History Characters / CableSupportingCharacters

* CanadaEh: Like Wolverine and Deadpool, he hails from Canada, though where exactly in Canada is never specified.

* DropTheHammer: He carried a pair of heavy guns which somehow doubled as warhammers on one mission. They were distinctive enough to be included as accessories on his action figure.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Originally called the Wild Pack because Rob Liefeld didn't know the name was [[Characters/MarvelComicsWildPack already in use]]. When he found out it was written into the story that Silver Sable brought a lawsuit against them and they were changing their name.

* HeroesWantRedHeads: Like Cable's mother and adopted daughter, she's a redhead.

See [[Characters/DeadpoolWadeWilson Deadpool]] for his tropes.

* HumiliationConga: During the first ComicBook/CivilWar he tried to bring in the Punisher, having significantly less luck than he ever did chasing after Cable. After a number of failures, the newly-appointed Director Tony Stark dismissed him from S.H.I.E.L.D. G.W. had the last laugh, though, as Tony later begged him to return to S.H.I.E.L.D., a request he refused with pleasure.

* PunchClockHero: They took on some traditional villains like Stryfe and ComicBook/{{Hydra}} but they weren't really traditional heroes or activists, just mercenaries fighting for a paycheck.

* BadassInCharge: In the ''ComicBook/HouseOfM'' reality Wanda granted him a new life as a S.H.I.E.L.D. commander.

Cable's first wife and the mother of Tyler. A former member of the Clan Askani, she possessed telepathy and telekinesis. She would eventually be killed by Stryfe.

* BossBattle: He appears as a {{Boss}} in ''VideoGame/XMenLegends II''.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: ''Theodore Winchester''.

* TheCameo: Made a blink-and-you'll-miss-it one in the second season of ''WesternAnimation/XMen''.

* TheCameo: His name makes one in ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', being listed on Colonel Stryker's list of mutants. Unfortunately he is TheUnseen and missed out on a chance to be in ''Film/Deadpool2016'', meaning fans will probably never seen him on the silver screen. He also made a handful of background cameos in ''WesternAnimation/XMen''.

A former mercenary and member of Cable's Six Pack, now a high-ranking S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. After being left for dead by Cable, he frequently hunts his former teammate, although they eventually come to an uneasy truce.

* EliteMooks: In ''ComicBook/XMenForever'' he's an ordinary S.H.I.E.L.D. agent still, with only his face to distinguish him from any other generic ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} agent leader.

* ArtificialLimbs: His cybernetic arms and legs, as provided by Weapon X. He later gets a bigger upgrade when Cable takes him to the future.

* LightningBruiser: His cybernetic enhancement make him 350 lbs but he's fast and very well trained, having hand-to-hand combat ability on par with ComicBook/BuckyBarnes and ComicBook/ThePunisher.
* LogicalWeakness: Kane's greatest strength is also his greatest weakness. His cyborg nature gives him an edge against mutants, since he can equip devices built in to counter their powers and cab be upgraded to avoid the fate of CantCatchUp. Unfortunately, he's still half metal, which makes him vulnerable to magnetism and electrical overloads. Also, his PowerCopying upgrade is able to download but not perfectly control one power, technoforming, and attempting to use it can (and does) kill him.

* BaldBlackLeaderGuy: Not bald, but he checks every other box on the list.

* FormerlyFit: Fit and muscled for most of his history, in his final ''Punisher'' appearances he was depicted as fat and out of shape.

* HumiliationConga: During the first ComicBook/CivilWar he tried to bring in ComicBook/ThePunisher, having significantly less luck than he ever did chasing after Cable. After a number of failures, the newly-appointed Director Tony Stark dismissed him from S.H.I.E.L.D. G.W. had the last laugh, though, as Tony later begged him to return to S.H.I.E.L.D., a request he refused with pleasure.

* KilledOffForReal: By Microchip to resurrect his and Frank Castle's families.

He made a couple of cameos in ''WesternAnimation/XMen'' and is named on a list of mutants in ''Film/X2XMenUnited''.

