We're left to wonder if this is taking place in the future or in an alternate reality. However, a data page after Cable's reintroduction offers some possible clues as to what is taking place. Titled "The Hunt," the data page appears to be the first entry in Cable's log detailing pertinent information on his mysterious hunt.
Cable writes about rooting out the legion of demons on Earth and chasing them off-world. Also, the demons have taken hostages along with them, which are understandably Cable's top priority. But it is the final line in the log that immediately catches our attention. The words "inferno" and "Hellfire" may be clues for a return to the X-Men's "Inferno" crossover event.
The story arc ran through the X-Men family of titles and centers on Madelyne Pryor's transformation into the Goblin Queen, as well as Limbo bleeding over into the Earth.
We could be looking at history repeating itself if Old Man Cable decides it is time to hunt down his young counterpart, in a reversal of the events in Extermination.

Cable took Kane to Applecrust, in the future, where they were able to enhance his cybernetic prosthetics. Wishing to repay everyone who ever wronged him, Stryfe posed as Cable himself and publicly made an assassination attempt on Professor Charles Xavier , founder of the X-Men. Stryfe also asked Mr. Sinister to kidnap Scott and Jean, in exchange for the Summers' Family genetic material.
Unaware of the current events, Cable returned to his Safehouse 14, and was informed, by Professor. Determined to stop Stryfe, Cable broke into the Canadian Department K , to learn about Stryfe's whereabouts, and battled Wolverine and Bishop , looking for information on Cable. After deciding to work together, Cable teleported the trio to Graymalkin, where they deduced that Stryfe was on Apocalypse's old moon base.
After being told to return to the X-Mansion, the trio decided to go-on ahead and battled the Mutant Liberation Front's soldiers and the Dark Riders. After Cannonball berated Cable for leaving X-Force, the heroes walked into an energy barrier that only Cable and Havok could enter. Inside the barrier, Stryfe explained to Cable that the reason that they looked similar was because Cable was a clone of Stryfe, who was the son of Scott and Jean.
Cable and Stryfe had a climactic battle on the moon and Cable created a machine, from pieces in his cybernetic arm, which Cyclops activated, sucking Cable and Stryfe into a time vortex. Cable survived, while Stryfe's body was annihilated. Cable's body was found in the time-stream, by agents of Tyler, and restored, but Stryfe's consciousness was projected into Cable's own mind and slowly took control, after Cable returned to Earth.
However, only one of them were capable of being in control, at any given time, and only when a specific frequency alignment occurred could one dominate the other. The first signs of Stryfe's influence was that Cable grew a goatee and shaved the sides of his head. After battling their way to the core, Cable requested to speak to the Professor on Graymalkin and the computer announced that Graymalkin did not exist where it once was.
After finding Graymalkin, Cable decided to follow Kane into the core and stop whoever used the Tinex last. Cable and Kane returned to the present at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean , where the TDC had been left after Graymalkin had been destroyed. Cable assumed that he must be Stryfe's clone, as Stryfe was more powerful. After powering-up the TDC, Cable deduced that it was on Earth and therefore they could body-slide anywhere on the planet only.
After returning to Safehouse 14, G. Bridge agreed to help Cable find X-Force, after arguing. After Six Pack agreed to leave him, Domino stayed with Cable and met X-Force, giving them an explanation of who he was.
Cable revealed he was the clone of Scott's son that had been sent into the future and Stryfe was the actual son. While at the gravesite of Madelyne, Mr. Sinister revealed to Cable that he created her and that Cable was the original Nathan Summers. Sinister then fired a blast at Cable, stating that he wanted to make him stronger, and Stryfe asserted full control over Cable's mind. Now aware that Tyler was in-fact, Mr. Tolliver, Stryfe intended to start his revenge with him. Tyler began to tell Stryfe what he had recently learned himself, that Stryfe was the clone, but Stryfe did not believe him.
