flatmatt played this LE and the WoS Deadpool in 300 points just yesterday. I thought the team was much nastier than most 2-figure teams.

Ok....first and foremost...GREAT FREAKIN' ARTICLE.....Funny AND on point. Rep to you sir
Secondly, i won this guy a few weeks back and played him the folowing week. He was awesome!!! I've already posted a couple other times about the team i played and how it went down....but every time someone mentions this new New Cable, i just have to chime in. He is my new favorite figure!!!

Great article!!! I have the GSX LE Cable & he's the best!!! I use him with my WOS Deadpool with the rest of the X-Force team members. They have won many matches for me!!! Anyone who talks bad about the new Cable are just haters.

Great article. Super props on recognizing the importance of Mountain Dew to the life of the game. This takes me back to an article about Supernova Doom and his screaming lament about no Mountain Dew in the cooler.

And I like the new piece. One I definitely must have!

Nice review.

As more of a DC fan it drives me bonkers that Cable has that back end dial (they seem to be lobbing HSS on "powerful" marvel characters whether they deserve it or not -- Ms. Skrullvel, Cosmic Spider-Man , etc). His powers sound like Superman in a blind taste test but are better than any of the NECA Supermen, and he has HSS which no normal Wonder Woman has.

Yet. With a Superman-themed set coming out, we'll see what's around the pike.

And you've got to realize that Marvel Comics doesn't use super speed the way DC does. They just don't write characters that fast, with the exception of a few of the cosmic-powered ones like Silver Surfer and any Captain Universe-type (so yeah, CSM should undoubtedly have it).

That being said, it's an issue of game balance. It would be horribly lopsided for there to be such readily available DC figures with HSS as Superman and Flash without some Marvel figures to balance it out. They have to give it to characters like Ms. Marvel and Sentry. Not just Quicksilver. And Cable, on his "Messiah" clicks, probably deserves it if you're going by that paradigm.

I am going to run a New Mutants team with him first chance I get. His older versions are missing this keyword & the I am glad to see the New Cable has it.

Well played Sir...well played...

Is it just me or are they trying to kill off every heroclix from all the past sets?I would love to see dial maker to see how they came up with cables points?It's cool to make a beatstick but it should cost you.This cable should be around 220pts to my figures.

The new LE Cable is a beast. He's probably one of the best point for powers characters the game has ever seen. He's absolutely lethal through-out his whole dial. And to top it off, he's most dangerous when he's close to death and gets his HSS. And with all his keywords, he'll be seeing alot of play on many of my teams over the next few months, if not years!!!

who needs the x-men TA when you can put him on a theme team with Elixir, Domino, X-Force Archangel, and other sneakies? Elixir'll heal HIM and the rest of the team if they huddle around for the action

I just want to understand one thing before I say anything else on the subject: Is it your contention that either the old E Cable, or the old LE Nat Summers, or both are better than the new LE Cable?

From your post that's the impression that I get, but I want to be sure.

Well, if it were sculpt vs. sculpt I'd still give it to the old Cable. M&M was a totally rad set for good sculpts.

i actually do't thik he's all that good. base him, hit him. once you him down a bit, hit him a lil more and he's done. sure his hss clicks are nice, but for 140 points, he's not good enough up front. i can see him doing well, but i've beat him every time so far. i don't like clicks that you have to push to get nasty.

I'm sure somewhere out there in the vast darkness cheeto basement boy says "you're welcome" and "where's my goddamn money" :P
