SS standing over cables broken body also mentioned that he has seen a cable-esque event happen before, and he wasn't going to let it happen to earth.
I guess you could argue that cable wanted it to happen, but i dont think that was the case, otherwise he wouldent have said some of the things he said,
Also, i dont think Cables durability is anywhere near SS
Yea, Cables durability is his problem in general, he is only a human mutant, whereas silver surfer is a cosmic being, and in the end is why he lost the fight, if you want to call it that.
surfer was disintegrating everything in the area at the atomic level with the force he was throwing at cable. Cable not only took it, but rebuilt the damage, while trying to talk surfer into backing down. Its this expenditure of power that wore out Cable. At that point Cable had been spreading the use of his powers on a global level for weeks if not months. This in of itself was wearing him out, and his time was nearing its end when surfer faced him.
Regardless of how the surfer won, i will agree with your first statement. It wasn't possible for cable to win that fight. not due to cables lack of power or ability, but what he was trying to accomplish. He was trying to bring peace and enlightenment to the people of earth. The only way he could have stopped surfer is if he 1, killed him, or 2, screwed with his mind. The moral situation he placed himself in wouldn't allow him to do either of these things.
As for cable not having time to concentrate on a mental attack, he had time to link their minds, which is more then enough. His power level has been shown to selectively alter memories from an entire city in an instant. If this was a simply all out battle to the death, there is nothing surfer can do to stop cable from mind wiping him or simply destroying him with a tk slam as he did to his board.
Id be curious if his tk would work past the surfers skin, on say his internal organs, as cable has used it to simply stop peoples hearts before to flat out kill them.