* TheCameo: His name makes one in ''X2: X-Men United'', being listed on Colonel Stryker's list of mutants. Unfortunately he is TheUnseen and missed out on a chance to be in ''Film/Deadpool2016'', meaning fans will probably never seen him on the silver screen. He also made a handful of background cameos in the 90's X-Men cartoon.

* ChildOfTwoWorlds: Like [[Characters/{{Wolverine}} Lady Deathstrike]] and a couple of other characters, Kane occupies an uneasy mean where he's torn between the human and mutant communities. Being an ordinary human turned into a cyborg, and later put to work by the mutant-hunting Weapon X, ties him strongly to the human (and specifically the mutant-hating) community, but his time with Six-Pack, travels to the future and relationship with the mutant Copycat give him ties to the mutant community as well. Like Deathstrike, he has been labeled a mutant at least once for the sake of CompressedAdaptation (ironically in the same work she was, even) and like Deathstrike he has fought for both sides. Odds are those two characters would have a ''very'' interesting discussion if ever they met...

He appears as a {{Boss}} in ''VideoGame/XMenLegends II''.

* KilledOffForReal: Domino gave him a MercyKill in ''Cable'' #24 and he has remained dead ever since, not being popular or distinctive enough to get a revival. [[spoiler:He's finally revived by The Five like many other mutants at Krakoa, after being dead for almost 25 years.]]

* SuperStrength: At his peak he could lift 75 tons.

\\\
A reporter that Cable befriends asks to chronicle his journeys, as per the Askani tradition. Irene initially worked at a sleazy tabloid, but after the Hellfire Club sends assassins after her and Cable protects her as they uncover the Hellfire Club's plans, she publishes an expose on the group. This gets her noticed by J. Jonah Jameson, who offers her a job at the Daily Bugle, which she eventually takes, while still remaining Cable's chronicler and confidante. She later became the head administrator of Cable's island state of Providence.

* DependingOnTheArtist: She's been colored with both red and brown hair (she originally had brown hair). It's not even like it's a mistake; whatever color the artist decides she has sticks for tens of issues at a time. Most of her appearances depict her with brown hair, however.
* DroppedABridgeOnHer: [[spoiler: Offhandedly murdered by Wade in ''Despicable Deadpool'' under orders from Stryfe]].
* HiddenDepths: By all accounts, she does an excellent job running Providence, despite having no formal training in governing.
* HotScoop: A very attractive reporter.
* HyperCompetentSidekick: Mostly during ''Cable & Deadpool'', where she was able to pick up running a sovereign nation incredibly quickly.
* NerdsAreSexy: Described by Deadpool's dreams as "kittenishly sexy".
* UnfazedEveryman: After some time with Cable, her default setting is to, at worst, grown at the weird shit he gets up to. This later also applies to her relationship with Deadpool.
* WorkingWithTheEx: She becomes Cable's chief of staff on Providence, remained his source of information and he still wrote her so she could chronicle his journeys.

\\\
A mysterious KnowledgeBroker who lends his assistance to Cable for reasons of his own. Over time it's revealed that he is actually an immortal mutant from the 17th century, and has been helping Cable in order to prepare him for a confrontation with his supervillain sister Finality.

* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Or "Psionic Analyzation" in the Marvel parlance, but the end result is the same. He has the mutant ability to absorb and process information at a superhuman rate, somewhat akin to Ozymandias of ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' fame.
* BlessedWithSuck: He's immortal and can process information like a computer, but he's also practically an invalid as he never gets up from his chair, doesn't even ''speak'' and is assisted at all times by two faithful assistants who attend to all his, ahem, ''needs'' so he can continue to process information 24/7.
* CainAndAbel: He's the Abel, Finality is the Cain. In a slight switch on this trope, however, he is the older sibling.
* ChromeDomePsi: He's completely bald and while not a traditional telepath, has a psionic-based mutant ability.
* ComboPlatterPowers: A rather oddball combo pairing AwesomenessByAnalysis with {{Immortality}}.
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: He's superhumanly intelligent thanks to his mutation and spends most of his time alone in a room with hundreds of [=TVs=] and radios all blaring information at him.
* KnowledgeBroker: How he makes his living in the modern day, and helped along by his mutation.
* MysteriousBacker: This is how he makes his introduction, helping Cable deal with other villains from a distance before being introduced to him properly.
* PutOnABus: He hasn't been seen since Robert Weinberg's ''Cable'' run ended.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: He was born in 1675 and has survived through the centuries without aging due to his mutation.
* TheVoiceless: He can speak (or at least could at one time) but in the modern day communicates through a computer screen printout due to constantly being bombarded by information (by his own choice).
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Has even less appearances than his evil sister. He's only appeared in half a dozen issues since his introduction, all of them part of creator Robert Weinberg's run on Cable.
* {{Zeerust}}: He's a product of what was considered cutting-edge during the '90s, and... well, it shows. His website in particular is laughable to anyone who's been on the Internet since the Web 1.0 days.

Cable's alternate-self from the ComicBook/AgeOfApocalypse, and technically his half-brother, Nathan "Nate" Grey was created from the genetic material of his universe's Cyclops and Jean Grey by Nathaniel Essex. Possessing no techno-organic virus, he is what would happen if Cable were at the peak of his powers and much, much younger - accordingly, Cable took a special interest in him, seeing him as having the potential to live the life that Cable himself could have had but for the T-O Virus and his destiny. Essentially Cable's "little brother", the two have met numerous times, and share an intense desire to change the world to prevent it becoming like the world of their past (Cable's BadFuture and the ComicBook/AgeOfApocalypse, respectively). Despite initial reluctance on Nate's part, they always have each other's back.

A waitress at a diner that Cable frequented, she's the sole caregiver for her little brother, who has a developmental condition. She and Cable dated for a brief time.

* CoolBigSis: To her brother Kenny.
* FlatCharacter: Aside from being nice and sisterly, she's very... there.
* GirlOfTheWeek: What she ended up being, when all was said and done.
* {{Nice G|uy}}irl: Her defining trait. She's just... nice; she gives leftovers to the homeless and is friendly with all the patrons.
* OddCouple: Being a waitress from Hell's Kitchen, one would expect Stacy to be a supporting character of ComicBook/{{Daredevil}} rather than Cable.
* PutOnABus: After killing Apocalypse in ''The Twelve'' story (he got better), Cable took the opportunity to distance himself from Stacey. Despite her pleas for Cable not to shut her out forever, he went on to do exactly that (which was probably for the best, considering the lifestyle he leads).
* ServiceSectorStereotypes: She's a stock Greasy Spoon waitress, sans gum.

[[folder:Wild Pack / Six Pack]]
Wild Pack is the name of Cable's first mercenary group, the one he formed when he arrived in the present. They were eventually forced to change their name due to legal action from Silver Sable, and named themselves after a six pack of beer. While the group was effective, Cable left them for dead in order to chase down Stryfe.

!!George Washington "G.W." Bridge

!!!'''First Appearance:''' ''X-Force'' #1 (1991)

A former mercenary and member of Cable's Six Pack, now a high-ranking S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. After being left for dead by Cable, he frequently hunts his former teammate, although they eventually come to an uneasy truce.

