The reason for the boring story isn’t the telling of this overused format, but the heroes in it (Cable and Bishop) are without a purpose when it comes to their timelines (which are both portrayed as Earth-616). Cable fullfilled what he needed to do with Apocolypse and the traitor issues was resolved with the Onslaught arc.

Am I supposed to believe that Bishop is gonna go on a shooting rampage when he comes across anything he feels is the cause to his era in time? We are talking about a child that he’s after right? This hunting down to kill the kid is out of Bishop’s character as an X-Man. I hope that the story developes one of two ways:

1) Cable & Bishop team-up. (Long, long, long overdue.)
2) The involvement and return of Jean Grey. (Which is totally missing outside of knowing the psi-scale of the child to be enormous and the red hair.)

Of course, now that I think about it, Olivetti sure does butch up the characters - so it wouldn’t surprise me if it were him, just ‘enhanced’.

I’m not so sure on that one man… but thank you for filling me in and if I end up being wrong please feel free to come rub it in lol!
