Superman(Man of Steel) runs the Marvel gauntlet

What suggests that supes is immune to telepathic attacks? Last I checked there was no mention of him having super mind powers.

What movie were you watching?? They delivered lots of super speeded attacks. And Superman dodged bullets flying at him.

I think I do need to (and want to) watch it again.

But IIRC he wasn't invisible or untouchable with his speed.

Faroa'a henchman didn't display super speed IIRC, and he was going toe to toe with Supes. Yes Supes ultimately was battering him, but he wasn't untouchable to him, and he got his licks on Supes too.

I can see Thor and Hulk being a similar threat level team to Faora and her Hulk type henchman.

So yeah with full rest MOS Supes clears most of this gauntlet, but stops at 8(and not sure about Prof X).

But with no rest he starts having trouble at 5.

Superman fought a Hulk like person in the movie, the big guy and he was working Superman. I think Superman fight will probably go like that against the Hulk I guess but in the end, I think he could win.

Did he display super speed? He might not have had access to it yet. If so then there's no guarantee he had the super reflexes working yet either.

IIRC Hulk showed displayed similar/superior speed to that Krytonian Hulkster.

But yeah one on one a rested MOS Supes works Hulk.

It was 2 on 1 when he got 1 on 1 with the big guy he whooped him....not to mention that he was kryptonian with same reflexes and speed as Clark....Hulk doesnt have any of that..

Show me those reflexes.

He isn't immune, in the movie it showed he was susceptible to it.

Exactly. Which is why I find it laughable how some people can claim that Superman is by default immune to telepathic attacks.

In Kal's defense he was unconscious when they started the mind fvckery.

Having said that telepathic attacks would work on him. Nothing suggests the contrary.

Action speaks louder than words.

However, he is fast enough to take Xavier's head off his shoulders before he can process the thought.

I never claimed as such.

Superman needs to "think" before he can act. He needs to think of "taking Prof. X's head off" before he actually moves. Therefore, Superman is still just as fast as his thoughts, which is plenty fast enough because thoughts are near instantaneous and Superman has the speed to clobber you in that time.

So Prof should be able to telepathically attack him before he gets to hit Prof. The only difference is, there's a chance Kal-el can recover from a telepathic attack or resist it even just a split second, just enough to hit Prof. But X isn't going to be able to recover or resist a punch from Superman.

Meh, I guess it would depend on how far apart they start from each other.

I think one of the main themes in the MOS movie was that despite the fact that Clark was nearly invulnerable and god-like physically, he was still vulnerable psychologically like normal humans.

Thats assuming they are stood right in front of each other when the fight begins. Charles's telepathy has a fairly large range even without Cerebro.

Xavier had trouble pin pointing Nightcrawler with Cerbero amping him. I think he'd have trouble with Kal's speed for sure

Bloodlusted Superman gives Professor X a lobotomy via telescopic, x-ray, heat vision combo.

Only because he didn't want to kill Nightcrawler. He made that clear to Wolverine.

I have yet to see the movie but I did want to say one thing. Unless the scene was deleted there is a part in one of the trailers where Sups moves out of the way of what looks to be heavy artillery gun fire. I would say his reaction time shouldn't be in question lol.....but as I said I have not actually seen the movie. Once I do (hopefully I can go tomorrow. Its going to be the $4 Tues special) I will actually weigh in on some of this lol

EDIT: -

Superman had incredible stamina in the movie.

I didn't say Supes doesn't have fast reaction time.
