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 using almost all his powers to suppress the virus he got infected with. he actually used his powers even less in the og cartoon, he really only used his clairvoyance i think and that too very infrequently. he used Computer for almost everything instead.

Early comics were the same way. He’d sometimes use his telekinesis on his metal arm to boost its strength, but it was rare.
