X-MEN 97: SEASON TWO #3

THE FOUR HORSEMEN HAVE ARRIVED! X-Force has touched down in Madripoor to apprehend Pestilence, one of Apocalypse’s Four Horsemen. But when the battle culminates to reveal a much deeper threat, can Cable rally the team together to face the unimaginable? Or will they fall to Apocalypse’s looming shadow?

Cable and his X-Force are confronted by the Avengers who were sent out by the government to arrest them for their questionable acts. Jubilee and Black Widow are fighting and bantering at the same time. Black Widow notes that Jubilee may be well-trained in combat but she talks a lot. Meanwhile, Psylocke is fighting Hawkeye who remarks that his opponent (Psylocke) is too silent and ruthless in combat. Poor Sunspot is bearhugged by Hercules. Cable forces Captain America and the Avengers to stand down by threatening to blow up the mountain. As the Avengers stopped fighting, Captain America asks Jubilee why would she join such a ruthless group like X-Force. Jubilee replies that she would have agreed with him about being uncomfortable of their ruthless methods but because of the crap the mutants went through like Genosha Massacre and the government-sanctioned X-Factor imprisoning the mutant kids while the Avengers did nothing, someone has to do the tough stuff. She had little choice but to join X-Force because the X-Men went missing.
