Time, for some, is something that once elapsed, is therefore over and done with. In part, this is true of the soldier known as Cable. Raised in a war-torn future, his childhood was spent surviving under regimes of corrupt madmen bent on death and destruction. Cable was never a boy; he was born a warrior. His childhood was one bereft of joy. His youth, Cable realizes, is something that he can never get back.
A unique scenario presents itself with Cable. Unable to change his own past, he finds that he can do the next best thing. He is given the means to rescind his era of darkness, to strike it from the record of linear time, by returning to a point at which the future is still brimming with hope and promise. When Cable embarks on his quest for a better tomorrow, he comes to discover that there may be peace and comfort for him today.
ChronCab attempts to follow Cable’s life, his decisions, successes, and failures. And maybe, in the process, to provide some insight into each period of his extended journey.
This is a chronological telling of Nathan Dayspring Summers, the Askani’Son, but it is necessary to broaden its focus to include all references pertaining to the interplay between Apocalypse, Sinister, and several other characters who are integral parts of Cable. This site can be looked at in one of two ways. The first is that it follows the growth and progression of a man. The second goes beyond this by suggesting that it tells a story, of a grand scale, whose seemingly disparate elements revolve around Cable, who is not only a link between the present and the future, but also the axis upon which lies a great many themes.
The format for this project is seven chapters, each of them separating one course of history from another. Chapter four ends the major plot and, in some ways, it is the conclusion to the battle that Cable has fought all his life. Appearances can be deceiving, however; new twists and turns can hatch at any juncture.
