Cable's basic philosophy, which he related to his team, was "Get them before they get you". Where the other X-teams believed in protecting humans from evil mutants, X-Force adopted a proactive attitude towards mutant terrorists. After most of the New Mutants went their separate ways, Cable reorganized the team, which originally consisted of the Cannonball, Boom-Boom, Warpath, Shatterstar, Feral, and Domino (Later revealed to actually be the shapeshifter, Copycat). X-Force was born from the team known as the New Mutants and created by the mutant known as Cable. We do, however, appreciate the addition of the Roman numerals to make it look extra futuristic, with the acknowledgement that the average American’s understanding of Roman numerals only goes as high as the current year’s Super Bowl.Formerly Acolytes, Apocalypse, Arcade, Argos, Arianna Jankos, Armaggedon Man, Bantam, Baron Strucker, Blackheart, Black Tom Cassidy, Blob, Brotherhood, Code: Blue, Corben, Crule, Damocles Foundation, Dark Riders, Deadpool, Demon Bear, Doctor Weisman, Ekatarina Gryaznova, Eternals, Externals, Feral, Frau Verschlagen, Gamesmaster, Genoshan Cabinet, Gideon, Gog, Graydon Creed, Hela, Hellfire Club, Henry Gyrich, Holocaust, Horsemen of Apocalypse, Juggernaut, Locus, MaGog, Magistrates, Marcus Tsung, Martin Edwards, Martin Strong, Masque, Mimic, Mindmeld, Miss Locke, Mister Sinister, Mojo, Mutant Liberation Front, New Hellions, Niles Roman, Nimrod, Odysseus Indigo, Ozymandias, Pandemonia, Pico, Prime Sentinels, Queen of the Star Swords, Reignfire, Risque, S.H.I.E.L.D., Sabretooth, Sage, Saul, Sauron, Schlange, Sebastian Shaw, Selene, Servo-Guards, Shinar, Shinobi Shaw, Short Circuit, Skornn, Sledge, Sluggo, Spiral, Stryfe, Sword, Thornn, Tolliver, Upstarts, Valerie Cooper, Vanisher, War Machine, Weapon P.R.I.M.E., X-Force, Zero Origin and Status It’s hard for us to even say Space Force! without an exclamation point at the end, so we are disappointed that one wasn’t included in the logo. Kind of feeling like maybe the innovative piece didn’t extend to logo design. Their vision: innovate, accelerate, dominate. Ice Ice Baby debate.įounded in 1982, the Air Force Space Command was a major command based out of Petersen Air Force Base, with a mission to provide resilient, defendable and affordable space capabilities for the Air Force, Joint Force and the Nation. Sure they added a globe and changed some of the stars around a bit, but this feels a little bit like the Under Pressure vs. We’re not IP experts here, but this looks SUPER similar to Star Trek’s. Those symbols were worn by some of the first space explorers and adorned uniforms and ships during humanity’s first steps into the final frontier.” Star Trek does acknowledge on their site that they were inspired by the NASA logo (NASA was established in 1958): “In the Star Trek universe, the delta emblem is a direct descendant of the vector component of the old NASA (and later UESPA) logos in use during Earth’s space programs of the 20th and 21st Centuries. The delta - or ‘Arrowhead’ as Bill Theiss called it - has evolved into a revered symbol and one that’s synonymous with Star Trek today.”
According to, “The delta insignia was first drawn in 1964 by costume designer William Ware Theiss with input from series creator Gene Roddenberry. But put the future aside and if we’re just talking about facts, this bad boy was created in the 1960s. To be fair, Starfleet Command is credited as being founded between 2030-2040 and we all know if you’re not first, you’re last. So what came first: the chicken, the egg or the alien? Still others are saying it all started with NASA and Big Brother always wins.
The other half of Twitter is furious at the accusation that the logo was copied, citing the 1982 design of the United States Air Force Space Command logo, and saying it’s just an update of that and to blame not Trump but Reagan and #journalism for not researching the history of the logos. President Trump unveiled the Space Force logo today via social media and Star Trek fans everywhere are thinking the “coincidence” in appearance to the Starfleet Command logo is “highly illogical,” “clearly copied,” and our personal favorite: “a blatant f****** ripoff.” – The great people of Twitter
