The titular team is composed of five teenage runaways who've manifested paranormal psychic powers, with each person possessing a different ability. They're gathered together by Emmett Proudhawk, a rogue [=CIA=] agent who's also a paranormal telepath. Proudhawk is aware that many other psychics have recently vanished or died and fears that the teenagers will only stay alive if they learn to work together.
However, Proudhawk himself is almost immediately killed by a [=KGB=] team pursuing the final runaway he'd rescued. His death leaves rebellious telepath Wayne Tucker, who'd previously been planning to desert the group entirely, as the team's new de facto leader. Proudhawk's death also leaves them with a hawk medallion that seems to retain some of his power, allowing the teenagers to conjure up a winged, angelic psychic being - the Psi-Hawk - which contains all the powers of the people creating it.
''Psi-Force'' was one of eight initial titles launched to introduce the New Universe, a shared world completely separate from the existing Franchise/MarvelUniverse, and became one of the most commercially successful, longest-running series in that setting.
The New Universe was initially billed as “the world outside your window”, a more realistic setting which was identical to the real world until a single MassEmpoweringEvent granted some people superpowers. All of Psi-Force gained their abilities from that "White Event", which occurred a few weeks before the first issue - although some of also had very faint glimmerings of psychic ability prior to that.
Later in the series the team came into conflict with other superpowered groups, such as the Medusa Web mercenaries and the Soviet paranormals of the Siberian Project. The membership of the Psi-Force team also changed several times, with characters joining, leaving or dying - however, Proudhawk's medallion generally kept the membership at five, the largest number that could safely create the Psi-Hawk.
After the New Universe was initially connected to the Marvel Universe, a version of Psi-Hawk also appeared in ''ComicBook/{{Quasar}}'' and ''ComicBook/{{Starblast}}'', although the individual members of Psi-Force didn't appear.
An ''[[ComicBook/UntoldTalesOfTheNewUniverse Untold Tales of the New Universe: Psi-Force]]'' one-off was also published in 2006 to mark the 20th anniversary of the New Universe.
