Straight out of the dystopian future (the 39th Century, to be exact), it is the mutant Nathan Summers, AKA Cable, AKA the dude with the metal arm, robotic eye, and giant gun. He had to get the first two because of a viral infection that was half-technology, half-organic, but he's a bit sensitive about it taking over his body. He'd much rather discuss his time as a member of the X-Force or New Mutants. He is a hero between two worlds, two time periods, and two dimensions, who has spent his life as a hardened warrior, yet longs for peace at last.
