silver surfer v prof x: BATTLE OF THE MIND
no power cosmic, they're sitting in a locked room on chairs at a table, staring at each. just ss brain v xavier's brain. i have some on here telling me ss is an omega level telepath. i'm skeptical because the ability for some reason, doesn't manifest very often - if at all. so, what do you all think - who walks out of the room?
During the whole "Galactus made a shield around earth so SS can't leave" phase of his existence, I don't remember Marvel retconn-ing Xavier's title as "Earth's Most Powerful Telepath." So yeah, I'm not sure who thinks Surfer would beat him, but telepathy is Xavier's thing. A few days locked in a room (wit no other abilities) and Surfer would be bowing to the Prof ("Norin, use your matter manipulation to make my legs work again....and make me a ham sandwich b*tch!"😉...Hehe.

Do you lot even realise what omega level means? Its a mutant state so SS cant be omega level. Not even Xavier is an omega level telepath because he is not an omega level mutant. Xavier is an alpha mutant. The only confirmed omega level mutants are iceman, rachel grey, elixir, quentin quire and i think thats it. Heres a small thread on the matter:

Anyway back to the battle. Xaviers the better telepath from what has been displayed in the comicss so i believe he'd take this.

hmm, interesting, gs. thanks for the info. i THOUGHT you needed to be a mutant, but that term was likely used only to explain that ss was a strong telepath and may not have been meant to be taken literally. and i thought there were 12 omegas?
hmm, that seems more empathic. he imbued them with a sense of his peace. he didn't appear to 'control' anyone, just made them feel peaceful.
but its the opening narrative box that intrigues me:
"for an all-too brief moment he bathes the planet below with the resultant energies"
resultant energies?
so . . ., 1) he made this empathic connection for only a moment, and i suspect it had no lasting effects, and 2) what were these energies he is using a result OF? sounds like they came from outside ss and he used them to enable him to perform this feat.
need more context. btw, what issue?

Empathy is a form of mind control, no? He controlled every sentient being on the planet. The emotion was love.
The outcome of the energy that Surfer released was the feeling of love.
'All too brief' is a relative term. Everyone on the face of the planet feeling love for any period of time would be considered brief, in comparison to the way they usually feel.
Surfer once KOed Hulk with telepathy. His telepathy isn't as low level and passive as everyone assumes.
