The man called Cable

With another Deadpool film being greenlit (thank the Gods of geek), and a promise that we'll be seeing Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza's other star from the 90's make his first appearance on celluloid - this post is a first spotlighting that metal-arm before it was cool (I'm calling out you, Winter Soldier) mutant; the man called Cable. Here are some great Cable collectibles...

Cable's First Appearance(s) 
New Mutants #87 (1990) and X-Men #201 (1986)

New Mutants #87

Uncanny X-Men #201

Although Cable was introduced first as the creation of Rob Liefeld (mainly) and Fabian Nicieza (partially) in New Mutants #87 (which is widely considered Cable's first appearance) - origin stories later told us Cable was non other than Nathan Summers, the child of Cyclops and Jean Grey. That lil' baby first appeared back in X-Men #201, making that book a hot collector's item for Cable fans.

PS - If you look at the end of new Mutants #86, you'll see a sneak of what's to come and a picture of Cable... so, which book is his first appearance again?

New Mutants #86

Cable statue by Bowen Designs (2010)

BD spent plenty of time on Cable in mini-bust and statue form. The most valuable is this rare version with Cable standing atop the severed head of a sentinal. Way cool, but goes upwards of 1K these days on the secondary market...

Toy Biz Cable figure (1992)

These ToyBiz X-Men figures are not too hard to come by, but as time passes I expect the value of these to go up some. Many of these were the first ever figure produced of a character. True in this case for Cable.
