Hmmmm... Adam Warlock/Magus > Martian Manhunter
White Martians.... Hmmmm.... Dr. Strange > Moondragon W/Mind Gem > White Martians
Guardians... Hmmmm... Phoenix > Guardians/Despero/Maggeddon 😄
Having Phoenix in there is as unfair as having spectre, imps, and the true Angels in this fight who I haven't forgotten about...
take out phoenix because it's stupid (or throw in lucifer and michael who also possess unltd psionic powers), then this is extremely close. nothing fanboy about it. numbers? are you kidding? there are THOUSANDS or white martians, each at manhunter levels.
i still say dc takes this if phoenix is taken out or evened off by including lucifer and michael.
i doubt it. hector hammond could likely match xavier even WITH cerebro. and wm's ARE acceptable because they are only mortals. phoenix is should be seen as a multiversal force, not a freakin' telepath. include an avatar if you want (rachel summers or something), but to include the pf itself is silly in this type of discussion.
<<And yes, adding the White Martians is legitimate...but it has no style, because it's adding mass instead of characters.>>
i agree whole-heartedly, but most seem to think (and the thought has been prevalent in this forum for a long time) that marvel telepaths greatly outnumber dc's telepathic characters and so marvel wins. they don't. if the thread was EARTH telepaths, i'd easily concede the win to marvel, but it's dc's v marvel's -- all inclusive, though again, i think bringing in cosmics like phoenix and michael and lucifer is rather silly.
Originally posted by Cosmic FlameI've read Stryfe isn't a telepath only a telekinetic - but am not sure of that. So I left him out for now. Is Onslaught allowed?
I don't think Strye is in the list above.
As for the White Martians (and Watcher females etc) imo nameless amorphous masses of characters shouldn't really be included.
