Traditionally , Cable carries a little arsenal of oversized ( and frankly unwieldy ) guns . ButCable#1 sees him choose another arm - an ancient steel that had been lost on the island of Arakko , Twin Falls of the mutant commonwealth of Krakoa . He shortly learns this is the blade of Morn , first of the Spaceknights , who wields the Light of Galador .
The Spaceknights were an elite group of cybernetic warriors created millennia ago by the Galadorian so as to combat a monstrous race called the Dire spook . Although the Spaceknights are traditionally associated with the character Rom , Marvel do n’t have the rights to that type any longer ; asJames Gunnnoted , that ’s the reason he could n’t employ Rom inGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 2 . " Rom , the story , is owned by Marvel Comics , " he explain . " So the Dire Wraiths , you know , all that story is owned by Marvel Comics . The character and the plaything are owned by Paramount , so you ca n’t have both . " Marvel ’s solution , it seems , is to introduce a new Spaceknight as a sort of Rom reliever . Amusingly , Gerry Duggan has named him " Morn , " which can be invert to read " N Rom " - or " Not Rom . "
Cable is as much a cyborg as any Spaceknight , of course , and he psychically bonds with the steel as presently as he come to it . He get a flash of the past ; of Morn quest after the Dire Wraiths to Earth , and battling them on the island of Arakko . Although Morn was triumphal , he had reckoned without Arakko ’s own grievous dweller , and was polish off by them . His sword had been lost for untold centuries , perhaps even millennium , until Cable recover it . Of course , this is all important setup forthe upcoming " X of Swords " effect , which is about ten mutants who exert ten fabled swords . Promotional prowess had shown Kid Cable holding this ancient Spaceknight blade , which presumptively trifle a major role in the crossover . It will be fascinating to learn just what this sword is capable of .
Cable#1is on sales event now from Marvel Comics .
