The second volume of ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen'' was launched in 2011, and was written by Creator/KieronGillen. This volume was launched after the ''Schism'' event which itself was born out of the event ''ComicBook/HouseOfM'', in which nearly the entire mutant race was depowered. The ComicBook/XMen split themselves into two, following either ComicBook/{{Cyclops}}'s or ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}'s ideologies. This volume focused on Cyclops's "Extinction Team" as they went to any length to prevent the extinction of mutants or save the world in general, while demonstrating to the world that mutants still had a BadassArmy. The volume ended in 2012 with the ''Comicbook/AvengersVsXMen'' event changing the entire course for Cyclops and his followers.

* BigBad: Mr Sinister. He watches the team since Schism, then tries to replace humanity with an army of his clones using Celestial tech, nearly succeeds in defeating the Phoenix Five during Comicbook/AvengersVsXMen and ends up murdering and impersonating their PR-specialist to [[KarmaHoudini leave completely without punishment]] at the end of the run. He is also the [[ArchEnemy first reason for Scott]] to become willing to escape his captivity.

* TakeThat: The Apex didn't think humans were sophisticated enough to grasp the concept of a man's husband, so in the translation device he made it comes out as "unwife".

!!The second volume provides examples of the following tropes:
* AnArmAndALeg: Emma loses an arm against Mr. Sinister. Being in diamond form, she doesn't die from blood loss or anything, and she gets better.
* BadassArmy: Cyclops' goal, kind of carried over from the previous volume, was to establish that mutants still had one, despite the even lower numbers.
* BadassCrew: The Extinction team, who are the protagonists. They are the biggest heavy hitters of the X-Men.
* BigBad: Mr Sinister. He watches the team since Schism, then tries to replace humanity with an army of his clones using Celestial tech, nearly succeeds in defeating the Phoenix Five during Comicbook/AvengersVsXMen and ends up murdering and impersonating their PR-specialist to [[KarmaHoudini leave completely without punishment]] at the end of the run. He is also the [[ArchEnemy first reason for Scott]] to become willing to escape his captivity.
* TheBigGuy: Colossus and Namor are the heavy hitters of the Extinction Team.
* CannonFodder: When the Extinction Team attacks Sinister's new city, they find that he has turned the civilians into clones of himself. Most are barely equipped to deal with one X-Man, let alone a team, and are dressed mainly for style. Needless to say, he did not give any shits about their well-being.
* ContinuityLockout: You may think an issue 1 is a good place to jump on... No.
** Even if you read all of the previous issues, the mural the Apex made of the cast of ''Uncanny X-Force'' will make no sense unless you read that series, specifically the "Dark Angel Saga".
* FriendlySniper: Hope Summers.
* PlanetOfHats: Well, Area of Hats. The Apex, a species that was born from the actions of Archangel during ''Uncanny X-Force'', are all elitist snobs who look down on others.
* PowerCopying: Hope can copy more than one power at a time.
* SecretKeeper: Magneto goes out of his way to keep X-Force a secret from Scott, who disbanded the previous incarnation of the team. It helps that he got Wolverine to assassinate someone for him.
* ShipTease: Emma and Namor. They already had a history, since Emma tried to recruit Namor into the Hellfire Club.
* TokenEvilTeammate:
** Colossus, who at the time was host of Cyttorak, although it wasn't a consistent thing.
** Also, Magik, who is still in the brig for her actions in the ''New Mutants'' series.
* WhatTheHellHero: Captain America gives one to Cyke when he has his team leave a team-up in order to help Hope.
