While this could be chalked up to his being in his 40s or 50s, his years of time travel make it hard to quantify his age. However, comics that depict his childhood and the current young incarnation of Cable that is running around Krakoa these days, reveal that his hair started going gray as a teen. Assuming that the source of the gray hair isn't just part of his natural physiology, it could be caused by the stress of growing up as a rebel and future messiah in a dystopian wasteland.
However, it could also stem from the strain his immense powers put on his body, since Nate Grey has a similar hair color. Cable's scarred eye is another trademark of his appearance, but it has an inconsistent backstory. When he first appeared in comics as a mysterious mercenary, he only had a single scar across his right eye. Over time, that scar grew and changed into a star-like pattern, which evolved into its standard design.
The story behind the scar in the comics was eventually explained as the point where Cable was first infected with the Techno Organic virus as a baby before he was sent into the far future for treatment.
Similarly to his glowing eye, the scarred eye is also prone to switching sides depending on whoever is drawing Cable at the time. As a result, they were genetically linked, which left Cable with a much weaker version of Deadpool's healing factor for a while. Hilariously, this also meant that Cable's DNA-based teleportation -- or "bodysliding" as it was known in the future -- technology would also bring Deadpool along for the ride, dragging him to Cable's location.
The name was explained it Cable meant the connection between the past present and future. Please Log In to post. This edit will also create new pages on Comic Vine for:.

His body transformed into a gigantic metal face that was stored beneath the Savage Land. This version of Cable lost control of his body, but still retained his mind and access to some of his powers. One of the most important decisions that come up when creating a 2D fighting game is how to implement long-range moves.
If the player can easily fire off lots of ranged moves, then they can beam spam their way to victory. Cable might be the best example of a high-tier fighting game character who earned their spot through beam-spamming. In Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes, Cable is considered to be one of the four best characters in the game along with Magneto, Storm, and the Sentinel due to the fact that he can fill the screen with lazer fire with the press of a button.
This means that Cable has an incredible pedigree when it comes to mutant genetics, as Mister Sinister believes that the Summers family has the most potent DNA of all time. Cable was never able to utilize the full strength of his powers throughout most of his life, as they were being used to hold the techno-organic virus at bay.
This means that his telepathy and telekinesis could have been much stronger throughout his life if they weren't being restricted by the virus. Askani promised Scott Summers that she could save the life of his child, but even the futuristic technology that was available to her almost failed. The Askani clan cloned Nathan Summers so that they had a backup in case he lost the battle with the techno-organic virus. This clone was captured by the forces of Apocalypse and raised to act as his next host body.
When Apocalypse was defeated, the clone was left with no purpose in life. He became the villain known as Stryfe and traveled back in time to battle both Cable and the X-Men. Stryfe was responsible for releasing the Legacy Virus in the present day, which was responsible for claiming the lives of numerous mutants.
Cable lost around a third of his body to the techno-organic virus, meaning that his left arm, left eye, and part of the left side of his abdomen were mechanical. The techno-organic limbs may have been part of a detrimental condition, but they actually gave Cable some powers that he wouldn't have had access to otherwise.
Cable's techno-organic left arm possessed super strength, as his bones and muscles were made of metal, while his left eye could see in the infrared spectrum. These limbs were also incredibly durable and could take far more punishment than the other parts of his body. When Cable was first introduced, he had a scar over his right eye, even though there seemed to be no damage to the eyeball. It's possible that Cable used the futuristic technology that he had access to to heal the damaged organ, or that the wound wasn't very deep.
Since Cable's debut, the artists at Marvel haven't been able to keep his scar straight. There are times when Cable's scar is over the wrong eye, while there are times when he has three different scars over his left eye.
This was later retconned so that Jean Grey had never actually been the Phoenix and was actually placed in an underwater cocoon for years. The absence of Jean Grey threw a wrench in Mister Sinister's plans, as he was expecting her to procreate with Scott Summers and create a powerful mutant child. It's for this reason that Sinister created a clone of Jean Grey to seduce Scott. The reason why Mister Sinister was so determined to create a powerful mutant child was to ensure that there was someone around who could stop Apocalypse in the future.
Mister Sinister had worked closely with Apocalypse in the past and came to the realization that Apocalypse's "Survival of the Fittest" plan would result in the destruction of most of the life on Earth. Mister Sinister's plan succeeded and Cable was able to slay Apocalypse, though this was something that was accomplished in the far future and was after the point when Apocalypse had devastated most of the planet.
Cable may have taken down Apocalypse in the future, but he also came close to creating a new one in the present. Cable had a son in the future, named Tyler Dayspring, who was raised to be part of the resistance against Stryfe. He would eventually travel to the present day and become the evil being known as Genesis, who claimed to be the heir to the throne of Apocalypse.
Telekinesis is one of the most versatile superpowers of all time, as it can be used to emulate other abilities. A mutant with sufficiently powerful telekinesis can use it to fly, create force fields, or enhance their own strength. One of the most peculiar uses of Cable's powers happened during the Soldier X series, where he was able to transform the molecules in his body so that he became giant-sized, which even included his techno-organic limb.
