      Finally, a current discussion about Reboot to bring this up in.

      Okay, so Matrix from the later seasons was absolutely just a parody of Cable from X-Men, right? With the gun, and the sleeveless armor, and the gold eye?

        Ahh… Always felt like that was a parody or callback, and never figured it out!

        Yeah, it’s been a while so I looked up the character’s arc and it does seem that he is inspired from Cable and/or Solid Snake (who actually debuted in Metal Gear in 1987).
