Episode 141 - Reason to Go to the Devil

==Episode Description==
In which we ring in the new year with Cable’s on-page debut; it’s really the ’90s now; we enter the third major era of New Mutants; what Liefeld lacks in craft he makes up for in energy; we pitch a new “What if–” line; Rusty and Skids are terrible superheroes; X-Factor has probably given up on a lot of things; we speculate at gratuitous length on the content of Cable’s pouches; you have reason to go to the devil; and Cable makes a lot more sense when you realize he’s of, by, and for teenagers.

== Listener Questions ==
* How did Cable die in Second Coming but come back in X-sanction a year later just in time for AvX?
* Is there any aspect of Cable's design or power set that you think could be removed (some examples: light up eye, scarred eye, metal arm, time-travel, telekinesis) without losing the essence of what Cable is all about? Or is Cable only Cable as a result of his many parts?
