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:
“It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.... This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.”
—Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
“Imagination is a valuable asset in business and she has a sister, Understanding, who also serves. Together they make a splendid team and business problems dissolve and the impossible is accomplished by their ministrations.... Imagination concerning the world’s wants and the individual’s needs should be the Alpha and Omega of self-education.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
“Just how difficult it is to write biography can be reckoned by anybody who sits down and considers just how many people know the real truth about his or her love affairs.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
