Summary

  In Switzerland, a displaced Askani gathers his disciples and tells them about Cable as a young man. (Note: this is told in parallel with present-day events.)

  In the future, after Aliya's death, Cable recklessly returns to a battlefield to save a fallen comrade. Confronting the New Canaanite soldiers, he gives them an ultimatum, then Tetherblood shoots them from a hidden position. The rescued soldier wants to kill the New Canaanites, but Cable stop him.

  In the present, Cable saves a young mutant from an angry crowd. The boy lashes out with his power, telepathically felling the entire crowd. Cable stops him before he kills them all.

  The lesson: don't let anger become hatred and make you a murderer.

  Phoenix reviews the life of Maddie Pryor, since she is alive again (see X-Man 5, 25).

  Note: a catalog of Cable friends and foes follows.
