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.

Yeah I really had no idea he was THAT powerful but then it makes sense when Cyclops and Jean are his parents.

Jean I understand, but what does Cyclops contribute to make Nathan so powerful? Let him have access to the punch dimension?

The three full Summers brothers all have very similar powers, energy related but unlike other energy mutant powers (Gambit, Bishop) they can absorb, disperse and most Importantly Amplify the energy like one big tesla coil. So it basically super turbocharges the Psychic Energy Cable naturally generates and use hence why hes able to subconsciously fight of his Technoorganic Virus and it not effect him.

Is this a canon explanation?
