Well for one thing, there is a reason that certain Despero's are attacked with Physical characters. I haven't seen energy casters have much success with him.
I seem to remember Heat Vision affecting him fine and Fire making him cry out in pain...

For two, Surfer indeed could absorb psy blast if that were his intention. taking over someone's mind or shutting it down isn't exactly a blast type situation. That would require surfer to resist.
That kind of thing typically takes a prolonged psychic battle and Surfer could start the absorption of telepathic energies at anytime during said battle.

Because you made the claim that Surfer would be fighting off TP and Supes level punches at the same time. Despero wouldn't have to close the gap to launch a telepathic attack, but he would if he wanted to get in a punch.

And yes Surfer can launch his own offensive. And depending on the body, he could get a win. But most versions of Despero seem to be durable beyond surfer's level of out put. Unless you think Surfer can dish it more than the combined might of the jla jsa bruisers.
Do the JLA use their brains when they fight him, or do they fly like morons? How many IMP's has Flash launched in Despero's direction at a time? How many times has Hal or Kyle tried transmutation/BFR/etc against him? How many times has WW used the Godwave or tried to decapitate him with her tiara? How many times has Supes tossed Despero's fire fearing ass into the Sun?
