Marvel's telepaths are far more powerful than it's counterpart's telepaths. And for crying out loud, it's Xavier we're talking here.
MM is amazingly powerful; He's Xavier's equavalent in DC. If it's just pure psionic fight between these two, MM takes it.....barely. Each offers something to the table that one doesn't. For instance, MM has been at it much longer than Xavier. His people have been at for millinias, practicing and perfecting telepathy. Although, Xavier ain't a slouch in the experience department, MM takes this one. He was "programmed" to do so whereas Xavier has to will himself to do so. Xavier outclasses MM in power and finesse. Sure, experience can turn the battle to MM's favor but sometimes power and finesses can also do that. Xavier has fought the Shadow King, imprisoned the Dark Phoenix, held back onslaught in his mind for so many years, and when nate disrupted the astral plane and caused a massive telepathic static, xavier was the only one that got through it and contacted jean and scott in outer space. even if it was for a short period of time; he still managed to do so. He has held people in a comatose state. With that said, it pretty much boils down to experience versus sheer power.

regardless Xavier is also one of the most powerful telepaths to exist. Admittedly whilst he would put up a good fight, he would lose on his own. But he has Cerebra which amplifies his powers more than 1000 times. he is gonna be able to mind rape the Dc telepaths.
Xavier is still cream de la cream of the Marvel telepath's. Problem is that he is not nearly as often shown doing miraculous stuff as others ,because he's not a fighter but a mentor and teacher.
Another reason for his relatively low profile are his strong ethic principles and his restraint, which got even stronger after the Onslaught crisis.
I would still bet all my money that he could dump all other human telepaths (including X-Man, Marvelgirl and Cable) if he'd just go all out.
Xavier has awful power, skill, and experience in abundance, he just currently lacks the WILL to use it...as would i after an incident like Onslaught.
Remember: This man defeated Dark Phoenix, Shadowking, showed his potential as Onslaught (it's telepathic aspect), handled Gladiator and Oracle at the same time as if they were puppets and bypassed Galactus's mental defences to show him the pain of a whole people about to die at his hands.
In the given scenario this man, an idol for telepaths just like Supes and Cap for their respective hero types, is cut loose and uses a machine that amplifies his abilities by xxxx!!!
Show a little respect for what Charles really can do!
