Creator: Fabian Nicieza

Writer/editor responsible for several major X-Men storylines including Age of Apocalypse.  He created Deadpool, X-Force, The New Warriors, Cable’s first solo series (and his second solo series), Jack “Nomad” Monroe, Shatterstar, Domino, and Gideon.

With that pedigree, Marvel fired him.  Seriously.  When X-Force was at the top of the sales charts.
