The idea that the Archangel persona was still in him and would always keep bubbling back up led to a lot of my ideas on how to deal with Apocalypse and what Warren Worthington's role would be in all of that," Remender said. That was the piece that really helped me. "I was really very excited about whatever was inside of Warren Worthington bubbling back up in the form of Archangel. In developing the mutant hero's more violent alter ego, they established that the persona still had strong ties its creator, Apocalypse. Remender's decision to use Apocalypse in his initial "Uncanny X-Force" pitch spun out of writers Craig Kyle and Chris Yost having reintroduced Warren Worthington's Archangel persona in their "X-Force" series, the immediate precursor to Remender's book. A couple of weeks later, Axel called and said they were going to go with my pitch - I had the book." Then I spent a few weeks revising and writing up the pitch.
"I bounced some of that stuff off of Matt Fraction, who was writing 'Uncanny X-Men' at the time, and he had a few suggestions. I think the connection between Archangel and Apocalypse naturally told a story that had ramifications, context and seemed pretty interesting," Remender recalled.
So I wrote up a pitch and I sank into the Apocalypse stuff. "They had already put the book on the tracks and knew what the team was going to be when Axel Alonso called me and asked if I wanted to pitch on it.

In 2010, Remender was an established independent creator who had begun to make a name for himself at Marvel with books like "Punisher" and the short-lived "Doctor Voodoo" series when the company offered him "Uncanny X-Force." It was a dream assignment for the long time X-Men fan. Remender joins CBR News for a look back on his critically acclaimed run, with the writer explaining how the past couple of years will impact his current "Uncanny Avengers" series. Two years and 37 issues later, Remender's run on the series and its initial volume has come to a close with the release of "Uncanny X-Force" #35. Many of the super villains of the Marvel Universe have no qualms about murdering anyone who gets in the way of their sinister schemes, but is murder the right way to prevent them from acting on or devising these schemes? And if a group of heroes chose to go down that road, how would it affect them, both physically and emotionally? In 2010, writer Rick Remender posed those questions to readers even as he set to answering them in the pages of "Uncanny X-Force," a series starring a team of costumed heroes moonlighting as assassins.
