There is a character call Cable inDeadpool 2 , but his backstory is nothing like the character from the originalNew MutantsorX - Forcebooks where Cable first appeared in 1990 . This was a knowing move on the part of theDeadpool 2screenwriters , as the classic Cable ’s background is ludicrously complicated , even by the measure of American superhero comics .

We know he ’s from the not - too - upstage future and that he has a line of work working as some form of soldier . We have it off that he has a wife and a girl named Hope , and that they are brutally dispatch by a mutant call Firefist .

While the original Cable in the comics was a soldier from the future who suffered from a similar disease , and he also travel back in meter because of a baddie who endanger his family , it is here the similarities terminate . The Cable of the comics came from 2000 eld in the future and had a Logos named Tyler . This Cable traveled into the modern dayMarvel Comicsuniverse in pursuit of the villain who cut Cable ’s wife and kidnap his son . Beyond these instant difference , Cable has an fabulously complex and convoluted history .
cable length was born in the modern day Marvel Universe as Nathan Summers . He was the son ofX - Menleader Scott " Cyclops " Summers and Madelyn Pryor - a knockoff of Scott ’s longtime lady friend , Jean Grey , who was created by the supervillain Mister Sinister as part of his efforts to multiply a genetically pure variation . Madelyn proved to be a less than ideal female parent , attempting to sacrifice young Nathan to a demon . afterward , Mister Sinister intended to conjure Nathan to be the ultimate weapon system against thevillain Apocalypse , only for Apocalypse to taint Nathan with a techno - organic virus that threatened to painfully transmute him into a man of support metal before kill him .
Thankfully , Nathan was saved by Clan Askani - a sistership from the futurity who were commit to fighting Apocalypse . They took Nathan 2000 years into the future , where they were able to redeem him by prepare him to use his considerable psychic might to hold his disease in impediment and forestall it from spreading further . unbeknown to Nathan , The Mother Askani was a cleaning lady named Rachel Summers - his half - sister from another alternate future , who ordered a clone be made of Nathan in case he could not be saved . This clone was later abducted by Apocalypse , who raise the clone as his own son , name him Stryfe .
The Askani Clan train untried Nathan in the fine art of state of war , believing him to be the Chosen One doom to put down Apocalypse . Nathan learned well , successfully destroying Apocalypse and settling down with his wife and Logos . It was then that Stryfe attacked Cable ’s mob and fly to the past with Tyler in tow . Nathan followed after him , finding himself in the mean solar day before the beingness of mutants was widely known .
Interestingly enough , Nathan was given lessons on how to intermix in to 20th one C society by Charles Xavier , in exchange for his supporter in building a high tech surety system for the school Xavier was building . Nathan follow the name Cable as a extension to him being a liaison between the present and the time to come and went on to live the life of a soldier of fortune while sample to find his Logos and Stryfe . This led to his later partnerships with X - Force and Deadpool .
agree all of this into a motion-picture show would be problematic to say the least . That ’s cut how most of Cable ’s backstory would run afoul with the realness of theX - Menmovies thatDeadpool 2is nominally connect to , particularlyX - Men : Revelation of Saint John the Divine . It is all for the better than that comic Word Cable ’s backstory was for the most part disregard in create the film version of Cable .
