No. Original explanation was....very complex. It basically comes down to that he subconsciously latched onto the electrical impulses in his opponents nervous system and thus knew whatever his opponent would do. It had nothing to do with telepathy.
does he have any showings prior to wolverine? that shows he was a low-level telepath turned serial killer by the experience of being connected to someone when the person died. it says he just anticipates movement by unconciously reading the targets mental activity.

See there, it looks more like its his nervous system that sort of reflexively anticipates the attack, precog like. In more recent Thunderbolts, its attributed solely to telepathy. Thats why I said 'retcon'. Even if it isn't a retcon, it'd being explained piss-poor now IMO.
Originally he was supposed to be a low level telepath. This was retconned to "reading firing neurons" in earlier Thunderbolts, and now its back to the original explanation.
I like the neuron one more, except that telepathy fits his Wolverine-era far better since Logan could block X out when he went feral, which wouldn't really make sense if it had to do with firing neurons.
Deadpool has worn out his welcome with me. I loved the character back as a legitimate Cable villain, and through his earliest arcs where he was fighting Slayback and such, but hes become comic relief.
Also, I thought Wolverine is more or less resistant-immune to telepathy because of his adamantium skull? Could a mid or low level telepath even get in his mind?
