Cable | Comics

In order to defeat his adversary Apocalypse, Mr. Sinister orchestrated the birth of Nathan Summers, who is destined to become the time-traveling hero Cable!

A link between present and future, Nathan Summers, A.K.A. Cable is the biological son of X-Men member Cyclops and Madelyne Pryor, a clone of Jean Grey. Actually, evil geneticist Mister Sinister plotted his birth from his obsession of creating "The Perfect Mutant" and with an intention to use him one day against his former master, Apocalypse.

Since Jean was placed in a cocoon at Jamaica Bay after her encounter with cosmic Phoenix Force, Sinister made a clone of her but what it lacked was her memory. At first, Sinister thought his experiment was a complete failure but when Madelyne received some of Jean's memories through Phoenix Force, he sent her to meet Scott Summers.

All he wanted was an offspring from the union of Madelyne and Scott for his plans to succeed. This plan worked as Jean was thought dead and Scott felt very drawn towards her because of her uncanny resemblance with his lover. They married, she eventually got pregnant and they had a son whom they named Nathan Christopher Charles Summers.

Troubled by his own, Scott lost his leadership to X-Men, so he decided to retire for the time being and raise baby Nathan with his wife Madelyne. However, their marriage starts reaching to a point where he starts avoiding her and would often miss Jean instead.

To make matters worse, Jean Grey turned out to be very much alive and Scott left behind Nate with his wife. Scott rejoined his friends from X-Men to form a new super-hero team called X-Factor. Sinister sends his Marauders to bring Nathan to him and kill Madelyne to remove any evidence that suggests there was a clone of Jean.

Inferno
Nathan was captured and taken to Sinister's secret lab for further experiment while his mother barely survived the attack. She was also attacked in the hospital but luckily for her, Wolverine came in with the team of X-Men to rescue her. Madelyne later learns why Scott has abandoned her and started to lose grip on her sanity.

Dubbing herself as Goblin Queen, she agreed to help demons S'ym and N'Astirh to unleash demons from Limbo on Earth to get her son back. Scott and Jean rescues Nate from Sinister's lab while fighting Nanny and Orphan-Maker. As baby Nate starts growing up, he starts developing telekinetic powers but soon is kidnapped by Riders of the Storm.

They took him to their base on Blue Area of the Moon and Apocalypse then infected him with the deadly Techno-Organic Virus. It was rapidly spreading liquid metal and organic steel over his body, which would kill him if it cannot be stopped in time. Cyclops is visited by Sister Askani from the alternate reality of Earth-4935, who took Nathan with her.

Nathan Dayspring
In the alternate timeline, Apocalypse has taken over and Nathan is raised by Mother Askani, his alternate timeline sister Rachel Summers. He was taught to use his vast powers to frequently keep the lethal virus in his system on check. Often worshiped as "Dayspring" and "Askani'son" by members of Clan Askani, he was deemed to be their savior in future.

The virus in his system progressed so far that she feared the boy probably would not survive and so she made a clone of him as part of a contingency plan. Minions of En Sabah Nur broke in to kidnap the boy for their master and ended up taking his clone after killing many members of the Clan Askani as Rachel has already removed Nate.

Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix
Apocalypse was unaware about the clone of Nathan Summers and believed he got the real baby. Naming him Stryfe, he planned to raise the boy as a vessel for the time when he will need a host body. Meanwhile, Scott and Jean are taken to future by a badly wounded Mother Askani, who handed Nate to them before slipping into coma.

The couple knew by now that this boy is going to become Cable and started raising him to be the soldier he is destined to become. When he encountered Stryfe for first time, Nate defeated him on Apocalypse's citadel. He was telepathically taught by Rachel to destroy Legacy Virus and how to contain the deadly Techno-Organic Virus in his own system.

As En Sabah Nur was preparing to switch his consciousness into Stryfe, Nathan reached there with Scott and Jean. He disturbed the telepathic links between the villain and his host, which seemingly killed Apocalypse. With that, Rachel starts dying, his parents are sent back to future and Nate remained to restore balance on Earth-4935.

