Team X featured in the ''[[X-Men: The Animated Series|X-Men]]'' of the mid-1990s in an episode called "Weapon X, Lies & Video Tape". In this episode, Wolverine, as do all the original members, had several flashbacks and returned to a [[Weapon X]] facility in [[Canada]]. The other team members are Sabretooth, Silver Fox, and [[David North (comics)|Maverick]]. They recalled their previous missions and their battles with [[Omega Red]], but also they realized that much of these memories were implanted into them by the Weapon X scientists. They were brought there to die at the hands of a Weapon X robot called Thalos. Thalos fails, but only because the team works together again to destroy the Weapon X countermeasure.

After everyone save for Creed and Zero question Stryker's morality and leave, Stryker, Creed, and Zero set about killing the dissenters and turning Wilson into Weapon XI, with Logan killing Zero.

In ''[[X-Men Origins: Wolverine]]'', the team is led by Major [[William Stryker]], and consists of [[Wolverine (character)|James Howlett]], [[Sabretooth (comics)|Victor Creed]], [[Deadpool|Wade Wilson]], [[Blob (comics)|Frederick Dukes]], [[Kestrel (Marvel Comics)|John Wraith]], [[Chris Bradley]], and [[David North (comics)|Agent Zero]]. During one mission, while trying to find a mineral used to create [[adamantium]], Stryker orders the team to massacre an entire village. Howlett/Wolverine stops it, and leaves the group. After his departure, other team-members begin to question the team's morality and begin to leave until only Victor/Sabretooth and Agent Zero remain faithful to Stryker. During the events of the film, multiple members of the team are killed off by Logan or Victor. Bradley is easily killed by Creed early in the film, Agent Zero was killed by Wolverine, Wraith was killed by Sabretooth after he helped Wolverine find Stryker, and it is implied that Wade/Deadpool (Weapon XI) is killed (although the after-credit scene shows a still living decapitated Deadpool). In ''[[X2 (film)|X2]]'', Stryker is killed. By the end of ''[[X-Men Origins: Wolverine]]'', Wolverine and Victor are confirmed to be alive, while it is implied Deadpool may still be alive as well. The fate of Dukes is left unconfirmed, but it is implied that he was killed by Victor. In a deleted scene, Victor had subdued him and interrogated him.
