Henshaw, Tyrant, Cable. In other words, if you were to hire one of these guys to get the job done, who gets the call? First to last.

Tyrant at FP

leonidas
going by feats henshaw is far in front. tyrant may have more power or ability, but we've seen no real proof. cable is a VERY distant last.

I agree.

Manipulating the Source Wall is a top-tier technopath feat.

Galan007
funny thing is, controlling the source wall isn't really a technopath feat at all.

Kris Blaze
Henshaw's probably got the most feats. Cable can't compete.

It sure gets thrown around a lot like one though.

Controlling Galactus' tech on the fly is a better feat than controlling a small portion of the Source Wall over months, IMO.

Tyrant gets #1 spot here. Cable comes in well last.

i wasn't really using that feat as the deciding factor. i agree it's a bit ambiguous as a technopathic feat. still, even with that, henshaw has some uber feats. tyrant MAY be better (logically, based on his power level probably SHOULD be better) but henshaw has the goods to back up his #1 ranking imo.

however, i do agree that hank takes this. controlling tech is what he DOES.

Question to Leo and Galan..

I'm curious if you replace Tyrant with Henshaw and I think what Eny was getting at and what I'm also curious of. Do you see Henshaw taking over Galactus ship on the fly during battle the way Tyrant did so easily?

Didnt Hank have to plug in to Apokolips tech to take over it.

yep. that feat gets pretty overblown. it's not like he commanded the ship to attack and try to kill galactus. henshaw has many of those types of feats. and we also can't just assume g's tech is "teh uber-ist tech is the univerzes!!1!". he WAS impressed by thanos's force field after all. erm

No mention of Jeffries? For shame.

certainly jefferies would have been a far more interesting participant than cable. be a pretty close technopathic battle with henshaw and madison . . . i'd likely still side with henshaw, but it'd be interesting, no doubt.

true enough, but you'd think if his own tech were so amazing, that he might not be impressed by what thanos's tech could do. it's a minor thing, but meh, always struck me as odd.

As would I.
