* AdaptationalWimp: Zig-zagged. In the comics, although Cable has Omega-level telekinesis and telepathy from his relation to Jean Grey, he is forced to invest most of those impressive powers on keeping at bay 24/7 the techno-organic virus that infects his body. For this reason, he trusts instead on weapons and tech to do the work, although he can sometimes use minor portions of his powers for small combat tasks, like telekinetically summoning his gun to his hand. In the film, Cable does demonstrate this same skill, along with a defensive forcefield, but those feats are never stated to be telekinesis and might perfectly be technology-based just like the rest of his future weapons. His cybernetics are also never stated to be due to the techno-organic virus and may just be regular future prosthetics.

* GoodIsNotNice: He's a dickish piece of work for Deadpool but he has a legitimate reason why he has to kill Russell. [[spoiler: Russell in Cable's future timeline grew up to be a genocidal maniac and murdered Cable's daughter and wife in cold blood. Cable decides to ally with Deadpool and makes a deal with him that if Deadpool fails to stop Russell from killing everyone at his orphanage and walk the genocidal path, Cable will put him out of his misery. Even when they are getting along, he doesn't hesitate to tell Deadpool about his future self in a friendly insult banter.]]

* DestroyTheAbusiveHome: Russell sets the Essex orphanage on fire. This would be less of a problem if a) there weren't lots of other kids inside at the time, b) his first kill wasn't going to give him an unstoppable bloodlust.



* DrivenToVillainy: The tortures he was subjected to at the Essex orphanage and the orphanage director's FantasticRacism have made him dangerously close to enjoy killing and destroying with his powers. Indeed, in the future, he kills Cable's wife and [[{{WouldHurtAChild}} daughter]] with his powers, which prompts the cyborg to travel in time to kill him.
