Deadpool game to feature Cable, Death

Deadpool will feature Cable, another Rob Liefeld creation, to help offset the lead character's zaniness.

8

Given how often Marvel characters cross and intersect in their own comic books and movies, video games featuring the franchise characters are often quick with the cameos. Deadpool is a very singular character, but the merc with the mouth is getting some company from the grizzled Cable in his upcoming game from High Moon Studios.

Rob Liefeld, who created both characters, wrote about the inclusion in his blog (via Joystiq). Fellow Liefeld creation Domino is already confirmed for the game as well, and Death will make an appearance too. No word on if the future son of Cyclops and Jean Grey will be a playable character, but his cold, grizzled demeanor tends to offset Deadpool's clinical insanity.

      Cable is actually the son of Cyclops and Madelyne Pryor. Madelyne Pryor being a clone of Jean Grey. Later Cyclops and Jean Grey raised Cable in the far future though they wore other peoples bodies. Later Medelyne Pryor went crazy and hung out with demons who wanted to eat the planet.

      You guys....comics is dumb.

        Dumb, but entertaining.

        Especially dumb when you start dealing with the Summers family tree.

        Still, I rather like post-generic-90s-antihero Cable.

        It's soap opera for people who claim to hate soap operas.

          Reynolds isn't the right Deadpool voice at all. What was the latest X-men beat-em-up touching on the Civil War? The Deadpool voice in that was spot on.

            Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. And I agree, that's the best video game Deadpool voice.

          Before this game was announced I didn't know Nolan had done the voice of Dead Pool in video games for a long time now.

        I'm annoyed they're not using the voice actor from the Ultimate Alliance games.
