Cable: United We Fall #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeCollecting the 2024 miniseries, this volume follows Cable as he faces a new threat that forces him to confront his complicated legacy. The story brings together allies and adversaries from across his history, including members of the X-Men and familiar foes like Mister Sinister and Apocalypse, as Nathan Summers fights to protect the future he was born to save.
In "United We Fall," Fabian Nicieza and artists Scot Eaton, Lan Medina, with inks by Cam Smith and José Marzan Jr., deliver a gripping exploration of identity and legacy, as two versions of Cable—past and present—confront a twisted evolution of Parvenu, whose desperate attempt to uplift humanity through the Transmode virus ends in self-destruction. The story unfolds with quiet intensity, grounding its sci-fi stakes in the emotional weight of two men shaped by time, yet shaped differently, as they realize that being the same person doesn’t mean sharing the same soul. Cover by John Romita Jr. captures the moment’s tension with sharp, expressive detail.

Parvenu attempts to evolve himself using Cable’s transmode virus; the younger Cable explains he wants to let events play out rather than alter time. The transformed Parvenu attempts to offer his new state to everyone on Earth but is rejected and destroys himself trying to force them. The two Cables come an understanding, noting that although they’re two versions of the same person, they certainly aren’t the same person.
