Cable
Cable — Nathan Summers, son of Cyclops and Madelyne Pryor — is a time-displaced soldier whose existence is shaped by a mission he inherited before he could choose it. Infected as an infant with the techno-organic virus and sent to the future, he returned as a massive, scarred warrior with one glowing eye and a pragmatist's approach to saving the world permanently at odds with Xavier's idealism. His psi powers — when the T-O virus is not suppressing them — are Omega-level.
The Liefeld design and Nicieza scripts that launched Cable in New Mutants and early X-Force are collected in the New Mutants Omnibus. Ed Brubaker and Duane Swierczynski's post-Messiah Complex run paired Cable with Hope Summers in a chase through the timestream — among the best sustained Cable storytelling in collected editions. Jonathan Hickman's Krakoa-era reinvention as the island's youthful warrior added a fresh layer to a character often reduced to his armament.
