10 Insane Times Comics Revealed A Hero's Future

8. The Face Of Cable - Earth X

King Thor
Marvel Comics

Earth X is the bastard cousin of the DC Comics' iconic Kingdom Come Elseworld. Made because of a Wizard Magazine interview with Alex Ross, this possible future was about the world getting superpowers and how iconic Marvel characters would deal with that. It was fine.

There are a lot of insane future versions in this but none more insane than Nathan Summers, the mutant better known as Cable. He is - for lack of any good phrasing - a giant metallic puddle of face. For Doctor Who fans, it's akin to if Cassandra had the face of The Face of Boe. It's awkward to say the least.

On the plus side, though, he's at least the last living telepath.
