Posted on by EHT Comics

Other cast members included Callisto, another mutant leader and former member of the Morlocks, and newcomers such as Wicked, Freakshow, Shola Inkosi, and Karima Shapandar. Archangel and Husk also appeared in the series. The grouping never laid claim to the name Excalibur, despite the title of the series. The series’ last issue was #14, released in May, 2005. Events of the “House of M” storyline concluded Xavier’s and Magneto’s partnership. Afterward, the mutant members of the group showed up in the “Son of M” series, where it was revealed they had all lost their powers due to the “Decimation.” However, they used Quicksilver‘s stolen Terrigen Mist to bring their powers back, which caused them to go out of control, but the effect wore off later, leaving them human.

After learning of Solo’s impersonation, Deadpool came up with the idea to form a group of mercenaries called the Mercs for Money to extend his reach across the globe.
