The Age of Apocalypse version of Cable — Nathan Grey without the techno-organic virus, making him potentially the most powerful telepath/telekinetic on Earth. Nate escaped his dying reality into the main universe, where he struggled with godlike power and a shortened lifespan. His attempt to reshape the world led to the Age of X-Man.
