Claim to Fame

Really big, scary-looking mutant that looks out for other mutants.

Reputation

Known as Nathan Dayspring in the field. No nonsense mercenary and soldier for hire. What needs to be done is done. Period. If need be alone, or with a group pulled together specific to the needs of the mission. To mutants, however, he is something a little more. Cable will not kill a mutant if he can help it if he deems them to be an 'innocent' or 'used' in some fashion. He will tell them to leave before destruction begins.

Biography

Even Nathan's birth couldn't be straightforward. Born of an X-Man and a clone of Jean Grey, Nate was destined to have a truly screwed up childhood, not to mention adulthood. He was almost sacrificed by his mother to open a portal to Limbo, but thankfully that was opposed by caring others.

The geneticist that was responsible for Madelyne Pryor's creation (Nate's birth mother) had planned on using the young Cable against Apocalypse. Apocalypse learned of the plot, however, and had Nate kidnapped and subsequently infected with a strain of the Techno-Organic virus. Once Apoc was defeated once again (go team!), the only way to assure Nate's survival was to send him 2,000 years into the future where and when they could help him. (Didn't hurt that there was someone who -could- help and bring him forward.)

There, in the future, he was cloned (just in case!) but it ended up that somehow in the cloning, the TO was able to be controlled. Minions of Apocalypse stole the clone and took him away to be raised elsewhere.

For the next 12 years, then, Nate had a somewhat normal life, brought up with care and in a loving family. He was taught how to use his mutant powers to keep the virus at bay. When a teenager, he was able to defeat Apocalypse- and after that, he traveled to the last of the Askani enclave and was welcomed as 'Askani-son'. While there to try and organize them, he fell in love and married… and had a son.

His wife was killed in a battle, and he believes that his son was killed by his own hand in order to save a Clanmate. The one that caused all this strife then fled to the 20th century with Nate in hot pursuit. Arriving in a time before his birth, he needed help for the most basic of things- from learning English to lessons on how to live in the 20th century. (The latter he learned at the Institute in return for aid in designing the security systems of the mansion.)

Since being in the 20th century, Cable's been part of different mercenary operations, finally landing in his 'own', X-Force. With Ship in orbit (and in his head), the large mutant is collecting everything he needs in order to move forward for the protecting of mutant-kind.

Character Details

No nonsense on the outside, and something of a marshmallow in the inside. He's gruff but caring, and believes ultimately that his actions will benefit the 'mutant cause'.

Combat
Not only is he skilled in armed and unarmed combat but he is also a successful battle strategist. His armed combat includes weapons from not only the 20th and 21st century but also the 40th.
Jurisprudence
Cable holds a degree in Law.
Psionic

Telepathy: Can push mental bolts capable of either causing unconsciousness or death.
Telepathy: Can shield himself mentally and could possibly hold out against Phoenix, Professor X and Marvel Girl.
Telekinesis: Has extremely fine control over objects. He can disassemble complex devices quickly (explosively) as well as assemble them. He also has molecular awareness to the point of atomic. He could tell if a seal is complete by measuring the oxygen atoms escaping (or not). He can also control his own TO virus such that it doesn't spread. In order to use his left (cybernetic) hand, he -must- manipulate it via his TK.
Telekinesis: On a macro level, he can levitate large, heavy objects as well as create a safety shield/forcefield around himself for protection. His upper limits are unknown at this time.
Astral Projection: Very much like Professor X, he can leave his body and project himself elsewhere. ||

Self repair
With his telekinetic ability to rearrange the atomic structures of matter (including his own T-O 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 required to make the necessary repairs and require assistance.
Hacking
Thanks to the TO virus, Cable can interface with virtually any computer system and be assured of shielding.
Cybernetic Design
Cable is able to rapidly redesign and improve his cybernetic and bionic components. On-the-spot improvisations has allowed him to create a variety of microcomputers in his totally mechanized left arm that allow him to physically interface with exterior computers, uplink/download to computers he has hidden across the world and on Graymalkin, and even permit cellular communications and high-speed, broadband, wireless Internet access. A walking hotspot! All while completely shielded.
Teleportation and Time Slide
With the help of Graymalkin, Cable has both the ability to teleport from one location to another and also move back and forth along the main timestream. He may also take one or two people with him when he does so.

Techno- Organic Virus

Much of Cable’s body has been infiltrated and altered by the techno-organic virus, which has taken the form of cybernetics and bionics, making him effectively a cyborg.
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.
Cable possesses superhuman physical endurance, just as he does superhuman levels of mental endurance. He is capable of exerting himself at peak levels for several hours, before fatigue begins to visibly impair his performance.
He is capable of going extended periods of time without sleep, being fully capable of fully resting with not much over an hour of sleep. It's not ideal, however, and he does prefer to get his 6-8 hours to dream.
His entire Central Nervous System has been augmented by chemical changes down to the atomic level and by biocomputer enhancement, rendering his reaction time far above what is possible for a Human being.
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’ve been fired (though they are not easy to see, except through his cybernetic eye). That said, he is not faster than, say, Daredevil.
Among his many cybernetic functions, Cable possesses a cybernetic left eye. This eye permits Cable to see deep into the 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. ||

Graymalkin
Cable's 'eye in the sky', it's a cloaked space-station in geosynch orbit around the Earth. It houses the AI, who goes by many names- 'Ship', 'Graymalkin' and 'Professor'. Not as overtly helpful as JARVIS, still the AI does aid him.
Hideyholes
Cable's got 'em dotted around the world. Some larger than others, but all of them reasonably 'comfortable'.

Relationships

Image	Name	Relation	Notes
	Domino	Girlfriend and merc partner. Mostly.	When circumstances allow, and when they're running in the same circles, in the same spheres, there is a definite soft spot for the albino merc, and no other.

Quirks

Prefers to have boots on the ground.
