Major Story Arcs

Reverend Craig witnessed the arrival of Cable in the present. Seeing the flash of light and the smoke rising from his body, it didn’t take long for the Reverend to rally the people of the town together and label Cable as the Devil’s Herald. The name seemed even more appropriate when the townspeople saw Cable’s glowing eye and metallic “skin.” Cable used his telepathy to convince everyone that he was simply Moira MacTaggert‘s cousin from London. The Reverend left peaceably, abandoning his desires to kill the “spawn of Satan.”
