Ya know.. that old chestnut..

Time travel makes everything weird: Scott and clone Jean have a baby named Nathan(Cable). Nathan gets infected with a techno-organic virus(infected with future technology) by Apocalypse. Nathan gets sent into the future so the virus doesn't kill him, but finds out he can't be cured. Still-infected-Nathan(now going by Cable) goes back in time using the time machines he has access to in the future to stop 7000 year old Apocalypse from doing all the bad things Apocalypse does. When Cable goes back he accidentally infects Apocalypse with the virus and, because Cables virus IS future technology, Apocalypse gains access to the technology which allows him to "evolve" further to become the guy who, in the near-future, would infect Cable with the virus, and start the circle all over again. (Hope this helps, but I doubt it, sorry I did my best to keep it as close to simple as possible)

@@plindquist84 In my past I understood this story line but in the present you made it simple now for the future I'm confused again 🤔

@@plindquist84 Thanks for explaining this. Reminds me of the Terminator paradox, where events in the future affect events in the past, creating a paradox that can't be escaped.

Exactly. But the techno-organic virus carried trace genetic material from its origin. For 2000 years Apocalypse knew he had to it least find the person who infected him and make sure they had them virus. Enter Mr. Sinister. A geneticist beyond his era, who, after being transformed by Apocalypse, had an obsession with the Summers bloodline. He was also the one who created the clone of Jean Grey which allowed for the birth of Nathan. Apocalypse also allowed the Clan Askani to survive because he knew they would have to train Nathan and provide him with tume travelling capabilities.

Haha, good one. For the record, Christopher "Corsair" Summers is Cable's grandpa.

+FairladyZ2005 ahh thanks

He just needs to team up with Owen Reece, to kill Apocalypse

+johnnyscifi *Or not puss out just because Wolverine (Death) has Caliban (Pestilence) by the throat.*

👍

+SinSlasher505 I did not play the game but I know that scene. Yes I do hear that song when i see a pic of Cable.

that's what I was thinking about the whole video

Shit I heard that b4 from where

+Eric Manso the deadpool game

+Dan Burke I liked the several occasions he fought off an entire team of X-Men single handedly.

+Dan Burke I barely notice him in that cartoon tho ?? I like cable because of marval vs capcom 2

Black Koshinomi He wasn't in every episode. Usually aside from brief spots in 'Slave Island' and 'The Cure', he was mostly in multipart stories. 'Time Fugitives' for example, which is one of the best stories in the show.

+pious83 do you remember the name of the 4 episode storyline where Apocalypse gets all of the world psychics to alter time and his existence?

elmarce1983 'Beyond Good & Evil'. Possibly the best storyline of the entire series. It's a shame the show didn't end on this, instead of those *other* episodes that followed it.

I see what you did there...

+MyNameIsBucket i understood that reference

PyroX701 Boy, nothing gets by you.

People took that joke wayyyy to serious.

+Goldenkosher saxybacon #captainamerica voice lol

+Redem10 Well its a better sob storry than you get on America's got tallent. " And now the appearing giant gun trick."

That would be an insanely awkward reunion.

And i technicall have a twin in an alternate future, named X-Man..;)

This is one of the MANY reasons Marvel just needs to reboot their stuff.

+Redem10 would be better if Deadpool explained it through the 4th wall.

+Rich Brooks The titles pop up on the screen.

+Joseph Barrera I see what you did there.

+ComicsExplained I think Steven Lang the badass marine in Avatar would make a perfect Cable.

+pyroblast3000 +1 to this

+pyroblast3000 yep and hes publicly campaigning for the part.

i dont get it???

+WaruKrook Rob Leifeld likes SWAT's pouches.

+WaruKrook Pouches for days!!! If he was Batman he'd fit all that stuff in a little belt.

+D Ostrander If he was Batman, he'd be dead.

+TheChunlilover KUDOS 3 you for having seen that!

We call this the bootstrap paradox

Totally agree

+justin carrabello go home, it's over

+Justine Chang Lee Hau go go go and don't leave your garbage lying around

+Rebel Scout671 shut up

+Rebel Scout671 did someone piss in your cereal today?

+justin carrabello so what's the drama with this individual

He has his mom and dads powers

+leonard holley Yep

.

+ComicsExplained But if he killed or stopped Apocalypse then Cable would cease to exist.

It's sort of a Bootstrap Paradox. Apocalypse created Cable who created Apocalypse etc etc. but we don't know who created who "first".

