Cable is here to make out with Esme and shoot lightning out of his ass - and he’s all out of ass!
“Keep up the good work” from the Nixon-looking cop had me snorting tea out of my nose.

Well, we already have that character in Kid Omega. I guess Cable is a bigger brand name, hence making him a less annoying Kid Omega and giving him a solo series versus trying to make one happen with Omega.
Having said that, I would love for Kid Cable to replace Kid Omega on X-Force. Because even though he’s the teen version, a black ops squad consisting of Wolverine, Domino and Cable just freakin’ screams X-Force to its core. So I could deal with that, and would hopefully learn to appreciate this version of Cable in that role. With his Uncle Logan doing wetworks $#!t.
Is it just me or do the cuckoos do a complete reset in personality every time a new writer gets them?
Wasn't he the father of the missing kid?
I loved Emma and Scott's interaction with this issue. Kid Cable is a lot more fun than I was expecting, and more Cuckoos is always a good thing. It was weird that Esme (I think it was Esme)'s clothes also transformed into diamond along with the rest of her.
They can't, but the dead Thousand-In-One from Phoenix:Warsong (I think, not 100% sure) could use telepathy while in diamond form. The Cuckoos are basically the beta test version and weren't perfected - DNA has a lot of moving parts so I guess Sublime (or whoever else was behind that project) felt they needed to see what the girls would grow into to figure out what was missed in the genetic coding.
Dark does not mean deep.
Duggan messed up!
Paulie was killed off in the Weapon X series from the early 00s. This happened before House of M so he never lost his powers via the Scarlet Witch's spell. One might assume that he was brought back via the Resurrection protocols but that cant be so considering he is not a mutant and its mentioned that he hasnt been on Krakoa. I think Duggan didnt realize he was dead and just wrote him as being depowered since no one has used him
The one thing that might make sense is that this was not Paulie in this issue. He isnt called by that but instead Omerta. Omerta was a character from Alpha Flight that also hasnt been used in forever, coincidentally, also created by Lobdell
Yes they can
Its Emma that has that distinction, not them

So do we think Old Man Cable is stuck in this demon haunted purgatory because his younger fuckboi self Twinkle is gallavanting around keeping him out of resurrection protocols?
He’s in “another time and place” so I think it’s just Kid Cable once he grows up, now in an altered future. Possibly one caused by him sticking around here in this time period rather than going back to complete his destiny. Or maybe it’s just an alternate future because Dawn of X/Krakoa never happened in the timeline he hails from.
Enjoyed the issue. I do wish they had continued with the Cuckoos being more individuals by coloring their hair.... they kinda regressed..
