About the series
In 1996, Marvel published Askani Son, a four-issue limited series that delves deep into the post-apocalyptic future of the X-Men mythos. Written by Jeph Loeb and Scott Lobdell with striking art by Gene Ha, the story follows Nathan Dayspring—better known as Cable—as he confronts his destiny in a world shaped by the Askani order. Alongside allies like Ch'vayre, Blaquesmith, Aliya, and Madam Sanctity, and facing the enigmatic "Professor," this series explores the harsh, time-twisted legacy of the Summers bloodline. A pivotal piece of 1990s X-Men lore, it remains a key chapter for fans of Cable's complex backstory.
