There is a serious issue with this sentence:

Cable was born Christopher Charles Summers, the child of Scott Summers (Cyclops) and Madelyne Pryor (Madelyne Pryor was later revealed to be a clone of Jean Grey, created by Mister Sinister for the express purpose of mating her with Scott to create Cable. It was she who dubbed him "Nathan," in order to taunt Scott by reminding him of a childhood bully, as she prepared to sacrifice him before the X-Men and X-Factor saved him).

Isn't the left side of Cable's body composed of cybernetic material and doesn't he possess some superhuman physical capabilities as a result? I recall, during the Fatal Attractions crossover event that occurred 1993, Magneto had used his powers on Cable that resulted in the left half of his body essentially being transformed into heaps of broken metallic components.

[edit] Cable's Age

If Cable were never infected with Apocalypse's T.O. virus and wasn't sent to the future to be saved, how old would he be?

Rahne was about 14 or 15 when Nathan was born, now she's 19, so I'd say he'd be four or five years old, but this is just a guess.

[edit] Ultimate Cable

Umm, there is nothing to suggest Cable is wolverine. "wolverine versus himself" can just refer to the fact that Cable has claws, not that it is Wolverine. Otherwise, why would he state "without healing factor?" Wolverine has and always will have healing factor, so to whoever posted that theory, it doesn't add up, so I'm removing it. Besides it's far more likely that Cable is the result of Wolverine and Jean rather than an aged de-powered wolverine. Tinibash 22:08, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, looks as if you've been proven wrong given the events unfolding in Ultimate X-Men #76. 4.225.11.206 02:59, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

I think that Ultimate Cable is a clone of Wolverine, not his future self. Sabretooth did take a piece of Wolverine's flesh to Doctor Cornelius, who stated: "We will make our own Wolverine." Also, this solves both the healing factor problem and the problem of interacting with your past self, as the factor could be hard or impossible to sustain in a clone and it would not be a case of interacting with your past self, as it was'nt you. --Hunter Peterson

[edit] Bibliography

Needs one. Nothing too snazzy, just a list of series. --Jamdav86 13:55 October 2006 (UTC)

I started one, but it's not complete, and apparently there were some gaps where he wasn't really in X-Force, but I'm not really familiar with that era. Brad T. Cordeiro 21:03, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

As it been made, I have expanded it. I put his appearances in X-Force for 1-70 where he officialy leaves the team, even though there are issues/short periods before that where he doesn't appear/isn't a member and some later appearances where he does, but from what I understand we want more a general list.

There should be a mention that during the 90s, he guest stars in many comics to boost sales, particularly Marvel UK books. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 14:57, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

That should go in the currently non-existent Publication history section. Care to kick it off?--Jamdav86 18:03, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Power and Abilities

I almost want to put this under character biography, N E 1 else? Toodiesel 15:15, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] His Son

i was curious as to why there is no mention of his son Tyler Dayspring or Genesis as apparently wikipedia doesn't redirect 'Tyler Dayspring' to the already existing Genesis article. i was just curious Stellrmn 09:21, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
