New Members
- Calvin James - Ex-SEAL, ex-SWAT, James was recruited during a San Francisco SWAT team mission that went to hell in a handbasket, then kidnapped by McCarter and Manning (PF #12: The Black Alchemists), arriving blindfolded at the Farm still dressed in his SWAT uniform. In his late twenties or early thirties and is described as a "nice-looking guy" with a dangerous, mysterious quality to him. He was the first natural-born American and the only African-American to join Phoenix Force, initially to supplement the team with his knowledge of biochemistry and medicine. He serves as the unit's medic, and has a natural talent for con artistry. He is a skilled martial artist and knife fighter, originally from Chicago's South Side. Along with Encizo, he is considered to be Stony Man's resident edged weapons expert. He was the first member of Phoenix Force to not be recruited or screened in any way by Mack. He is missing the tip of his little pinky on his left hand, thanks to a torturer during a mission at the Vatican.
- T.J. Hawkins - Ex-Ranger, ex-Delta Force, Hawkins was recruited by Katz and Bolan shortly after Katz retired from field work and David McCarter became the new commander of Phoenix Force. Named after Confederate general Stonewall Jackson, Hawkins followed in his father's footsteps and joined the U.S. Army. His career was cut short when he resigned after nearly getting wrongfully brought up on murder charges for shooting a Somali warlord that was endangering a small Somali village.

Famous quotes containing the word members:
“This will not be disloyalty but will show that as members of a party they are loyal first to the fine things for which the party stands and when it rejects those things or forgets the legitimate objects for which parties exist, then as a party it cannot command the honest loyalty of its members.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“If the most significant characteristic of man is the complex of biological needs he shares with all members of his species, then the best lives for the writer to observe are those in which the role of natural necessity is clearest, namely, the lives of the very poor.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
