Which would allow a long enough pause for Vader to kill him. That is why I said if he doesn’t take them out immediately he is gone. Also I have never seen a force choke last more than a few secs.
Thing is, Quicksilver himself has to have durability well beyond any human to be able to move at the speeds he does and not be injured. An example is when he held Magneto's neck to prevent whiplash, when he took him through that corridor. Speeds he handles just fine. Or even the simple cheek poking feat. If he had normal human durability, his finger would have snapped when he poked that guard. Or his leg muscles would have torn themselves to shreds while running at those speeds. Just to name a few examples.

I am already having this discussion in another thread, but here you are making a pivotal mistake of stating your opinion as fact and asking me to prove mines. First thing not all of the forces users are humans. So not all are being mind rape. Unless you are using the no limits fallacy for Xavier.So without repeating my argument in another thread. Lets say Xavier is able to win the battle with the human force users. Yoda and fisto are going to sense this. This would leave Yoda and Fisto who would sense this and attack Xavier and render him unconscious releasing the other Jedi.
Well, that is why I specifically only mention human force users in my posts. I have no friggin' clue if his powers would work on an alien mind, and am not just going to assume they do. Problem for Fisto and Yoda is 6 other mutants to deal with, including 2 other telepaths. One who has a super strong diamond form and another who also has a decent level of tk. So even if they sense what is happening to the human force users, there is no guarantee that they could do anything about it, probably having their hands full with all the other mutants.

As I recall, Frost and Grey are the only enemy telepaths Xavier ever encounters. The rest, for all we know, were Muggles or had no telepathic prowess to speak of. The Jedi, while not as capable as Xavier, are indeed telepathic. Why should we assume that his powers would work in a combat scenario effectively against rival telepaths?
Because no one other than Jean (who was in fact a stronger telepath) has shown to be able to resist him through sheer mental power. Emma had to resort to her diamond form to do so. Even if he can't outright mind rape them, I still believe he can run enough mental interference with the human force users to throw them off their game. And remember, he isn't the only telepath on the mutant team. Jean and Emma are both there too.

To be fair, as I pointed out to dadudemon, Cerebro!Xavier failed to actually kill any of his victims, even ones like Mystique who were just outside the door. That's plenty of time for Jedi and Sith to snap necks. (Not that it matters because of Quicksilver.)
They might not have died, but they were all in agony and most were barely functional. Hardly in neck snapping condition. And again, that's ignoring the 2 other telepaths and 4 other mutants on the X-men roster.

I agree that we should be able to use deduction and inference without resigning ourselves totally to screen feats. (Otherwise one could say "Sidious never used Force lightning on Magneto in the films so prove he could!!1!oneone!!!"😉
Difference here is he has actually shown the ability to use force lightning on other individuals onscreen. Against Luke, Vader, Mace and Yoda. So there is enough evidence to support the claim that he can use his lightning on any of the mutants. He has not, however, shown any kind of feat that suggests he can force choke 7 individuals at once.

Quicksilver still solos, though.
This we both agree on.
Fact is, in any match, whether one on one or group, when one player on the field has that much of a speed advantage over literally everyone else taking part, 99% of the time it's going to be a stomp for him/her or his/her team.
EDIT: I actually just had the most ridiculous mental image of Quicksilver doing to Vader what he did to that one security guard... and stealing his helmet. And then running around with a black helmet on his head. I doubt he'd even consider it, but damn it would be funny if it happened. 😆
