Team X is a fictional black ops team in the Marvel Universe.

Comics

In the Marvel Universe, Team X was a CIA black ops team that operated during the 1960s and was linked to Weapon Plus. It was made up of Logan, Victor Creed, Maverick, Kestrel, Mastodon, and Silver Fox. Team X was apparently disbanded after a botched mission concerning Omega Red, though its members were captured and used as test subjects by the Weapon X Project. Omega Red has conflicted with Team X during a mission to get the Carbonadium Synthesizer to help neutralize his death factor and stabilize his body. That happened when Sabertooth and Omega Red clashed.

Other Media

Television

Team X featured in the X-Men: Animated series of the mid 1990's in an episode called Weapon X, Lies & Video Tape. In this episode Wolverine has flash backs, as do all the original members, and return to Canada's Weapon X facility. The other team members are Sabretooth, Silver Fox & Maverick. They recall missions and there battle with Omega Red but also they realize that much of these memories where implanted into them by the Weapon X scientists. They where brought there to die at the hands of an ancient Weapon X robot called Thalos. Thalos fails but only because the team worked together again to destroy the Weaon X counter measure.

It is a prequel to the X-Men film trilogy, focusing on the mutant Wolverine and his time with Team X, before Wolverine's skeleton was bonded with the indestructible metal adamantium.[1] The team consists of Wolverine, Sabretooth, Deadpool, Silver Fox, Agent Zero, Kestrel, and Blob
