In the fifth episode of “X-Men ’97,” just before Genosha is attacked, the time traveling Cable shows up and realizes he’s too late to stop what’s about to happen. Cable again appears at the end of the seventh episode, and Cyclops recognizes that he’s his son, Nathan Summers. Jean Grey reads Cable’s mind and learns that there’s an even larger threat about to descend upon them.
Whatever is happening with Bastion, it’s clear that Cable knows something the X-Men don’t, and he will be key to stopping the Prime Sentinel’s plans. Yes, Bastion’s plans for the X-Men are so devastating that Cable traveled back in time to help them stop it, so the remaining three episodes of “X-Men ’97” are likely to throw us for a loop.
Stay tuned as we continue through the first season of “X-Men ’97” with new episodes hitting Disney + on Wednesdays.