+collin corbean Well this all came after his appearance in New Mutants.

+ComicsExplained ohhhh thanks. I didn't catch that. The 90s are all kinda a blur to me

+ComicsExplained can you do an explain on the exiles marvel comic

Liefeld created a merc cyborg named Cable with no backstory. Claremont created baby Nathan Summers who was infected with the technovirus. Nicieza wrote the story that revealed Cable and Nathan were the same person.

+collin corbean The character first appeared as a newborn infant in Uncanny X-Men #201 (Jan. 1986), created by writer Chris Claremont, while Cable's adult identity was created by artist/co-writer Rob Liefeld, and first appeared in The New Mutants #87 (March 1990) Though the artist Rob Liefeld is responsible for his visual design, name, and much of his personality, it is claimed that Cable also got some inspiration from editor Bob Harras. Liefeld explains the creation of the character: “I was given a directive to create a new leader for the New Mutants. There was no name, no description besides a 'man of action', the opposite of Xavier. I created the look, the name, much of the history of the character. After I named him Cable, Bob suggested Quinn and Louise had Commander X."

I agree. Also steven lang is a comic character so it makes sense and provides 1 extra easter egg for DP 2

+harry scott LOL Stephen Lang is tiny compared to Liam.... Lang is barely 5/10

meric316 i was talking about build not height. Lang in Avatar had so much muscle

***** because the child of two Americans would have an Austrian accent

harry scott​ Why not? Maybe that's just future English! I mean the kid grew-up 2-THOUSAND-years in the future, do you know how much English has evolved in the last thousand years!

+l3ng3ndaryl1nk Nope. Marvel just leaves this paradox open. What's really gonna blow your mind is that every time cable appears in Marvel's stories, they just say that this appearance was during his journey into the past to stop apocalypse.

+ComicsExplained Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhat!

+ComicsExplained. mind blown BOOOOOM!!!!

+cubbex shut up cubbex

so because of cables paradox and deadpools 4th wall breaks they make a perfect team , and also can anyone link a good chronological time line of the marvel 616 because alot that i find says read new avengers before disassembled but that dosent seem right

Cable is the Xmens version of The Punisher. Who sgree's?

Dats actually a really good pick for Cable! He's proven he can do a warrior in Clash of The Titans, and he can be great in action ( Hannibal Season 2. Watch it, it's fucking awesome when he fights ). The only problem I see with it is his accent, and his build.

+Sean Hickey his build is just about right and I think the accent would add to the character rather than take away besides he's supposed to be from the future it could be explained that in that time languages merged like in blade runner I think his serious tone would play very well with deadpools outlandish nature and its impossible to look at the man and not see a bad ass

+Jerry Wheatley Unless he is Cable in the upcoming Dr.Strange...cross that one off. Please no more same dudes playing different hero/villains

+nikki lafleur I didn't know he was in Dr strange but since their two different studios I can't see why he couldn't Chris Evans played human torch and captain America same guy that played valstag in Thor also played punisher in war journal McAvoy played in wanted and prof X in the last two and up coming Xmen movies we had two different Quicksilvers in two different marvel movies released by two different studios in the same year unless he just doesn't want to do it or fox doesn't want him to I can't see why he can't he'd be perfect for the part

Kaecilius bro

No, but it's informative. I got a feeling you don't really like learning too much stuff at once. Don't be late to your mensa meeting.

+Mister Brown informative, but irrelevant to the topic. Ok, I'll be heading out to my meeting now.

+Alan Mendez Those details are precursors to the creation of Cable. Showing little history and building blocks to characters. The fact that that's what you have to comment on kind of tells me you're probably a little insecure on the idea of feminism than you actual content presented. It's just information. It shouldn't be that offensive or you shouldn't be even the slightest sensitive to it.

aeris44 im not at all... all I was saying was that the information regarding that has no significant importance to the cable character... so rather than be a fanboy trying to jump to conclusions and ready to defend the fandom actually learn that that was boring and useless information, nor was I offended nor feel sensitive to it... and you're right a little history doesnt hurt.... but only when its relevant, that was more to a history building block to the Jean Grey or her cloned character rather than Cable. so you got schooled there buddy

Mister Brown dont know what a mensa meeting is but that whole crap was completely irrelevant despite it being useless information to the cable character

+Alex Jean Charkes Ahh but you see i am first i just time traveled to here from the past.
