Despero Vs Apocalypse

Started by DarkSaint855 pages

Yeah I mean, we could spam Batman's high end psi resistance feats Hal's, Aquaman, J'onn etc....and he took them all over and was controlling them simultaneously.

And yes, Cable hid Susan from Apocalypse. As a kid he was also able to block Apocalypse.

Lobo? He's meant to have the rock station playing 24/7, which is what gives him immunity. Hence what I mean by apples and oranges.

Despero can penetrate most defenses because of his third eye. The stronger the will, the easier it is to break down their will, iirc.

I'd say Post Crisis Despero's telepathic feats are better than Pre.

- absorbing psychic energy to power his own.
- feeding off emotions.
- creating life like illusions to fool the entire Justice league.
- mind controlling people across the universe.
- mind controlling Cyborg while on Rann.

True, but tech to prevent mind domination is still tech to prevent mind domination. Doesn't really much matter what it's called. This still becomes a subject that no one knows for certain. H2H seems to be the next logical step.

Who has Apoc prevented from getting into his head?

Jean Grey.

Then you have Sinister and Cable not even bothering to assault him telepathically... Essex fleeing from his master, Cable going hand-to-hand with him and using his psimitar.

Jean’s a woman, obviously she doesn’t count.

I've never seen Despero's penis on panel.

I bet Mr Pickles would beat the both of them.

I can’t believe I found another person who has seen Mr. Pickles. I legitimately love that show.

But Apoc doesn't have this. He's been affected by TP (see my reply to you on the previous page).

With Jean Grey.

Although, he couldn't access the astral plane himself, and needed Cable to help him as he didn't have the power to do so.

Explain the Jean Grey encounter to me please.

When Apoc fought Jean wasn't she without the PF?

Here's the scan:

Here is a separate incident, where Apocalypse doesn't have the power to get onto the astral plane without Cable's help:

Before people lose the point I am trying to make, the point is that Apocalypse can be affected by TP.

Do you have any recollection of Apoc being mind raped? That scan doesn't seem to be enough evidence. Apoc isn't actively resisting.

Hey now. You're moving the goal posts:

I was saying that Apoc has been affected by TP. Because your original post was:

If not for the Celestial technology there'd be no reason to disagree. However, it is known that he possesses it, and as such I don't think that we'd come to a true conclusion if we simply ignored it. TP doesn't work on Lobo because he too has tech that denies mind domination.

So..my point is that Apoc HAS been affected by psi attacks, doesn't have the power to access the astral plane, and this is all despite his Celestial tech.

Sorry I was rushed earlier. I only had time to glance at the 1st scan. The art is so bad that I barely made out that mess being Apoc in pain. You're absolutely correct. Despero should absolutely be able to peel his head open like a soft melon. Unless he's able to bounce it back like he did in that scan.

To be fair, that was Apoc from the past --- from the Victorian era of UK, to be precise.

If a psionic attack had been a viable option, then he wouldn't have trashed people like Exodus.

His TP defense is certainly implied to be high [Sinister, Exodus, Jean, Cable -- facing X-Men in general], but it depends how far we're willing to go with it without actual, direct feats.

I mean, we can give Prime crazy TP defenses, considering who he faced, too [not quite the same, but you get the point]

Yeah fine, we can have IMPLIED feats if we want. But that's a slippery slope, as Phildo points out.

Explicitly not having the power to access the Astral Plane is more telling, I feel. Especially since both my scans are actually from Apocs respect thread.

You should beg Phil for forgiveness and commit seppuku, as you used the awful one from reddit.

Emma couldn't even handle a mere horseman, btw.
