It has always read as Cable was using his TK to keep his virus in check from taking him over but in the latest issue it was set up that the virus actually keeps his TK in check and two rely on the other so it has become more of a biological function than an active mental one. Small change but big potential difference to cable as we saw by him using his tk to lift the station and how in this issue it was enough to take out a progenitor.
I'm starting to suspect somehow cables natural state is always having his tk on now.
