Cyke is teh awrsum right now, no doubt. I can't say I'm generally a fan of his. (It seems to be a trend that Nightcrawler fans are often indifferent to ol' One-Eye.) But I would never contest that he's got a lot of great character potential. It's great to see that being used again - too many cool characters were left stagnant for the past decade, in favor or - well, I haven't figured out what that was in favor of yet. >.<

Yeah, I agree, which is why I guess Cable must be the "traitor" simply because of how he deceived Cyclops and the others both with his death and his hiding the location of the baby. It's just lame, though. To me, that can hardly brand him a traitor. A traitor is someone like Benedict Arnold, who has to be cast out or worse for his deceit. What Cable's done, as much as we've been shown so far, certainly isn't worthy of that much anger, and considering how worked up Scott was when he heard of Cable's death, it's not likely that would happen anyway. I'm willing to bet the word "traitor" was used just to keep us silly Marvel groupies waiting with bated breath for each issue.
