History:
(X-Force I#125 (fb) - BTS) - Agent Wright was one sixteenth Native American. As part of the CIA, Wright was involved in a secret project in which the CIA experimented on several Texas State Penitentiary inmate volunteers, mutating them into the shapeshifting Bush Rangers in hopes of creating a group of mutates subservient to the CIA.

(X-Force I#127 (fb) - BTS) - More recently, Wright had a daughter Louise who became very ill and he learned from several drug companies that celebrity mutant group X-Force had allowed mutant cure-all Paco Perez go free instead of turning him over to government custody. Angry that X-Force had released the only possible cure his daughter Louise had and feeling like X-Force didn't care, as their public image would be saved by their money and fame, Agent Wright grew to hate X-Force and he began keeping a photo of Louise on him at all times.

(X-Force I#125) - During the briefing on their latest mission, X-Force were introduced to Agent Wright by their owner, Spike Freeman. Upon being introduced, Agent Wright immediately claimed that he hated everything X-Force stood for, accusing them of being the "putrid underbelly of American society" and expressing interest in seeing X-Force eradicated from the face of the Earth. Smiling, he then sarcastically remarked that he hoped he and X-Force could work together, prompting X-Force member the Spike to immediately proclaim that he did not join X-Force to play house-servant to the CIA. When the Spike's teammate, the Anarchist, agreed, Agent Wright ordered them both to sit down and shut up before claiming he had to save X-Force from their own leader, the Orphan, who had recently and deliberately released mutant Paco Perez rather than bringing him back to the USA. The Orphan promptly responded by backhanding Agent Wright in the face and, as he gathered his bearings, Wright called the Orphan a spineless jellyfish, which angered X-Forcer U-Go Girl, who teleported Wright into the air above the Grand Canyon and dropped him. As Wright clung to U-Go Girl, terrified of falling to his death, U-Go Girl warned Wright against speaking out against the Orphan and Wright revealed how several pharmaceutical companies were angry at the Orphan for freeing Paco Perez instead of turning him over and how X-Force's completion of Wright's mission would keep the companies from destroying X-Force using a targeted ad campaign to ruin their image.

    U-Go Girl then teleported Wright and herself back into X-Force's mission room, where she discussed the situation with the rest of X-Force. After everyone had re-composed themselves, Agent Wright continued on with the mission briefing, this time treating the Orphan with a bit more respect thanks to U-Go Girl's threats, and he revealed how the CIA had one year earlier mutated a group of prison inmates into the shapeshifting Bush Rangers and how the Bush Rangers had taken over the Mars 2010 Space Station in which they were being trained. Agent Wright then revealed that he had made a deal with the pharmaceutical companies angry at the Orphan to square things with them in exchange for X-Force going into space and feigning capture at the hands of the Bush Rangers, thereby allowing the CIA to come in and "save" them to improve the CIA's public image. Wright then stood by as X-Force voted whether or not to go on the mission or not, ultimately deciding to head into space to accomplish the CIA's mission. Still fearful of what U-Go Girl might do to him if he didn't suck up, Agent Wright expressed happiness that X-Force would go on the PR mission for the CIA then announced that the CIA would be happier if U-Go Girl replaced the Orphan as X-Force leader. U-Go Girl argued against the idea, confusing Agent Wright, who thought she wanted that, and proclaimed that the CIA would get X-Force with the Orphan as leader or not at all.

(X-Force I#127) - Once in space, Agent Wright contacted X-Force, only to find them relaxing and waiting for the CIA to arrive instead of being captives as planned. The Orphan informed Wright that they were waiting until the CIA got closer to the Space Station before allowing themselves to get captured and Wright warned the group against pressing their luck with him, as he was the one keeping the pharmaceutical companies from turning X-Force into the biggest hate figure since Osama bin Laden. U-Go Girl countered by warning Wright not to push it with them either, as they could easily decide to take their chances with the bad publicity, but the Orphan interrupted, agreeing that they probably go ahead and get themselves captured. By the time Agent Wright and the CIA docked with the Mars 2010 Space Station, X-Force had killed or wounded nearly all of the Bush Rangers and when Wright arrived, he announced a change of plans and unleashed the CIA Crack Squad against the mutants, claiming that the official word would be that the CIA had "tried" to save X-Force but the team always had a high mortality rate. Before the CIA Crack Squad could kill anyone, however, U-Go Girl teleported herself, the Orphan, Doop and the Anarchist into a nearby satellite, leaving Wright to wonder where they had gone.

