Name: Nathan Christopher Charles Summers<br/>Codename: Cable<br/>Orientation: Heterosexual<br/>Age: Time Travel is Weird. No one knows. (Estimated somewhere in his late 40s/early 50s)<br/>Height: 6'8"<br/>Weight: 350 lbs<br/>Affiliation: X-Force<br/>Face Claim:<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Josh Brolin</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.postimg.cc/mZ16WkXq/Cable.jpg)</div></div><br/><strong>Personality:</strong><br/><br/>Nathan is a stoic man who lives for the express purpose of seeing jobs through. He's a man with a cause and that cause is ensuring mutants have a bright future. He doesn't hate humans but he isn't above scaring the hell out of them if he thinks it will further the cause in the long run. And Cable is nothing if not a man considering the long game. His future is fresh in his mind and he doesn't want people living in a world like he came from. It is this knowledge and history that grants him the unyielding determination and resolve to do whatever must be done. He doesn't do anything halfway. Once he's committed he can be expected to follow that path to the bitter end. He does not fear death but he won't go silently.<br/><br/><strong>Appearance: </strong><br/><br/>Cable isn't a young man by any stretch. Well, he looks like he's older than he is too. His constant time travel and ordeals has left him looking like a rugged soldier who has fought in more than his fair share of wars. His most striking features are his eye, his metallic arm and shoulder, and the gun he pretty much never leaves home without. Cable's left eye is, and has been, infected with the Techno-Organic virus much like the rest of his body. This eye glows whenever he makes use of his powers making it generally obvious to those looking at him. His left arm and shoulder have been totally overtaken by the TO virus making them dense and strong. While they aren't quite as flexible as a normal human arm this arm is stronger and much more durable as a result of the metallic takeover. Lastly on his back, at any given time, Cable will have some manner of gun whether it's just big or bigger. He doesn't leave home unarmed. It just isn't his style. Otherwise he dresses practically for whatever situation he's in for.<br/><br/><strong>History: </strong><br/><br/>The history of Nathan Summers is one of confusion. To put it simply, as he would for those who ask him, he was born a few years ago. Then he was sent to the future, raised by a people known as the Askani, then raised by Redd and Slym (who he didn't know were actually Jean Gray and Scott Summers from another timeline), until he was an adult. And then he was trained for war out of necessity. In his future Apocalypse was the power at hand. He controlled things and eventually captured Redd. It was through use of his own powers that he managed to disrupt Apocalypse's plan and free his future for the time being. It was during this time he would meet his wife and father a child.<br/><br/>It's at this point, after earning the name Askani'Son, that things went sideways for Nathan Summers. His wife was killed and his son taken. The journey from there led him to the conclusion that the best way to save the future was to alter the past. So he went to do precisely that. Arriving in Scotland and making his way to Charles Xavier he was a man on a mission. A mission that would keep him going further and further. See, Cable did meet with Xavier eventually and he didn't see perfectly eye to eye with the man. He'd been through hell in his future and thinking that peace was going to come from politely asking humans for it was foolish in his mind. If there was an enemy of mutantkind out there then Cable knew it needed to be dealt with. There was no way to just leave it alone. It simply couldn't be done.<br/><br/>So, after a number of attempts with a mercenary group and other formations including a stint with the New Mutants, Cable eventually settled on forming the X-Force. A group of mutants and allies who understood that sometimes the best way to get something done was quietly and ruthlessly. Those who approach him with a level of understanding and pragmatism are put on the team. A team that will do the missions the rest of the X-Men are afraid to do.<br/><br/>And while there is more to Cable's story, and anyone who gets even this much out of him would know that, he's not sharing more any time soon. Knowledge of the future is a potentially dangerous thing. And he doesn't care to share anyways.<br/><br/><strong>Powers:</strong><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Currently Restricted Powers fighting the TO Virus</div><div class="spoiler_body">Telepathy: Ability read minds and project the thoughts of others.<br/><br/>-Telepathic Illusion: Ability to create realistic telepathic illusions and cause people to experience events which are not actually occurring.<br/>-Telepathic Cloak: Can mask his presence from being detected by others. Can extend these defenses to others around him as well. Cable's abilities can, at times, go undetected or be counteracted by other more powerful telepaths, depending on their level of skill in using their own psi abilities.<br/>-Mind Link: Ability to develop a mental link with any person, which remains as a connection to that individual.<br/>-Telepathic Camouflage: Ability to mask himself and other people's presence from those around him. Can telepathically disguise himself, making his appearance to those around his quite different (changing the appearance of clothing, as well as more involved disguising).<br/>-Mind Control: Ability to control the minds and even voluntary and involuntary bodily functions of sentient beings (such as other humans).<br/>-Mind Trap: Ability to take another person's mind from their body and effectively trapping that mind within his own.<br/>-Mind Possession: Ability to possess the mind of another, and use that beings body as your own.<br/>-Mind Alteration: Ability to alter the minds of others by force of will.