This is just delicious. “Skids: useless. Karma and Magma: too much work. Mirage, oh jesus just forget about it.” Cable has the all the recruiting skills of an unsuccessful high school basketball coach. This is how Shatterstar ends up on the team!! Rictor has the right idea here.
I would be “going out for a pack of cigarettes” too before I ever joined a team that Cable put together. “Hey where’s Gaknar? He went out for cigarettes and didn’t come back.” Aww who am I kidding I would kill Artie and Leech to be on this team. (New Mutants #98 – Feb 1991)
