    Character » Cable appears in 3584 issues.

    The once-mysterious Cable (a.k.a. Nathan Summers) is Cyclops' time-traveling son who was infected with the deadly techno-organic virus during his infancy, which he keeps at bay using his advanced psionic powers. At one time a founding member and leader of the militant team called X-Force, previously known as the New Mutants, Cable takes the aimless youths under his wing and whips them into fighting shape in order to prepare them for future threats.

    How old is Cable?

    We've seen him at different ages at different points in his life. I didn't read it but I heard he died in Cable/Deadpool. So Technically he's dead...... or not even born yet.

    Did he not get transformed into a baby at one point in the Cable/Deadpool series? I could have sworn he was also younger in Revolution in may of 2000 or some such. It has been a long time. In any case, I would say he is older than his body is.

    I would say he's around sixty-five, if not more, by now. He was quite old when he first appeared, and given that he's been with Hope for at least sixteen plus years by now, that's about twenty years in total.
