Deadpool 2: 10 Things That Make No Sense
2. Cable's Mutant Powers
In the world of comic books, Cable's mutant powers are a major part of who he is, but in Deadpool 2, exactly what they are is unclear. The only time we see him using any special abilities is during the action scene where he conjures energy shields.
Traditionally, the solider from the future's main ability is telepathy, a skill which would have come in handy in the movie. Since there is never a hint of Josh Brolin's character reading minds, it can only be assumed that he is not telepathic within this continuity.
It's disappointing to see an iconic comic book character stripped of the power he's synonymous with, or at least decline to use it for reasons that are never explained.
