X-Man is a test tube of the genetic material of the authentic (AoA) Jean and Cyclops.
Stryfe should have the same potential as Cable. But lacks Cables formal training.
Which is why Stryfe would lose horribly to Jesus Cable.And I agree that X-Man is slightly superior (at their best) to Cable. Even Cable admits, that he exhibits all of his TK & TP powers unchecked by the T.O. and some. (in other words, X-Man has developed a wider range Psy abilities).
But X-Man and Stryfe would be a close match. Despite X-Man being a slightly superior, Stryfe does has years of training of his powers. That’s the advantage Stryfe has over X-Man.
Although just Prior to Nate merging with the other Nate (Pre Shaman). He gained much knowledge in a short amount of time, and seems to be closing the gap in between his inexperience and Stryfe formal training from Apocalypse.
In character I see
Magneto taking on Exodus (due to their relationship, and this match being to the death.)
While X-Man takes on Stryfe for the same reasons as above.And I still have a hard time, calling the match.
Magneto vs. Exodus is a close match.
And I do not know hoe Stryfe would fare with X-man.
I see this the same way as you, but I don't see X-man having problems with Stryfe if I remember correct (marvels cosmic is my special 😉) Nate Grey is classified Omega Level Mutant, which none of the other can claim credit fore, And wasn't Cable capable of defeating Stryfe, when Cable was infected with the techno organic virus.
