Wait, if this was the back-up, why didn’t they have a back-up plan for the back-up plane? Introduced in New Mutants #87 (1990) by Louise Simonson and Rob Liefeld, Stryfe is the clone of Nathan Summer, aka Cable, and was created in case they couldn’t cure Cable of the techno-virus. However, he was kidnapped by Apocalypse and raised by him to be his soldier. He would battle Cable a few times even when the rebellion succeeded in killing Apocalypse. He would also take Cable’s son, Tyler, and brainwashed him into hating his father. When Cable would travel back in time, Stryfe would follow him.
There he worked with Mr. Tolliver (Tyler) and would battle Cable and his team the Six Pack. He would later set up the Mutant Liberation Front and sent them to attack the X-force. After X-cutioner Song, he would trick Mr. Sinister to release the Legacy Virus, a virus that only targeted mutants, slowly and painfully killing them. There were many victims but the most famous were Magik and Moira MacTaggart. It was eventually cured but at the loss of Colossus’ life. He was eventually killed but would return to plague Cable many times, using minions like Deadpool to do so.
Stryfe is a popular villain for Cable, which many considered his arch-nemesis. He would receive a figure as part of a Preview exclusive Jubilee wave but that was extremely hard to get your hands on. Hasbro announced that the same figure will be released as part of the X-men 60th anniversary line.
