I haven’t read any of the Messiah War stuff, but when the trades come out, I’m sure I’ll pick it up.
This is a take on Cable from a couple of years ago near the end of Messiah Complex, moreso than the current version where the techno-organic virus is eating him up and definitely not during the period when he got his telepathy and telekinesis levels back up to Nate Grey levels. Although I do want to do that version some time. He’s at the point where his powers have burned out and he is using some tech to simulate them. But by and large, he’s the gun toting badass warrior that helped change, then ruin, then ultimately save comics forever.
In my setting, he and some of the other less moral X-Men form the Black Team, my version of X-Force (that will be a separate group outside of the X-verse umbrella) who take of mutant issues that need permanent, or at least very violent, solutions.
