Real Name: Nathaniel Christopher Askani-son Dayspring Summers
Powers: Cable is an awesomly powerful telekinetic and telepath. However, the majority of his power is concentrated on keeping his techno-organic infection from spreading.
Significant reletives: Cyclops (Scott Summers, Father) Madylene Prior-Summers (Mother, Clone of Jean Grey, Deceased [currently re-animated]), Corsair (Major Christopher Summers, Leader of the Starjammers) Havok (Alex Summers, Uncle, assumed deceased), Racheal Summers (Half-sister and god-mother in the futer), Slym and Redd Dayspring (Adoptive parents, actualy Cyclops and Pheonix in different bodies). -phew-!
Discovering she was a mere clone of Scotts true love as orchestrated by Mr. Sinister, she started calling herself the "Goblyn Queen", and tried to let a bunch of goblins and demons invade earth by sacrificing baby Nathan. The X-Men and the newley formed "X-Factor" whupped her, and Scott and Jean raised Nathan as thier own.
As usual, tradegy struck. Apocalypse, realizing that Nathan could be a very poweful mutant, tried to kill him by subjuecting him to the Techno-Organic virus (A robotic virus which slowley assimilates its host into a robot). Cyclops could only save him by sending him 2000 years into the futer, into the arms of his time-traveling daughter from an alternate futer, Racheal (Now calling herself the Mother Askani). Not that he knew that, of course.
A few years later, some gun-nut named CABLE started causing all sorts of trouble in Charles Xaviers name. He eventualy mellowed out a little bit, and took over the reigns of leadership of the New Mutants, renaming them X-Force, after Magneto went evil again. Cable dissapered soon after, and re-appeared with a new team calling themselves "Six Pack" Including Domino and his son from the futer, Tyler.
Then, for no reason, Cable shot Proffesor X.
Actualy, it was Stryfe, Cables evil clone (ugh.. more clones...). The various X-Teams moved to Xaviers side, and kicked Stryfe's ass. Of course, He then released his LEGACY VIRUS, and both he and Cable dissapeered...
Cable returned and re-took leadership of X-Force. However, things were amis. Everyone though CABLE was the clone and that STRYFE was actualy Nathan Summers! Idiots. Mr. Sinister then came clean. He revealed that Cable was indeed Scotts son, and that he intended for Cable to be born so he could have an awesomly powerful mutant. However, all the time-jumping and the Techno Organic virus peverted that plan. So here was Cable, older than everyone else in his "family", and well... my head hurts. Your will too, in a minute.
Scott and Jean FINALY got married, and thier Honeymoon took them on a 12 year trip 2000 years into the futer. Racheal (Mother Askani) had summoned them to raise baby Nathan to fight Apocalypse (Who was ruler. NOTE: THIS IS NOT the AoA), beacuse she was old and dying. In new bodies and calling themselves Slym and Redd Dayspring, they raised Nathan as thier own. When Nathan was 13, the two mysteriously vanished, going back in thier real bodies in the present.
Somehow, This made the present Cable a little stronger (with absolutly no ramifications on continuity up to that point). Cable and X-Force eventualy became fugitives, and hid with the X-Men in thier Weschester mansion. Soon, X-Force got tired of Cable cramming thier style, so he left them on thier own.
Currently, Cable is in Greece, adn travels to and from a town called "Hells Kitchen". He just fought Apocalypses ultimate weapon (No, not as in Final Fantasy 7!), and is gearing up for a final confrontation with the big "A" himself...
