Deadpool 2: 10 Reasons Cable Will Be Awesome

8. He Has Superpowers You've Never Seen Before...

Another reason that Cable will be an excellent addition to the X-Men€™s filmic universe is his skill-set. He has some seriously unique super-powers, the likes of which have been translated to a big screen superhero movie before (at least not a good one). This will allow Deadpool 2 to up its visual game with some stunning and surprising special effects. Cable is best known for his shiny silver cyborg left arm, a side effect of the deadly techno virus that Apocalypse injected him with as a child. But most uniquely, Cable is a €˜technopath€™, meaning that he can interface mentally with machines and bend them to do his will. He uses these skills in battle, will deadly effectiveness, rather a lot. This would look awesome up on the big screen, as long as a decent-sized budget is allocated to the CGI effects. Cable was a powerful mutant before becoming a cyborg. He was a telepath (mind reading), and also a strong user of telekinesis (moving stuff with his mind). He€™s got enhanced speed and strength, as well, and has even been shown to blast energy directly from his brain as a potent attack. It€™s unclear how many of these powers he€™ll display in Deadpool 2, but it seems likely that Cable will be seen showing off some hefty abilities during the film€™s action scenes.