<br/>-Mental Amnesia: Ability to cause loss of particular memories and amnesia in another person or even in a group of people.<br/>-Precognition: The ability to foresee events before they have even come to pass.<br/>-Psionic Shield: Ability to erect a psychic shield for protection of himself and of others minds. Cable has proven very difficulty to psychically assail, as he is very well skilled in shielding his own mind from mental-attacks (such as attempts to read, control or harm his own mind), and has been sufficient to protect himself from other psychics. His power was strong enough to break Onslaught's control over Hulk.[102]<br/>-Psionic Blasts: Can project psionic force bolts which have no physical effects but which can affect a victim's mind, so as to cause the victim pain or unconsciousness and can even kill an adversary.<br/>-Astral Projection: Ability to astral travel and communicate with others astrally through his own will or through contact with the thoughts and memories of others. In the Astral Plane, he can use his powers to create "ectoplasmic" objects. Cable has a mastery of astral projection, and is able to remain on his own plane of existence or to traverse into any of the so-called "Astral Planes".[103]<br/>-Mental Detection: Can sense the presence of another superhuman mutant within a large, but as yet undefined radius of himself, by perceiving the distinctive mental radiations emitted by such a being. At his peak, Nathan is strong enough to sense a stray thought a continent away.[104]<br/><br/>Telekinesis: Cable possesses high-level telekinesis enabling him to manipulate matter with the energy of his thoughts. Capable of very fine control over objects, including himself. On larger levels, Cable can levitate great weights, but his upper limit has remained undisclosed.<br/><br/>-Intuitive Aptitude: Can disassemble complex devices explosively (separating every last component, such as screws, nuts, circuit boards, etc.) and, just as quickly, easily assemble complex devices. This also has enabled him to even attain awareness and control over objects as small as individual electrons in an atom. For instance, Cable could detect if a seal was hermetic, or not, by checking for the presence of penetrating oxygen molecules. Can even detect and discern individual oxygen molecules, and determine the atomic weight of molecules, by the amount of atoms present.<br/>-Matter Alteration: Ability to alter molecular and subatomic structures, both in his own techno-organic components (though this may be a function of telekinesis, as opposed to a discreet superhuman power), and the very chemical valences in objects i.e. changing food into poison, moving oxygen molecules to cause asphyxiation, transforming a man into a hideous man-bat or even changing the dermal layer of another's hands into glowing algae.<br/>-Inorganic Disintegration: Several times Cable has show cased the ability to disintegrate objects by dissolving their atomic and molecular bonds.<br/>-Psionic Spikes: Ability to create destructive psionic spikes that destroy the physical objects that the spikes come into contact with.<br/>-Size Alteration: Has used his telekinesis to alter his physical stature to that of a towering giant, similarly to Apocalypse.<br/>-Telekinetic Healing: At the peak of his power as Soldier X, Nathan has showcased vast biological capabilities. Such as regenerating himself and/or healing others of malignancies or bodily damage at an accelerated rate. Like after getting shot in the head twice as well as healing his body after getting cut through by semi-automatic gunfire.<br/>-Force Fields: Ability to create protective force shields that could deflect even the most powerful of attacks (even filter bacteria from the air). The upper limits of this ability remain unknown, but it is believed that he could probably protect himself from harm at the ground zero detonation of a 1 kiloton nuclear warhead (4.18 terajoules of energy from the heat, concussion and radiation effects). Cable has also displayed such control over the fields as to shape them precisely, even to conform very closely to his body’s form. There does not appear to be any correlation between field strength and the thickness of the telekinetic fields.<br/>-Concussive Blasts: Can project telekinetic energies as powerful blast beams directed from his brain that could apparently affect matter with concussive force.<br/>-Tactile Telekinesis: Cable can use his telekinesis to enhance his already impressive physical practices to superhuman levels, enough to force a reversion of the hulk to one of his many personas with one blow.<br/>-Telekinetic Flight: By levitating himself, he can "fly" for very long distances and at varying speeds.<br/>-Telekinetic Teleportation: While uninhibited by the T.O. infection Cable shows the ability to warp himself from place to place even without his "bodysliding" -technology.<br/>-Remote Teleportation: So proficient in its use Nathan can warp people away remotely from anywhere across the world.<br/></div></div><br/>Telepathy and Telekinesis: While Cable doesn't have fully access to the entire suite of his true ability (shown above) he is still able to read minds of those nearby, mind blast people in the vicinity, telepathically protect his own mind, as well as use some measure of TK to lift and move people and objects. Any fine tuned use of these abilities is restricted unless the Techno-Organic Virus was somehow removed to the point he no longer needed to use his vast TP/TK to control the virus.<br/><br/>Techno-Organic Physiology: Much of Cable’s body has been infiltrated and altered by the techno-organic virus, which has taken the form of cybernetics and bionics, meaning he is a cyborg. The primary infection resides in Cable’s left side. As a consequence of his telekinetic guidance and his ability to control his own physical substance, Cable’s entire body has been heavily fortified, down to the cellular level, rendering superhuman strength to an unknown degree, as well as a superhuman level of resistance to physical harm. While he was injured in combat with the Hulk, the injuries were not nearly as severe as they should have been, especially in light of the fact that he was suffering from the effects of his techno-organic virus getting out of control. His entire skeletal structure has been replaced by porous, marrow-filled organic metalloid bone replacements that do not interfere with the creation of erythrocytes (red blood cells).