Of the four that died, three have reappeared. When Warpath fails to
fly, I'll know that portion of Counter X never happened. (BTW, I hope
he fails to fly.) If that never happened, it should mean Wisdom and
Bedlam are both out there somewhere.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Maybe it happened on Counter-Earth?

(works for me)

Pete Wisdom appeared alive at the very end of X-FORCE, and he said the rest
would return when they were least expected.

Since the issues dealt with adjusting the genome to rid humanity of crime,
could it be that X-Force was somehow genetically tainted to be more vicious,
but they got better?

Works for me too.

For what it's worth, so do I.

You listening, Fabian?

As far as I can figure out (i.e. some confusing Google research) Wisdom did
appear after the whole insane Counter X madness<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

While I didn't like Counter X X-Force, I can ignore a lot of the
behavioral issues. It's the _flying_ that bugs me. Warpath should not
be flying. It's just wrong. It doesn't even make sense as a natural
outgrowth of his powers for Wisdom to have figured out. And Meltdown's
powers turning into generic energy bolts was nearly as bad.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Hey, nice idea. What, with the "Counter" and all. I'll go with that,
at least in my head.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Yeah. He was around at the very, very end of X-Force, saying everyone would be
back when they were least expected.

I don't know what Counter-Earth is, but Counter-X-Man did have the concept
of lots of parallel Earths strung together like a DNA strand. If they could
keep Counter-X-Man in continuity, they could say that the rest of Counter-X
occurred down spiral, on one of the broken realities.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
