Emma Frost vs. Sue Richards (mental assault).

If emma and sue are facing 10 feet away from each other, what attack will come first in your opinion. Sue's field, or emma's mindwipe/blast.

Discuss and debate... 😮‍💨

Both attacks are as fast as the speed of thought, sooooooooo.....

But, do you believe it takes longer to simply target and apply, or to target, construct, and apply?

😖mart: but wouldn't sue's force have to materialise first

she may think at the speed of though but what of her powers

I'm gonna assume it's a quickdraw battle, correct?

In that case, telepaths need concentration or it doesn't work. When Sue fires a forcefield, it happens fast and once she fires a bolt or whatever you wanna call it, it becomes an independant projectile.

So if the both attack at the same time, while Sue could be affected, it's almost certain Emma will be hit but the blast Sue sent off. If someone distracts a telepath, the bond and/or control is broken. If Sue fires a projectile forcefield and you call her, it won't stop the attack because it's independent.

No.

so bascially sue may think as fast as emma but her force feild will still have to materialse so emma get there first

If my mind reaches yours ( step 2), and you are on step 2 as well, and waiting for step three (construction), then...

But if Emma does, it won't matter, because Sue's attacks are as fast.

Unless of course you're a pretentious fool who thinks that Sue is wrong about her own powers and therefore discredit it.

So wait, we're talking who's assault would be more effective or would hit first?

If she's trying to hold someone in a bubble, yes.

If she's trying to knock someone over by using the bubbles as force, no. Because she just fires them off.

I know they are equal speed, thats not my point.

Step one is to target.

Step two is to use your mind.

Step three is construction for sue, and sue alone...

I mean, one could say IW would hit first because it's more stable, but someone else could say Emma's would hit first because it's pinpoint accurate and can't be dodged.

But to me, there isn't any reason to say one attack would hit the other before the other.

Why are you operating under the assumption that she has to see Emma and go "Right, there she is. Gonna now form my bubble."

It takes seconds. It's instinct. She doesn't stand there staring, taking time to form it and then use it.

Okay, I understand that, but listen for a second.

pretend I have a crossbow.

My bolts loaded.

Your bolt isn't.

I target and fire, you have to target, load, and fire.

Which is more effective?

Depends on how fast you can load and fire. 😉

I'm giving the ben of the doubt and saying both are equal in skill.

i'm saying that it may be instinct but it does take seconds as you said buy also the bubble still has to materialse before it can do anything i don't know how lomg that will take but it will take an amount of time maybe a moment, a second nano second whatever time is constant so emma's is just speed of thought attack whether it's instinct like you said sue's attack is