The Traveler
After fruitlessly trying to restore peace over and over, Nathan grew tired of Askani ways and decided to face Apocalypse before he conquers everything. He arrived in ancient Egypt right after En Sabah Nur discovered the Celestial Ship and engaged with his Dark Riders.

Calling himself as The Traveler, he dispatched all the minions and is threatened by an ancient evil Skornn, who feeds on humans and mutants. Despite his best efforts, Nate was unable to kill it as it was an immortal being that can only be slain by a dagger, Five Fingers of Annihilation and with help from a sorceress D'narda, he managed to kill it.

Living Legends
In another of their confrontation, Nate shot En Sabah Nur straight to the head and his not-so loyal Dark Riders took him for their newest leader but he declined the offer. His cybernetic arm was severed during their battle and Nur’s blood mixed with Nate's techno-organic infected remains allowed Ozymandias to revive his master later.

When he learns that his blood actually helped resurrect the villain, he sends him away in space along with his Celestial Ship. Ozymandias states that, although Nathan was traveling through time to find out a way to stop Nur, it is what actually helped him after all.

Six Pack
In his attempt to understand the threats of modern era, Cable formed a mercenary group called the Wild Pack and mostly worked with an arms dealer named Mr. Tolliver. His orbiting space station Graymalkin became a means of transportation for various situations.

Soon, time-traveling mutant came in conflict with fellow merc Silver Sable, who had her own group of the same name and then changed it to Six Pack when his fellow team-member suggested of it over a drink. He discovers that his cloned-half, Stryfe has been backing his contractor Tolliver and he then abandoned their mission halfway.

Nathan and his team later broke into a Hydra research facility and are threatened by an image of Baron von Strucker. Though the mission was successfully completed, they were being played by A.I.M. and for a payback, the team goes after Stryfe and Cable managed to wound him, which lead to the destruction of site and his team disbands afterwards.

Lost Future
Nathan Summers comes to present day Boston from the year 2087 to find it swarmed by the plants of Shredded Man. His bleeding edge AI, Belle suggests that the current catastrophe the world is going through could be related to M-Pox. Cable came across one of those plant-based creatures that he blew away with a force blast from his Psimitar.

Seeing Wade as an Avenger in a newspaper, Nate gets really worried thinking how bad things have gone. He soon joins Deadpool, Doctor Voodoo, Rogue and Synapse during a fight while handing Quicksilver an enzyme to synthesize more of it and administer among the ones infected before getting back to blast away the Shredded Man.

Rogue falls flat upon confronting the villain and Nate tends to her care with antitoxin. He finds out the one they are fighting is a relative to Emily Guerrero AKA Synapse and when he received a psychic flash of her snapping the neck of Shredded Man, he stops her. Nate then forces the ecological maniac to reverse everything by jeopardizing her life.

The Man Who Fell to Earth
Although he never officially joined the ranks of Uncanny Avengers, Cable stayed around to help the team. He helps out Synapse to get better at using her telepathic power and lead their team to pursue Wrecker as he attempts to escape Pleasant Hill. Together they fight back S.H.I.E.L.D. to help Maria Hill from getting imprisoned into her own prison.

After wrapping things up with her, an Ultron-possessed Hank Pym returns to Earth and Nathan asks his suit for peer review but he shows that there is not much organic part left. Cap asks him to prepare a non-fatal way to neutralize Hank just in case. When Nate learned that Janet flunked him, he pushes Hank to the point where he lost his cool.

He blew up the Schaefer Theater the team resided in only to be hit by an E.M.P. next from Wasp until more cavalry of heroes arrive. Ultron then infected Deadpool with his organism that Cable pulled out of his body using his power of telekinesis and helped the team encase the murder bot into Hulkbuster Armor before hurling it into the sun.

