Cable is a serviceable ally at face value but shines when combo-d with Uncanny X-Force. Especially with 3 THW, Cable is able to clear lots of side schemes all by himself (at least in solo), and draw a card each time he does. If taking no consequential damage, he become a great value engine throughout the game. Not a staple in my opinion, but a card to consider when caring about traits or in a matchup with many side schemes (or player side schemes).
