Oh Cable … the memories your armor wearing super-hero self brings back. I can still remember preordering 10 copies of X-Force #1 as a kid back in the early 90’s. Well rounded nerds (in their late twenties/early thirties) will not only feel my pain (those issues aren’t worth the paper they are printed on) but know that the first issue of X-Force prominently featured the Rob Liefeid illustrated Cable character on the cover.

Don’t know who Rob Liefeid is? Hit the jump for an early 90’s Levi’s commercial and more info, as well as a trailer, on the downloadable Cable character in the upcoming Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 video game.

Go figure, you actually can make a living off of drawing men, women, and sometimes furry animals in tights … that is until you have a mental breakdown (sorry Rob). Anyway, Activision announced that the futuristic Cable (or as I like to call him ”Doc Brown on roids”) will be available as a downloadable character in their upcoming Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 video game. Check out the trailer below.