<br/><br/>His entire Central Nervous System has been augmented by chemical changes down to the atomic level and by bio-computer enhancement, rendering his reaction time far above what is possible for a human being.<br/><br/>Superhuman Endurance: Cable possesses superhuman physical endurance, just as he does superhuman levels of mental endurance. He is capable of exerting himself at peak levels (fighting full-out, sprinting, etc.) for several hours, before fatigue begins to visibly impair his performance. He is also capable of going extended periods of time without sleep, being fully capable of fully resting with not much over an hour of sleep. However, whenever both possible and feasible, Cable still chooses to sleep for hours at a time (approximately 6 – 8), in order to dream. This high endurance has had other effects on his body, making even his soft tissues extremely durable, and more than up to the task of rendering him virtually immune to conventional firearms and conventional firearm munitions.<br/>Superhuman Speed: In spite of his great size and impressive build, Cable is literally fast enough to evade high-powered bullets in-flight (after they have been fired), and even has the ability to visually track rounds after they have been fired (though they are not easy to see, except through his cybernetic eye). This great speed is also visible in superhuman levels of dexterity and agility, including manual and pedal dexterity.<br/>Superhuman Agility<br/>Superhuman Dexterity<br/>Cybernetic Eye: This eye permits Cable to see deep into the EM (Electro-Magnetic) spectrum, and far deeper than any known 20th – 21st century technologies are capable of. It is also possible that through this eye, Cable is able to see the deployment of psionic energies, as well as the less exotic spectra of electromagnetic energies.<br/>Cybernetic Arm: His left arm is completely mechanical, and while Cable is ambidextrous, is his stronger arm, probably capable of allowing him to curl and dead-lift several tons, without assistance from his right arm. His right arm is also cybernetic, but far less so.<br/>Cybernetic Restoration: Through a combination of his telekinetic abilities, and his ability to rearrange the atomic structures of matter (including his own techno-organic matter), Cable is able to rapidly repair any damaged components within his body. However, if there is widespread damage, this may not be possible, as he may be unable to muster the energy to affect these repairs. When he was attacked by Magneto, and virtually every component in the left side of his body was damaged or destroyed, Cable was left unable to repair enough systems to save his own life, and required outside assistance. It is through these abilities that the physical appearance of his cybernetic components has changed, over the passage of time, as well. At times, they have been articulated, smooth artificial limbs, while at others they have been observed to grow razor-sharp blades on command, as well as retract them. Cable is also able to rapidly redesign and improve his cybernetic and bionic components, thus. On-the-spot improvisations has allowed him to create a variety of microcomputers in his totally mechanized left arm that do such things as allow him to physically interface with exterior computers, up-link/download to computers he has hidden across the world and in space (such as those he had on Graymalkin), and even permit cellular communications and high-speed, broadband, wireless Internet access.<br/><br/><strong>Abilities:</strong><br/><br/>Master Combatant: Cable was a highly accomplished warrior and battle strategist, highly adept in many forms of hand-to-hand combat and in the use of a variety of weaponry from both the modern era and the late 37th-early 39th century.<br/><br/>Gifted Intelligence: Cable has a diploma in law and is also in possession of an education provided by the Clan Askani, which is far in advance of modern era conventional education, especially in the sciences.<br/><br/>Teleportation: By "Bodysliding", Cable can teleport or 'bodyslide' to virtually any area, with a limited number of passengers.<br/><br/>Relentless Resolve: Cable can handle far more than the average person before breaking. His calm and to the point attitude won't shatter under pressure and, in fact, will only get more focused. Cracking this man's focus will take a hell of a job and god help them if they do it by pissing him off. He is incredibly difficult, if not borderline impossible, to stop when his mind is set to something. He will stop at nothing to see his missions through. He might fail a few times but he will come back and try again and again.<br/><br/><strong>Weaknesses:</strong><br/><br/>TO Virus: This virus is over his entire arm, shoulder, neck, and barely on his face. It can, and will, spread if allowed to and it will not be pleasant. Currently held at bay by his vast TK/Telepathic power if he should prove unable to do so then it could spell doom for the man from the future. Even beyond that the virus is active and those who can manipulate technology might be able to hamper him through using such gifts on the virus itself.<br/><br/>Magnetism: Not a surprise and something exploited by Magneto himself before but having a giant metal arm makes him vulnerable to any sort of magnetic power or influence.<br/><br/>Equipment: An assortment of guns and small gadgets that are designed to get him places. A bodyslider belt that allows him to teleport as needed.<br/><br/><div style="text-align: right;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 24pt;">Played By: Gilgameshian</span></div>