After Stryfe destroyed the form of Askani, Tyler used her memories to show Stryfe the truth of his origins, using his mutant power to give memory physical projection. Through the combined efforts of Jean and Professor X, Askani pleaded with Stryfe to leave and Stryfe, knowing that all hopes of curing the Legacy Virus would die with him, simply gave-up and expelled himself from Cable's mind.
Tyler escaped unseen and Cable left Scott with unresolved issues, only wanting to know about his mother before he left. During the night of his bachelor party, Scott was alerted that there was an intruder in the Danger Room. It turned out to be Cable, going through a hologram of when he was given to the Askani by his father. Originally put-off by Scott's eagerness to relinquish his son forever, Cable came to respect his father after seeing a hologram of Scott's response after his decision and a brief battle with X-Cutioner over the body of comatose Emma Frost.
On the eve of Scott and Jean's wedding, Cable and Cyclops reconciled. Tyler was eventually killed by Wolverine when Tyler attempted to re-bond Wolverine's body to Adamantium , but the process failed and Wolverine briefly entered a feral state.
Tyler's death at the hands of Wolverine caused a rift between the two, but they later reached an understanding. After this time, Cable experienced a marked increase in his telekinetic abilities, and the reemergence of his latent telepathic abilities. He overextended himself during an encounter with Nate Grey.
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 Richards.
During the Psi-War, Cable's powers were severely weakened. Blaquesmith helped him against a dangerous cult that had warped the Askani teachers. While there, Cable found a 'Psimitar' weapon that let him channel his remaining psionic power.
After Cable and Madelyne battled their way inside of a pyramid, Stryfe was inside and had captured X-Man , whose psychic powers Stryfe was absorbing. After Nate went back in, Nathan followed and, with Madelyne, battled Stryfe. After Cable barely saved Nate and the two fled the pyramid, Madelyne began to consider Stryfe's plans of world domination, but it was revealed that she was absorbing Stryfe's psychic energies to empower Nate.
Angry, Stryfe began to attack Madelyne, Nate used Doctor Doom 's power siphoning device to negate Stryfe's pyramid's siphoning, and Stryfe was seemingly killed in the resulting explosion. The assassination of Senator Robert Kelly despite his best efforts and witnessing the death of his close friend Moira MacTaggert greatly troubled Cable. After a chat at Moira's grave on Muir Island with Ororo Munroe, she recognized he was repressing his anger and grief over the loss of Moira.
When he returned to New York, Nightcrawler and Ororo staged an intervention in a cemetery to help him confront his grief and accept Moira's death. Confronting his feelings, Cable decided that he would think everything over, and decide whether or not he would remain with the X-Men, or focus his efforts elsewhere for awhile. Ororo told him to take his time, assured him that he would always be one of them, and that he could count on them anytime he needed. Cable was finally able to destroy Apocalypse with the help of Jean Grey, running the villain through with his Psimitar after he was split from Cyclops, fulfilling his destiny and saving his father.
However, Cable continued his mission feeling that the future was still not safe. Cable was briefly trapped between two possible futures based upon an assassination attempt on Randall Shire. Cable saved Shire, but also revealed that his campaign was a fallacy, thus preventing both futures. On this mission, Cable was helped by a mutant named Clarity. Clarity soon revealed the Dark Mother and a family of female psychics called the Dark Sisterhood.
They alleged that they were responsible for ensuring that enough powerful psychics would be bred to ensure their dominance through the centuries including Jean Grey. The Sisters used their powers for criminal activity, hoping to usurp the world. Cable, G.
Bridge, and the recently returned Rachel Summers defeated the Sisters and destroyed their collection of data. The release of the Legacy Virus cure weakened the techno-organic virus. This allowed Cable the opportunity to reach inside himself and remove the T-O virus from his system. Cable and Deadpool began operating together, not by choice, after Deadpool was hired by One World Church to steal a virus which would allow the Church to turn everyone on Earth blue.
At this time Cable was trying to decide what to do with his newfound power to help the world and through the actions of the Church, and others seeking the virus, he discovered their plot. After fighting one another they were infected by the virus and merged together, Cable was able to seperate them and then took control of the virus, using it to temporarily turn the entire world's population pink.
