supervillain
group, primarily enemies of X-Force
. Created by writer Louise Simonson

. They also fought the second incarnation of X-Factor
, and were eventually defeated by the X-Men
during the X-Cutioner's Song
. A second incarnation was assembled later by a villain known as Reignfire
.
The team seemed mainly organized of disillusioned, anarchic mutant
youths. Stryfe founded the group sometime after coming to the 20th century (from roughly 2,000 years in the future). They were likely assembled as a tool while Stryfe assembled his master plan which he executed in the X-Cutioner's Song
storyline. The exact size of the organization is unknown, but they were seen to have had several advanced bases around the world, and employed a number of presumably human guards.

, and the team was his creation (with Louise Simonson
). Their first mission was to rescue Rusty

Rusty and Skids would not be seen for some time later, but when they were it was revealed that they stayed with the group due to mind control devices Stryfe implanted in them. It was never indicated that any of the others members had similar implants.
After the organization was dismantled in the X-Cutioner's Song, four of the imprisoned members (Wildside, Reaper, Forearm and Tempo) were liberated and recruited by a mysterious villain named Reignfire, who was believed to be a futuristic version of Sunspot
. Already among the ranks of the new MLF were former New Mutant
member Dani Moonstar (undercover on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D.
) and Locus. X-Force's Feral also defected to the MLF, and Tempo betrayed them and went her own way. After a few minor missions, including a group that infiltrated Muir Island
