Ultimate X-Men #75 Discussion (Spoilers)

hey, remeber cable said he didn't pop the claws out for just anyone. which means he has trained not to use them except as a last chance, hence the loss of the healing factor.

SO he could be wolvie, from the future. this seems to be the most likely theory right now.

I thought about the four claw thing... but retcons are very popular.

Thankfully, not in the Ultimate Universe, aside from the Ultimate Marvel Team-Up stuff.

I'm not convinced by the Sabertooth argument, in general. Just a gut feeling, really. Nothing I can substantiate with proof.

But I'm fairly confident that any allusions to time travel are deliberate misidirection on Kirkman's part. Yes, we already know it's possible, from Millar's run on UFF, but thus far, they've been quite principled in limiting its use to that one book, where it fits with the overall sci-fi vibe. I'm hoping we'll get a much more 'down-to-earth' explanation for Cable. Or, if he absolutely MUST be a time traveller, then his purpose has more to do with resolving some Days of the Future Past style political conflict -- or preventing a utopian-type future from taking place, for whatever reason -- rather than the silly space-opera Askani crap that I always felt was an odd fit for the X-title 'brand'.

So if you wanna check out the full article look there. I just took out some pieces and decided to post them.


"Ultimate Cable is going to be a thorn in the side of the X-Men in the Ultimate Universe. This arc with Cable will be setting up big changes for the X-Men… who's on the team, even where they live," said Kirkman.


In the original X-Men universe, Cable was the brainchild of Rob Liefeld, who created a mystery man with no set origin. Over the years, Liefeld and others filled in the details of Cable's past leaving us with a man Kirkman believes to be too well-defined. Kirkman's mission is to bring us a new Cable, one who remains a "man of mystery." Cable will not be the son of Scott Summers, there will be no Stryfe or Mutant Liberation Front (you may cheer now). As Kirkman put it, this is going to be "completely different stuff."



There will, however, be Domino and Bishop. The latter is a mutant from the same time as Cable. He's hunting down the man of mystery in this four-issue arc and makes his ultimate debut in issue #76. As for Domino, she's linked to Cable's past, as we learn in a major revelation on the final page of issue #76.

Kirkman was vague on many of the details to avoid spoiling Cable's ultimate arrival. We'll see Cable's new powers at the end of issue #75, along with a major revelation that should tell us something about Cable's past.It sounds like Cable will be someone we already know from the Marvel universe -- at least, that's what we inferred from Kirkman's statements.


In the 616 Marvel Universe, we've had whole issues dedicated to showing future timelines. Don't expect that same with Kirkman's X-Men. The writer admitted he's "kind of playing the future stuff close to the vest. I don't want the X-men running around in the future and fighting sci-fi stuff. Cable and Bishop come from the same future... [It] will be discussed and talked about... We're not going to see the future, at least initially."

The arrival of Cable brings "a lot of big shakeups in the lineup" and "at least one big death."

Oh. Goody.

... and if Cable was Wolverine, he would have been stopped by the Time Spiders because he was going to interfere with his past self.

....Although highly unlikey Kirkman took that into consideration...it offers me some small chance of hope that Cable is NOT Wolverine (or Sabretooth, wtf? 4 claws to 3, no fangs, and now long sharp natural claws, or the big nose...where did that idea come from? Oh well, it's better than Bishop being Wolverine and Storm's love child. Because if Bishop was, he's the easiest maybe villain the X-Men have ever gone up against, to defeat him Wolverine wears a condom.)
 
It's not that I want Cable to be Ultimate Wolverine. It's just that it's the kind of thing that Kirkman would do.

In Russia.......wait---that joke doesn't really apply here. I've just been on a kick using it.


I'm no Kirkman expert---hell I barely like the stuff he's done---but making Cable Wolverine does seem like a twist that Kirkman would throw out there. But at the same time I know and acknowledge that Kirkman is a smarter writer than that and that all this speculation based on hints/previews could turn out to be false leads.

So until we see more, all this is merely the wild specualtion of fans and fanboys.


Would I disappointed if he was Wolverine---yes. But I wouldn't call it dumb or horrible......especially if pulled off right.
