Where it came from
Cable #-1 was published by Marvel Comics in July 1997 as part of a company-wide 'Flashback' event. During this month, Marvel shifted the numbering of its ongoing titles to negative integers to provide origin stories or deep-cut lore for established characters, aiming to offer readers a bridge between the current status quo and the character's mysterious past.
The issue was written by Joe Casey with art by Terry Shoemaker. It focused on the complex interplay between Cable's upbringing and his destiny, seeking to humanize the often stoic, hyper-militarized figure. While the Flashback event was largely seen as a marketing experiment to boost sales during a period of industry contraction, the issue remains a notable artifact of late-90s X-Men continuity.
