Both the Silver Surfer and Thanos have that in their powersets. And both have had their hands full dealing with Thor alone. Not to mention that he's had his fair share of feats resisting powerful tk(not on the level Cable showed, but still enough to set a precedent for doubt on whether Cable could gain an actual victory through such a means).
yeah, i don't think he'd be able to take thor with tk alone, but he could def do some damage and might be able to. it's thor's ability to deal with tp that is the issue with me. wasn't it just shown that xavier put him to sleep pretty easily? he's also got other showings that i know you're aware of, that counter some of his better showings. i'm not really going to argue the point much because it depends purely on how you feel thor would fare against a concentrated tp attack. you think he could handle it (and there is some support to suggest it's possible) i don't (likewise there is support to suggest it.) given the sheer level of tp cable could bring against him, imo thor would fall far more often than not.

Funny thing is, SHIELD made anti-tp blocks were shown to be superior to Xavier's power.
So you're saying that losing to the Silver Surfer was effortless for him?
Iirc, his interview Irene Merryweather had him explicitly alluding to the fact that the Silver Surfer was an unexpected wild card who would cause him to generate more power and at a much faster rate than he had planned to do so:
Heck, in this scan it's even alluded that the Surfer is the one who can push Cable's power level to its limits.
And his remaining power was still sufficient to assist Rachel in lowering the island telekinetically after Deadpool drained his remaining energies.
