How much does Cable creator Robert Liefeld want Jon Hamm to play the time-traveling, gun-toting pouch enthusiast? So much so that when Hamm won his Golden Globe last night, Liefeld tweeted this photoshop of Hamm as the prodigal son of Jean Grey and Cyclops:
Yes! Jon Hamm, Dream Future Cable pick, wins for Mad Men! pic.twitter.com/WDXqlTNkId

It’s burned into my retinas. Not because it’s bad, mind you, but because it looks strangely good—so good that now I’m wondering if Hamm would actually be interested in pairing up with Ryan Reynolds for the inevitable Deadpool 2. I understand it’s insane to believe a quality photoshop would have any actual bearing on Hamm’s interest in playing a superhero, but until a few minutes ago I also believed that no one would ever convince me that Jon Hamm would make a weirdly comics-accurate Cable, either.