* ActionPolitician: In the ''ComicBook/MarvelComics2'' continuity he was Action President.
* BadassNormal: No powers to speak of, but very effective.
* BaldBlackLeaderGuy: Not bald, but he checks every other box on the list.
* BashBrothers: When him and Cable aren't on the outs they have this relationship. Punisher also has mad respect for G.W. and teamed up with him happily, even calling him a legend.
* CrusadingWidower: Subverted -- he lost his wife to the Serpent Society, but it didn't deter him from his fixation on Cable. Later he would even work ''with'' members of the Serpent Society in a reformed Six Pack.
* EliteMooks: In ''ComicBook/XMenForever'' he's an ordinary S.H.I.E.L.D. agent still, with only his face to distinguish him from any other generic ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} agent leader.
* EnemyMine: As mentioned above, he allowed members of the villainous Serpent Society into the Six Pack's ranks.
* FormerlyFit: Fit and muscled for most of his history, in his final ''Punisher'' appearances he was depicted as fat and out of shape.
* HeroAntagonist: Not a bad guy at all, but his opposition to protagonist Cable for most of his history makes him one of these.
* HumiliationConga: During the first ComicBook/CivilWar he tried to bring in ComicBook/ThePunisher, having significantly less luck than he ever did chasing after Cable. After a number of failures, the newly-appointed Director Tony Stark dismissed him from S.H.I.E.L.D. G.W. had the last laugh, though, as Tony later begged him to return to S.H.I.E.L.D., a request he refused with pleasure.
* ImplacableMan: His entire existence was just chasing after Cable for one reason or another.
* ItsPersonal: He's a very professional S.H.I.E.L.D. agent... until Cable gets involved.
* KilledOffForReal: By Microchip to resurrect his and Frank Castle's families.
* TheLeader: Served this role in the Six-Pack.
* MentorArchetype: He and Hammer adopted Garrison Kane and trained him to be a mercenary. Having his best friend and student both crippled by the irresponsibility of the same guy was why it was so personal between him and Cable.
* PunnyName: He's named for the George Washington Bridge, once joking that [[WhoNamesTheirKidDude he was named that because his parents lost a bet]].
* RedIsHeroic: Like his pupil Kane, he favors red in his wardrobe. And also like Kane, he switched from red to another color for his brief turn into villainy (blue in his case).

!!!'''Notable Aliases:''' Weapon X

!!!'''Species:''' Human cyborg
!!!'''First Appearance:''' ''X-Force'' #2 (1992)

A former member of Six Pack (and in all likelihood the group's namer) who was left for dead by Cable. He was "fixed" by the Weapon X program, which provided him with cybernetic arms and legs, and he went on to hunt Cable before the two reconciled.
He made a couple of cameos in ''WesternAnimation/XMen'' and is named on a list of mutants in ''Film/X2XMenUnited''.

