Cable

The fans have been waiting Cable for a long time now – but the premises for his appearance on the big screen were missing. Not any more, since X-Men: Apocalypse will introduce the big baddie responsible for the creation of the character.

In the comics, Cable is a time traveling mutant who is the genetic son of Cyclops and Jean Grey. He is extremely powerful, being able to hold his own and even break the Silver Surfer’s board – it can be expected from him, since he was created in order to defeat Apocalypse himself.

Over the course of years, the character was also revealed to have his blood infected with a techno-organic virus and, thus, needing to focus most of his powers on keeping his own body together. He is an extremely powerful telepath, while also having unimaginable telekinetic abilities (during that fight with Silver Surfer, he was also levitating an entire city). Beyond all these, he has innate time-travel abilities, which are activated by Professor X.

If there is going to be a leader of the X-Force, that leader needs to be Cable. And seeing him taking front stage in the concept art, it surely seems so.
