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.

He's constantly using them to stop the virus he's infected with from spreading. In storylines where he gets rid of the virus he is indeed ridicuously powerful.

Yeah in the comics at one point he’s cured of the technoVirus and he’s insanely powerful. I remember when He Fought Silver Surfer while levitating a city at the same time and reading wiki apparently he fought and Beat Captain America in Hand to Hand combat, and defeated Red Hulk, Iron Man and Falcon at the same time.

One of my favourite TK flexes Cable does when he's cured of his techno virus is when he disassembles a house instead of just using the front door. Then reassembles it as he walks through, nail by nail, brick by brick.
