Team X is a fictional black ops team in the Marvel Universe.

In the Marvel Universe, Team X was a CIA black ops team that operated during the 1960s and was linked to Weapon Plus. It was made up of Logan (James Howlett) (the future Wolverine), Victor Creed (the future Sabretooth), Mastodon, David North/Christoph Nord (Maverick), the Major Arthur Barrington, Silver Fox, Noel Higgins (Wildcat), Aldo Ferro (Vole) and John Wraith (Kestrel).

Team X featured in the X-Men Animated Series of the mid-1990s in an episode called "Weapon X, Lies & Video Tape". In this episode, Wolverine, as do all the original members, had several flashbacks and returned to a Weapon X facility in Canada. The other team members are Sabretooth, Silver Fox, and Maverick. They recalled their previous missions and their battles with Omega Red, but also they realized that much of these memories were implanted into them by the Weapon X scientists. They were brought there to die at the hands of a Weapon X robot called Thalos. Thalos fails, but only because the team works together again to destroy the Weapon X countermeasure.

Team X has also figured prominently in the storyline of the Wolverine and the X-Men cartoon that began in 2008. In this series, the team consisted of Wolverine, Sabretooth, Mystique and operated as a section of the Weapon X project under the supervision of Dr. Cornelius. Following the departures of both Wolverine and Mystique, Maverick was captured, brainwashed and made to join the team.
