I don't see why Julian's so mad there's no "Father Christmas," it's not like he was told there's no Santa Claus.
We mentioned this issue not long ago, and it's entirely possible this was her best selling issue! And she spends a good chunk of it gagged and bound, but everyone was probably here for cover-boy Cable. From 1992, Motormouth & Killpower #7, "Return to Sender" Written by Graham Marks, pencils by Edmund Perryman, inks by Cam Smith and Bambos Georgiou.
Both of the regular leads spend most of this issue captured: Motormouth gets grabbed by the Bad Boys, and trussed up with a gag to counter her vocal powers; while Killpower had been caught by his old handler-slash-"mother" Mrs. Mullarky. Killpower's escape attempt fails, as two members of the Mys-Tech board knock him out; but Motormouth gets away in a walk after a boss removes her gag to question her, and she screams the flesh right off his skull! Neither of those plotlines get as much page space, as Nick Fury's latest attempt to get information out of Mys-Tech, with a ringer: Cable! Who's working his own mission, one he says he couldn't even explain to X-Force. Fury, Cable, and cyborg Badhand sneak into Mys-Tech Central: Cable doesn't want the other two to find out what he was up to, but also had someone on the inside.
Cable and Badhand end up scuffling with "Bysshe," who may have been a "grade-A whacko" and from another dimension, or both, but had powerful energy zaps. Cable beats her with a mirror, probably because they were running out of pages, and recovers "the Clavis Key," which had previously been brought back by the Warheads, but no one may have realized its power. It's implied Cable had been ordered, by someone, to return it; but we don't see that here. Nor do we see Fury's infiltration, but maybe that's for next time; although Motormouth was probably going in to get Killpower, and that seems like a lot of people in and out of Mys-Tech's base of power!

Huh. So I guess the identity of whoever hired Cable to go steal the Clavis Key will just have to remain a mystery for forever I guess, because I highly doubt it’ll be answered anytime soon. I don’t have any good guesses either because who knew Cable knew anything at all about Mys-Tech or the Warheads. Ok maybe it’s not that far-fetched given how often Wolverine, the X-Men & other MU heroes were used in certain Marvel UK books, but it’s not like they acknowledged those adventures in their own books. Off the top of my head? Either Mother Askani sent him, Prof. X or Graymalkin.
