During that period he replaced his TK/TP with technology (the Cone of Silence forcefield which simulated his TK, and the Infonet which kind of simulated his TP), but then he got his powers back during Mike Carey's run on X-men when he was on Rogue's team in the arc where they fought a Mummudrai who reactivated his natural psychic mutant abilities.

More recently, after the Avengers: X-Sanction mini (prelude to AvX) when Hope cured him of the virus completely, he also lost his TP and went back to having limited TK. In lieu of his TP, he had a minor precognition power that gave him uncontrollable glimpses of the future. That's when he used the dumb mechanical arm because apparently his physical arm, which was restored when Hope fully cured him, was atrophied because it had never been used physically. Then later in the Spurrier run his precog abilities had declined to where he only had glimpses a few seconds in the future, which helped him tactically in combat. He also cut off his left arm at the elbow after being infected with some extradimensional virus that caused him to explode at the end of each day... but he survived by uploading his consciousness into a newly cloned body each day. It was weird, but also awesome. Cable had the Resurrection Protocols before Krakoa.

He was ultimately restored, in terms of his powers, by Hope at the end of that Spurrier X-Force run, but was kicked off the team for being too amoral and dark. Seriously. His daughter kicked him off X-Force! After that, I cannot exactly recall how he got the T-O virus back, but somehow he ended up having it back and then was killed by his teenaged self. And then we got to HoX/PoX, and in Duggan's Cable series he was brought back via the Resurrection Protocols with both his powers and the T-O virus, because he specifically told them to bring him back with the virus.

And that brings us to the present where he's in space as acting commander of the Peak, soon to be featured in X-men Red.
I was referring to recently. He's hasnt lost his powers in almost 10 years and has been using it since returning to the X-books years ago
