Force-X are adorable

And a little bit lame. (What? It had to be said!)

So, okay, you may be asking, "Who the Hell are Force-X?" and I don't blame you. For starters, they're nothing whatever to do with X-Force.

No, instead they are a teenage band of superheroes-in-training, assembled and trained by Dame Emma Frost (she's a knight), a charismatic wheelchair-bound telepath who must have a very busy schedule. She's the headmistress of Frost's School for Gifted Youngsters (which, like her core reality's Massachusetts school, has a full student body primarily composed of intelligent, talented human students). She's also the head of Department X, which seems to be the organization for directing the British Empire's super-powered agents.

Yes, the school is in New York. Yes, that's a part of the capitol of the British Empire. ( This is a world of Empires. )

So, back to Force-X, "the crown's clandestine super-being action team". *snerk* First of all, I will never not be amused by superheroes planning their attack over milk and cookies next to a roaring fire, whilst dressed in school uniforms that include plaid skirts on the girls. X3 SO. ADORABLE.

( Here's our line-up )

Now, I'm not going to give you a play-by-play of the fighting, especially as there's a lot of it. However, I am going to say I'm impressed that Bobby can freeze the entire harbor. The kids are cute, and earnest, and some of them have interesting costumes. Seems like a pretty cool world.

There were also some other super-being around, working for the French, some of whom had pretty familiar powers attached to different names. ( bad guys: a list )

In other news, Morph continues to be delightful (he disguised himself as a cricket poster of himself!) and I continue to be fascinated by Mystiq. *snugs him* Apparently there's also an awesome good guy Sabretooth in these books. >_>

Someone should probably stop me before I commit scads of fanfic and generate way too much fanon... >_>
