>>85633087I love how low-key amazing Nathan Summers is.
Grew up in one of the worst future published by Marvel (which is saying something), has been fighting a desperate war his entire life, and ends up in the past.
Does he go "oh wow i don't have to live off worms, horse piss and broken dreams here! I'll just chill, fuck the future"?
No, he fights our battles, he helps the X-Men, he trains new recruits, he keeps fighting - nobody asked him to, nobody would really mind if he stopped, people would understand if he's had enough, but he keeps going.
Apocalypse dies! Does he go off to the Savage Land to fuck dinosaurs and ride Shanna or whatever? No, he joins the X-Men full-time.
He gets rid of the TO virus that's plagued him his entire life. Does he decide enough's enough and write a tell-all memoir? No, he keep fighting and even starts his own actually utopic island nation that only falls apart due to foreign intervention. Dude created a perfect society just because he finally had free time.
Bishop wants to shoot a baby - does Cable remember fondly of how he had his first kiss under Apocalypse's Baby Mutilation Center? No, he takes the kid, jumps into the future, and spends TWENTY YEARS raising her with no resources, in progressively shittier circumstances, while being hunted by Bishop day and night. Just because he promised Scott he would.
Hope saves the mutant race! After all this time, does he finally take his place on Deadpool's couch to watch Bea Arthur eat a bunch of chimichangas or whatever the fuck the memes are? No, he starts a new X-Force team out of boredom and then joins the Avengers literally just because.
We all talk about Scott, but Cable is the guy who will do literally anything asked of him and never complain. And then in his free time will do more of that because he has no concept of personal happiness and exists only to fight the good fight.
Cable: would move all your couches for you and then buy you a meal.
