Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Weapon P.R.I.M.E. is a group of superhuman operatives acting under the authority of Canada's Department K. They became Canada's preeminent superhero team in 1994 after the demise of Alpha Flight. Their first appearance and mission was in X-Force #11-14. As revealed in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: A-Z, "P.R.I.M.E." stands for "PRototype Induced Mutation Echelon."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.
