A book for Hope Summers fans to watch out for! Cable faces his daughter, the mutant messiah of Avengers vs. X-Men in this week’s Cable and X-Force #8.
Hope Summers has been “exiled” from the flagship X-titles. I wanted to share some of writer Dennis Hopeless’s take on the Summers family dynamic. He says he’s explore Nathan’s relationship with the girl he raised and his father, Cyclops.
“I think in both cases, the relationship is hard because of how similar the fathers are to their children. Hope drives Cable nuts because 
she’s just like him. She’s headstrong and self-righteous, quick to grab a gun and solve every problem herself. Cable knows she learned it by watching him but wants his daughter to have an easier life than he did. Also, he trained her for life in a post-apocalyptic wasteland and now expects her to settle down and be a normal teenager. That’s never going to happen.
Scott and Cable have a similar problem. They’re both arrogant tacticians who prefer giving orders to explaining themselves. Their relationship is more complicated because Scott didn’t get the opportunity to raise Nate. Cable respects Cyclops, but as a peer not a parent. And yet, nature beat out nurture in this case because Scott ended up with a son who shares his most irritating personality traits.”
This stunning cover to Cable and X-Force #7 says it all: Daddy’s Home. This will be the first time Cyclops and Cable have reunited since Scott formed the new Uncanny X-Men. It’s likely Scott will try to recruit Cable to his revolution. How will Nathan respond?
