Because you are assume he'll have an affect against a mind he has no experience with. Not just Supes' specifically. I mean a mind not like a human's.

I already stated I believe SW can affect him. Jedi and Sith should be able to as well IMO as they all have showings against alien beings

Sort of I guess. I mean there are no Kryptonians in the Watchmen verse yet an argument for Superman vs Doc is Doc never showed power over something so durable. Well how was he supposed to? If that stance is fair game there why is it not here? Why is X different?

You're aware that per feats Prof X's TP is more powerful than Scarlet Witch or the Jedi's, right?

Scarlet Witch just gives visions that feed off of fear I think. She doesn't control people. Different
Now you're just splitting hairs, controlling people and giving them visions both require the TP user to effect the target's mind and what about the Jedi, who can control people?

Becauese one needs to determine if something can affect something with possible resistance to an ability (matter manip vs durability) else it becomes a no limits fallacy.
What possible resistance to TP does Superman have due to his alien biology?

I'm not splitting hairs. I'm not sure I'd call her power TP at all since it doesn't seem like she can read minds or control them. She senses fear and can give visions.
I'm not sure what the explanation of the Jedi/Sith is but yeah it seems like lower level TP.

But Superman has never shown a resistance to matter manip. Why assume he can resist?

What is interesting is that he has basically admitted that Superman is vulnerable to at least two different and weaker types of TP, but maintains that Superman would be immune to Prof X's TP. because the X-men universe doesn't have aliens. as if they lack of aliens somehow changes the nature of people's abilities.

I never said he was immune.

Durability. In order to manipulate matter, your power has to bypass its natural ability to stay the way it is. It's not explicitly mentioned to be required, but it is a reasonable deduction based on now matter manip should work.

Which means that you're admitting that Superman is vulnerable to TP and other mind attacks, both of which are of a lower power level than Prof X's own mind powers. Yet you're insisting that the X-men universe not having aliens means that all aliens are immune to X-men type TP.
