Cable’s life has been anything but easy. Born as an experiment by Mister Sinister, plagued by a cybernetic virus, and sent to a brutal future as a fighter, he’s faced unimaginable challenges. But now, after years of time-traveling chaos, Cable has landed in a timeline where he finally feels like he belongs, surrounded by others like him. Unfortunately, this newfound peace might not last long in a world ravaged by war and survival struggles.
In Cable: Love & Chrome—written by David Pepose and illustrated by Mike Henderson—Cable embarks on a new mission to help Salvation Bay, a dystopian city, win a brutal battle for survival. However, after a failed mission throws him into an unfamiliar time and place, Cable discovers a shocking truth: he’s not the only one suffering from the Techno-Organic Virus. Now teamed up with the tough freedom fighter Commander Avery Ryder, Cable’s quest to save the city brings a new layer of personal stakes, including a budding romance amidst the chaos.
Cable’s Battle Against the Techno-Organic Virus Takes a New Turn with Love and Hope for a Cure
Cable’s struggle with the Techno-Organic Virus has been a defining part of his life, beginning before his birth. After accidentally infecting Apocalypse with the virus through time travel, Cable was doomed to live with the disease, which Apocalypse ensured remained part of the time loop. Since then, Cable’s psychic abilities have been his only line of defense against the virus. But despite his many adventures and battles, he’s never found a permanent cure for his condition.
Now, in Cable: Love & Chrome, the mission has shifted. After stumbling into a timeline where others share his viral fate, Cable’s quest is no longer about just surviving—it’s about saving others. In the ragged, war-torn city of Salvation Bay, Cable discovers a community of people suffering the same fate, led by someone who might just be his match. Avery Ryder, the city’s leader, mirrors Cable in many ways—she has one fully infected arm, a weapon-filled arsenal, and a battle-hardened spirit. With her at his side, Cable begins to wonder if he’s finally found not just a place to belong, but someone who could truly understand him.
Cable’s Final Battle: Will He Find Peace, or Will War Follow Him Forever?
Peace is never easy for Cable, and his latest journey is no different. In Cable: Love & Chrome, Salvation Bay is under constant threat from the ruthless Prime Conclave, a government that refuses to offer a cure for the Techno-Organic Virus. Instead, they treat the city’s infected population as prisoners. Avery Ryder and her resistance group have been fighting back, but their struggle has been in vain—until Cable joins the cause.
Despite this newfound hope, danger is never far behind. While Cable fights for the survival of the people in Salvation Bay, an assassin with a vendetta is tracking him through time and space, threatening everything Cable holds dear.
However, this time, there’s a glimmer of hope. For the first time in a long while, Cable has found a place where he belongs—surrounded by people who accept him and a chance to make a real difference. He may even have found the opportunity to cure the virus that has haunted him for so long. If he can survive the war around him, Cable might just find the peace he’s always longed for.
