It has been stated in the past. There has been nothing stated since she has used TP in diamond form that she can't. It certainly hasn't been stated in Astonishing since Whedon's been writing it. Like I said, perhaps she couldn't before because she wasn't used to her secondary mutation.
it has been stated by whendon(i think it was him) that emma can't use telepathy in diamond form, and if she has then it has been a miostake on the artists part. I am more inclined to believe him over you.
You miss my point. Going by pure will, Storm resisted Rachel with all she had, and Rachel still accessed her powers. Will had absolutely nothing to do with it. It's not a mind thing, it's a brain thing. TPs can affect the brain itself, not just the mind.
yeah, it took all of rachel had to subdue storm as well. and in the end of the story, rachel was concentrating so hard she couldn't even move. psylock walked right up to her, and rachel looked at betsy, but couldn't move otherwise storm would have broken free. also, rachel even admitted that if storm had gotten a lightning field up that she would have never even gotten close to accessing her mind.
I forget nothing. Psi blasts do happen instantaneously. I have yet to see one that didn't. Emma has affected Storm immediately before. Just because it's difficult doesn't mean that it's impossible. Jean has gotten past both Magneto and Juggernaut's helmets, one made by science and the other by magic. That should not be possible, but she did it. Storm isn't that great a challenge. Sure, there's feedback and all, but let's be honest. If Emma wants Storm out, she's out. She can make her fall asleep, have an orgasm, crap herself, drown herself in her own Storm. That's if she doesn't decide to have Rogue run interference from her. Rogue can travel just as fast, if not faster, than Storm. Emma is a world class telepath, and one of the wealthiest women in the world. She's all about using her power to manipulate people and situations to suit her. This would be no different. It's very, very possible for her to come out on top.
they may happen instantley to someone who has no willpower, and no training, and isn't naturally resistant to tp assualts, but not to people that have all of that. when has emma immediantley affected storm before? when emma first did it to storm, it took a few seconds, not instantley. and rogue can't travel faster than storm, she is too inexpierenced to. you fail to realize the fact that storm is naturally very resistant to tp assualt even w/out her willpower. once emma even tries to assualt storm, she summons a bolt which takes a second to hit emma. once hit, emma will either be taken out of the fight, or in diamond form.
