John Romita Jr. variant for Cable #1.

'Neck? Of course I have a neck. It's in one of my pouches...'

John Romita Jr. variant for Cable #1.

Not even my favorite JRJR rendering of Nathan, but it's a pretty damn classic one for sure.

This is ridiculous and I love it.

Same. I love "brick $#!thouse" Cable. Ha.

December Frost aka Winter was created back when Marvel was toying with making Bobby and Emma a couple(something that would have happened had Jay Faerber continued as the writer of Generation X). She was supposed to be their Great-grandchild or thereabouts(sliding timescale). I doubt she even exists anymore in the current continuity.

Orlando’s gone out of his way to emphasize that ALL previous 2099 stories are canon. December definitely still exists and it’s actually very easy to just tweak her intended origins so one of Christian Frost’s sisters donated an egg so he and Bobby could have a kid via surrogacy or something. *shrugs*

It's like when the first big snow of the season hits, and you're not sure when to stop adding layers...

I'm only aware of December because I've seen you talk about them before, but I wouldn't mind seeing the character show up in the current timeline just to throw a wrench into the Bobby and Romeo pairing, assuming Romeo survives the mini (he probably won't).

I don't usually like when artists homage that exaggerated '90s style, but I actually like that JRJr Cable cover. He used to be one of my favorite Iceman artists back in the day, would love to see how he draws Bobby now.

My motivations are incredibly basic lol. I just don't want Bobby always left out of the time-traveling surprise relatives shenanigans, because I feel he has among the MOST potential for hilarious reactions to news of surprise great-great-grandchildren particularly with people he didn't expect.

And imagine if he met a time-traveling December Frost JUST after having written off there being no real future with Christian and he's with Romeo now and now he's second-guessing THAT and he's like wait AM I destined to be with Christian apparently and Romeo and Christian then bond over the experience of having your futures be thrown into turmoil due to romantic proximity to a major X-Man with Plot Focus, and at the end of the time travel arc, December Frost, with much mischievousness and full awareness of the chaos her presence has unleashed on her Great-Grandpa Bobby's love life, waves to all three of them and is like bye Great-Grandpa Bobby, bye Great-Grandpa Christian, bye Great-Grandpa Romeo, and reveals that in her day, her great-grandparents were infamous for their 'ahead of its time' throuple relationship.

Bobby's indignant shriek: You mean you did all that just to mess with me and knew all along that actually the answer to 'which one do I end up with' is BOTH!?!?!

December: Yup! In my defense, it was VERY fun for me to watch you get all weird about it.

Christian & Romeo: And this would be why there was at least never the SLIGHTEST doubt about her being YOUR great-granddaughter, Bobby.

John Romita Jr. variant for Cable #1.

...I have no words.

[Digifiend]

Dazzler and Lila Cheney now have Earth-65 counterparts. Alison's rocking her classic disco look and does have her mutant powers. From Spider-Gwen Smash #1

Natasha there is Earth-65's counterpart of Black Widow by the way.

Yeah, she was almost exactly like 616 Dazzler to the point where I thought she and Lila were dimension-hopping for tours.

(Also there was another outfit where she was in a leotard and thigh-highs. Just saying).

John Romita Jr. variant for Cable #1.

Best thing he's drawn in decades. It's such an obvious parody, and it's great. I find it hilarious and quite telling that the only thing I have a problem with is the thick neck.

ETA: This is actually a reprint from a piece he did back in 1990

[Factor]

He’s dead. This is actually a reprint from a piece he did back in 1990

He's not dead. It may be a reprint, but the man is still alive and working.

What neck?

He drew that like 30 years ago. It’s not a new drawing. Just recolored and repurposed as a variant.

Here’s the original version…
