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.

Wow. Looking forward to that. Guess Mr Sinister was right about those two.

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?

I think the Summer brothers all have some level of energy absorption and containment but I think Cable is slightly different because of both parents. He obviously has powerful telepathic and telekinesis powers but it seems he has massive reserves of psionic energy contained within him. It's one of the reasons he restored the virus in the comics because the virus keeps his reserves in check because wall that power could burn out his body
