Who is most original psychic X-Men

Since there was alot of confusion with psionic luver's threads (psionic or psychic...), i represent this one with a slightly different focus.

WHO IS THE MOST ORIGINAL PSYCHIC MUTANT IN YOUR OPINION???

Attention...I'm not asking for most powerful or favourite here, it's about character, complexity and/or ability variations etc.!!! Please try to be as objective as possible!

Professor X
Phoenix
Emma Frost
Sage
Psylocke
Selene
Cable
X-Man
Marvel Girl
Franklin Richards
Exodus
Stepford Cuckoos
Hellion
Karma
Moonstar
Mastermind
REM

I know a lot of people are going to say the Stepford Cuckoos but the name itself tells you that theyre far from an original concept.

True to form im gonna say Phoenix lol.

in a large scale id say phoenix cuz of her sheer skill and power, but i looove the way Emma uses her telepathy prolly my 2nd to 3rd favorite character ever! (bliss buttons, schooling rachel w/ finesse), i love Psylockes cool use of her teke, Sage is cool even though shes of limited versatility, her mind is impregnable, Rachel always pops up with something new *where the hell did that come from* and i just adore Dani, using her quasi-tp powers in cool ways like the psychic arrows and weapons, and i love how in X-Men the end she was revived with a hybrid of Cheyenne/ Asgardian powers, theyre all the best in my book

I would also have to say Phoenix.

franklin richards. not as psi-lord, but as a child.

Xavier can read, control, and influence human minds, and cast illusions. He can also detect the presence of other mutants so hes most original in my eyes

Even with the limitations of the techno-organic virus, when he had it, Nathan became one of the most accomplished psionic talents. He went from using his powers wastefully and clumsily in battle to exploiting those talents with utter precision.

AND THEN he had his bionic bits blown off and almost died...

He's nearly died half a dozen times or so. Besides, That battle came off as rather cheap and one sided considering Nathan had no intention of harming his opponent.

i dont think death is much of an obstacle for most of the X-men, at one point or another someone dies and eventually finds a way to return

The Brain Trust from AoA!

I may change my min later, but for now I'm gonna have to go with 8bit. Before there was Martha, there was the Braintrust. Six brains just sitting there chilling in a room...very disturbing.

Now that I think about it, they aren't X-Men so....

the brain trust was interesting, though all they really did was sedate a bunch of low-level mutants and humans.

and i'd picked up my first cable & deadpool right after nate got half his body blown off, and i found the backstory to be quite a laugh. but that's me. as for death with the x-men, you'd think they're all ionic beings or something. count nefaria types...

I'd say something like this:

1. Prof. X. He's an incredibly complex man, not just the disciplined mentor everyone sees him as. The best example to prove this was the Onslaught Saga. The hatred was there. Locked away. Just not strong enough apparently 😉

2. Exodus. Yeah, i'm biased, so sue me. The guy was obsessed with Magneto. I've got a thing for people with mental problems. And I'd say Exodus is something like that. I suppose Xavier said it best:

3. I've been hearing about Emma Frost going crazy. If that's true, then i'm sure it'll make a great story arc.

well said

Another amazing psi-talent is Psylocke. She went head to head with the Shadow King and was able, even with her limited scope of abilities, to trap him. Of course that was at the expense of her powers at the time but still; to fight a psionic entity that's on PAR with Charles Xavier is no small feat.

Professor X.

A man, whose body is frail, but mind is one of the strongest.

you just killed the element of surprise disgust

Stepford Cuckoos 😱

I don't think there are any original psychics out there. They all seem pretty run of the mill.