Cable took credit for then reversing this event and was a hailed as a "Saviour". Cable then achieved the peak of his powers. Knowing this could not last long before he burned out as X-Man almost did at those power levels, he arranged for what he thought would be the best thing he could do in his last days. Attempting to unite the world, Cable gathered the missing pieces of his long-destroyed space station, Graymalkin, from across the globe to telekinetically create the floating island of Providence above the South Pacific Ocean.
Cable also restored a variation of his time displacement core, TDC, the teleport matrix, which enabled him to teleport around the world. Although, forgetting that they had merged on a genetic level, meant that the teleportation matrix on board registered Cable and Deadpool as one and they would teleport merged together, unless they remembered to bodyslide by two.
Cable accepted anyone and everyone to live in his separate floating island. Several thousand of the world's greatest minds, from scientists to philosophers, philanthropists to writers, accepted Cable's invitation.
Cable attempted to bring peaceful Clan Askani solutions to his people. Although his intentions were just, the governments of the world and S.
After Cable teleported to the S. Helicarrier and demanded the governments of the world destroy their arms, the American government sent jets and fired two hundred and forty-seven missiles, which Cable stopped with a telekinetic shield and funneled out of Earth's atmosphere. Meanwhile, Cable, hired Deadpool to put together the pieces of a mini-teleporter that they could use to stop him, without quite knowing what it was. Next, the X-Men were sent, but after Cable spoke with his father, the battle stopped.
Cable confessed to Cyclops, after Deadpool had declined to play his role and disable him, that he'd wanted him to kill him and that he knew he was about to burn out. Cable stated that he wanted to set an example of how the world could work together, even if it was against him.
At that moment, Fury contacted Mr. Fantastic and asked the Silver Surfer to stop Cable. The battle between Cable and the Silver Surfer vaporized sections of Providence, but they put it back together at the same time. After the Surfer blasted much of Cable's left side off, Providence began to fall. As Providence prepared to crash into the ocean, Deadpool teleported Cable to Safehouse 14 and, at his prompting, used the teleporter to lobotomize him.
Marvel Girl began to lower the island, but Cable regained control and lowered the island into the ocean and give a final message to the world. While he was left in a coma and with many people around the globe now referring to him as "the Savior" and applications to immigrate to Providence going through the roof, Deadpool hired the Fixer to bond benign techno-organic mesh to Cable, saving him although he remains hugely de-powered. Shortly thereafter, Cable vanished in killing a mutant-hunting beast called the Skornn at the head of a reformed X-Force.
At roughly the same time, Deadpool, having been brainwashed by a supervillain information broker called the Black Box to kill the "Greatest Threat to Mankind", teleported to Providence to find and kill Cable, who he perceived as the greatest superhuman threat.
Subconsciously needing to find Cable in order to fulfill his programming, Deadpool suggested they use his teleportation-link with Cable to find him and Forge constructed a harness to allow the two X-Force members to follow him.
They then proceeded to travel through three alternate worlds, Earth where Cable had become War ; a horseman of Apocalypse, one where Brother Nathan had succeeded in his messiah-like mission and had become a benevolent dictator where even mild indigestion was immediately dealt with through outside help , and one where a Phalanx Cable had become the central consciousness of a Phalanx infestation of Earth.
Finally, they landed in the House of M reality and found an infant Cable being raised by the marginalized Mister Sinister HoM on a farm. Sinister used an extract from Deadpool 's immune system to accelerate Cable's physical development; however, this also caused Cable's powers to almost immediately manifest, and the infant Cable lashed out indiscriminately with his new-found telekinesis.
Before Mister Sinister HoM could regain control over Cable, Deadpool grabbed the baby and teleported seconds before the world reverted from the House of M reality to the normal Marvel universe. Since the pair were in transit when the reversion occurred, Cable was unaffected and thus was still a child as Deadpool returned with him to Providence. There, when Forge ran tests and discerned that the child was, in fact, the real Cable, Deadpool's brainwashing kicked in once more and he attempted to kill Cable.
