I never make a blunt statement about anything unless i know it to be fact or i have a wealth of supporting evidence at hand LK. All the above is your understanding of the I Gems, your opinion and whilst i respect that in light of whats actually stated in the comics it is conclusively incorrect.
The gems are called the Infinity Gems because Thanos chose to call them so in "Thanos Quest". Why? Because:
a) They were previously all called the soul gems, which he deemed silly because only one of them actually gave control over the soul
b) They all gave a measure of control over the aspects which make up reality
While its true that the power a wielder of one of the gems can employ is dependent on their knowledge and skill, without the Power Gem being wielded in unison and therefore boosting the other gems power to a virtually infinite scale a wielder will always be limited and far from possess unlimited power. This point has made quite obvious from the number of capable and experienced people who have possessed individual gems (i.e Adam Warlock, Moondragon ) and far from displayed power on the level your opinion w suggest they could. Regardless so as to disprove this notion beyond all doubt here Thanos actually states on panel that its the Power gem that boosts the others to infinite proportions:
Given all that in mind Xavier loses 10/10. He doesnt stand the remotest chance against the combined telepathic forces of the two universes. On top of that as aforementioned the I Gems as stated in the latest Handbook tap into the Big Bang for power. Phoenix would be in opposition. That says it all. 😉

I think you miss understood. Thanos said the power gem backs the other gems up, not boosts them. Sorry, but the power gem simply gives the wielder potentially unlimited physical attributes. If you have any other scans though I'll gladly be proven wrong 🙂
Xavier still loses here however.

If you were to re-read the scene again you would see that it states that the Power Gem backs the others up with Infinite Power, something they would not have access to as standalone tools my friend. 😉
As for your assessment on the Power Gem and the abilities it bestows upon wielders well that unfortunately is only half the story. The Power Gem was underused by the likes of Champion and Drax to only enhance their physical attributes (i.e their strength and durability) however as stated on panel it can be applied to any force, it gives access to a virtually unlimited reservoir of energy.
So with the Power Gem used in concert with the others a wielder is able to manipulate all facets of reality on a virtually infinite scale.
Dont worry about it mate. We all make mistakes. 🙁
With the Mind Gem? Hell, that's it. Xavier defeats all. Including Phoenix. With his iron-clad will and sheer power already, and then being able to unlock and tap into the awesome power of the gem...I don't see any way of beating him. He would literally become the damn essence telepathy itself. I say he wins.

You havent read the thread have you? 😉
If you had then you'd see why the logic behind this post is greatly at fault given all thats been stated here. Have a read.

No, I read the thread, GS. And the day that I start basing my answers soley on what other people have "stated" is the day that I stop posting on this forum.
Since apparently I must now repeat myself, I think that Xavier has a very good chance of winning this match with all of the extreme additions he's been armed with. Of course, this is my opinion based on my pretty decent knowledge of the subject.

My opinion isnt the sole component of my posts. Theyre backed up with scans and references actually stating the points ive been trying to make. So to ignore that is rather silly.
Given that:
a) The mind gem on its own does not give access to anywhere near infinite power
b) The mind gems power stems from the Big Bang as stated in the latest bio (and we all know what the Big Bang is 😉
c) Cerebra only multiplies his range to global status
d) He's against the combined telepathic forces of both universes
Xavier doesnt stand the remotest chance. He wouldnt stand a chance against one universe yet alone both. Any high level cosmic alone could take him out. Phoenix alone would annihilate him. When you actually take all factors into consideration, anyone with common sense would see that Xavier loses in all circumstances against these odds. 😎

Xavier would lose horribly. Its the Power Gem of the Infinity Gauntlet that provides the universal scale power and boosts the other gems. When not used in unison with the Power gem the Mind Gem would just be a conduit for a vast amount of psionic power but Xavier would be far from unbeatable.Xavier would lose to the fundamental forces of one universe let alone two. The lastest handbook states that apparrently both the Infinity Gems and the Power Primordial derive their power from the Big Bang and we all know what the Big Bang is 😉
Xavier loses 10/10
Originally posted by GalacticStormActually, does Phoenix REALLY count as a telepath? Jean Grey, sure. But when she's channelling the Phoenix Force, she's using the Phoenix's abilities to rearrange matter. The PF itself doesn't count as a telepath anymore than Enternity or LT.
