X-Force Movie: 10 Mutants That Must Be Included

1. Fantomex

Fantomex X-Force
Marvel Comics

Fantomex is just about the best X-Force member ever, really.

Born from the same programme that previously created both Wolverine and Deadpool, Fantomex was created using nanotechnology to become a mutant hunter. While he suffered a somewhat artificial upbringing, the character has plenty of substance to back him up, being a Grant Morrison creation and all.

Despite being proficient in just about every form of combat out there, Fantomex also has the ability to misdirect and confuse his opponents, giving him a massive edge in combat. He also possesses an external nervous system which, when severed, renders him completely impervious to pain. The fact he has three brains also effectively gives him three lives, so - like Wolverine - he's a hard one to kill.

There's also the fact that Fantomex is very much out for himself in most circumstances, which has caused plenty of issues during his time with the X-Men. If he is included in the film (and we surely hope is), then sparks are going to fly in a whole manner of ways.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
