Hey Tankers, Weapon here back with another Marvel custom, this time of everyone's favorite time-traveling Summers, Cable!
Inspired by his last look in the Second Coming storyline, ole Nate here is sporting a variation on his X-Force outfit. Now his costume was a little inconsistent, switching between a more generic X-Force team custom and the more unique version from the promo pics and his last panel, so I went with something similar to the unique version that had the baseball-shirt look. Now normally we see Cable covered in straps and pouches and packs and guns and stuff, but I wanted a more stripped down, more simplistic look. So rather than go all Liefeldy, I gave him a simple harness. 'Course he is still Cable, so I gave him the obligatory massive gun. Now I've always thought the ribbed metal arm was a bit weird. Yeah it works for Colossus, but did all metal appendages have to look like that? It was like the blue-skin-crutch (you know how so very many mutants have blue skin, but not a lot of other color variations). So rather than go with the ribbed look with the Maverick or Winter Soldier arms, I went with the ROC armored arm because it felt more organic to me. Recipe is pretty simple. Head - MU Punisher with sculpted hair and carved scar Torso, right arm, legs - ROC Night Adder Left arm - ROC armored Heavy Duty As always, comments and critiques are welcome, and thanks for looking! |

I have to say I really like the custom, however I am also going to have to say it doesn't say Cable to me, but I do like the custom.

Thanks guys! LWB, you've been turning out some great Marvel customs. I can't wait to see your take on Cable. Since you went with that awesome variation on Sue's costume, and since Cable has had so many, I'd like to suggest/request either:
http://www.uncannyxmen.net/images/co...igcostume8.jpg or http://www.uncannyxmen.net/images/co...gcostume10.jpg And MicahaelJA - I know it's not really iconic Cable and the costume inspiration was really only used (inconsistently at best) in the last like 3 issues of an arc that resulted in his apparent demise, but I'm still glad you like it |

Awesome custom. This actually says Cable to me and I'd like to see it in the comics. It's a good thing you did not make him look Liefeldian, because when he draws... yeesh...

omg does Liefeld suck. But your figure looks sweet buddy. I too wondered about the colosus looking arm and blue mutant syndrome.
Hmmm a new comic event called blue mutant syndrome would be pretty cool.... |

Thanks guys! The Liefeldian look is exactly what I was trying to avoid. Glad you like him!
RR, check out the promo pieces from Second Coming and issues 9, 10, and 12 of the arc to see (kind of) the streamlined X-Froce Cable look I was pulling from. |
