Cable (Marvel vs. Capcom)

==Summary==
Nathan Summers, A.K.A Cable, is a primary protagonist in the Marvel vs. Capcom series. He is the son of Cyclops and Madelyne Pryor, a clone of Jean Grey. After being infected with a techno-organic virus as an infant, Nathan was brought to a distant future where members of Clan Askani trained him to mentally keep the virus at bay. As an adult, he took the name Cable when he time-traveled back to the past in pursuit of his own evil clone.
At some point, the sky pirate known as Ruby Heart would enlist Cable as well as several others from Marvel and Capcom's worlds to aid in the battle against Abyss.
