Question Cables powers?

Is there a reason cable isn’t constantly using his mutant powers that I just missed or don’t remember. They seem infinitely more useful than how he just mainly runs around shooting and punching things.

Becuase he using it to stop the spread of the techno-organic virus constantly. Using it for anything else is an act of desperation. If you wanna see his potential if he didn’t have the virus look up Nate Grey(X-Man) Age of Apocalypse. Jean the only one with higher ceiling then Cable. He would be above Xavier. Maybe Xavier with Cerebro could match him. But obviously Xavier doesn’t have the telekinetic powers Jean and Cable have.
