I'd like to add... moondragon actually had to train to use the mind gem effectively... it doesn't automatically boost your psychic power that much just because you're a powerful psychic.
Considering Hood's inept ass was able to ward off Xavier going all out with the Mind Gem and not being aware of wtf he was doing, I'd say Nate with the Gem would be pretty damn ridiculous.
This current Avengers arc is pretty much saying Hood is just about the least qualified person ever to have the Infinity Gems, and yet, he's able to perform quite a bit.
thats what I was thinking, I'm just not too familiar with any of the opponents or if they would have something to counter that
though, I'm not sure if they would have a lot of options anyways, especially given the fight is on the astral plane, so J'onn couldn't try to attack them physically or anything like that
Recently the Hood beat Xavier in a contest of telepathy using the mind gem. I dont know how this plays out with Nate, but his Psi is greater than Moondragon by far.
Gender: Male Location: Hiding from The Doctor, shhhh.....
Didn't he have a few other gems in addition to the mind gem? And didn't Strange ROFLPWN Moondragon with the gem? Granted, she does suck. But....let's not give no limits fallacy to the gem.
Classic Strange with the eye is a bigger threat IMO.

it's not that moondragon sucked, the gems are being properly portrayed as the be-all artifacts they should be. I dont think the hood is incompetent with them either. he's doing everything based on intuition, but his instincts have been very good so far.
^ Like the Watcher mentioned: he's got God-like powers, but is still fighting/thinking like a mortal. Hence him battling others physically, rather than just willing them out of existence.

yes, but that's still pretty good, considering people's historical performances with the gems and the results he's getting out of them. of course, this is in part due to the way they're being written now, but the solutions he's finding with them work and he's getting better.
