The New X-Force (Again)

The cast of X-Force: Warpath, X-23, Wolverine and Wolfsbane. Other members not pictured: Archangel, Domino, Vanisher and Elixir.

The new X-Force that was launched in 2007 by the eXtremely talented artist Clayton Crain, writers Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost, was simply breathtaking. Marvel release a teaser of the new cast of this team appearing July. While I will miss every single person from the last book and it's cast I'm hopeful that the new direction and art will equally entertaining or at least half that amount.

The newerer X-Force. Can you guess who they are?

Since I first saw this image I immediately recognised Angel (above) and Fantomex (to the right). Although the person on top could be somebody else with an extremely large cape (I really doubt it). The other two had me thinking Psylocke (extreme left) and Gambit (center). The middle one is tricky because the character has something looking like a shield blotted out. My second choice neXt to Gambit would be Nightcrawler because he's the only other person that would use a sword. I had fun with this one and if I only get one right then that would mean Marvel is doing much better at surprising me with these teasers.
