Cable (Nathan Summers) (10/12/18)

Hi Everyone,
"Cable traveled across millennia to lead the X-Men in the fight for peace. Born to Cyclops and a clone of Jean Grey, the young, techno-virus-infected mutant was sent far into the future and raised as a 39th-century boy.
His life in the war-torn future hardened him into a peerless soldier and tactician, and when he finally returned to the present, he lent these talents to the X-Men. Along with guns. So, so many guns."
Check out the brand new 5-Star Cable, and find out how you can recruit him onto your roster!

Cable uses his cybernetics and future tech to get the drop on his enemy. Choose a basic tile to become a 5-turn Blue Countdown tile. Whenever you make a Green match while one of these tiles is on the board, stun the enemy for 2 turns and create up to 5 Green Charged tiles.
Plasma Barrage - 12

Cable lets loose a blast from his massive future-tech plasma rifle. Deals 21766 damage to the target. Any damage beyond the target's remaining health is dealt to each of their allies.
Veteran Instincts - 9
AP
Years of battle-hardened experience allow Cable to make his team into true soldiers. Create 3 strength 507 Yellow Strike tiles, plus 1 additional Strike tile for each of Cable's allies still in the fight.
(PASSIVE) When you make a Yellow match, fortify 1 random friendly Countdown or Repeater tile.
Full character details coming soon!

I kinda like the idea of getting more Loki (4 covers) or Kitty (1 cover) when Cable enters latest, but this release store is tempting as well, since Gambit is also at 1 cover (finally re-rostered after the sell), and Archangel is at 12/13 (could top him off and champ him, "get that out of the way" so to speak).
Bonus points: I like how Cable is our first BGY 5*, as well as how he has the opposite colors of Deadpool (so if a 5* Deadpool kept the same colors as the 3/4, they'd have their own rainbow coverage).
Seems like a huge bait and switch for anniversary.
Nice job overall!
This is a vault I won’t be spending any extra on.
He might pair with Daredevil but they have two same colours: yellow and green. The third one could be JJ for rainbow team.
Star-Lord could be another good choice to spam the board with up to 5 more green charged tiles with his yellow. If the timing is good, use Bit of Both to make more green (charged) tiles match (due to cascades) because he doesn't destroy charged tiles created by himself or by his allies.
Silver Surfer could help with his Silver Singularity to consume all those charged tiles.
Black Bolt could be another one due to obvious reason but clashes in colour: yellow and green.
Cable could pair up with Black Bolt and Daredevil for passive damages but you lose out on red and black power.
He doesn't look broken like Gambit.
Please say yes
Will he replace thor in my okoye team in pvp. Nope. Yeah cables green is pretty excellent but he doesn’t self feed and Thor hits as hard. Cable you need to down the lowest member to fire off the AOE.
Will he replace okoye and create more charged green for Thor. Again nope.
Will he become a good third in sim, yes most likely but I wouldn’t even use him with Thor and okoye because Chavez will still be faster for me I’m sure.
I wish pvp was one five star only, it would breathe so much life into both the five and four star tier.
