Actually in terms of over all power and potential they're equal. The theme for X-Man and Cable was the " Nature versus Nuture. " They're both composed of the EXACT same genetic template and exact same psionic signature which is like your finger print. But they were raised under differen circumstances. Many people seem to get that wrong.
Originally posted by Phoenix_Avatar9Since Madelyne is a clone of Jean, they are full brothers when it comes to genetics, twins even, if we may believe Marvel (though i have no idea how AoA Sinister got a sample of Cables genes as a template to use Scotts and Jeans genetic material to copy him?! If it was a coincident that they are identical, than it was A HELL OF A COINCIDENT!)
they are technically brothers, half actually cable is madelyne and scott's son from the 616 universe and nate is jean and scott's son from AoA
nate and nathan DO NOT have the exact same genetic structure. they're much closer to being twins than simply "brothers," but they're not genetically identical. and, as for who's stronger, there's really no clear-cut way to determine that. nate was bred to hold unlimited power that would've killed him before his twenty-first birthday, but often shorted himself out by over-exerting himself. cable, on the other hand, had a highly regulated power level, granted his askani training and TO virus infection, but had much more experience employing his telepathic powers. cable also went through much more flux with his power levels than others due to external circumstances.
up until about a month ago, cable had a power level that made him a literal god on earth. how that would've matched up to "shaman" x-man isn't clear, but it would've been an interesting match.
and i'm pretty sure cable and x-man knocked eachother out once apiece.
Writer Jeph Loeb creator of the character X-Man stated in Cable vol.1, No. 31 May, 1996 " His name is Nate Grey. Torn from a timeline that has since been erased -- He is GENETICALLY IDENTICAL to Cable in EVERY WAY... Including MUTANT POWER. "
It continues...
" But there is ONE striking and disturbing difference. Since infancy, Cable has struggled with a techno-organic virus which DIVERTS his power, as he must use it to hold his ravaged body together. Nate Grey knows no such limits and, like a cancer, his own power is slowly ending what precious life he has left."
End quote.
They're not brothers or twin brothers. According to Marvel X-Man is suppose to be the AOA equivalent to Cable. Just like AOA Magneto is 616 Magneto forged under a different set of circumstances. Are AOA Magneto and 616 Magneto brothers? Of course not. They the same person just forged under different circumstances lest we forget that AOA was merely the 616 Universe set off course and then returned to normal.
You were saying? 😉

so technically if Cable beats Xman...he is beating himself..that's deep.
Nate Grey (X-Man) and Nathan Christopher Summers (Cable) are unlikely twins: both are descended from the genetic material of Scott Summers and Jean Grey. Nate was grown in a laboratory in an alternate dimension by Sinister from the genes of Scott and Jean, while Cable was born to Scott and Madelyne Pryor (a clone of Jean also created by Mr. Sinister), infected with a techno-organic virus, and raised in the future. As a result, their genetic and psychic profiles are identical, although Nate is much younger (having done no time travel) and much more powerful (Cable is actually near or equal to Nate's power level, but must constantly devote his mental resources to fighting the Techno-Organic virus or use to...). Moreover, Nate and Cable hail from completely different backgrounds. The juxtaposition of the two characters allowed writers to address issues of identity and nature versus nurture and explore the complex nature of family relationships in the X-Men world.
