She delights at the opportunity for revenge on this mission. They are the reason she is not in her original body.
The story centers on her rage at what was done to her by the Reavers. This mission pits the team against Lady Deathstrike and the Reavers, placing the Reavers in the sights of Psylocke. It is, at times, hard to read, but I couldn't look away. Uncanny X-Force #5.1 takes an intense look at Psylocke. (Image credit: Rafael Albuquerque/Dean White (Marvel Comics)) He expands upon Psylocke, Wolverine, and Archangel respectively, adding depth to already well-defined characters and to the overall story. With this in mind, Remender segues into 'The Dark Angel Saga' with a few one-shot stories, each worthy of mention. Deathlok actively chooses to be 'good' or 'evil' as the missions call for it.

The character moves between the two sides as is necessary punctuating the notion of free will as well as being a poster child of Utilitarianism.

Deathlok's affinity for free will keeps the kinder AI consciousness at the forefront, but the evil part of his brain still exists. To be one of the cyborgs is to be enslaved as they are part of a collective consciousness. While the flesh part of Deathlok is a merciless killer, the cyborg artificial intelligence within him evolves to discover the inherent evil of enslavement. The character reads as an examination of ethics in evolution. The cyborg known as Deathlok is an anomaly that attempts to save Fantomex, and in doing so becomes a part of the team. Paired with Matthew Wilson on color duties, the two make for a nice consistency of high-quality illustration following Opeña and White. He creates phenomenal action sequences as a cyborg Hawkeye, Spider-Man, and Captain America are in hot pursuit of Fantomex over snow-covered mountains.
His sequential art is clean and detailed. These are not evil people.Ĭover artist extraordinaire Esad Ribic takes on interior art duties for this arc. The ethics of their actions melt away into how they each carry the burden within themselves. Here is where we see that they are human. As they confront this together, here is where Remender draws you in. In this meeting, Wolverine aggressively rationalizes their choice and projects the anger at himself out onto his team. Deadpool has the kind of guilt that prompted him to call a meeting of the entire team so he can cope out loud. With the consequences of Fantomex's actions immediately rolling in in the second arc, 'Deathlok Nation,' deep remorse reverberates through the team. (Image credit: Jerome Opena/Dean White (Marvel Comics)) This is the first of many instances where the relativity of ethics is played like a drum by Remender. This young boy is being bred by Clan Akkaba to bring humanity on this Earth to extinction, but it is Wolverine and his band of merry executioners that are perceived as "bad" by the boy.
"Will there always be bad people trying to kill me?," a young but not-quite-indoctrinated Apocalypse asks. But when your mission is assassination then who really is? Remender's ever-engaging balancing act shows just how fluid the answer to that question is. Whoever you are rooting for may or may not be wearing a white hat. It is always a matter of life or death, kill or be killed. The stakes are extremely high in Uncanny X-Force. From battling the Horsemen of Apocalypse to Wolverine's pain of failing as a father or Betsy cowering in a corner with a fragmented psyche to Wolverine viciously stabbing Creed for the umpteenth time Remender moves from the action and violence to the motives of the characters like breathing. But the real magic is in the impeccable pacing Remender employs throughout the entire series.
