How Wonderful!
Jul 18, 2006


I only have excellent ideas
The Marvel Comics Presents (MCP #85-92) story that introduces Cyber is very very weird, much like a lot of PAD's 80s/early 90s Wolverine stuff. Definitely worth reading for the Sam Keith art alone but yeah PAD goes to some weird places. I think he had a very idiosyncratic conception of Wolverine as a character and the bits and pieces we get are kind of fascinating.

My favorite weird thing about the issue is the repeated cutaways to Tyger Tyger negotiating while doing increasingly strange things:

The only thing I remember about that character was some edgy jackass feeding him to super piranha in order to win over Wolverine by offering him to use Cyber's adamanitium as a replacement.

Oh yes, the super piranhas of the Adamantaquarium.

There should absolutely be a series like Jimmy Olsen that's Spider-Man torturing his biggest pal Flash Thompson "to teach him a valuable lesson" when in reality he's just doing it because Thompson had been torturing Peter Parker that day.

Assuming they wouldn't lie on a published comic cover, that's really cool they actually got Don Rosa to do the cover.

That edgy jackass was Cable's time displaced son going through a short lived "I'm the new Apocalypse" phase. Short lived because I'm pretty sure Wolverine killed him right about then.

Well, I mean Cable is from the future, and it was his son from then, or further into the future, brought into what was the present, so yes?

I have so many questions about this.

Did Cable raise this kid in the future and they both originally came back at the same time or is this a kid Cable didn't know existed that also came back later?

IIRC Cable raises his kid in the lovely future until he's a young teen. Then Cable comes to the present, with the idea of un-loving the lovely future. Then his son comes to the present from a few years further in the future after Cable left. He's pissed off because Cable left him all alone for years in the lovely future. So now he's evil.

Cable's son used the name Genesis. In Wolverine #100 he tried to forcibly reimplant the adamantium into Logan. He was able to reject it (which caused his nose to vanish) and he then killed Genesis.

He's hiding his AcmeTM Wolf Moan Whistle. Unreliable uhh character and all that - very avant-garde story-telling in funny strips.

"lion moan" is the name he gave his lion pheromone based cologne for men. that panel has nothing to do with the story, it's a flash sideway to the lion moan commercial.
