X-Force #1 (2019), written by Benjamin Percy, launches a new, covert intelligence and black ops division for the mutant nation of Krakoa. The issue begins with a devastating attack that results in a major security breach and a significant death, showing that Krakoa is not safe from outside threats. 

The comic's plot points include:

  • The assassination attempt: A group of masked human terrorists infiltrate Krakoa and attempt to assassinate its leaders. While Jean Grey and Beast are present, the attack kills Professor Charles Xavier.

  • The formation of X-Force: This event prompts the formation of a two-pronged X-Force. Half of the team, composed of Beast, Jean Grey, and Sage, acts as an intelligence branch. The other half, consisting of Wolverine, Kid Omega, and Domino, functions as a special ops squad to carry out covert missions.

  • Domino's mission: An early mission for the special ops group involves Domino investigating a facility in South America. The issue ends with a cliffhanger as Domino is captured by the very same forces that attacked Krakoa.

  • The resurrection protocols: The narrative explores the ethics and consequences of Krakoa's resurrection protocols. While the death of Professor X is shocking, the protocols allow for his immediate resurrection, raising questions about what death means for mutants in this new era.
