It only seems like yesterday when I first started catching up on Cable and Deadpool's presumably first adventure together, though that's probably the most cliched way to start any blog post here.
Hired by the minister of the One World Church, Anton Kruch in order to steal a bioweapon virus called the Facade virus, capable of altering the appearances of those exposed to it, our beloved mercenary here crossed pathways with ex-mercenary Cable, the latter attempting to stop Deadpool from doing so. The virus however was already stolen in the first place by a trio of amateur anarchists, a regrettable act later when they started melting. Fortunately enough, Cable was able to save one of them by telekinetically extracting the virus from her body, though said fortune ended when Deadpool succeeded in securing the virus himself from an exhausted Cable.
Back at the One World Church, Deadpool was employed as the first subject for the virus to be tested on, in consequence attaining the curious blue shade of skin in exchange of the man's perpetually scarred exterior as the rest of the Church, which existed to unify mankind by transforming its members into blue-skinned beings. Cable, upon infiltrating the premise, was brought in as an unwitting candidate to be exposed to the virus via electromagnetic transmissions and attempted to dismantle everything telekinetically again, only to have his mutant abilities stoppered, which led Cable into a rampage as without his telekinetic powers, Cable's techno-organic mesh began attacking him inside unrestrained. Both Deadpool and Cable ended up in a standoff when the former started melting from the legs up courtesy of the Facade virus.
When it looked as though both heroes had finally breathed their last, the last vestiges of Cable's mutant powers managed to somehow borrow the mercenary's healing factor by drawing in the gooey mess that had been Deadpool and vomiting him out literally naked and not blue. After being filled in on the location of Anton Kruch by reporter Irene Merryweather, Cable transported himself to Singapore, where a new revamped batch of said virus was being produced, only to be ambushed by the Lightmaster, who, as it was later revealed, was also a member of the One World Church. Everything backfired on the zealous bunch when Cable managed to gain telepathic control over the Facade virus and turn everyone on the planet, of all things, pink. Which I fail to see the point of , if there was any, and Cable's raising a sunken space station from the depths of the sea doesn't seem to be in line with anything that had transpired before, as is the case of everything that happened later.
A pivotal point to be regarded, where Cable was inspired in the first place to bring peace to the world and save everyone else from their own madness and all that. Pretty much a mutant Jesus fighting for farcical if righteous ideals, especially when you're friends with a gun-toting maniac.
