Black Panther showing

Recently in the Original Sin story, Emma Frost tried to probe his mind and he casually kicked her out. Thoughts on his psi resistance.

Emma is less of a sledgehammer, and more a scalpel.

Which is to say, in psychic terms, she's very skilled, but not THAT powerful.

Not to mention, her powers were screwy after AvX.

I could well see BP having some form of TP defences (magical, or tech or just him being that prepped).

Interesting.
I wouldnt have pegged him as able to do that!

Emma is mid level in terms of power, but she is incredibly skilled and prepared to the point she had had some successes against the heavyweights. She is being blocked by someone with NO stated TP powers and there is nothing in the panel to suggest tech or magic.

Agreed on the points, I wonder if its something to do with the KotD upgrade (which, tbh, I still haven't really seen any evidence of lol).

Especially not in the casual, confident manner in which he did it. I am 100% BP fanboy, but when you add up all the parts, BP is VASTLY underrated overall. The thing is (and yeah, I'm officially off on a tangent) people still want to place him in the peak human class- he is clearly through feats, depictions and description closer not to meta, but enhanced meta, between Cap and Spiderman. Back to the psi resistance, this is just one more thing in his arsenal.

I don't thing the upgrade itself was that obvious. He gained the knowledge of the previous BPs, but he was already incredibly knowledgeable to begin with. And he gained their "strength", which I never took to mean their combined strenght. This upgrade was just that, an upgrade, not a full tier change on it's own. I compare it to Silver Surfers upgrade by Galactus that everyone was temporarily going insane about.

Didn't Cable once have trouble sensing BP?

Emma SHOULD be much stronger than 'mid-level in power', and was written that way prior to AvX

Yup.

America Force and Diversity Force are the two greatest forces in Marvel comics!

Sure, that's why there are so few white characters in comics.

Diversity Force!

Both Cap or BP should have been utterly annihilated by opponents many tiers above them in power, yet.....

Okay. But their rabbits feet pale in comparison to the one Batman has up his ass.

Lotta force, here.

I can buy BP being between Cap And Spidey.
Easily explained by prolonged exposure to the mystic herbs that empower him. No one's ever said it simply leaves you at one level. Maybe the longer a Panther riles, the more he powers up.

Thought he needed regular doses.
Ah well, chalk it all up to rule of cool then. 🙂

All his old feats put him there long ago. From day one.

It seems like Marvel is having a trend that "dark" characters are immune to telepaths, which I don't necessarily understand but oh well
