* oh, sorry. I thought the question was: "Who thinks Cable sucks?"

As a child Nathan Summers had that force shield thing that Marvel Girl's telekinesis could not manipulate or hold onto.  For years I had no idea what Cable's powers were other than his glowing eye and half his body was cybernetic and he carried big guns.

This is going to sound sad because it means I actually read those Rob Liefield issues.

As far as I understand it, the majority of his telekenetic power is spent trying to negate and hold in check the effects of the tecnovirus he was given (By Apocolypse?) so its not that effective.

I could be wrong though.

     John's comment about those old "Marvel Secrets" brings to mind something that's often said about a certain member of the X-Men who's been popping up everywhere ever since it became "cool" to have him in a book.  There used to be a time when we readers were always kept guessing what it was all about.  That the secret is now "revealed" doesn't really make it a secret any more.

     I wonder what it'd be like if Magneto's secrets remained so.  Not just his relationship to Wanda and Pietro, but also his face, his "real" identity, and so forth.  Looking back, once the cat was out of the bag, all sorts of things were done to "humanize" the villain by Claremont, especially after John left the book.

     Now, I wonder what went on in that guy's head that made him go and turn Magneto into a sympathetic character and a(n anti-)hero?
