    Default Post-AvX Cable speculation

    I'm not a huge Cable fan, but I've been interested in where the character would end up after X-Sanction. Last we saw him he was cured of his T-O virus. But on the promo image he is shown with an eyepatch and his metallic arm.

    Maybe the virus was only in remission?

    The virus was cured, but its debatable where his power levels were at that time. Before Xsanction he was depowered to a great degree, and now he lies in a healing coma with no traces of the virus in his system. So when he wakes up he could either be ultra powered or severlely weakened, or even have no powers left. The eyepatch covers what was scar tissue around his eye from the virus, but since his other eye doesnt have the tk glow he may just be a soldier with limited tk ability.

    Depending on who is writing this I will probably pick it up, particularly as several other titles I collect are being cancelled. I've always like Cable and have been waiting to see what happens to him without the T/O virus.

    Sadly if he does get a new series it will probably get cancelled after a dozen issues at most.

    Since he has a new metallic arm, perhaps it's a prosthetic and he looses his real arm in AvX.

    When they first introduced Cable, I thought that the arm and eye were supposed to be just be bionic and have nothing to do with a TO virus, this is before they decided to make him Cyclops and Jean Grey's son, etc, so it would be interesting if he ended up with a bionic arm
    after all.

    When they first introduced him the arm and eye were just bionic. The T-O virus came later, after the retcon that he was actually Scott and Madelyne Pryor's son who was sent to the future. I guess someone at Marvel at the time decided to connect those dots...
