History
The Weapon P.R.I.M.E. project was first activated for combat by Garrison Kane, the then-current Weapon X, in order to track down Cable and bring him to justice for perceived crimes. X-Force had just been involved in a fiery New York hostage situation (their first media appearance) that made S.H.I.E.L.D. and Department K question what sort of role the team had played. Kane and G. W. Bridge, both former members of the Six Pack and very angry about what Cable did to them, tried to convince their organizations that Cable needed to be brought down with or without proof of current crimes. On his very next mission, Weapon X was ambushed by the MLF during a raid and taken to Stryfe, who took off his helmet and convinced the astonished and angry Kane that Stryfe and Cable were one and the same person, and definitely terrorist. Given the proof they needed, Kane and Bridge had Weapon P.R.I.M.E.'s mission approved, with SHIELD opting to let Project K solely run it. Of the members, Yeti and Tygerstryke were original to the program, Rictor joined to take vengeance on Cable for killing his father (actually done by Stryfe), and Grizzly joined as another former member of the Six Pack who had an axe to grind with Cable.
Their first mission was to ambush Cable and X-Force at their base in the Adirondacks. They attacked just as X-Force was preparing to vacate the base, as its secrecy had already been compromised by Tolliver and Deadpool. The base had been rigged to self-destruct, and it did just that during Weapon P.R.I.M.E.'s fight to capture Cable. Cable escaped, and they tried to capture the members of X-Force instead, also failing at that. Instead, X-Force ended up recruiting Rictor and escaping with the IPAC. After this Grizzly left the team and Bridge and Kane resumed their normal duties
