explains how the Analogue works and how they can seal the fractures before they break apart. Betsy thinks the project has merit but prefers to stay out of action for a while. Rachel disagrees, and reluctantly, Betsy joins X-Force with Rachel by her side. A few days later, Forge meets with Deadpool and hires him for just one gig.

Days later, Forge and Sage head to Sorachi-Shi, the first fracture, aboard the Blackbird. Sage notes that satellite images show the city is completely empty. Betsy and Rachel join them. Forge forbids psychic communication, so they can only use comms. Betsy picks up on some human psychic energy, but they can't find anyone due to interference. X-Force can only see evidence of a battle at the scene.

When Sage opens a warehouse door, Surge attacks them. Realizing they are friends from the Institute, Surge explains that a type of sludge biomass suddenly appeared and began attacking all living things. The biomass consumes its victims entirely upon contact. Surge says she was protecting some civilians. The biomass creatures surround X-Force, and Forge calls in Tank and Deadpool. Betsy gets nervous at the mention of Deadpool. Tank and Deadpool start fighting the biomass creatures.

Rachel struggles to lift her telekinetic shields alone to protect the civilians and asks for help. Betsy gives Rachel a psychic boost (using her butterfly), allowing Rachel to throw the biomass creatures away.

Sage determines that the creatures are heading east, and Betsy and Rachel use their telepathy to direct the civilians to safety. The creatures form a massive kaiju that attacks Betsy psychically, overwhelming her with waves of hunger. Rachel angrily attacks the kaiju with all her strength, but it has no effect.

Sage discovers that the biomass is the work of a subsidiary of Essex Holding Corp run by Mr. Sinister. It’s an organic weapon, a hybrid of mutant genes and alien biomass that escaped containment. Forge tells the girls to retreat and instructs Tank to do a fastball special with Deadpool into the kaiju’s mouth. Deadpool’s cancer solves the fracture, as the creature’s biomass needs to grow. The cancer regenerates Deadpool until the creature starves to death. Forge recruits Surge, and X-Force heads to the second fracture point: Wakanda.
