his power came from skill and being subversive not actual power and out right ability..
There's a reason why WW went to rescue Superman from Lord and not Martian Manhunter.
Seriously, Martian Manhunter is such a high level telepath, that no amount of training should let Lord mentally overpower him.. But he did, casually. And when it only just manifested. He didn't have time to train yet.
And Guy Gardners ring was able to shield him from Grodd, who has far more experience using telepathy than Lord would. Yet Guy can't likewise shield his mind from Lord?
The way Lords power cut through any sort of defenses, it's more like magic than telepathy.
