I'm not sure if there is a point in putting Mahnattan in vs threads. As far as we know, he cant be hurt or stopped. I have yet to see Lucy, so I cant properly comment. Unless she gets into reality bending territory like him, she loses.
He's hardly the most powerful character in cinema.

kinda agree. He seems uber because he was the only one in that universe that had any real powers. He had no competition so he seemed godlike.
Granted he was real powerful though.

No, he has a point.
You're committing the limits fallacy. You're imposing an arbitrary limit to a character in which such a limit was not seen.
Manhattan could very well be susceptible to telepathy or mind rape. But he's such a powerful being, with his mind alone, that it would be a stretch and arbitrary to say he could be mind raped by any telepathic being who is not at the same omnipotence level or higher than Manhattan.
I doubt Manhattan can be mind-raped. Unlike the average person, who only has a limited number of things on their mind at a given time, Manhattan's mind is constantly perceiving every moment of his potentially infinite life at once. A telepath would probably get overwhelmed. Xavier had trouble holding onto Mystique and can be blocked by a material helmet. Pretty sure Manhattan would have some way to counter him, if he even registered at all.

When did he have trouble controlling Mystique though?
