20 Most Powerful X-Men Villains Of All Time
16. Stryfe
Cable is a very stupid X-Man. Created during the heady days of the “EXTREME” nineties, he exemplified the worst tendencies of artist Rob Liefeld (he was huge, had a glowing eye, wore a lot of patches, had a metal arm) and writer Chris Claremont (his needlessly complex back story involved being Cyclops's kid that was sent to the future).
The only way he could possibly get more silly is if he had an evil clone that wore a pointy hat and was born in the 37th century. Not to be outdone by his original this new Nathan Summer took the codename Stryfe (sadly never teaming up with a cockney sidekick called Trouble), and more powers than his already impressive brother.
An “Omega Level” mutant like Cable, he's not only a crazy powerful telepath, but he's even more powerful than the original Nathan Summer, whose abilities are curbed by an alien virus. He also has your requisite super strength, speed, endurance, and can hide from other psychics and make forcefields. He doesn't need no huge gun.
