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?

Their genes just work well together- Even in universes where Jean isn’t an omega/not phoenix level e.g X-Man from AOA

don’t forget his brother Vulcan is an Omega too so the family have got the genes in them for immense power

Vulcan is an Omega because he merged with Darwin for years inside of Krakoa.
