Many of the X-Men's newest foes have been moving in the shadows and preparing to bring down the new mutant nation of Krakoa. But one major threat that almost targeted the entire world with wanton destruction was the Spaceknights, who came into conflict with Cable since he stole their ancestral sword.

And now, Cable just pretty effectively wiped outthe Spaceknights of Galador, except for Xerek, the seemingly last member of the species in Cable #4.

The Spaceknights of Galador were created centuries ago on the world of Galador to combat the encroaching threat of the deadly Dire Wraiths. Taking a number of citizens of the planet and converting them into powerful cyborg warriors, the Spaceknights became a formidable force for a time. Eventually lost across the cosmos once Galador was destroyed by the Builders in the lead-up to Infinity, a number of them have recently made their way to Earth in search of the Spaceknight blade, the Light of Galador, which has been found and claimed by Cable.

Initially, their plan was to wipe out the native species and take the planet for themselves, converting it into a new Galador. But Cable was able to briefly soothe over the conflicts, instead offering to use the time-machine built within the original Cable's T-O transformed arm to teleport them back in time so they could instead save their world. Realizing the inherent threat of allowing the cyborg army to simply go back and change the future of the universe, Cable instead utilized a nuclear bomb hidden within the arm to wipe out the Spaceknights as they were assembled around him. Barely escaping through a newly formed Krakoa gate seconds before the bomb went off, Cable and Esme were able to largely wipe out the Spaceknights, and thus take out most of what remained of the Galador peoples.

However, unbeknownst to Cable, it appears that at least one Spaceknight survived. In the final moments of life, before the nuke went off, one of the Spaceknights was able to convey a message out into the cosmos. The message was sent 1.5 seconds before the other Spaceknights were wiped out, and was sent to alert the last confirmed Galadorian Knight to the fate of his kin. It turns out that one remaining knight, Xerek, was still in suspended animation when the rest of the knights came to Earth. This means that there's still one last Spaceknight (although the message also admits there's a chance there are still other Spaceknights undiscovered across the galaxy). This last Spaceknight could eventually decide to target Earth - and specifically Cable - to try and take vengeance over the loss of the rest of his number.

The warning meant for Xerek includes a solid breakdown of Cable's powers, as well as warnings about the potential danger of the X-Men -- suggesting that if Xerek ever does awaken and come for the X-Men, they'll know to be cautious before engaging with the mutants. While Cable may have removed a major potential threat to the universe, he may have also painted a very specific target on his back -- especially as he's still carrying the Light of Galador intoX of Swords.