The Newer Mutants
When members of the ancient group of mutants known as the Externals starts dying one by one, Cable made it his one-man mission to find out the mysterious mutant killer by drafting Doop, Longshot and Shatterstar into his cause before facing the vampiric Selene. They find out that she has already assembled the formerly deceased Externals at her side.

Armor and X-23 joins Cable's crew before discovering the rest who didn't join the Black Queen of Hellfire Club ended up dead. She brought an amnesiac Blink to her side as a secret weapon and eventually learns that their unknown assailant is none other than an old enemy named Gideon, who previously fought the X-Force.

One of her allies turned on them while the mutant mimic grows too powerful for any of them to stop. The Black Priestess sought help from Nathan and then tries to take care of this External business by herself but Gideon proved too powerful for them. The beast was finally slain using an energy portal by Clarice with some guidance from Nate.

The creator credit for Cable goes to artist Rob Liefeld (Heroes Reborn – Captain America, Onslaught Reborn) who at that time was working on that monthly ongoing series.

Over years, many talented comic-book writers and artists have taken their turns on this character that has molded him into the hero he is today. However, it seems take on his character by artist Chris Bachalo (Captain America – Homeland, Dark Reign – The Sinister Spider-Man) is the best portrayal there is till date.

The Askani Son

In years of publication, Cable traveled to present and went back to future in time to save timelines countless times. He founded groups like Clan Chosen, Six Pack, The Underground and X-Force, while also leading them. Aside from leading New Mutants, he was also within the groups of Clan Askani, Secret Avengers, Uncanny Avengers and X-Men.

Nathan has also frequently teamed-up with psychotic super-merceneray Deadpool and his former lover Domino. Following the immense success of 2016's live-action, R-rated Deadpool movie, a sequel is announced for 2018 and Cable is going to appear as a pivotal character in Deadpool 2, portrayed by actor Josh Brolin.

Venom | Comics

An alien symbiote from Battleworld found Spider-Man as a human host and then latched to Eddie Brock and became the  most wicked of web-slingers; Venom!

The alien symbiote that bonds with a host and grant them superhuman abilities is an extraterrestrial species known as Klyntar came from Planet of the Symbiotes from a remote sector of Andromeda Galaxy. It's very first host tried to unleash a genocide using its power and it horrified them as one of Agents of the Cosmos.

Later, alien arms-dealer Haze Mancer would capture it in an attempt to weaponize by increasing aggression within it but Klyntar managed to escape from his grasp. Then Symbiote Imperium had it contained in a prison fearing contamination of gene pool that would eventually make way to Beyonder's Secret Wars.

Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars
It first came in contact with freelance mercenary Deadpool, whose time in Battleworld is forgotten to everyone. After he wore it for a brief time, Wade Wilson realizes the suit being alive and then left it believing his own insanity might affect the mind of this sentient alien being before Spider-Man came in for a costume change.

As he was trying to repair his own suit, the symbiote covered his entire body by forming a new black and white costume similar to the one previously worn by the second Spider-Woman Julia Carpenter. He also discovered soon that his new suit is capable of generating clothes for him as well as much stronger webbing.

Venom | Comics

Saga of Alien Costume
Back on Earth, Spidey realized after a while that his new costume is a sentient "Friend" from outer space and even causing him to act aggressively as it was affecting his emotions. When he approached the Fantastic Four regarding this growing issue, Reed Richards informed him that it wishes to bond with him permanently.

Learning its vulnerability to both sound and flame helped them removing it from Spidey using powerful sonic waves. It escaped and hid into his closet by disguising as his regular red and blue costume. Peter then permanently got rid of it on bell tower of Our Lady of Saints Church after the symbiote forcibly tried to bond with him again.

Deadpool: Back in Black
This act of rejection however develops a natural bitterness in it which is also passed into the symbiote’s future hosts. While Peter thought he finally destroyed it, through floor cracks Klyntar escapes and took time recovering. When attacked by alien bounty hunters Killer Thrill, Guzz, and Coldwar, it sought out Deadpool to bond with him again.

