Per Word Of God Logan is on a different timeline from the main X-verse, and thus the future Cable comes from.


* It was mentioned in ''Logan'' that there are no more mutants in the future. This seems to be contradicted by Cable... until you remember that in no moment did he use any mutant powers, and may well be just a common man with loads of technological gadgets. The closest thing to a mutant power was when he took back the rifle, but that could be either telekinesis or just a technological advantage of the rifle; he did not use that "power" with anything else.

** With Wade wearing the power suppression collar, he really would have died in the original timeline as Cable never gave him the chance to escape. That's why Cable didn't recognize Wade despite his power giving him near immortality.

\n* It is more or less stated by that the creators that Film/{{Logan}} is not canon and is an alternate timeline. Like stated before, [[spoiler:this is justified by Cable and Deadpool's use of the time watch. With the past changed a second time in the X-men franchise and some "loose-ends" being tied up, Logan won't be on a crash course with death now. Somehow... We don't know yet how Cable's presence or Deadpool's meddling stops all those events yet.]]

\n* In the beginning of the film, Deadpool references [[Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice Batman v Superman]], specifically that he was "fighting a guy in a cape until I found out both our moms were named Martha". Later in the film, in his first exchange with Cable, he quotes "I'm Batman". So Wade = Batman, Cable = Superman, and they both fight each other throughout most of the film but team up in the end to take down a bigger, unstoppable threat. [[spoiler: Also, one of them ends up dying and the other [[Film/JusticeLeague2017 brings them back to life, although it doesn't take them a whole other movie to do it]].]]

* Deadpool's desire to make X-Force as a "gender-neutral alternative" to the implied patriarchy of a team called the X-''Men'' seems like HypocriticalHumor on his part, considering Domino is [[TheSmurfettePrinciple the only female member to sign up.]] [[spoiler: Then all the other members are killed and the X-Men members who show up at the climax (Colossus, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Yuko) to help Deadpool, Cable, and Domino ends up balancing out the gender ratio, serving as an even better example of the diverse superhero team Deadpool was aiming for.]]

* How does Yukio have electric powers and is in the X-Mansion instead of living with the Yashida's like the old timeline? Well, with the revelation that Ichirō was EvilAllAlong in Film/TheWolverine, Logan might have told Charles about her to prevent Ichirō from adopting her and trained her in the X-Mansion, where she unlocked her electric abilities.

** That might explain how she ended up in the X-Mansion, but not how she went from having precognition about the manner of peoples' deaths, to electricity-based powers. It's much more simply because ''Deadpool 2'' and ''The Wolverine'' are set in ''different universes'' because of the timeline change.

* Why would they keep in Shatterstar's ridiculous origin while keeping Juggernaut a generic mutant (unlike his comic book incarnation, where he's a human that's been empowered by a deity named Cyttorak)? Well, if you pay attention in the movie, Juggernaut's never actually referred to as a mutant by Wade (who's a big fan of his), nor does he himself claim he is one. He's being kept in the Icebox, which IS a prison for Mutants, but he's not restrained by the same power-sapping necklaces that all of the regular mutants are. Instead, he's housed away and restrained much more carefully than the other mutants. Why would they need to go through all that extra trouble if simply slapping a neck restraint on him will deprive him of his dangerous powers? Simple; like Shatterstar, Juggernaut keeps his original origin, and isn't a Mutant at all, so the neck restraints won't do anything to him. It's likely that, as a dangerous human with superpowers, keeping him in the Icebox was more out of convenience than anything else, as it's already a high-security prison for superpowered individuals.

* How does Cable exist when the future of ''Logan'' showed that no new Mutants has been born in the last 25 Years? Well remember Logan and Laura did take out the lead scientist that caused the sterlizatiin of Mutant births in the first place and its likely the X-gene started to slowly re-emerge again.

** Real world governments aren't going to invest in a second widespread method of mutant control when the first one already works, meaning that the Essex mutant collars would have invalidated the need to develop the corn syrup. The Logan timeline most likely came about from Firefist killing the Essex people as intended, thus leading to the development of corn syrup as a replacement.

** In fact, the entire thing could be a reference to the Thanos-Death-Deadpool triangle. In the comic, to prevent Deadpool getting Death, Thanos cursed Deadpool with living. [[spoiler:In the movie, the man who share the same actor with Thanos used his power to prevent Deadpool's death, which also prevent Deadpool to be reunited with his love one in the afterlife.]]

* Music/CelineDion's ''Ashes'' actually ties in perfectly to the film's main theme of redemption. Cable plans to kill Russell to prevent a bad future, while Wade's team believes they can change Russell to prevent him from ever causing the bad future. Wade himself is truly a hero despite his rough edges, therefore also being beauty that rose from ashes.

It has never been confirmed that Logan is set in a third timeline. In fact, that has been debunked by James Mangold himself.


** It’s been confirmed that ''Logan'' takes place in an AlternateTimeline so it’s likely Cable just hails from a different future.



* With the reveal that ''Logan'' is in fact set in a AlternateTimeline it is possible that the future Cable hails from is the future that awaits the New Timeline of the X-Men.

* The collars that inhibit Mutant powers. The very kind of things that were seen in the BadFuture in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. It means parts of such a future are ''still happening'' despite the [[RetCon changes to the past]] that led to the current timeline. It's only used on Mutants who became criminals... yet. Essex's plans are probably not stopping there, even though they haven't gone as far as Trask Industries and their Sentinels.

* It seems odd Wade would try to use the same sword parry he did in ''X-Men Origins: Wolverine'' when he already has a healing factor and knows he can tank the bullets with no problem... until you remember that due to his 4th wall awareness Wade probably remembers the events of that film (whether he wants to or not) even after the X-Men changed the timeline and probably decided it was worth a shot.
