Respect Xemnu, the Living Titan!

RESPECT XEMNU, THE LIVING TITAN!!!

This thread is devoted to Xemnu the Living Titan, AKA Xemnu the Hulk, golden-age monster and one of the most powerful telepaths in the marvel universe. I'm not really big on writing bios, so I'll keep it brief: Xemnu is an immensely powerful alien who is the last of his kind, and whose principle pleasures are conquest, revenge, and trying to surmount the loneliness that comes from being the last of his kind. Read the wiki for more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xemnu

This respect thread will be divided into the following sections:
1. Telepathic Powers
2. Miscellaneous Powers
3. Telekinetic Powers
4. Durability
5. Strength
6. Scientific Abilities

I. Telepathic Powers
Xemnu is one of the most powerful telepaths in the Marvel universe.
Mind-controls the entire population of the planet earth (note that his mind-control requires no upkeep):

Hypnotizes millions of children through television:

Xemnu also has “Mento-Blasts” which appear to be a mixture of telepathic and telekinetic force. Here he uses his Mento-Blasts to take down Namor and even Dr. Strange!

While Hulk is the only being who has ever resisted Xemnu’s telepathy, even he has been overcome in one instance:

While in a different form (will be explained), Xemnu takes control of any entire town and directs them to attack Dr. Strange and Valkyrie:

He even places mental blocks on Dr. Strange, so that he can’t use his magic!

Mind-controls Wonderman to attack Thing:

Effortlessly takes down She-hulk and a host of others (note that She-hulk has successfully resisted a mental attack from moondragon before):
http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/1069/xemnutp.jpg

This is where Xemnu’s casual mind-blast sent her for the next few hours (from her perspective, admittedly, not so bad):
http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/615/sensationalshehulkv2007.jpg
http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/615/sensationalshehulkv2007.jpg

Even while being physically assaulted by Walters he can still keep it together enough to mindblast her again:
http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/615/sensationalshehulkv2007.jpg

Gives Rulk what he so badly deserves:
http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/9544/hulk30010.jpg

Mind-controls numerous baddies from the stars, including a few who are telepaths themselves:
http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/2356/hulk3001213.jpg

Finally, he engages in telepathic battle with Moondragon, who tries to expel him from her mind, fails, and gets punched for her trouble:

II. Miscellaneous Powers

Xemnu has a host of unusual abilities that don't fall neatly into some of the other categories, and these will be treated here.

First Xemnu's ability to absorb energy. When he first landed on the planet earth, the man who discovered him had no idea what he found, but seeing that Xemnu had some cybernetic components, hooked him to a machine and zapped him with electricity, which rapidly brought him to his full strength:
http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/3919/xemnu1.jpg
http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/3218/xemnu2.jpg

Here he absorbs energy from a reflector:
http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/9411/xemnu3.jpg

Another neat power of Xemnu's arose accidentally, when Xemnu tried to use his hypnotic powers to disintegrate someone, and a mirror reflected his powers back against him (gotta love those old comics), completely disintegrating him:

http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/6531/journeyintomystery066pg.jpg
http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/6531/journeyintomystery066pg.jpg

Despite this temporary setback, Xemnu's psychic force was strong enough that this was actually turned to his advantage: from then on he could assume a gaseous form whenever he was in danger, capable of traveling at faster than light speeds (he visits a distant star system and returns in little time), passing through solid barriers (an astronaut's air-tight suit), and taking psychic possession of others' bodies. Once he's possessed a body, he can transform it into a shorter version of his original body, but may also resume the host body's original form when it pleases him:

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/805/xemnugas.jpg/
http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/663/xemnupossession2.jpg

In addition to being able to absorb energy, assume a faster-than-light gaseous form, take possession of others' bodies and shapeshift, Xemnu can also project a psychic aura capable of repelling magic:

III. Telekinetic Powers

The Living Titan also commands formidable telekinetic powers, which not only allow him to move objects and create force-fields, but make both living and non-living matter plastic to his mental commands.

Here, in a weakened state, he is shown using telekinesis to take control of an asteroid:
http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/6531/journeyintomystery066pg.jpg

Animates stage-props to attack Thing:
http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/2255/marveltwoinone07816.jpg

Wraps Thing up in Wonderman's giant dumb-bell:
http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/451/marveltwoinone07819.jpg

Makes the rocks and trees in a forest attack hulk:
http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/3007/defenders01202.jpg
http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/6018/defenders01203.jpg

Attacks Hulk with street-objects, and takes off on a slab of concrete:
http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/7273/defenders01218.jpg

Attacks the Defenders with pipes and a steamroller:
http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/1216/defenders01210.jpg

From long-distance, wraps up Hulk in turf and carries him to his base:
http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/4708/xemnutk.jpg

Shields himself in a telekinetic "atmos-sphere" (hulk eventually shatters it, but it holds up fairly well):
http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/6317/incrediblehulkvolume2an.jpg
http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/6317/incrediblehulkvolume2an.jpg

IV. Durability

Xemnu only has a few durability feats, but they are far from negligible.

Here he is taking a ferocious beating from savage hulk, and despite the rain of blows is still able to launch psychic attacks in retaliation!
http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/9180/xemnudurability.jpg

Takes a blast from wasp straight to the eye, but aside from some pain is totally unaffected (this is actually Space Phantom using Xemnu's body, but as it is the real Xemnu's body that is being used, not a doppelganger, it can be used in debate):
http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/9180/xemnudurability.jpg

Withstands being encased in lava (again, this is Space Phantom using Xemnu's body):
http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/7817/beyond04page14.jpg

V. Strength

Xemnu's physical strength (which is sometimes amplified by his telekinetic powers) is prodigious.

Smashes a statue:
http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/6531/journeyintomystery066pg.jpg

Hits the ground with enough force to create shock-waves and send his opponents flying:
http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/1636/beyond04page12.jpg

After he'd been encased in hardened lava (see durability), he burst out of it (light around his head suggests he's augmenting his strength with TK here):
http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/6612/beyond04page15.jpg

Lifts a giant chunk of rock to smash his enemies (again, TK appears to be involved):
http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/223/beyond04page16.jpg

VI. Scientific Abilities

Last, but not least, Xemnu is an extremely accomplished scientist.

He easily recreates a number of extremely powerful beings (Goom, for instance, can levitate an entire city): Diablo, Taboo, Groot, Goom, and Blip.

http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/6317/incrediblehulkvolume2an.jpg
http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/6317/incrediblehulkvolume2an.jpg

Uses Hulk's DNA to create an anti-hulk named Kluh:
http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/4002/hulk30018.jpg
http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/169/hulk30019.jpg
http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/6404/hulk30020.jpg

Creates a device that, when placed, in a camera, places subliminal messages in the material that can place viewers under instant hypnosis:
http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/6545/marveltwoinone07813.jpg
http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/4827/marveltwoinone07814.jpg

Within at most a few hours, Xemnu transforms a space-garage so much that She-Hulk doesn't even recognize it, turning it into a laboratory where he can perform psychic/genetic operations:
http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/615/sensationalshehulkv2007.jpg
http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/6656/xemnulab.jpg

Begins transforming She-Hulk into "The Bride of Xemnu" (he is very lonely) -- a process which, as you might have guessed, never reaches its final stage:
http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/615/sensationalshehulkv2007.jpg
http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/615/sensationalshehulkv2007.jpg

Haha awesome. I <3 this guy! He deserves respect for pimp slapping that over rated skank Moondragon! Go Xemnu!

And nice job Simbon 😄
