He reads peoples minds, but thats a seperate ability. His ability to map on to nueral imulses seems unable to be blocked.

His mind locks on to their neural impulses, and his body reacts.And yes, his neural reading has been blocked, Wolverine went berserker, no impulses clear enough to read. Also, when Ghost was intangible, X had no defense against him.
Actaully Berserker wolverine did not block it at all. Berskerer Wolverine only blocked out his telepathy which is why it was a one trick poney. It surprized X becuase though X reflexivly locks on to ones impulses he also reads peoples minds which makes him extremely deadly becuase he has almost perfect defenses and offenses.
Intangible did not block it so much as X could not lock onto his impulses becuase of being Intangible. However TP blockers seem unable to block it. X was unable to read black widow mind due to TP blockers she had, but he still reflexivly lock onto her impulses.
X posses TP and the ability to lock onto his opponents brian impulses. TP can be blocked by TP blockers however his other ability seem uneffected.

Normally you can't block the neural thing because you can't stop yourself from thinking, unless you're Wolverine.And you shouldn't be surprised, when Wolverine is berserk, there's no mind to read, and no impulses to lock onto, both of his powers are moot at that point.
Berserk wolverine has a high level of tactical mind. He just has rediculous mental defenses that make it next to impossiable to enter his mind while berker, he cna also switch to pure instinct which makes it even harder.
I know that, that's why I said his neural power can't be blocked, you can block his TP, which is extremely low level compared to most real telepaths, so a simple psi-shield can do the trick. But his neural trick can't be blocked because no matter how strong your mind is, unless you act completely on instinct, which is usually nothing but reacting to whatever happens, then you can't not think, go here, do that.

actaully I believe thoses are two seperate abilities.
Frank Tieri (his creator) pretty much said in the interview that its his telepathy that does that:
I know everything —including how he mastered using his telepathy to see an opponent’s moves, making him the killing machine he is today.
In Thunderbolts Natasha also pretty much said that the whole nervous system mapping on to precursors is the result from him being a psychic. Digimark already explained that in Midnighter vs. Mr X thread, but I'm too lazy to find it right now.
Of course you can interpret these statements differently. I'll respect your opinion.
I propose that we wait for Mr X one-shot. It should provide all the answers we want.
Oh and didn't Kitty use to block TP while intangible?

I've seen Gambit causing playing cards to explode. They're made of paper. Paper is made of trees... so I guess classic Remy can blow up people, too 😱

No, it doesn't work that way. Sorry 😛
