Ok fill me in.
What happened to OG Cable?
The actual reason given was that OG Cable had gone soft and was not policing the timeline as well as he should be by allowing the O5 to stay in the present.
The out of universe reason is that they wanted to tell new stories with Cable without the baggage of OG Cable's connections. Which is dumb, but whatever.
I think some people are exaggerating. Most people love the original adult versions and they will come back, I'm sure old Cable will come back.
This happened already with Teen Jean, the original will come back, they just want to try a different version of the character for a while.
Given house of x's revelations, xavier should easily be able to resurrect old Cable in a young body and without the tech virus too. No explanation on why he hasn't already done so.
I could swear there was a period where Cable had the virus fully purged. I just can't remember when.
But yeah, Cable without it is basically Nate Grey. Although even Nate had a run in New Mutants, but they may have nerfed him there, I don't recall.
Anyway, I find Kid Cable interesting. The personality is clearly different, esp as of last week and it gives us a look at the Nathan that could've been. I like it.
