In #199, Mystique cuts a deal with the Feds to make the Brotherhood a super-powered SWAT team, under the title 'Freedom Force'. Her justifications are reasonable: anti-mutie sentiment is getting out of hand, this way she and her crew are seen as good-upright-law-n-order-amurricans. If this holds up, so much for them doing in Kelly (unless he gets caught as a bystander...Hmmm....)