This trio of villains was hired by an Elder of the Universe named The Collector to bring the symbiote to him. Though merging with Wade Wilson saved it from being captured by those aliens, they were emotionally incompatible to co-exist and Klyntar had to leave him to go to the church it came from and prey on its next host.

Birth of a Monster
Reporter Eddie Brock was suffering with serious health issues which caused him severe anxiety. As one of his front-page exclusives on Sin-Eater blows up on his face, he got fired. Because of Spider-Man apprehending the villain and revealing what Brock insisted on was wrong, he lost his job at Daily Globe and blindly starts blaming the hero.

After a few failed suicide attempts, he starts visiting Our Lady of Saints Church regularly to ask for forgiveness from God and came in contact with the alien symbiote. It soon merges with him and took the name Venom, thus a new villain for Spider-Man was born.

His intense rage and hatred towards Spidey for troubling hm helped Klyntar bond with him on both mental and physical level. In fact, all that anger actually corrupted the being, which become ever more ferocious and bloodthirsty than it already was. Although the symbiote had a desire to bond with Peter again, he now wants to kill him instead.

It took only a while for Brock to figure out that he now possess all of Spider-Man's incredible powers and because of his already intimidating physical frame, it became more powerful than ever. Merging with his alien costume also grants him extensive knowledge on his sworn enemy as well as his precious secret identity.

Upon bonding together, Venom often referred to them as "we" noting they are two different beings becoming one. It kept Eddie alive from adrenal cancer which he was previously diagnosed with before running into all these and had a little time to live. This suit could also cancel out Spider-Man's unique spider-sense to sneak attack on him.

Birth of Venom
After taunting Spidey a couple of times, Brock decided to pay a visit to Peter's wife, Mary Jane Watson, who was terrified as a result even though she didn't harm her physically. Parker then confronted Venom with a sonic blaster from Fantastic Four but discovered Eddie has completely bonded with it after subduing his enemy.

Though Peter decided to stop using the weapon on Brock thinking it can kill him, when it caught him off guard, Venom took him to the church bell and webbed him up. With struggle, he came out of his captivity and force Venom to exhaust his webbing to a point where he couldn't regenerate more mass, leading it to be captured in a sonic containment cell.

Lethal Protector
Giving up on chasing Spider-Man and wanting to help people, Eddie Brock moves to San Francisco. He got into a fight with men sent from developer Roland Treece when trying to protect a group of homeless people who welcomed him. In their underground abode, he even tackled two exo-suit Diggers sent by Treece International.

He is soon hounded out by Orwell Taylor and group of hired mercinaries that call themselves "The Jury" for killing his son Hugh Taylor earlier while escaping Vault. He made a deal with Treece to save his skin but got tricked into getting captured.

In a secret compound of Life Foundation, their leader Carlton Drake forced him into spawning five more symbiote offspring Agony, Lasher, Phage, Riot and Scream. Spider-Man came looking for Eddie and together they manage to fend off children of Venom. Brock then heads back to California to save his underground friends from Treece.

New Ways to Die
When Norman Osborn called in his Thunderbolts team to New York, they came to stalk Spider-Man and they started with questioning Peter Parker about his bug-buddy but got nothing from him. Looking for his enemy over the city, Gargan eventually ended up at F.E.A.S.T. Center and then stumbled onto Eddie Brock, former host of the symbiote.

The symbiote tries to merge with Brock once again and he retaliated by turning into Anti-Venom. Gargan and his suit are literally crushed by their reverse counterpart and even "cured" him by completely draining him off. Osborn however, managed to restore his suit back and made him a poisonous counter using the immune system of Freak.

These two have a rematch and Gargan stung Brock with the poison that nearly killed Anti-Venom but his suit still refused to kill Eddie. This gave the white substance time to recover and it strikes back to destroy the Scorpion suit. When Osborn initiated a self-destruct sequence, they had to postpone the fight and leave to settle this some other day.