Siryn and Cannonball delayed him until Deadpool shot himself in the head. As Cable rapidly aged back into mid-childhood, he read Deadpool's mind and found who had brainwashed him. As X-Force went to confront the Black Box, Cable decided that to he wanted to have his memory restored and to cure Deadpool's brain damage, even though it would once more cost him his powers. He succeeded, although X-Force found only a LMD Black Box at his base and he soon returned to his original age, whereupon his accelerated aging stopped.
Cable also revealed that he was the one responsible for Apocalypse's post House of M revival, stating that the Mutant community needed a powerful threat to Rally against. Believing that the X-Men would inevitably defeat Apocalypse yet again bringing the remaining Mutant community together, Cable judged "the risks worth the rewards". Cable was active in Rumekistan 's revolution and allied himself with Captain America in opposing the Superhuman Registration Act.
Cable was betrayed and shot in the back of the head by Deadpool in the sewer system of the country of Rumekistan. Cable was left outside of the sewer because, as Deadpool stated "Even I wouldn't leave a guy in a sewer. Bridge, Solo , Anaconda and Hammer with the intent on freeing them later, and taking on Domino as his lover once again. He had a meeting with Captain America and offered him sanctuary, but when Captain America refused his offer, he joined his 'Secret Avengers'.
He left the Secret Avengers after the death of Goliath. Cable seemingly died when Gambit and Sunfire detonated Providence. Cable actually survived, and resurfaced in possession of the first mutant baby girl to be born after M-Day. The X-Men, Marauders, and Purifiers had been seeking the child. In the end Cable convinced Cyclops to allow him to take the baby into the future. Even in the future Bishop was able to track them down, but Cable escaped with the help of a future Sam Guthrie.
Cable took refuge in the future in the secluded safe haven of New Liberty, where Cable got married to a resident named Hope, who later died defending the child. Cable decided to name the child Hope , in honor of her deceased stepmother.
Hope and Cable were separated in time, appearing in the same spot but in different years. When Cable touched down from the spot, he appeared two years after Hope, and was steadily losing control of his body due to the techno-organic virus within him.
It altered his appearance so much that Hope didn't register Cable's face. Eventually, Bishop, using his code-name as a way to portray himself as a holy figure, gained on them, and Cable and Hope commandeered the last ship the planet had, the Ensahabnur I, with Cable posing as Stryfe.
Cable forced Hope to abandon Emil, the boy who had helped her survive undetected for two years, leaving Hope distraught. Bishop, armed with a thermonuclear device in the stump of his arm, set out to make his own ship, knowing it would only be a matter of time.
At some point during their journey Hope accidentally betrayed Cable and he was imprisoned. Bishop and Emil eventually caught up to Cable and Hope on the last ship to leave earth, Emil under the impression that Cable had kidnapped Hope and Bishop was her true father. Bishop was also armed with a thermonuclear device which he planned to activate as soon as he saw Hope.
During Bishop's invasion the Brood , attracted to Hope's power, attacked both ships, distracting Bishop. Cable and Bishop both fought the Brood, Cable being swallowed by an Acanti , but escaping by using it's rib as a sword and cutting it's insides, forcing the Acanti to regurgitate him. Hope and Emil made their way to the ships two terraforming pods, which would facilitate their escape. Emil placed Hope in the pod against her will as she refused to leave Cable.
As Emil was preparing the second pod Cable appeared and Emil gave the second pod to Cable, sacrificing his own life.
After Cable and Hope had left Emil obtained Bishops thermo-nuclear weapon, detonating moments before he could be attacked by a Sleazoid. However Bishop escaped by allowing himself to be absorbed by an Acanti, and two years later he had tracked Hope and Cable in cryosleep within their terraforming pods.
