Shatterstar slices off Reaper's hand, but decides not to kill him. Cable and a now stronger Warpath fell Forearm. Feral breaks Wildside's jaw. Stryfe calls Cable "Nathan," then escapes with his team courtesy Zero and sets the base on self-destruct. Cable bodyslides his team out, too. In a Manhattan penthouse, Gideon trains Sunspot in hand-to-hand combat and corporate buyouts. Problem is, Jankos has allied with Black Tom to prevent the buyout, and he takes them hostage. Bridge investigates the Antarctica incident and determines to stop Cable. He calls on Weapon X of Canada's Dept. K. X-Force moves into Larry Trask's old Sentinel base in the Adirondacks (Uncanny X-Men 57). Cable takes time to bond with Sam, telling him of his adopted son Tyler, who joined the MLF and was killed (lies, all lies: see iss. 25). He also practices his TK, which he is still keeping a secret from the team. Note: Cable's files on Deadpool, Feral, Shatterstar, and Bridge follow.

Kane bests Wade (who teleports away), and GW shows up to ask Kane to help SHIELD capture Cable, with whom he has past history, but he refuses. In the Adriondacks, Cable trains the team by having them play tag with Feral. Boom Boom has new wrist launchers, and Sam is able to blast silently. Feral attacks each member of the team viciously, and when Sam gets between her and Shatterstar to stop them fighting, she guts him. Jankos activates an interdimensional locator and brings the Juggernaut to Manhattan. Issue: X-Force 3 Date: Oct-91 Story: Battlecry (22 pages) Feature Characters: Cable, Cannonball, Boom Boom, Feral, Warpath, Shatterstar, Domino/Copycat, Theresa Rourke Cassidy (Siryn) Regular Characters: Sunspot Guest Stars: Peter Parker (Spider-Man) Villains: Black Tom Cassidy, Cain Marko (Juggernaut); Gideon Other Characters: Credits: Writers: Rob Liefeld (plot), Fabian Nicieza (script) Pencils & Inks: Rob Liefeld Letters: Chris Eliopoulos Colors: Joe Rosas Editor: Bob Harras Editor-in-Chief: Tom DeFalco Synopsis: The executives who were trying to buy Jankos out have been held hostage for two days in the World Trade Center by Black Tom and Juggernaut. Siryn has flown in from Ireland to stop her foster-father, tries a frontal assault, and is beaten off. Cable (wearing Stryfish silver armor) arrives with X-Force, also planning a direct and violent solution, and Siryn joins them. Warpath jumps out of the X-Force scout ship and pulls Juggernaut off the roof; they continue to fight after hitting the ground. The rest take out the guards on the roof, and interrupt just after Gideon and Sunspot have unsuccessfully attacked Tom. Tom has rigged the building with plastique. Spider-Man swings by just as he detonates it. Issue: Spider-Man 16 Date: Nov-91 Story: Sabotage: Part 1 (22 pages) Feature Characters: Spider-Man (Peter Parker) Regular Characters: Guest Stars: Warpath, Shatterstar, Feral, Cannonball, Cable, Domino/Copycat, Siryn, Boom Boom, Sunspot Villains: Cain Marko (Juggernaut), Gideon Other Characters: Regular Characters: Deadpool, G.W.

Spider-Man notices an explosion at the twin towers and arrives to find Warpath, Feral, Shatterstar, and Cannonball attacking Juggernaut on the ground. Sam strikes first (doesn't budge him an inch), and Spider-man catches him on the rebound. In the wreckage of the top floor, Cable has the rest search for Black Tom. Gideon refuses to help and squabble with Cable. Spider-man realizes they can only try to slow Juggernaut down. He talks to him long enough to web his eyes, so James can push him over. Boom Boom arrives as the fight begins again. Shatterstar stabs Juggernaut's eyes, but they quickly (mystically) heal. He is angry now, and knocks over a building, but the heroes survive.

Spider-Man and most of the team continue to fight Juggernaut ineffectively until Domino shows up, and instructs Warpath to throw Shatterstar at him to slash him. Up in the ruined twin towers, Cable finds Tom, and instead of arresting him, shoots him and lets him drop down an elevator shaft. Lucky for him, Deadpool was waiting there to catch him and bring him to Tolliver. Shatterstar's magic swords were able to detach Juggernaut's helmet, and Siryn flies off with it. Cable is just about to shoot him, when Deadpool ports away with him. Bridge, who has been monitoring the whole thing, lands and tries to arrest Cable, so he bodyslides out with the team.
