The Marvel universe is filled with a wide variety of superheroes, some good and some bad. The series has a few favorites such as Spider-Man, Deadpool, Wolverine and so on, but it also has lesser-known but no less interesting characters such as Cable. Marvel introduced this hero back in 1990, and then he had a pretty good popularity, but by 2002 his fan base had dwindled significantly. This is an incredibly interesting and impressive character, whose story is captivating, and whose abilities are surprising. Well, it's time to find out who Cable from Marvel is.
Short description
If the key characters of the universe can be described briefly and succinctly, defining their commitment to the forces of good or evil, then in this case everything is not so simple. The fact is that Cable from Marvel is not the easiest hero. He acts as a kind of messiah from the future, who is trying to fix the past, despite the fact that he does not receive much love from the inhabitants of the Earth, as well as mutants. He has telepathic and telekinetic abilities that make him one of the strongest superheroes. It can be described asthe chaotic opposite of Professor Xavier on the good side of the mutants. However, this is not a completely accurate description, because the character of Cable is much more complex and unusual. To better understand it, you need to know its history. What is the biography of this character in the Marvel universe? Cable has been through a lot, so you will be interested to know how his life turned out.
Childhood
Immediately it should be noted that the heroes of Marvel (Marvel) often do not have the most accurate biographies due to the variety of alternative universes, options for what is happening, time travel and so on. In the case of Cable, it was time travel that had a great influence on the biography. However, it is worth starting from the very beginning. Cable, whose real name is Nathan Summers, is the son of Scott Summers, known as Cyclops, and Madeleine Pryer, who is a clone of Jean Gray, created specifically for the creation of Cable by Sinister, who started the betrayal of the Apocalypse. However, Apocalypse learned of Sinister's betrayal and infected the baby with a techno-organic virus that slowly killed the baby. However, it did not come to death, since a woman from the future appeared to the Cyclops, who said that Nathan could be saved only if he went to the future. So Nathan Summers (Cable, Cable) ended up there.
Time in the future
A brief history of the character Cable (Cable) must necessarily include a period in the future, since it was there that the maindevelopment of this character. When he moved, the same woman, Askani, who turned out to be Nathan's time-displaced mother, cloned him in case he did not survive due to the techno-organic virus. However, both Nathan and his clone were able to survive, only the latter was kidnapped by the followers of the Apocalypse, who wanted to move his mind into the body of a clone named Stryfe. In this way, Apocalypse raised Stryfe, while Cable was raised by his parents, transported back in time by Askani's latest efforts. It was they who were able to prevent the relocation of the mind of Apocalypse into the body of Stryfe, thanks to which the villain died completely. However, Stryfe was not going to sit idly by, so he went to the past (present) to seize power and become a full-fledged successor to the Apocalypse. Cable naturally followed him to stop him.
Present
Cable traveled between the present and the future on his own ship for a long time, constantly confronting both his clone and other villains. However, one day, when he returned from the future to the present, he found out that Stryfe, under the guise of Cable, managed to annoy almost all the mutants in the world, and now they all turned against him. He miraculously managed to convince several mutants that these were the tricks of his twin, after which he decided to hold the last battle with Stryfe. They clashed on the moon and after a fierce battle, it would seem that both died. However, Cable later appeared in the future, but inhis mind was Stryfe. He miraculously managed to get rid of Stryfe's identity, after which he learned from Sinister that Stryfe was his clone, and not vice versa, as Stryfe himself constantly informed him. After defeating Stryfe, Cable began to move towards what he considered his life's goal - the destruction of the Apocalypse in the present. After Jean Gray taught him how to use his psionic abilities to the maximum level, he entered into a confrontation with Apocalypse and defeated him. After that, he began to travel the world as a mercenary, who gained fame under the nickname X-Soldier.
Abilities
As you can tell from any figure, Cable (you're currently reviewing this character) is a powerful, aged man armed with a strange and large weapon. However, his main powers still remain telepathic and telekinetic abilities. Initially, he could not use them properly due to the fact that he was sick with a techno-organic virus, but over time his abilities grew and he could use them without any problems. Later, his telepathic and telekinetic abilities became so advanced that he could even read minds and control the minds of other people. His abilities are considered among the strongest in the entire universe, but they are further enhanced by the fact that he has an impressive amount of experience gained through time travel, a high IQ, as well as some of the strongest mutants in history as his teachers on its various stagesdevelopment and formation.
Telekinetic features
Of course, in different universes, his abilities are different (in particular, they are very different in the Cable Marvel Select series), but if we talk about the original universe, then in addition to basic telepathic and telekinetic abilities, Cable learned to lift objects of even the most incredible gravity, as well as telekinetically lift yourself up to fly short distances through the air.
Foresight and other interesting points
Cable has other interesting features that may attract fans who have not heard of such a hero before. For example, he can foresee future events to a small extent and even astral travel through time without the use of special equipment. He also uses his techno-organic infection to his advantage, which, coupled with the connection to the InfoNet, gives him cyberpathy. In addition, the techno-organic parts of his body have incredible durability and strength.
