Cable's face scar also took a lot of testing, with Smithson and Corso spending three days trying to find the best solution. "Eventually, you know, it was old school makeup. Mike just said, 'You know what, screw this. Let's just do a collodion scar on him and look at it,' because nothing's cooler than collodion, right? So he does that, and of course, it looks bitchin'." Proving that a mix of new and old-school makeup effects was indeed the way to go, Corso and Smithson lifecast the collodion scar, refined it and made a pros-aide transfer for it which ends up in the final film. "In comic books, it's easy," pointed out Corso. "You can draw whatever you want. But when you do it practically, and it's a real guy in a real makeup, sometimes it messes with your head trying to figure out how to pull it off." In the end, there were two main sets of appliances made, but it wasn't until they got to road-test the makeup that they realized the costume was going to become a nightmare for the pieces. "The problem was that Josh isn't just wearing a t-shirt," said Corso. "He's got shoulder straps and weapons and belts and all this stuff over his shoulders. And he's whipping giant heavy guns around. It was basically a costume and character designed to destroy your makeup." The process of testing and finding a happy medium with the density of the material was painstaking but ultimately worth the time and effort.
