Wisdom was briefly a member of the X-Men splinter teams (and spinoff titles) Excalibur and X-Force. He is rarely seen in anything other than a scruffy suit (sometimes under a trenchcoat) or without a cigarette or a bottle of liquor in hand. Wisdom is said to be a derivative of DC Comics' Vertigo character, John Constantine (whom writer Warren Ellis later wrote during a brief and troubled stint on Hellblazer), though Ellis himself has denied this and said Wisdom is based on Jack Regan from The Sweeney.
Jack Regan would kick Pete's ass...
"We're the Sweeney, son, and we haven't had any dinner - you've kept us waiting. So unless you want a kicking, you tell us where those photographs are." - Jack Regan
