X-Men '97 Comic: Cable Assembles New Team, Hunts Apocalypse
The X-Men '97 universe is expanding in unexpected ways. Marvel's X-Men '97: Season Two #2 comic drops this Wednesday, putting the spotlight squarely on Cable. With the main X-Men team lost in time, Nathan Summers takes center stage, leading his own recruitment drive.
Cable's mission? To hunt down the formidable Apocalypse. But he is known for his ruthless approach. The comic asks if his lethal methods will alienate his new recruits before they even face the ancient mutant threat. Preview pages show Cable already assembling an eclectic crew, including fan-favorites Jubilee, Sunspot, and Beast. They appear to be operating as a re-formed X-Factor, dedicated to protecting both humans and mutants.
But Cable isn't the only one building a following. The preview also teases Exodus, proclaiming a "TRUE PATH FORWARD" for mutantkind. His cult-like recruitment drive offers a stark alternative to Cable's pragmatism. It's a fascinating contrast within the mutant world.

Catzye Take
This comic expands on the fallout from the X-Men '97 animated series, which was a huge hit. Seeing Cable step up to fill the void, especially with an X-Factor vibe, offers an interesting parallel narrative. Fans will want to see how this ties into the show's future.