When the now teenaged Hope wanted to return to the past, Cable reluctantly agreed. They managed to make it back to the present, only to be attacked by Bastion 's Human Council. Hope escaped with Rogue, and Cable fought alongside the X-Men once more. Cable later sacrificed his life to bring Wolverine and his X-Force team Archangel , Cypher , X , and Domino to San Francisco in year by stepping into the time portal that Bastion was using to send his Nimrod Class Sentinels to the aforementioned year which only allows technological entities to pass through and destroys anything remotely organic and finally allowing his techno-organic virus to finally and fully infect him.
But the strain of holding the portal to bring the team safely home allowed the techno-organic virus to take hold of him causing him to explode and thus killing him, leaving only his left techno-organic arm behind. But in fact, Cable had escaped into the future, where he met Blaquesmith , who told him that the world collapsed because the Avengers killed Hope.
Together they went to the Avenger's Mansion where they found anti-mutant technology, suggesting that the Avengers had clashed with the X-Men. They then returned to the present in order to hunt the Avengers down to prevent them from killing Hope, before the virus finally consumed Cable. Although he managed to defeat several Avengers, he was eventually taken down and brought to Utopia by Cyclops. There Blaquesmith convinced Hope to cure him which she did by absorbing the virus into herself and destroying it with the Phoenix flames, thus finally curing Cable of the techno-organic virus.
On the astral plane Cable made Cyclops promise that he would do whatever it took to protect Hope when the Avengers would come for her, and promised him his help in the coming war. After the war between the Avengers and the X-Men, Cable awoke from his coma and left Utopia, leaving Hope a note telling her not to follow him. He tracked down Forge, who had gone mad and was presumed dead, and used his telepathic powers to create a psychic scenario that allowed Forge to repair the damage to his psyche, curing him of his insanity.
Cable had begun receiving visions of disasters, and needed Forge as part of a team to stop these events from coming to pass. Having had visions of the future again featuring Wade shooting a world renowned scientist in the middle of a crowded street, Cable came upon Deadpool in his Subway station abode when he was with his succubus wife, Queen Shiklah.
When asked why he should trust the stranger's doom threats, Cable revealed himself stating he's never been wrong before, greatly surprising Wade. With most if not all of his powers and natural capabilities crippled due to long years of bad road mileage coupled with the loss of his techno-organics, Nate was significantly slower in his fully organic years however, enabling Deadpool to easily subdue him.
However, he was adamant in his premonitions received and that was enough for Wade to believe him. While on the stakeout watching over Weathers, Nathan commented that he didn't know who he was anymore; only for Wade to gloatingly state that he was now more popular than Cable used to be in his day.
Nathan simply asks how marriage is going for the cloudcuckoolander to which the latter replies all the drawbacks of which ecstatically, saying he also has a daughter now and he couldn't be happier. Nathan also noticed he was wearing an equally clunky Time Harness and told Wade to damage it's capacitor to prevent his accessing to the temporal stream.
Soon after more brawling Deadpool's gun went off and instead of killing Weathers like he predicted Cable was horrified to find Wade went and executed his youngest son by mistake instead. After grabbing at the assassin resulting in his getting kicked away, he and Wade were shunted back through time nearly 70 seconds just before he started attacking, after another failed attempt in which a pizza boy was killed in Wade's clumsy antics.
After it was suggested that the duo override Spit Second's Temporal Harness and that Wade keep him distracted, the latter retorted what he has been doing, only to repeat the process again. This time Cable remembered how Wade ended up killing someone and went about opening a full-on barrage of laser fire and missiles the very minute Split Second entered the scene only for things to go horribly wrong in some nutty, zany way or another.
Cable and Deadpool were hurled across the space-time continuum; just after Cable noted the hole in his soul. Afterwards, Deadpool had a host of numerous time-tossed adventurers where he was tasked by the Temporal Adjudicator to terminate the various incarnations of the now mentally-broken Nathan Summers.
Eventually, this culminated in a battle with Loop who ended up taking his place as the Time Variance Authority's chronoagent, due to the localized paradox caused by Split Second's tampering with the time stream crippling Nathan's psyche because of it, sending ripples throughout his own history threatening to unravel the universe as a result.