    Soon discovering the foursome inside the nearby satellite, Wright informed them that the satellite was on a course headed for deep space, where it would eventually disintegrate or collide with something. When the Orphan demanded Wright find a way to turn the satellite around and asked why Wright had betrayed them, Wright explained that he was doing it all for his sick daughter Louise, who had been hospitalized since age three in hopes of future medical breakthroughs, and how he felt a chance at those breakthroughs had been thrown away when the Orphan had released Paco Perez into the custody of former X-Force member Saint Anna's father instead of delivering him to the US government. He then ended communication with the four X-Force members on the satellite but soon found himself facing the remaining X-Force members, who easily took down the CIA Crack Squad. Insisting that the "popular" X-Force members were as a good as dead and the remaining members could do nothing about it, Agent Wright reached into his uniform, prompting "the Spike" (secretly disguised Bush Ranger Tray posing as the Spike) to impale Wright with a bevy of spikes. X-Force members Vivisector and Phat asked why killing Wright was necessary and "the Spike" claimed he had seen Wright reach for something. "The Spike" then searched for what Wright was reaching for, only to find a photo of Wright's daughter Louise.

(X-Force I#128) - While Vivisector attempted to communicate with a small shuttle that had emerged from the out of control satellite housing U-Go Girl, the Orphan, Doop and the Anarchist, Agent Wright's lifeless body laid off to the side looking like a human pincushion. Once the Orphan, U-Go Girl and Doop docked at the Mars 2010 Space Station to regroup with their teammates, they noticed Agent Wright's body in the corner. Soon after, Agent Wright's body was covered with a sheet (as much as possible given the spikes sticking out of him) and X-Force member Dead Girl realized Agent Wright's corpse was speaking to her via its decomposing bacteria, disintegrating tissue, hair and skin. Using her powers in a new way to essentially "read" Agent Wright's corpse, Dead Girl learned that Wright had lied about the satellite being out of control and the rest of X-Force took control of the satellite to rescue the Anarchist. Later, the rescued Anarchist awoke next to Wright's impaled corpse and Dead Girl explained how she'd learned how to "read" Wright's corpse in order to rescue the Anarchist.

CLARIFICATIONS:
Agent Wright has no known connections to

The X-Force, a.k.a. X-Statix, that Agent Wright dealt with, should not be mistaken for


CIA Crack Squad

The CIA Crack Squad was an elite group of CIA soldiers who worked directly under Agent Wright. As part of their mission against the Bush Rangers, X-Force was to feign capture and allow the CIA Crack Squad to then arrive to "save" them from the Bush Rangers. As X-Force were waiting for the Crack Squad to arrive, a fight occurred with the Bush Rangers that killed or wounded nearly all of the Bush Rangers. When the Crack Squad finally arrived, Agent Wright betrayed X-Force and ordered the Crack Squad to fire on the team. The senior members avoided death by teleporting onto a nearby satellite while the remaining X-Force members made short work of the CIA Crack Squad.

The C.I.A. Crack Squad apparently didn't possess any superhuman powers but they each used a variety of handguns and armor.

Louise Wright

Louise Wright was the daughter of Agent Wright. When she was three, she fell over and was hospitalized with an unknown ailment. She was on life support in hopes that future medical breakthroughs could save her and when the Orphan released mutant cure-all Paco Perez rather than turning him over the government, Agent Wright felt the chances of a medical breakthrough that could save Louise were lost and he grew to hate X-Force.

Louise was only ever seen in a photo.
