The X-Com games and The A-Team. Because, really, if Hannibal's crew isn't part of X-Com's backstory, that's just a flat-out crime against drama.
Consider: X-Com had to kludge together anti-alien technologies and weapons at a rate exceeded only by the PRDC in Pacific Rim. The only person more qualified than the A-Team to be part of that desperate first-year effort is probably Angus MacGuyver.
Also, X-Commies need to be just this side (or perhaps juuust the other side) of batshit crazy. And while the A-Team movie had its flaws, "They're trying to fly that tank" pretty much encapsulates how well-qualified Hannibal, Face, BA, and Murdock (especially Murdock!) are on this score.
