Logan is also receiving expert telepathic assault training from Kid Omega in secret.
Something tells me Logan will soon be one of the best Telepathic shielders.
Yeah, makes you wonder why, given the problems the Avengers have long had with telepaths, and with Iron Man, McCoy etc trying to build psi blockers, they don't just go to SHIELD and say I'll have what she has. I mean, with them being best buddies with Nick Fury, and Cap's long history with them, and having access to SHIELD files & tech, and Iron Man being director of SHIELD, and Steve being in charge of national security and having access to SHIELD, and so on.
Yeah, they should all have special TP blocking helmets. Even Thor should get a new helmet that blocks TP, he could even make it look the same with the little wings. I've always wondered why Iron Man doesn't hook everyone up more.
Gender: Male Location: Planning to take over the WORLD!
makes me wonder about that old scan where xavier is talking and says he could have put all the inhabitants of battleworld to sleep--and galactus was in the picture!
i'd have always given xavier the nod over thor, btw, so, meh. not a sweep, but a majority given thor's history and the level of power xavier has. sometimes i think charlie gets underestimated. not saying he should have been able to take out namor like he did, but namor isn't emma (which might be interesting....) but look in the respect thread--xavier has some crazy-a$$ feats.
I would never say that Xavier doesn't have the ability to telepathically assault Thor, but a bloodlusted Thor would likely be much harder to effect and halt in time before a Mjolnir throw or lightning bolt hit Chuck. On the other side of the coin, a bloodlusted Xavier would be a different animal altogether, too.
Not really an inconsistency because Charles and Emma werent performing the same action. Emma was trying to mind control Thor whilst Xavier was just slammin a mental suggestion into his mind.
Emma being a Phoenix host also doesnt make it an inconsistency because how uber a host is depends on how much power they draw on.
So of course Emma could stomp Eric with tk and hold him in place without tp. Just so happens that it was tp being alluded to. Indication being that Eric glanced at his helmet.
And then Galactus glances his way and almost kills the entire team...
Either way, Xavier put Thor, Namorforce, Wolverine (has psi shielding), War Machine (who I believe has psi shielding), Omega Ice Man, and Cap (believe has psi shielding) to sleep among others.
When Xavier doesn't hold back, there's really little he can't accomplish with his TP. But the fact that Spider Woman was the only one resistant enough to not be dropped just reeks of PIS.
And All of the Phoenix 5 have TK. Emma included. And she was speaking to Erik telepathically, and proceeded to paralyze him telepathically in that scan in question, which is why Erik looked to his helmet in regret after his mind was just violated.
