- In part 1, Stryfe shot Professor X, and identified himself as Cable.
- That _really_ ticked off the X-People (and most of X-Force).

-
- Because X-Force is wanted by SHIELD for some stupid reason that drove
- a plot device.

- If SHIELD considers you a criminal, you are one. That caused a _lot_
- of problems for Rogue between UXM 182 and 185. It's all Cable's fault, so
- let's be glad he's gone, and hope he doesn't return to the pages of
- X-anything for a long time.
- And the X-Men were considered outlaws and publicly ridiculed for a
- LONG time. It was their deaths in the Fall of the Mutants that started
- changing peoples' minds, not their "good-guy" act. Since then, people have
- been a lot more tolerant of mutants.
- And yes, the X-Men would ignore X-Force's side... they aren't allies,
- they're just people who happen to be mutants and share the letter X.
-
- >Which brings me to another point. What gives the X-Men the right to

-
- The involvement of SHIELD and Val Cooper gives them the right. Prof.
- X promised Val that he would detain X-Force. I think that's in the new issue
- of X-Men...
