Here's something I was wondering for a while... Cable showed up as the leader of New Mutants/X-force.
Then there was a twist that Cyclops sent his kid to the future...
Later it was turned out to that Cable WAS the kid... Ok, that's the quickest and easiest explaination for that twisted origin.
What I'm wondering about, is some of the behind the scenes stuff. I never cared for Cable or X-force back in the day, were there any hints dropped? Was that always intended to be his origin?
I seem to remember somewhere that he lost his powers and it shutdown his cybernetic arm.... Only to find out a decade later that it was techno-organic and he used his powers to keep it in check... So that was one major retcon right there...
Anyone else have some good background on how he was created?
