Racist.

Well, you may just be remembering what people were trying to claim happened, SS turning off his x-gene, but he really just got burned out.

ugh, now I know why I gave up on that tournament

my bad: was one of those things where my brain invented the memory of those scans, but I think I remember this exact thing happening before.

Either way, Surfer still had the better showing in their fight and didn't burn out 😛

P5 Namor was getting worked by rulk and thing, yeah i know he beat them and stuff but he still wasnt impressive enough to me ok? to me martial arts ultimately mean expressing yourself.

He got bloodied, but so what? Prime's been bloodied also but the problem is putting him down. And Namor took a hell of a lot of punishment.

I meant more about the part where Surfer uses his powers to do more than just push Cable through buildings. He literally turned off his X gene with a thought. My point being, regardless of how much he is doing, he only matches Surfer for a very brief period and, when Surfer has had enough, Cable gets his powers turned off. Just pointing out, I don't think Cable was a match for him at that point, and a lot of people try to use that single feat to suggest he was (or at least they did in the tournament I was describing).

Mindset has already addressed the X-Gene stuff. As far as the rest goes, we don't know how the battle would really have turned out had Cable focused all of his power on fighting against the Surfer. Also, for what it's worth, he did end up breaking the Surfer's board during that fight(although Surfer repaired it after the fight was over).

no, was it one of those situations where it was "the phoenix force", but "not that phoenix force"?

He called them sub-par hosts. Later in that comic itself, the very consciousness of the Phoenix Force, during a telepathic conversation with Emma Frost, implied that due it being unbothered by the P5, they didn't seem to receive the true scale of its might.

In a nutshell: the P5 were unworthy of the Phoenix' power and were fail hosts according to that issue.

this thread has fairly well detailed my lack of knowledge about comics, wonderful 🙂

Namor's far more powerful imo. Cable's only chance is some kind of telepathic shut down.
