The X-Men are known for many time-travel story lines and Cable, a mutant from the future, is prominent in these tales. DP052 Cable gave us an incredible representation of the character, packed with power. Weighing in at 163 points, he is no small investment. However, Cable is ready to pull his weight with strong stats and potent abilities.<\/p>\n<p>One of Cable\u2019s greatest assets is his Telepathic Future Leader special power, which grants him the use of Outwit, Leadership, and Probability Control. To top it off, this power cannot be countered. He has this gem for four of his seven clicks. Cable hardly needs support. With this power, he brings his own.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5523 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/theendgamesblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Cable-Clix-300x157.jpg\" alt=\"Cable Clix\" width=\"328\" height=\"177\" \/>Cable packs Running Shot for six of his seven clicks, but his Bodyslide power is an added bonus for four of those clicks. Bodyslide lets Cable use Improved Movement: ignores hindering, elevated, and blocking terrain. Cable goes where he wants and, when he gets there, he is going to shoot someone.<\/p>\n<p>So with all of that, here are a few ideas for what you can do with Cable. He has a great list of keywords that make him a great centerpiece for most mutant-themed teams.<\/p>\n<p><strong>X-Force<\/strong><br \/>\n163 DP052 Cable<br \/>\n89 DP023 Domino<br \/>\n142 WXM042 Fantomex<br \/>\n394<\/p>\n<p>PSA: If you play this team, you might lose friends. Now that you have been warned, this X-Force team has some serious punch. Fantomex can hide safely in the back and fire through his EVA bystander token. Set Domino up to shoot from hindering and, between her and Cable, you are stacked with support powers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New Mutants<\/strong><br \/>\n163 DP052 Cable<br \/>\n102 WXM034 Magik<br \/>\n63 WXM072 Wolfsbane<br \/>\n76 WXM018 Sunspot<br \/>\n92 WXM071 Cannonball<br \/>\n496<\/p>\n<p>Use Magik to shuttle your team around. Her Travel Through Limbo power is great for this team. She can double her movement and carry the team deep into battle. The result is that you must deal one unavoidable damage to a carried character, but that lets you get Wolfsbane off her activation click. Win-Win. Cable is the only real heavy hitter on this team, but there is strong synergy potential and plenty of attack options. Keep your team close to each other and you should be set.<\/p>\n<p><strong>X-Men<\/strong><br \/>\n163 DP052 Cable<br \/>\n75 WXM040 Hope Summers<br \/>\n130 DOFP013 Wolverine<br \/>\n150 AVX009 Cyclops<br \/>\n80 DOFP009 Nightcrawler<br \/>\n598<\/p>\n<p>Hope and Cable are a mean pair! Hope has the ability to copy all of an adjacent friendly character\u2019s powers, including special powers. Keep her adjacent to Cable, and you have a very potent support piece that is protected by Invulnerability too. Wolverine and Nightcrawler are both tough close combat pieces, once because of free Regeneration and the other by just being hard to hit. This will help you tie up threats for Cable and Cyclops to attack at range.<\/p>\n<p>This is just a quick look at what you can do with DP052 Cable. He is a big point investment, but I have never had him let me down. Play him with confidence!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With anew year upon us, let\u2019s take a look at the future.
