Cable, a character who already had one of the most convoluted histories in comics, is now a teenager/young adult. The reasons for which are now old enough that I feel I can tweet without spoiling everyone& #39;s pull lists.

This means that Cable was born in the mid-00s (Marvel sliding timescale, was actually the late 80s), then transported to the far future. He grew up there into a young adult, then travelled back in time to save Cyclops& #39; life in the late 2010s. And kill himself, of course.

There, he continued to live for an as-yet unknown amount of time. He then returned to his home of the far future and aged to his mid/late 30s before going back to just after his birth (90s) & palling around with the New Mutants/X-Force.

After several years, palling with the X-Men and Deadpool (and multiple "deaths"), he returned to the far future to, I dunno, fight Apocalypse again maybe? But then he returned to the present to join the Avengers. And get killed by his younger self for failing the timestream.

Some time later, he will head to the end of time to live out his final days. Yes, after being killed by his younger self. There, he will get killed by Deadpool (from the late 2010s) at the behest of Styfe (Cable& #39;s clone [it& #39;s a mess]).

And thus concludes my brief synopsis of Cable AKA Nathan Summers. I didn& #39;t even have to mention his powers constantly changing, his multiple technorganic viral infections, his status as The Chosen One, and only had to say Styfe once! I don& #39;t even know his complete history TBH...
