Weapon X-Men by Joe Casey

Wolverine, Deadpool, Cable, Chamber, and Thunderbird come together to form the most ruthless team of mutant anti-heroes the Marvel Universe has ever seen!

When a high-stakes mutant-rescue mission from the ultimate global hot spot exposes the true enemy -- possibly from within -- the members of an all-new team of all-action icons suddenly find themselves forged in fire. And the official membership policy is...no mercy allowed! But they’ll face a trial by fire when Baron Strucker and his new super-army set out to conquer the world! The threats only get bigger from there -- and we mean big! Because when New York City finds itself under siege from the titanic technological terror known as Red Ronin -- built to take on giant monsters to the death -- the only heroes who stand in its way are the Weapon X-Men! But will they be able to work together without tearing each other apart first? And which member has already gone AWOL?
