Wait wait wait. When has Storm proving to be telepathy-resistant to anyone of high enough calibur? When has she shrugged off Professor X's telepathy? Cuz that's plain and utter bull.I say Psylocke wins this. Classic or Current.
I could somewhat see her beating classic Betsy but, not current.
candra's a combinatoin of both classic and current psylock...except more powerful...and storm defeated her easily...and candra wanted to kill storm. i'd say storm wins this. storm has proved time and time again that she has resistance to telepathy, and has even fried the person who was attacking them by frying their synapses when their not even close to her. also... jean grey's tk had a very, very hard time handling storms winds and she couldn't take it for much longer and storm wasn't even attacking her.

I remember that, the arc with Legion right before AOA. If I recall correctly (I have the comic at home, but haven't read it in awhile), wasn't Jean also trying to take care of other things as well? I mean, she wasn't just fresh into battle and not able to handle Storm's winds. Especially when her TK shields have held up to much stronger forces (no offense to Storm at all).
And Storm beign able to shrug off telepathy? Believable. But from a high-enough calibured telepath? Not so much. Psylocke is one of the top-tier telepaths there is. Of course there's no actual evidence that shows the two fighting, but if they were to fight and Psylocke really wanted her down, she could do it.
And then there's the TK. That'd be just as easy. She could fold Storm into something the size of a postage stamp or just snap her neck. And pretty much instantly, it being a mental power and all.
And Storm would not be able to create any sort shield (not that it would help her anyway, just pointing this out) faster than the speed of thought.

well tk attacks don't matter anymore anyway since it's classic psylock. storm has enough resistance to tp long enough for her to summon one lightning bolt. psylock wouldn't be able to dodge the lightning or anything because it moves faster than the speed of thought (true fact...lightning does move faster than the speed of thought). now psylock wouldn't really have time to create illusions...and they wouldn't even work anyway because storm would still sense psylock through the illusion. if she did try to create illusions then her chances of mind-wiping storm would be increased. so 1)illusions won't work and 2) tp won't work fast enough or may not work at all.

While I do know and agree that lightning moves faster than the speed of thought, it's the thinking process to activate it that I'm debating. See, Psylocke's action is just one move. She thinks it, it's done. Storm's move is two moves, even as fast as they are. She thinks it, then lightning comes at it's super speed (and even still, I have NEVER seem Storm summon a direct, aimed blast of lighting without an appropriate hand gesture, so if you could prove me wrong with a scan that'd be cool).
Another point. I'll even go along to say that it'll take Psylocke just...I dunno...a moment longer than normal to take Storm out telepathically. While she's in her mind, she'll see the lightning bolt being summoned (reading her thoughts and all, doesn't seem to much of an effort since she'd be in her mind and such). And while the lightning would be extremely fast, knowing that it's coming RIGHT before it's summoned, she just MAY be able to dodge the bolt. After that initial bolt, Psylocke breaks through and shuts Storm's mind down.
One more thing. Anytime in comics you see someone able to combat telepathy, it's always after a mental struggle, no matter how short. They're never just unaffected. It hits them first, then with their strong wills and such, they are able to fight it off. They never just shrug it off instantly. So, Psylocke's first move would hit Storm hard, plenty hard enough to knock her out in the first move (since she probably won't just try to mind-control Storm, but knock her out/kill her).
Again, this is assuming it'll take Psylocke longer with Storm. But I believe, being as powerful as she is, that if she really wants Storm incapacitated, she'll have it done.
