  Prosh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prosh refers to both a calendar fundraising event and the satirical annual newspaper written by students at the University of Western Australia to raise funds for nominated charities.
The annual tradition is the collaboration of a team of voluntary students who write, design and edit a spoof newspaper designed to poke fun at current events and political agendas.
The supposedly "slightly inebriated" team (and their esky) were evicted from the Prosh office on the Guild Village's third floor.

However, Prosh's presence was exacting a terrible toll on a member of the team, a fact known only to Domino.
The Stranger corrupted Prosh's programming and forced him to gather the Cataclysm Keys: five people who could fulfill the Stranger's plan to advance humanity's mutation and power in a fraction of the natural time: Phoenix, Iceman, Mystique, Toad and Juggernaut.
However, Prosh was able to circumvent the Stranger's influence enough to show the Keys clues in their pasts and futures that allowed them to apprehend the Stranger's plan and fight him to a standstill.

To correct this, Prosh was forced to leave Cable and X-Force by latching himself onto a ship and blasting into space and destroying Camp Verde in the process.
Prosh gathered Jean, Toad, Mystique, Iceman, and Juggernaut so that he could have them experience instances of their past to better understand the future, but this was just a ruse to hide the Stranger's true intentions.
prosh was being controlled by the stranger, who wanted to control humanity or something and was using the gathered five as a ruse.

Prosh quickly becomes part of the team over the next several days, until Cable’s techno-organic mesh begins to go out of control and Shatterstar discovers that all of the technology in the base is being disrupted by some sort of electromagnetic output.
Prosh snaps his fingers, and a nearby projector activates, playing back the data he narrates: an agent of the Phalanx came to Camp Verde, assumedly looking to assimilate or destroy X-Force, but upon trying to break into their computer system encountered the Professor.
Prosh objects that this would mean Cable losing all of his equipment and most of the data network, but Cable replies that these are just things; they used to matter to him, when that was all he had, but people matter more to him now.

Prosh looked like a fish out of water when the teams were switching sides for the second half, and he desperately called for the stated 10-minute intermission.
The second half started with prosh running around the house, slitting the hostages’ throats with a determination not unlike that of an Afghani’s resolve to carry the decapitated goat into the “scoring area” in a friendly game of buzkashi.
Although prosh was left in a similar state to Soska on a slow night, on a dimly lit street corner in downtown New York City, cash poor, he eked out the second round with some clever play.

Prosh preached patience to Jayden and Demon; a time-killing strategy to keep the CTs guessing before the inevitable rush toward the bomb targets.
