Telepathic Battle: Martian Manhunter vs. Professor Charles Xavier

They're definitely peers in the TP department

No, but his thoughts do. Which is what Abhi was so excited about with that Perpetua scene - MMH pushing his thoughts to go faster than Perpetua's while his body stood still and got punched in the face.

Xavier's thoughts casually defy space and time: https://imgur.io/wRgRg4s?r

They are definitely not. Not even close, Golgo.

Why?

Because J'onn is one of the biggest punching bags in DC comics.

His average showings don't make him a match for Mentallo, let alone someone like Xavier.

MM owned Despero in TP, so no.

Same Despero that struggled with Aquaman's fishpathy? Please.

Nah, he was owning the JLA

Like Clayface? 😂

If they didn't have superspeed, their thoughts would have been slower and the guards would have been able to monitor them.


Just because he can boost his mental speed using his physical speed (Flash has done it multiple times) doesn't makes his mental speed slow.

There's no indication that J'onn thinks at normal human speed without boosting it.

He's just collecting psychic energy of some aliens on a nearby planet. J'onn did the same to entire Earth from Mars.

Your second sentence contradicts your first one.

I agree, there's no indication that Jonn uses physical superspeed to boost mental superspeed. Rather, Jonn just has superspeed... except in this thread.

I tried explaining in the other thread that telepathy typically boosts speed of thought and you went "no! Just J'onn is super fast!"

So, here we are. My my how the turn tables. J'onn gets thoughtblitzed, I suppose.

If that's the case, J'onn shouldn't be able to track a supercharged Flash who was moving in picoseconds across time and space (unlike Xavier, his mind is actually beyond space and time) while his body was in a coma.

John Stewart (not Jonn Jonzz) can track Flash across time and space but Abhi can't track his own argument across two pages. 🙁

You and I both agree that Martian Manhunter normally has superspeed (not that the Flash feat is a speed feat...? but, anyways, moving on...).

In this thread, he has no superspeed. And again, I personally think the speed of thought argument is boneheaded, but you wanted to pick the fight, so.... the edge that you claimed he had over Xavier doesn't apply here.

Meanwhile, Xavier has a bunch of feats of his TP somehow moving ftl. And again, high level TP in Marvel tends to dial up thinking speed. So in this thread, where Chuck gets all of his feats but MMH gets artificially slowed down, I guess per your speed-of-thought argument, it's Chuck's fight to lose.

"fishpathy", lol laughcry

It was literally J'onn controlling John's mind and the ring lol.

Except J'onn is still fast enough in coma to track a supercharged Flash.

The fact that you need to do this mental gymnastics for Xavier to get a win shows how he doesn't compare to J'onn in raw power in TP.

Yes. Do you read the words that you type? It's a power ring feat that relied on a tight beam cast by John to go after Flash when Flash vanished.

And even for the purpose of tracking Flash, J'onn and John had the ring. So what is this supposed to prove about telepathy? How is this relevant to the thread? I'm at a loss.

First, Flash was travelling through time and Jonn was maintaining conversation with Batman and Atom while using the ring to find Flash. There is zero indication that this required super speed (whether in terms of thinking speed or whatever else you're implying...?)

Second, the ring is inherent to the feat. John Stewart cast a beam after Flash when Flash vanished. This is a bizarre feat and hardly even a TP feat. I guess it proves that MMH with a power ring could potentially have TP that traverses time, but only in these awfully specific circumstances, and with the assistance of John Stewart.

Finally, this is all irrelevant because even if you were right about the feat (which, lol, you are not), you would just be showing that MMH's super speed also applies to his mental speed. Look, his brain still moves super fast even when his body can't!

And... since he doesn't have super speed in this thread... the feat would be useless. I'm not sure how I can break this down more easily for you.

Hey, I wasn't the one who argued that we should equate thinking speed with power. You're just losing the fight that you picked.

Anyways, glad we agree that Xavier gets the win. 🙂

Yes, but it was J'onn who scanned entire realities using his telepathy. Hell Wally even hears J'onn telepathy in his head.

The ring doesn't grant a comatose J'onn boost in mental speed lol.

He actually tracks and talks with Flash who was moving at picosecond level speed and you think no speed was involved?

The ring only had a lifeline to Wally, it provided a connection. Tracking him and talking to him at superspeed is all J'onn.

Lolwut? How's his mental speed connected to his physical speed?

You've tied yourself into knots here.

Lol, lmao even. J'onn mindrapes Xavier, since you can barely post a feat here. Glad we agree.

Xavier I can see winning a majority, though I'm sure J'onn would put up a tough fight.

Marvel telepaths usually take fights to the Astral Plane... and this is where Xavier shines.

So I agree with the majority - Xavier wins more often than not.
