2 words. BULL SHIT! that was just stated in one comic with an idiotic writer, logical and clear reasons have already been given why nate is superior and not the same as cable.
Actually, it was Jeph Loeb and Steve Skroce who started it all. Cable vol.2, issue #29-31. They stated that Nathan Summers and Nathan Grey possessed identical powers as well as an identical genetic templates & psionic signature. You do know who Jeph Loeb and Steve Skroce are, right? They're the creators of X-Man. Also in various other issues that both X-Man and Cable appeared in by various other writers this concept was reinforced.

" X-Man – Potentially the most powerful mutant on Earth, young Nate Grey is what Cable could have been in another time, on another world. Genetically identical to Cable, he posses all the same powers – but without the techno-organic virus to inhibit them. "
1.) This statement is from the start of the Cable comic called Blood Brothers which is 2 years after X-Man minus one. It's on the inside cover page when Marvel began using explanation pages to inform a reader of the back story. It's not up for conjecture or debate -- it states facts that have not be retconned as of yet.
Stryfe: “ How ironic we spring from the same genetic fountain. And you seem as divergent from the source material as I am. Some would say I was a clone. But they would be mistaken. I was twisted and sculpted from birth to let loose my hatred – to bring chaos to this pathetic world – and it is a purpose I relish. “
Stryfe: “ You possess immense psi-energies even beyond your comprehension, young one…but not mine. Soon those energies will be completely siphoned from you and channeled into me. “
Stryfe: “ You have that unmistakable psi-signature…you are also a child of Scott Summers. But you are not Cable. Like me, you are a perverse shade of my accursed foe. “

2.) I think this passage is pretty much self explanatory.

They were also reinfoced by Fabian Nicieza in the current title during Cable & Deadpool #16-19. Read the comics! I'm tired of people always debating an issue and when I give proof they ignore it. I've given you issue numbers. If you have the comics...go LOOK at them. If not don't debate me. 😐 Prove me wrong with an issue or comic number. I have the entirety of Cable & X-Man comics. Don't be shy. I can admit when I'm wrong.
