Cable

Oh, nice.

Cable does a get over here on Mortal Kombat.

Yep, which is the most 90s-ass thing ever, and I was like, wait, when did that come out? And yes, Mortal Kombat had been out in 97, so this was...

Yeah, 1992.

He does not kill them, of course, because he knows that they're just, like, stupid kids.

Jubilee is like, you got to bring them with us.

And Cable's kind of, like, emphasizing that point of, like, this isn't the Boy Scouts.

Like, you're in an army.

I totally won that.

So we see Cable also fighting along with his Storm.

People

won't know until the future about whatever he's

I've seen the future.

I've seen it.

Jubilee's basically like to Roberto like hey let's bring these new friends along and Berto's like you have to like go through Cable like Cable's the boss and Jubilee's like hey boss man can we like bring Rusty and Skids along they're my new friends and Cable's like I don't know these people I don't trust these people and he shoots Rusty and Skids laughing Not a death shoot.

More like a stun shoot.

Thanks for that, Georgie.

Next, Georgie also writes, "Is Tommy future X-Man? Love his jacket." So it, well, uh, he's not X-Man, because X-Man is Nathaniel Summers, who is a version of Cable, who...

I know, it's confusing.

Uh, that's X-Man.

And it's like, oh, next up is our whatever, our Marvel mashup series.

And there'll be somebody going, you know, Cable meets Jean Grey, Cable meets Jean Grey.

And they'll say, first up is Cable meets Jean Grey.

And the guy will be like, it's his Christmas and New Year's and birthday and everything in between.

all he ever wanted was

Um, okay.

Uh, last thing, we got a rumor flying around the internet [laughs] that Cable is going to return for Deadpool 4.

Josh Brolin as Cable?

Yes.

So that is the weird part.

It's kinda weird, but, like, I'm, I'm into it.

I want it.

I like Cable back.

So we got this baby floating around with telekinesis and a, and a force field, and this giant old man that, that's forming the New Mutants into a militia.

Well, guess what? That baby was Cable.

I...

Yes.

They did it to Spider-Woman not that long ago.

But yeah.

Nathan, little Nathan Christopher ends up being Cable.

I, I thought you were going into the Goblin Queen as extreme makeover.

A sniper puts a techno-organic bullet into the professor.

And the man holding the smoking gun appears to be Cable.

Cable, the grizzled, time-traveling cyborg who founded the militant mutant team X-Force.

The assassination attempt instantly triggers a mutant civil war.

The X-Men and X-Factor are hunting down Cable and X-Force.

Amidst this chaos, the master geneticist villain, Mr. Sinister, spots an opportunity.

Sinister orchestrates the kidnapping of Cyclops and Jean Grey, but he covers his tracks by deliberately leaving a trail of evidence pointing directly to Apocalypse.

Because Sinister is trying to flush Apocalypse out of hiding to instigate a larger conflict.

That does not mean it's not going to come later on down the road, because I truly believe it is going to, but with Jean, I don't think it's necessary to just start off with the Phoenix Force.

There's a lot that they can do, especially with Mr. Sinister, Madelyne Pryor, the clone, everything, you know, Cable.

There's a lot that they can do with the story of the X-Men without diving into the Phoenix Force right away.

But ultimately, the Phoenix Force has to come into the MCU.

Now, I did mention castings.

Really interesting rumor going around right now.

Fans are, I would say, speculating that Cody Rhodes has been cast as Nathan Summers, AKA Cable, in the MCU.

He recently used the X-Men's theme in his Instagram story, and he did post a picture of him at Marvel Studios.

You know, whether it was En Sabah Nur or actual Apocalypse.

Um, and the introduction of Cable.

Um, you know, the grown man who is the son of two middle-aged people.

[laughs]

Mm-hmm

... where, um-

Cable and...

Young Cable
