Background:
The man known as Cable was born to Scott Summers, the X-Man known as Cyclops, and his then-wife Madelyne Pryor. Soon after Nathan was born, Scott's first love, Jean Grey, returned after being believed dead. Scott left Madelyne and baby Nathan, whom Madelyne had left in the care of relatives so that she could journey with the X-Men. After Madelyne and the X-Men were believed to be killed in Dallas by the Adversary (they were actually relocated to Australia and made invisible to sensory equipment by Roma), Scott retrieved his son and returned with him to his new team, X-Factor. Madelyne was captured by the being known as Mister Sinister who revealed her true history to her. Madelyne was a clone of Jean Grey that Sinister created to seduce Scott Summers and produce a child that Sinister would control. Pryor became aware of her latent telekinetic and telepathic abilities, and became the Goblin Queen.

The Goblin Queen, in an effort to keep a portal between Earth and the demon-infested dimension of Limbo open, kidnapped baby Nathan to use as a sacrifice. Nathan was rescued by a combined effort of the X-Men and X-Factor, and Pryor was believed to be killed by Jean Grey (a representation of Madelyne has since returned to life). Soon after his rescue, Nathan was infected with a techno-organic virus by Apocalypse. As the virus spread through Nathan's body, threatening to turn Nathan into a body of liquid metal and organic steel, a member of the Clan Askani appeared from 2000 years in the future to Cyclops, saying Nathan would become a savior in their time, and that the Clan would cure him of the virus.

Choosing to save his son's life, believing that he would never see him again, Cyclops agreed, and Nathan was taken 2000 years into an alternate future. In this future, Nathan was raised to be the Askani'son who was promised to rid the future world of the rule of Apocalypse and the New Canaanites. Mother Askani created a clone of Nathan since she believed that Nathan would not survive due to the techno-organic virus which was consuming him. The clone was stolen by the Canaanites who were unaware that a clone had been made, and grew to become the madman known as Stryfe. Nathan was raised by two people who called themselves Slym and Redd, who were actually the newly married Cyclops and Phoenix whose souls had traveled into the future and inhabited new bodies. During this time, Nathan discovered how to use his telekinetic abilities to hold back the techno-organic virus, but the virus had already spread to the left side of his body, giving it a cybernetic appearance. After the teenage Nathan used his powers to defeat Apocalypse, Cyclops and Phoenix's souls returned to their own time.

During his time in the future, Nathan met and married Aliya, a member of Clan Askani, whose clan name was Jenskot in honor of Cyclops and Phoenix. Together they had a son, Tyler. Soon after, Aliya was killed and Tyler was taken by Stryfe and brainwashed into doing his bidding. In an incident to save hostages, Cable was forced to shoot his own son, who managed to survive. As part of his mission as the Askani'son, Cable returned to the 20th century to foil the plans of Apocalypse and Stryfe, who had also returned to that time and formed the Mutant Liberation Front.

Nathan, now calling himself Cable, formed a mercenary group called the Wild Pack, later known as the Six Pack, which included the future X-Force member known as Domino. After the Six Pack was decimated in an assault on one of Stryfe's hidden bases, Cable, greatly injured, returned to the future. In the future Cable discovered records that stated Sam Guthrie, the New Mutant known as Cannonball, existed into at least the 23rd century. Cable believed Sam Guthrie would be the next in a group of immortal mutants known as Externals. Cable returned to the present to take command of the New Mutants and guide Guthrie's ascension into the Externals. Cable reorganized the New Mutants into a strike force called X-Force and led them into battle against such foes as Stryfe, who had also traveled to the 20th century.

Stryfe attempted to assassinate Professor Charles Xavier and, believing himself the real son of Cyclops, kidnapped Cyclops and Phoenix in retaliation for their supposedly abandonment of him as an infant, taking them to his base on the moon. During the rescue of Cyclops and Phoenix, Cable and Stryfe fell into a temporal rift, and both were believed to be destroyed. Cable survived the rift, but Stryfe's body was destroyed and his consciousness entered Cable's body, where it currently remains. For a time Stryfe's consciousness dominated Cable's, but Cable has since regained control. Cable returned to the present and to X-Force, giving them an explanation of who he is. It was revealed soon after that Cable is indeed the son that Scott had sent into the future, and Stryfe was the clone. Cable and Cyclops have since reconciled.

After this time, Cable experienced a marked increase in his telekinetic abilities, and the reemergence of his latent telepathic abilities. As a result, Cable began to lose more of his body to the techno-organic virus. As a result of the entity known as Onslaught hampering all psionic ability, Cable was beginning to succumb to the techno-organic virus, but was healed by his own willpower and the assistance of the young Franklin. By this time, Genesis had already tried to put the adamantium back in Wolverine´s bones. Logan rejected the "offer" and killed Tyler, making the relation between him and Cable even worse.

Not so long after, Nathan met his mother, Madelyne Pryor, who had been resurrected by Nate Grey when he arrived on our Earth. She claimed that even with all the madness she made him go through, she still loved him, saying that you can never turn your back on your mother. Ch´Vayre, ordered by Sancticity, allied with Sebastian Shaw so he could awake Apocalypse once again. Ch´Vayre mission was to force Cable and the High Lord face for the last time.

Cable saved a reporter, called Irene Merryweater from Shaw´s forces, and asked her if she could take notes of his life and fights, so if he died, his legacy would not be forgotten. She accepted, and both of them went in an adventure to prevent the Inner Circle to awake Apocalypse.

Even with the Chosen´s one best efforts, Apocalypse awoke, but disappeared. After this Cable had an adventure in Wakanda and felt the psionic wave. In a mission to find Blaquesmith (who turned out alive), Cable lost his telepathy and telekinetic. After this, he managed to get his psimitar from a group of followers. Moving to the Hell´s Kitchen to get in touch with humanity, Cable tried to adapt with his lost abilities. But when Agent 9 (sent by S.H.I.E.L.D.) tracked him down, he was defeated. But with the help of Blaquesmith, Cable recovered his telekinesis and escaped S.H.I.E.L.D.

Some time after, he saw the rebirth of Stryfe, but managed to defeat him with the help of Nate Grey and Madelyne Pryor. Afterwards, his father was joined with Apocalypse after a botched effort to kill Cable's greatest enemy. Cyclops himself was presumed dead, and Cable joined the X-Men to take his father's place, complete the legacy complete with Cyclop's visor integrated into his uniform. Jean and him soon went on a quest, which freed Scott from Apocalypse and destroyed the evil war lord once and for all.

Cable did some soul searching afterward. This included stopping genocide in Armenia, getting rid of guerillas in South America, and staying out of SHIELD's sight. He also, through deep meditation over several days, managed to expunge the virus from his body. Now his telekinesis is unbridled. The scars and the damage already done remains.
