I found a very thorough summary of X-cutioner's Song that should answer my question - and leave me wondering how Cable can actually be around in our game, given that he (and Stryfe) vanished at the end of that story, but we are diverting from continuity in other places too, so I guess that's just that. Here's what I found about the last moments of X-cutioner's Song:<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Wolverine, Polaris, Cannonball, Storm, Iceman, Psylocke and Bishop have gathered together as they look towards their dear friends. Jean puts her arms around Cyclops, telling him that Cable knew what he was doing. ‘The equipment he was carrying focused the energies of the time vortex through it’ she explains. Havok adds that Cable’s self-destruction opened the rift needed to bring Stryfe down. ‘Funny, the whole thing started with us thinking Cable was a murderer…but in the end, he turned out to be our only hope’. Cyclops agrees: ‘He was that. In order to save us all - we had to sacrifice him…a second time…’. Jean looks up at Scott: ‘Scott - no - you don’t think…’ she begins. ‘I don’t know if we’ll ever be sure. But I do know this. I’m going to spend the rest of my life thinking about today…thinking about him and wondering…God help me, I’ll never stop wondering…’ Cyclops declares. </blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>In the end it's up to the players of Scott, Jean, and Cable to figure out the details, I suppose.