* TenMinuteRetirement: He tried to retire from mercenary work and settle down with Copycat but it didn't last very long.
* NinetiesAntiHero: Like Cable, but he ultimately wasn't as successful.
* ArtificialLimbs: His cybernetic arms and legs, as provided by Weapon X. He later gets a bigger upgrade when Cable takes him to the future.
* BadassInCharge: In the ''ComicBook/HouseOfM'' reality Wanda granted him a new life as a S.H.I.E.L.D. commander.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: The guy acts like a frat bro, but he's actually an extremely effective soldier.
* TheCameo: His name makes one in ''X2: X-Men United'', being listed on Colonel Stryker's list of mutants. Unfortunately he is TheUnseen and missed out on a chance to be in ''Film/Deadpool2016'', meaning fans will probably never seen him on the silver screen. He also made a handful of background cameos in the 90's X-Men cartoon.
* CanadaEh: Like Wolverine and Deadpool, he hails from Canada, though where exactly in Canada is never specified.
* ChildOfTwoWorlds: Like [[Characters/{{Wolverine}} Lady Deathstrike]] and a couple of other characters, Kane occupies an uneasy mean where he's torn between the human and mutant communities. Being an ordinary human turned into a cyborg, and later put to work by the mutant-hunting Weapon X, ties him strongly to the human (and specifically the mutant-hating) community, but his time with Six-Pack, travels to the future and relationship with the mutant Copycat give him ties to the mutant community as well. Like Deathstrike, he has been labeled a mutant at least once for the sake of CompressedAdaptation (ironically in the same work she was, even) and like Deathstrike he has fought for both sides. Odds are those two characters would have a ''very'' interesting discussion if ever they met...
* {{Claustrophobia}}: Like Storm, Kane is a certified claustrophobe, having developed the phobia after being left to die buried under a building.
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Not originally, but after receiving further cybernetic enhancements by Weapon X he played this very straight.
* DetachmentCombat: He can fire off both of his arms and both of his legs to attack enemies, though usually he just sends out his hands rather than entire limbs.
* DuringTheWar: He spent a year or so stranded in Cable's war-torn timeline, joining the [[LaResistance Askani]] in their fight against [[TheEmpire New Canaan]].
* ElectronicEyes: Along with losing all of his limbs, he lost one of his eyes on the fateful mission in Uruguay. This allowed him to have the mechanical variant of GlowingEyes, a popular comics trope during the 90's.
* GlowingMechanicalEyes: Well, eye, singular.
* HandicappedBadass: Like Hammer below, he refused to let his injuries hold him back and acquired super-prosthetics to get back in the fight.
* HeroAntagonist: During the period of time when he was chasing Cable along with G.W.
* KidSidekick: Subverted -- he was by far the Six Pack's youngest member, joining when he was just 13 years old, but be always pulled his weight and played in the same class as the rest of his teammates.
* LightningBruiser: His cybernetic enhancement make him 350 lbs but he's fast and very well trained, having hand-to-hand combat ability on par with ComicBook/BuckyBarnes and ComicBook/ThePunisher.
* MechanicalMuscles: Like his mentor Cable, his cybernetic limbs are very jacked.
* NameOfCain: Originally a subversion, as despite his RageAgainstTheMentor motivation he was still a hero, and frankly Cable kind of deserved it for leaving Kane and the rest of the Six Pack to die. Later after his original creators left he played his name very straight.
* PowerCopying: After rejoining the Weapon X program he was upgraded with the ability to upload and duplicate the powers of mutants Mega Man style.
* RedIsHeroic: Red is the predominant color in his wardrobe. During his FaceHeelTurn phase it was duly switched to orange.
* {{Revenge}}: His motivation for hunting down Cable is that he still hates Cable for leaving Six Pack to die.
* RocketPunch: His favorite move, and a bit of a RunningGag between him and Deadpool (who is thoroughly grossed-out by Kane's detachable hands).
* SameCharacterButDifferent: After reconciling with Cable he disappeared for a time, and when he next appeared he was very nearly a completely different character entirely, having transformed from a mouthy but good-hearted young man into a babykilling nutjob who was obsessed with Deadpool (originally he made fun ''of'' Deadpool, but had no serious issues with him) and a downright SociopathicSoldier.
* SwissArmyAppendage: Both of his arms and both of his legs are these, as he lost the originals and had them replaced with...
* ShapeShifterWeapon: His second set prosthetic arms and legs are capable of technomorphing into various weapons, due to being made from advanced 40th century tech.
* SigilSpam: As seen in his profile pic, he sometimes wears the iconic X-Men X even though he's never been associated with them.
* SuperStrength: Thanks to his cybernetics. The first set of limbs allowed him to lift 10 tons, and after his upgrade he was able to lift 20 tons.
* WalkingArmory: His bionic limbs make him one.

!!!'''Nationality:''' Australian
!!!'''Species:''' Human mutant
!!!'''First Appearance:''' ''X-Force'' #8 (1992)

An Australian mutant with a hirsute appearance and SuperStrength who served as the Six-Pack's strongman. Sadly he would later fall prey to the schemes of Genesis and died in a confrontation with Domino.

He appears as a {{Boss}} in ''VideoGame/XMenLegends II''.

