Question
what are cables powers

Answer
Hi Joe,

Although Cable has lost the use of several of his powers at various times, these are the abilities that he's displayed on a consistent basis:

Telepathy - he can read minds, broadcast his thoughts to either communicate with others or control minds, and fire psychic blasts.

Telekinesis - He can lift heavy objects with his mind and create force shields.

Superhuman powers - the techno-organic body parts give Cable minor superhuman strength and durability. He can also use his techno-organic body parts to interface with machinery. His techno-organic eye provides him with enhanced eyesight.

Based on what I've read, it seems that some writers have added other abilities (like time travel, healing factor like Wolverine).  However, these other powers have only shown up once and then never seem to be used again so I'm not sure what to make of them as far as whether they are among his regular powers.

Hope this helps.  Let me know if you have any other questions.
