Nathan Summers and Nate Grey?

[Snoop Dogg]

The first one was a mistake and the second one was a much bigger mistake.

So I’ve seen this compared to Supergirl and Power Girl (which admittedly I only know the gist of there). Is that an apt comparison?

That's pretty much it.

I was thinking of this also.

Yes. It’s a perfect comparison. Power girl is essentially an older, more experienced version of Kara

They are half-brothers.

One thing I found odd is their difference in height. Cable is a massive 6'8" and Nate is a more average 5'10". I guess that's just another divergence in the timelines?

The height, although it has a genetic factor, also has an important environmental factor. Kaine is for example Peter Parker's clone but he is bigger and dumber.

Power Girl and Supergirl are also different in height, weight and build.

Can I just say this is one of the reasons I love comics?

Because this is one of those weird things that just don't happen anywhere else.

I feel like more literally, Cable is the biological son of Scott and Maddy and was born in the 616 timeline, and Nate is the IVF son of Scott and Jean (not a clone of Jean, that earth’s real Jean) created in a lab. Any of their differences can be explained away by their vastly different origins.

The real difference is their power levels since historically Cable has always been less powerful than Nate because he sacrifices so much of it to keep the technovirus at bay. Nate doesn’t have the technovirus so he can be a God

Sinister was obsessed with the Summers bloodline and surmised that any offspring of Summers and Grey would create an omega level mutant . Cable isn’t an omega level mutant by any means tho, I don’t think they’ve ever wanted to explore it because it would make him too similar to Nate.

Cable would be Omega if not for the virus. He has the same powers as Nate. That’s an environmental difference.

They have explored it a time or two. Once Cable even fought evenly with the Silver Surfer.

Pre- Hickman, Cable was omega and that is something that was explored. Check out the old Cable and Deadpool series

Nicieza's run I guess.

Yep. He used his TK to keep an entire island floating in mid-air, he held Scott's optic blasts in check and fought the Silver Surfer
