Fear Itself: Uncanny X-Force (2011 series) #1

A suicide bomber walks into an airport terminal and shouts “Purify!” before detonating the device. The covert group X-Force is on the case, a mutant team whose job is to do the dirty work of killing when necessary. The members (Wolverine, Archangel, Psylocke, Fantomex, Deadpool) connect the bombing to the Purifiers, an underground organization of anti-mutant bigots; the baddies also have a superhuman hostage, set for public execution. Psylocke and Fantomex crash an “End of the World” party where they meet news pundit Benedict Ryan who is secretly a Purifier and want to know what their plans are. Ryan leaps off the balcony, not wanting to be touched by mutants. After Fantomex expresses curiosity about seeing what happens he (Ryan) lands, Psylocke nags him into dispatching EVA to rescue him. The team interrogates Ryan who, at first, won’t reveal anything but his hatred for mutants. When Psylocke displays her psychic blade, Ryan relents, fearing interference with his mind…

…and tells them that the baddies they want are a splinter group of the Purifiers, led by one Jonathan Standish. He believes that the devil has come to take people’s souls before they can go to heaven and it’s not just the mutants responsible but all super people. And he is planning to give the world their sign, using the captive hero….

The X-Force assault a Purifier base in Fort Carroll, Baltimore, killing everyone and learning from a punk that the hero is being held by a splinter group….

On a live transmission, Jonathan Standish announces how super-people have brought on the end of the world, exhorting all his listeners to kill themselves to save their souls, and executing the captive hero with a bullet to the head….
