Kid Cable

The history of Nathan Summers was the same as his former counterpart until the ripple effects of time began having an effect on his reality, including the deaths of Tetherblood and Aliya. Nathan was informed by Blaquesmith that his older self's inability to protect the timeline and not returning the time-displaced original X-Men to their proper time was causing this, as the result would be the eventual death of Iceman and thus the changing of the timeline. Nathan also learned from Blaquesmith that Scott Summers and Jean Grey were his parents and had raised him disguised as Slym and Redd Dayspring. With this knowledge, he traveled back in time to accomplish what his older self could not.

With this knowledge, he traveled back in time to accomplish what his older self could not.

With the help of Paul Douek, Nathan used a Phoenix Cage to resurrect his father, Cyclops, and kept him hidden inside Professor, as they traveled to the present where Cable killed his older self, coming into conflict with the X-Men and Ahab while he gathered the time-displaced X-Men and returned them to the past to ensure that the Prime Marvel Universe's timeline would avoid an apocalyptic future, and his own timeline would be restored.

Cable joined the mutant nation of Krakoa when it was founded, residing on the Moon in the Summer House. He attended a family barbecue, where he traded guns with Raza of the Starjammers. He would later investigate the emergence of a mysterious island, that was approaching Krakoa, alongside Cyclops and Prestige. Despite some hostility from the local lifeforms, in part due to Cable handing one a grenade as a gift, which it then activated, the situation was resolved.

While searching for the missing mutant, Fauna, at the request of his friend Curse, Cable, alongside Armor and Pixie, fought an enraged Arakkoan monster. After discovering that the creature was injured from an object being embedded in its foot, Cable used his telekinesis to remove the object and calm the creature. Upon touching the object, he learned that it was the Light of Galador, an ancient sword once belonging to a Spaceknight named Morn. Cable immediately took to the weapon and kept it for himself.

When a mutant baby went missing in Philadelphia, Cable headed to the scene of crime with Esme Cuckoo. After they made out, Cable, who was actually dating all the five Cuckoo sisters at the time, asked Esme what the other Cuckoos were doing when he was on a date with one of them and if they ever got jealous. The girl claimed her sisters were doing other stuff, when they actually were psychically spying on them from their room on Krakoa. However, Nathan and Esme date night was abruptly interrupted when the Spaceknights from Galador came to Earth, detecting the energy signature from their mythical sword - the Light of Galador - after it was recovered by Nathan in Krakoa's wilds. They crashed into the house where Cable and Esme were hanging out and took the sword away from them.

Kidnapped by the Spaceknights along with Esme, Cable discovered his older self (who foresaw and accepted his own death) had actually left him an ace hidden inside his techno-organic steel sleeve to use against the knights: a nuclear bomb. After retrieving his new sword, Cable lured the knights to a remote desert where he set off the bomb, completely obliterating the Spaceknights. Nathan and Esme escaped back to Krakoa through an emergency portal without collateral damage, promising to see each other again after Cable's date night with her sister Phoebe the next day. Nathan then returned to the Summer House and told his parents about his adventure.

Nathan was a wielder of the Light of Galagor in the Tournament of Swords against the island of Arakko.
