Profile
General:
The son of Cyclops
and Madeline Pryor, Cable was infected with a techno-organic virus by Apocalypse.
Lacking a cure, Cyclops agreed to send the infant Nathan into the future,
where the virus would be treated. Cable grew up several thousand years
in the future, where he became a mercenary and skilled fighter. He possesses
his mother's telepathic and telekinetic abilities, which he uses to keep
the virus from spreading. He also possesses a bio-metallic arm, which is
invulnerable. As an adult, he traveled back to the 20th century, where
he formed and led the group X-Force. He has been both a friend and an adversary
to the X-Men ever since.

Comment:
I've been a fan of
Cable since his first appearance in the X-men animated tv series. He's
always been a badass, and I was stoked when I heard he was confirmed for
Marvel VS Capcom 2. I wasn't surprised that he brought his guns along,
but everyone else at the arcade getting their ass kicked by my Cable seemed
to be. He was said to be the most unbalanced and cheapest character in
MvC2, and he might be, but he's not impossible to beat with lower tier
characters... I still like using him, and doing Hyper Viper Beams over
and over again. It never gets old for me.
