text: No. Even if Maddy and Jean have zero genetic differences there could still have been different genes involved in the conception of these two, either from Maddy/Jean or even Cyke himself. It would be more accurate to simply refer to Nate as the AoA version of Cable, which is as clear as canon has been (rather then trying to figure out if they're twins or brothers, etc). If there are no objections I'll make this change. Cndrblck (talk) 17:38, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Genetically they should be closer to "brothers" rather than "twins", eh? Shareing the same parents is not enough to be twins, you need to have identical genes to be "identical twins", and you need to share the same womb at the same time to be "fraternal twins". I guess that the multiple universe stuff gets in the way of everything. j-beda 12:07, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Relationship to Cable

message: Is he an Omega-Level Mutant?
It seems kind of strange that he is so powerful even compared to Jean Grey but yet is is not listed as an Omega-Level Mutant
Considering he died before the whole Omega-Level power rating I'd say he was.  Considering Moria declared his power rating was on par with the Phoenix Force (before they altered the Phoenix Force origin... again). Dstorres
Stating 'X-man' is an Omega is still speculation though, regardless of how well reasoned that statement may be. Thus it wouldn't be reporting a fact by placing it within this article.Cerulean_flame
I have to agree. Even if it's reasonable to assume that X-Man is an Omega-level mutant, unless it's outright stated in the comics and canon, he's not. --CBG
It has been, check the Omega-Level Mutant page, at the bootom of the list.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.44.20.21 (talk • contribs) 
:I checked out the Omega page, and simply saying "Stan Lee and other sources have said so" is not acceptable. You need to provide a reliable source that can be verified. CovenantD 03:26, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Omega-Level Mutant? 

message: We really should mention that Nate was very rarely actually called "X-Man" within the comics, and for that matter I'm not even sure how the name ended up being used in-universe at all. Nate certainly never referred to him as such. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.203.205.251 (talk • contribs) .
:Dunno. What makes it worse is that the first time it was really used in-comic (the second Astonishing X-Men mini) was scripted by Terry Kavanagh... who wrote most of the X-Man series. Never understood what the hell was going on there, especially since TK still didn't use it in Nate's own book even after that. - SoM 22:37, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Code Name 

message: The History section is way too long, particularly the first and second subsection. Someone should either split them into further subsections or delete some of the superfluous information. It's almost as his entire history, issue to issue, is recorded. It is too much to read in one section.    Xanthi22 01:06, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Too long 

message: This article lists his psychic powers as stronger than Cable's, but once Cable was released of the techno-virus, this became untrue (or at least the difference was vastly reduced). This should probably be mentioned in the article, as of right now, this is out dated information.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.69.80.190 (talk) 01:27, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cable's powers 

message: The character premiered as X-Man, and Nate Grey is his given name. Should the article be called X-Man or Nate Grey?
Has he ever really been called X-Man in the books?
I think we need to clarify this.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vaf2675 (talk • contribs) 21:03, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Most of the plot from the X-Man series is included in the FCB, but it would be helpful if someone more familiar with the character could include a Publication History and issue citations for the plot. I can say the original series ran for 75 issues, but I only read the last 13. Argento Surfer (talk) 14:39, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Should the article's name be Nate Grey? 

message: I've only read about 20 issues or so but is it ever confirmed that the source of Nate Greys power is the Phoenix Force? A single image in X-Man issue 43 seems to suggest that it is, in this issue Nate Grey loses his temper and for a moment is clearly surrounded by a huge fiery phoenix. Do they ever go into this further? As it's not mentioned in the article as the source of his power, I'm guessing they don't? 118.209.111.220 (talk) 10:44, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
