The time travel story line has become the tired five dollar hooker of the comics industry – a cheap, re-usable trope with a happy ending that’s rarely, if ever, achieved. *In the interest of total honesty, this is also the only Cable story I've ever read.more So if time travel is a no-go for you, you'll want to avoid this one.Īnd while I can't say it's the BESTEST Deadpool story I've ever read, I can say it's the absolute best* Cable story I've ever read! The plot revolves around these two pals looping around in time, and eventually through alternate timelines, blah, blah, blah. Which, as Deadpool points out, since he's from the future, just means he has the power of being good at history.Īfter that initial first issue the story really picked up (imho), and I flew through the rest of it. Ok, because metal arms aren't technically considered a superpower, he also has these flashes of the future. Hell, Bucky makes that shit work! Just sayin.

Which left him with the power of having a metal arm. But who doesn't like learning new things?Īpparently, Cable's mutant power was time travel and telekinesis. Yeah, admittedly, I knew nothing about this character beforehand. Mayhaps they originally met at Pouch-mart? Maybe he chewed it off to escape an elaborate trap!? Not exactly what I'm hoping for when I grab a DP comic, you know what I mean?Īnd maybe part of the problem is that Cable was a thing before I started really getting into comics, so I don't know much about him other than the bare bones stuff.ġ) He's the son of Jean Grey Madelyn Pryor (JG's clone) & Scott Summers.įrom some alternate future timeline.I think. In fact, I read the first issue, put it down, and didn't come back for almost 2 weeks. The beginning was kind of slow, so it didn't grab me right away. What Anne Knows: 1) He's the son 3.5 stars

Not exactly what I'm hoping for when I grab a DP comic, you know what I mean? Yeah, of course you know! And maybe part of the problem is that Cable was a thing before I started really getting into comics, so I don't know much about him other than the bare bones stuff. 3.5 stars The beginning was kind of slow, so it didn't grab me right away.
