Professor Xavier vs. Multiple Man

pileMultiple Man has dupes out in the world. Don't you think that he is enough to defeat any telepath?
I think so.

No. Xavier can control p[eople's minds remember?

xavier was the one who orginaly stoped multiple man in his first apearance when he battled the fantastic four and god damned nearly won agaisnt them. i think it was only throguih xavier shutting of the dupes minds that alowed them to win

since mutiple man can talk to his dupes via telepathy, shouldn't making duplicates allow him some protection against xavier? I never read the one where FF fought the multiple man. I wasn't an FF fan. But how did multiple man manage to put up a fight. Did each of his dupes have super strength?

I don't know but MM could be quite powerful if written right.

He can sense that they're around to a certain degree, but I don't think I've seen Jamie communicate with his duplicates via telepathy. In the Fantastic Four comic, his powers were going out of control as his suit ceased to do it's job of negate the kinetic energy he makes contact with. He didn't fight the Fantastic Four per se, but was there for help in containing his powers.

All duplicates do not have extra super strength, but he has a certain resistence to mind control with fewer dupes. But the more dupes he has the more susceptible he is to mind control (i.e. Mastermind's daughter controlling him during his term with X-Corps). Xavier's telepathy, however, is too strong for Jamie to handle. He asked Jamie to create duplicates for him to use as an extension to his own powers, so he's shown to be penetrated before (of course in that scenario, Jamie willingly allowed it).

However, as the suit was no longer overhauled, in time some of its control elements started to burn out and it began to malfunction. More and more energy was needed to provide its functions and, when the suit no longer generated enough power on its own, it leeched off electric energies from whatever power source nearby. The suit affected Jamie also on a psychological level; he was now afraid of being alone, went slowly insane and felt himself drawn to New York, where he found more and more energy to absorb. As he caused entire blocks of the city to be hit by blackouts, his presence was recognized by the Fantastic Four. The four heroes had never encountered a foe with self-replicating abilities, and soon they found themselves outnumbered as, every time Madrox was hit, he created a duplicate of himself. It was Professor Xavier who, after being alerted by Cerebro to Jamie being in New York, used his telepathy to shut off most of the Madroxes minds, allowing Mr. Fantastic to repair the power negating outfit, while battling the confused young man at the same time.

Thanks for the info.

xavier could defeat loads of unpowred humans, so what's the difference between doing that and defeating loads of MM clones?

He could simply telepathically control Jamie to tell him to shut down all of his clones. Simple enough.

Right Xavier could defeat loads of em but One who is many and the same and different might pose a serious threat to a telepath
