Across the years, nearly all of the main characters who have made up the X-Men have been killed at least once.
#X MEN TIMECOP TV#
And if we forget the future and look at the ways the X-Men die in the continuous timeline we’ve been following all this time, they have been blown up in a high-rise while the world watches on TV they have been blown up in a school bus they have been crucified on their own front lawn they have succumbed to a virus that only they can catch and they have died of a poison only toxic to them. The characters are instead warring factions whose power creates a conundrum: what to do with the humans not born superior, like them? The ensuing civil war leaves few mutants, or humans, standing. In another future, the “Age of Apocalypse,” the X-Men simply do not exist. In one future, they are hunted by the federal government, wanted posters pasted on dystopian brick walls, their faces marked “Slain” or “Apprehended.” Those captured are neutralized with power-dampening collars and sent to concentration camps, where they unsuccessfully attempt a rebellion that leads to their destruction by the Sentinels, giant robots with weapons in their palms. The good news is that the sword has been broken and scattered through a few different time periods.How many times have the X-Men died? The outcast team of mutant superheroes, whose stories have been ongoing in Marvel Comics for over fifty-five years, has through time travel created a multiverse of alternate futures in which their deaths are predetermined. As much as it may sound like a video game quest item, its powers are even more incredible: if Conquest can assemble it from its remaining shards, he'll be able to wield time and reality with godlike efficiency.
The first thing Cable will need to be policing is Conquest's mission to assemble an ancient weapon known as the Time Sword. So to make him this sort of time cop that has to fix these things is a nice, organic role for him that makes sense when you look at his history. I want to help define Cable’s role in the Marvel Universe.
#X MEN TIMECOP MOVIE#
Imagine a Cable movie where you don’t need to know very much about the character in order to enjoy the story. 'Doctor Who' meets 'Time Cop.' That’s very much what we’re doing. He’s traveling time and fixing problems in the past, and one of such problem comprises the first arc of the series. In this series, we’ve decided to make him become sort of Marvel’s mutant time cop. Admittedly, sometimes he has more control over that then others. He comes and goes, from the present to the future and back again. Time travel has always been a part of his makeup. So when Conquest keeps on leaping through time, Cable has no choice but to follow. Until Conquest runs face first into Cable, and establishes that he's every bit the villain that our techno-organic virus-infected friend is the hero. He hails from a different future than Cable's making them something of a suited pair. The details come straight from Robinson himself, explaining to CBR that Cable's new mission begins when a new villain called 'Conquest' arrives from the future in pursuit of more power. Protecting it from a new adversary that will send him in pursuit everywhere- every when from feudal Japan to the Old American West and places well beyond. but now he's protecting the timestream itself. In Marvel's new Cable, he's as tough as ever.
#X MEN TIMECOP SERIES#
Those who know Cable at all know he's Marvel's resident time traveling enforcer/bodyguard, but the solo series coming from James Robinson and Carlos Pacheco is looking to strip Cable away from the paradox-filled mythology established around him. Especially with the writer pitching it as "a Cable movie" in comic form. Launching in April, the new Cable series will be putting the massive, metal armed, gun-toting mutant from the future into the spotlight as he takes on a mission so clearly intended to be a crowdpleasing romp, through so fantastic a variety of settings, it's guaranteed to be the perfect appetizer to his big screen film career. A starring role in the upcoming Deadpool 2 will be boosting the reputation of Cable to new levels, but Marvel Comics is making sure fans can fall in love with the mutant long before that.
