"Messiah War" is a crossover storyline running through the issues of Cable and X-Force cover-dated May– July 2009 and a one-shot, X-Force/Cable: Messiah War, published by Marvel Comics. Writer Craig Kyle described it as the follow-up to Messiah Complex and "the middle chapter of what I think will be a major three-part saga, which will continue to define and redefine the X-Universe moving forward". The final chapter is X-Men: Second Coming.
The storyline began with a one-shot, X-Force/Cable: Messiah War, and the story runs through the following three months in Cable #13–15 and X-Force #14–16.
Cyclops sends X-Force into the timestream in pursuit of Cable and Hope, shortening their operation against the Leper Queen despite Wolverine's protests. X-Force arrives in 2973, with 32 1⁄2 hours to complete their mission before their time-travel devices kill them. Although Elixir removes his time-band, he does not return to the present. As Vanisher discovers his teleportation powers have failed, he is shot by a sniper (the future Deadpool). X-Force takes Deadpool in search of Cable, whom X-23 tracks to UN Headquarters. Wolverine finds Hope, and is held at gunpoint by Cable. When the team finds them, Cable tells X-Force that they are trapped and shows them the fortress of Apocalypse in the distance.
