A clone of Cable raised by Apocalypse in the far future, twisted into a megalomaniacal tyrant who believes himself the original Nathan Summers. Stryfe's vast telekinetic and telepathic powers rival Cable's at full strength — unhindered by a techno-organic virus. He orchestrated X-Cutioner's Song and has haunted the Summers family across timelines.
