"If this is my last war...then I know I've found the only cause worth dying for..."

- Cable

Cable is a Marvel Comics superhero, most commonly affiliated with the X-Men. He has appeared in a variety of media, such as comics, animated tv-series and video games.

Origin
Cable was born to Scott Summers, leader of the X-Men, and his wife, Madelyne Pryor. When Cable was still an infant, he was infected with the techno-organic virus by the villain Apocalypse. This would have been a death sentence, had Cable's father not sent him to the far future, to be raised a messiah, who was the only one capable of defeating Apocalypse.

After growing to adulthood in this future, Cable would eventually return to his present. He formed "X-Force", a team of mutant heroes willing to go to extreme measures to protect mutantkind. He would also come to join the X-Men, and fought with his father and friends to make the world a better place for both man and mutant.

Personality
Cable is a gruff, no-nonsense kind of guy. He is an extremely competent leader, inspiring loyalty and admiration in those that would follow him. He does not shy away from doing what needs to be done, no matter the cost to his soul.

Powers and Abilities
Cable's mutant powers are telepathy and telekinesis, however, he is rarely able to use these powers due to the techno-organic virus infecting his body, since almost the full extent of his power is used to keep the virus from consuming his body.

Even after being cured of the virus, his powers were greatly limited. His telepathy was made to evolve into precognition, granting him visions of the future, and a limited knowledge of his immediate future.

Cable is a master of hand-to-hand combat and the use of weaponry, both modern and future. He is a gifted battle tactician, and a master of wet-works and black ops operations.
