The series wrestled with the identity of the name "X-Force." For years, the name meant "Cyclops’ secret death squad." This run pivoted the team toward being "The Chaos Brigade"—mutants willing to get their hands dirty so the main X-Men teams didn't have to. It bridged the gap between the black-ops era (Uncanny X-Force) and the military era that would eventually appear in the Krakoa era (X-Force Vol. 7).

The 2018 era of X-Force served as a bridge. It moved the characters away from the "superhero" tropes of the mid-2010s and prepared them for the radical shift into the that would follow in 2019 under Jonathan Hickman.

In the comics, X-Force has had several incarnations, but one of the most well-known teams was formed by Cable. This team was initially assembled to take down the villainous organization known as the Mutant Massacre's masterminds, the Marauders. The original team consisted of Cable, Domino, Wolverine, Deadpool, and several others.

The 2018 film "Deadpool 2" features a team called X-Force, which is a more in-depth exploration of the concept initially teased in the first Deadpool movie. The idea of X-Force was originally introduced as a team of mutants assembled by Cable (Nathan Summers) to travel through time and prevent the assassination attempt on his family. However, the actual formation and storyline of X-Force in Deadpool 2 diverge significantly from the comic book origins and initial teases.
The central narrative engine was the friction between the young Cable and the rest of the team. Wolverine and Domino were used to leading or working autonomously.
