Cable is a telepath and a telekinetic. His powers closely resemble his mother's (Madelyne Pryor).

Cable's powers are much diminished by his techno-organic virus. Cable uses his powers to stop the virus spreading through his body.

Despite this, Cable has nerfed telepathic and telekinetic abilities.

They are as follows:
Vibe-checking - Cable's telepathy enhances his pre-existing ability to be analytical. If there are strong emotions involved in a situation or conversation, he can sometimes pick up on this without a visual cue. He can probably, to a reasonable distance and pending the openness of a person's mind, detect if they're close. I usually play this as Cable being observant with a good memory, but I am happy to have him to more explicitly sense a thought, feeling or memory.
Influence - Cable does not have the power to control thoughts or actions. He can influence a person's thoughts if they're open to it (ie; allowing him to block nightmares or memories)
Messaging - Cable can communicate and be communicated with telepathically.
Low-level Telekinesis - Cable can move small objects over a small distance, he can't fight a lot of resistance (if someone is grabbing the object tightly).
Mental-blocking - Cable has some ability to force other telepaths out of his head, if they pushed back they could probably resist his defences.
Technopathy - Cable's arm allows him to hack into information databases.

Cable can use unnerfed powers at personal cost (letting the virus spread). If it comes up in a thread, I will definitely discuss this and plan it.

If you do not want Cable to use any/all of the powers listed above on your character, please let me know! Happy to use it as a point to plot from as well.

If you have anything you'd particularly like Cable to notice feel free to let me know here OR on a case by case basis you can indicate within the subject line of a tag that you are happy for this to happen.

If you do not want Cable to be able to hack into your character's device OR if you would like to plot Cable hacking into a device, let me know!

Vibe-Checking: Alongside what he'd normally pick up from Leeds, he might catch a weird echo or feedback sensation, where he can sense his own wants and needs coming back to him from Leeds. (Alternatively, if he's around Leeds and at least one other person Leeds can sense, he might notice feelings coming from Leeds that don't quite match up.) Since he's not going to be probing deeply under normal circumstances, he'll probably notice this only if/when things get emotionally intense.

Mental Blocking: If/when he learns about Leeds' ability, he can probably use this to block himself off from the big guy temporarily. The compulsions are definitely more of a passive thing, so they won't be actively pushing through any defenses. Not sure how long he could keep it up, but I figured it was worth noting!

Hacking: Willing to play with this if it comes up! Just obviously need to talk out the details OOC when it happens.
