Re: Re: Technopathy vs Telepathy vs Telekinesis vs Magnetism

rank from most useful to least1) telepathy

4) technopathy
anyways... i use the TP to make me immortal after a while body jumping when its time and manipulating women for certain things..
anyways... reason that TK cant do the same as Magnetism is that usually a specific type of Psychokinesis gives a person a certain lvl of innate control that doesnt need to be learn.
being solely a TK user one would have to practice and learn to manipulate fine motor control on a molecular or sub atomic lvl on an object rather then just making giant force field and surrounding an object and lifting it or shaping it.

I realize that, but you could have godly tk and still not have the mental capacity to perform such complicated processes.

You realize how maddeningly complex rearranging even a relatively simple macro-molecule mentally would be right?
Practice makes perfect, and I'm a patient man. Also why I asked to what degree the powers are granted. Another good question would be what level of proficiency would we have?
In my opinion, the thinking man's choice would be telekinesis given the possible applications.

b4 then Phoenix had to learn finely tuned exercises.. same for Psylocke and even Rachael.. Cable also practiced a lot and only knew text book knowledge of how high end TK is suppose to work which help facilitate in his powered amp feats...
hmm.. who else?
i guess Exodus has more of a brute TK user as well but he learned pretty quick using his powers in exotic ways.. same for Legion but i think legion was stealing knowledge from his dad and some of it was intuitive or taken from the X-men..
i guess it depends, i dont think for the most part a powerful TK user will have innate skill.

That depends on the application. Moving a book or moving a ball with your mind is likely easy lifting. Disassembling and reassembling a car or some other complex machinery in working order with your mind, on the other hand...

Alchemy is not the only worthwhile application. It's one of many. I'd try to learn how to control my metabolism first. Once I have that mastered it would give me more time to learn more exotic applications. I'm not the instant gratification type. Telekinetic mastery has a lot of possibilities with patience.
Without power level being established...TK, fer shur. Telepathy won't work against nonliving matter; magnetism (strictly speaking) works only on ferrous materials (if you're going to allow molecular manipulation, then that would hold for TK, too); and technopathy...if I understand this right, it's useless w/o tech to manipulate.
As Illadelph stated, the power levels the OP intended could change my answer.
I actually discuss this with my friends every once in a while. In general, I opt for telepathy in the real world. Even at lower levels, it has more readily available benefits than most superpowers honestly.
In comics, I'd probably go with telekinesis though. Having powers in comics basically means combat will find you eventually. As Konton stated, telepathy resistance is fairly common. I'd feel safer with TK. The ability to block gunfire and other assaults would be quite useful.

Originally posted by King CastleExactly my point. They have an innate basic knowledge of the world because of their powers, which allows them to manipulate matter w/o having to spend years studying chemistry, etc. They just need to practice their powers.
nah, that's like sayin that we all need a medical degree to run our bodies.. some/most of it comes with time and practice also innate knowledge/instinctual.
