User blog comment:GrnMarvl14/Cable is Reborn...to kill the Avengers/@comment-61022-20110916223532

The problem with Cable is that they've always had a hard time keeping him relevant. After the finished the X-Cutioners Song, he was kind of useless because they killed off his two major rogues: Apocalypse and Stryfe. Then he kind of became relevant again when they had him bond with Cyclops and Jean Grey, join the X-Men -- then later when Apocalypse returned in the Twelve storyline and then later in the Search for Cyclops.

It was when they did that he kind of lost his appeal. He was shuffled around, called Soldier X for a while and then got mashed up with Deadpool, lost his powers blah blah blah. It wasn't until he became the protector of Hope did he become somewhat of an important character again. He wasn't even this front and center when he ruled his own island. So I say, this might be good to breath new life into the character.
