Fictional Team Biography
The Underground was a resistance group created by Cable, then known as Soldier X, founded to investigate the connection between disappearing mutants, the mysterious Neverland concentration camp and the government organisation Weapon X. Using his many contacts, Soldier X had gathered a large group of volunteers to gather information and a small group of mutant operatives (mostly former X-force-members) to fight against Weapon X's agents. Soldier X gathered former members of X-Force Domino and Meltdown, as well as his mentor Blaquesmith, and the new Maverick.
The Underground captured former mutant terrorists Reaper and Wildside and after telepathic interrogation, they found out that the two had been acting under orders from Weapon X to increase anti-mutant sentiment. However, Cable's waning powers combined with the mental blocks installed by Weapon X fried the brains of the Wildside and Reaper.
The Underground planned action against Weapon X and found support from an unexpected direction; Weapon X agent Brent Jackson offered the help of several agents. Agent Washout sacrificed himself so that the Underground could enter Weapon X's base and in the resulting fight between the Underground and Weapon X, the Weapon X Director Malcolm Colcord fled with Madison Jeffries. Brent Jackson then turned on the Underground and activated Weapon X's computers to disable the brains of the Underground members. Jackson didn't count on Agent Marrow to abduct the Underground members though. Marrow told the brainwashed Underground members that together they had defeated Weapon X. Most of the Underground went their own way afterwards and Marrow took control of what was left of the organzsation, forging it into a new Gene Nation.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional, team and/or biography:
“One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“Relying on any one disciplinary approach—time-out, negotiation, tough love, the star system—puts the parenting team at risk. Why? Because children adapt to any method very quickly; today’s effective technique becomes tomorrow’s worn dance.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“As we approached the log house,... the projecting ends of the logs lapping over each other irregularly several feet at the corners gave it a very rich and picturesque look, far removed from the meanness of weather-boards. It was a very spacious, low building, about eighty feet long, with many large apartments ... a style of architecture not described by Vitruvius, I suspect, though possibly hinted at in the biography of Orpheus.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