Red Goblin
When Norman Osborn bonded to Carnage symbiote and become Red Goblin, he savagely beat Spidey down before leaving him with a warning to go after his loved ones if he doesn't stop playing hero. Meanwhile, Venom showed up at Stark Tower to protect Mary Jane after J. Jonah Jameson tipped off Eddie Brock but only to spook her unwittingly.

Brock did his best to hold Red Goblin off until Spider-Man arrived and they overpowered the maniac but he managed to hurt MJ before leaving. As he tries to follow Osborn, Eddie lends his suit to fight the hybrid Goblin and even though hesitant, Spidey wore the black costume once again to defeat his worst enemy wrapped in another symbiote.

First off, he saved Liz Allan from falling off and then drove Osborn away from Harry and Liz. When Osborn electrocutes Flash Thompson as Anti-Venom for ruining his secret plan, Peter screams in rage and become Spider-Venom but Flash urges him to calm down. Before his final fight with Goblin, he drops the suit and tells it to return to Eddie.

Rex
Eddie starts having recurring nightmares from Viking Age of a monster and turns out his symbiote was the one having these bad dreams. When trying to take photos of Jack O'Lantern doing an arms deal, he lost control of the suit as it has gone berserk and starts speaking an alien language before being captured by a man named Rex Strickland.

Rex was a member of a Sym-Soldier Program that S.H.I.E.L.D. employed during Vietnam War and asks Venom to help him liberate his comrades. Though reluctant at first, Brock agrees to help him to get answers for his recent nightmares. However, his suit abandons him when he faced the Sym-Soldiers and got impaled in chest by one of them.

A symbiote-dragon called Grendel is awakened that threatens the city and he goes to confront it alone but is attacked by Spider-Man, Miles Morales. Miles mistakes him for the Venom that killed his mother but Eddie manages to convince him otherwise and these two web-slingers team-up to take down the dragon-like creature with Miles' Venom Blast.

Within the beast emerges a pale entity who introduces him as Knull, God of the Symbiotes. He is looking for a missing piece of Grendel to be free from his imprisonment on the other side of cosmos. Upon contacting Knull, Venom unlocked new abilities and confronts Rex, the missing symbiote of Grendel, Tyrannosaurus posing as his original host.

Knowing none of them could single-handedly beat Knull's avatar, they bonded together and faces the symbiote-dragon with an arsenal of high-tech weapons. They connect to the Klyntar hive mind to call Grendel for a final battle and Tyrannosaurus sacrifices itself to kill the beast using a blast furnace while Venom also died off that heat.

Originally introduced on the pages of Amazing Spider-Man, issue #252 from Marvel Comics as a new costume for arachnid superhero Spider-Man in 1984, an alien symbiote that would later take alias of Venom by debuting on issue #300 from 1988 is one of the greatest recurring enemies that everyone’s favorite wall-crawler has ever faced.

Created by artists like David Michelinie, Mike Zeck and Todd McFarlane (Haunt, Image United), Venom eventually became an anti-hero who aside from occasionally teasing Spidey would later become a vigilante as well in his own monthly ongoing comic-book series, after having numerous limited series containing misadventures of his own.

Flash Thompson Becomes Agent Venom

Immense popularity of Venom brought him into many animated adaptation of Spider-Man TV Series and games for decades. He also made a live-action appearance on 2007 live-action film Spider-Man 3, played by actor Topher Grace (Interstellar, Predators) but due to poor character development and bad use of CGI, it was heavily criticized.

Another portrayal of Venom character by actor Tom Hardy (Locke, Warrior) is seen in 2018 live-action Venom movie from Sony Pictures, adapting both "Lethal Protector" and "Planet of the Symbiotes" arc. Even before release, they have planned o bring Carnage as main villain starring Woody Harrelson (Now You See Me, Zombieland) in sequel.
