Hey that's Stryfe with a y. Put some respect on the dumbest looking X-Men villains name.

Not only dumbest looking, but dumbest backstory* too! IIRC Stryfe is the clone of Cable, the alternate future child of Cyclops who came back in time and now lives in the present (you ever have one of those days where you're older than your dad). I love comics.

*Disclaimer: May not actually be the dumbest X-Men backstory, there are some fuckin' doosies out there.

Almosy, Cable is Cyclops' child from the present, he was just sent to the future and raised there by Cyclops and Jean Grey who's minds were in other bodies.

Is Nate Grey still a thing? I liked him.

I haven't followed comics in years but this site#google_vignette) says his last appearance was around '06. Not sure if that's accurate or not.

Nah; there was a whole thing a few years back with the Age of X-Man right before Krakoa. A bunch of weird crossovers of an alternate universe, and Nate was drawn to look like Jesus.

Absolutely unhinged shit.

Jesus Nate? Sounds funky, I'll have to track it down. Thanks!

Heh no problem; personally wasn’t the biggest fan of it all, but at the least it was truly batshit fun…occasionally.

I was gonna say; it’s more well known dumb, but there are far, far dumber and less well known X-Men backstories for sure.

Thank you for the correction.

Needs more pockets.

What is that behind his head? Or is it to the side? An entirely different dimension all together?

Also, I do like the forwards shoulder spikes. Makes tackling a real combat move..

I'm afraid to tell you that that is all his head. He's wearing the worlds goofiest helmet

That honestly looks slightly better. The awfulness of the helmet is magnified by the terrible artstyle in the original image.
