O-Force

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The O-Force is a superhuman mutant team in the Marvel Comics Universe. Their first appearance was in X-Statix #1.

The team was said to be created for a reality television show where mutants compete for a place in the O-Force team. Three of the trainees(Oracle, Oink and Orifice) were only pictured in a single panel and did not later appear with the team.

The O-Force television show airs with the mutants being Overkill, Orchid, Optoman, and Ozone. Later, as the team is assembled, a video is shown across the nation of a practice mission. O-Force begins its first mission to rescue a bunch of actors from a gang of kidnappers.

O-Force's agent, Solomon O'Sullivan, announces on television that O-Force's next mission will be to take back a small town from the control of a reality-altering mutant named Arnie Lundberg. As Solomon briefs his team, the Orphan breaks in and is attacked by the team, as he tries to warn them. The team decides to go anyway and when they arrive, Ocean's legs are blown off and the team is attacked by an army of the undead, raised by Arnie until the Orphan parachutes to their rescue. Ocean begs Overkill to help and runs away. The Orphan saves Ocean from the zombies and promises to return for her. The rest of X-Statix arrives and battles the zombies, saving O-Force from certain doom. Arnie Lundberg decides to use his powers for good and heals Ocean's legs and the team is carted off by the ambulances.