* TenMinuteRetirement: Like Kane, Grizzly tried to retire from the mercenary business. As with Kane, trouble found him anyway, though in his case the trouble was much more dangerous (and ultimately lethal).
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: He took his codename from the grizzly bear and has an appearance to match.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: ''Theodore Winchester''.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Genesis turned him into a crazed SerialKiller in one of his more incomprehensible plots.
* ComboPlatterPowers: He had the powers and abilities one would expect from looking at him -- Super Strength, SuperSenses, and so on. He also had a low-level HealingFactor.
* DeadpanSnarker: He took his work in stride and traded quips with his teammates.
* DropTheHammer: He carried a pair of heavy guns which somehow doubled as warhammers on one mission. They were distinctive enough to be included as accessories on his action figure.
* FaceHeelTurn: In ''X-Men Legends II'' his heroic history is AdaptedOut and he is reduced to a feral, growling lackey of Apocalypse (which is a ShoutOut to his EvilCounterpart from the ComicBook/AgeOfApocalypse).
* InformedAbility: He's supposedly very durable (durability being the highest ranked stat on his power grid) but Domino was able to kill him with a simple firearm.
* KilledOffForReal: Domino gave him a MercyKill in ''Cable'' #24 and he has remained dead ever since, not being popular or distinctive enough to get a revival. [[spoiler:He's finally revived by The Five like many other mutants at Krakoa, after being dead for almost 25 years.]]
* LandDownUnder: He's from Australia, though it doesn't come up much and he thankfully doesn't drop any trite Australian slang.
* OneSteveLimit: Shares his codename with the Spider-Man rogue Maxwell Markham.
* RedIsHeroic: A heroic (well, until he went crazy) mercenary covered in red fur.
* StrikeMeDown: He knew how far gone he was at the end and begged Domino to kill him.
* SuperStrength: At his peak he could lift 75 tons.

!!!'''First Appearance:''' ''X-Force'' #8 (1992)

A former member of Six Pack who Cable shot in the back and left for dead. The event left him quadriplegic, and he worked to hunt down Cable.

* BadassNormal: Like G.W. Bridge, Hammer is a human with no special powers or abilities besides being a trained and effective soldier.
* GeniusBruiser: He's a huge guy and more than capable of holding his own in a firefight but he's also educated on a level with the likes of Forge. And actually, if you go by his Marvel Handbook entry he's ''smarter'' than Forge.
* HandicappedBadass: He refused to let his quadriplegia hold him back and built himself a battle-worthy hoverchair.
* HoldingBackThePhlebotinum: Cable offered him the chance to walk again via the advanced 40th century prosthetics he'd previously provided to Kane but Hammer refused, saying that he didn't "want to become a machine". While aimed at Cable, the barb was also a slap in the face to his old friend Kane, who never spoke to him again.
* MommasBoy: A positive example, as after he is crippled he returns to his mother's home in the South Stickney suburb of UsefulNotes/{{Chicago}} to recuperate. Later he repays her for her kindness by stealing 3 million dollars for her from a CorruptChurch's bank accounts.
* MissionControl: After Cable shot him, he became this.
* MysteriousPast: It's never made clear how someone educated enough to have a Ph.D in Theoretical Engineering Design ended up as a gun for gire.
* OneSteveLimit: He sometimes uses the alias of 'Hammerhead', not to be confused with the Spider-Man rogue.
* PhotographicMemory: Has one of these and used it to acquire a doctorate in engineering.
* {{Revenge}}: Naturally, this was his motivation for hunting down Cable, and he notably held onto his grudge even after G.W. and Kane had buried that hatchet.
* ScaryBlackMan: He was a massive 6'9" and more intimidating than even the (very slightly) taller Grizzly.
* ShoutOut: When he appears in ''Cable and Deadpool'', there's a poster of Morpheus from ''Film/TheMatrix'' in his room.
* SuperWheelChair: His custom-built hoverchair, which is "more like a personal tank" according to G.W.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Barring a one-off temporal jaunt by Deadpool, he hasn't been seen since the reformed Six-Pack's defeat in 2006.

Domino is also a mutant and one of the few members who didn't try to kill Cable. Possessing the ability to alter probability to suit her, she is also effective with weapons and a mercenary. Cable's first love interest in the present, she would also go on to become a founding member of his second outfit -- X-Force... kind of (turns out she was being impersonated).

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Red actually, and he was covered with it.
