Lord has an odd power. At the very, very start of discovery after Invasion, he was able to casually "nudge" Martian Manhunter without his noticing, or being able to defend against it. But Max never actually "entered" a mind to do it. He couldn't read minds or anything. However he did it, it wasn't treated the same as telepathy.. J'onn could at least detect/resist it, if it were, but he had no defenses at all.

Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
He did what I said without any prep at all, as a noob.
Think about how powerful J'onnzz is. Max "nudged" him with minimal effort.
Essentially, Max is Purple Man lite. It doesn't matter how powerful a TP you are against Purple Man, his power WILL work on you.

Like I said, Martian Manhunter was his test dummy. Max influenced his decisions, and J'onn had no idea it was Max's doing, until he told him.
That makes it pretty clear Max's power isn't exactly telepathy, but more akin to Purple Man or Jesse Custer. The only thing that blood amp did was increase his range and scope, since every time he uses his power he had a nose bleed.

Keith Giffen was totally basing this off Purple Man, just like he based characters like Dreamslayer on Mephisto, or Lobo on your average Marvel vigilante. He did that kind of stuff all the time.

Was all set to make good on that Omega Level evolution thing...then nothing. He just keeps getting hyped up to be a big deal "one day."
Least his character is sorta intact, albeit not completely. Try being a Laura fan during/after Bendis's revamp.
Taylor didn't help much in All New Wolverine, and I'm not holding my breath with the new X-23 ongoing. I haven't read anything from the new writer, but it seems like this is just the new Laura sadly. I'm a broken record with this stuff, but I feel your pain.

i've always found--in general--dc's psionic guys inferior to marvel though. most don't seem to have the skill feats to really go head-to-head with the best of marvel. there are a couple, obviously, but in general i mean. i think it's because there aren't many heroes in dc who USE psionic based attacks. aside from jonn none of the big guns use it at all. tp's are EVERYWHERE in marvel so the skill is much more closely scutinized and expanded on by writers. you have jonn and black (and maybe max i guess) who have some solid skill feats, but a lot of the others demonstrate brute force but little skill. has a whole i def think its an area dc lags in.
