I agree with Eleven, even though i can't say i know a lot about MM both characters seem to be at least comparable in terms of psychic powers, however, MM might have the edge in terms of experience and abilities.
About that "nobody over the age of 12 loves the JLA", its funny how every comic book store or convention i ever went to always say that DC aims at an older audience, while Marvel, even though their trying to fix their Fisher Price image with the new Marvel Knights and MAX series, which are excellent btw, aim at a younger audience. I know very few comic book fans over the age of 21 who are huge Marvel fans, they either like both or prefer DC.
I myself am 26 and am not a fan boy of either company, im a fan of certain characters. Im glad though that Marvel started those two "more mature" series i mentioned above, through them i can revisit old favorites of mine that i just left behind gradually as i grew older.
Just because we know Manhunter is better doesn't make us fanboys. Would we be DC fanboys if we said Superman could beat Spiderman?
And polls don't mean anything. A million people who don't know anything could vote the wrong way, while only one person has enough knowledge to vote correctly.
In terms of raw power, xavier has so much. MM has always been afraid to go beyond mind probes. Sure, he's powerful but were' talking about XAVIER here. The guy who pretty much demolished the marvel universe as onlaught. Think about it, this guy gets imprisoned the shadow king, contacted Lilandra millions of light years away, held a lot of people in a catatonic state within a five block radius (x-men versus avengers), and can scan multiple minds globally.
Alright. I'll admit that MM has beter range than Xavier currently, but that's because Magneto took steps to hinder Charles' ability to use his telepathy globally by screwing with the earths magnetic field. In close quarter psychic combat, one on one, Charles is unstoppable. Shadow King draws on the negative psychic energy of the entire PLANET and Charles beat him. I don't care if he had to struggle, he BEAT him. Xavier has mentally frozen and simultaneously manipulated the memories of a village of three hundred. Recently, Charles took on and even overpowered the Exemplar Bedlam, who is the avatar of the God of Mind and Madness and whose telepathy could penetrate Juggernaut's helmet. In a close confrontation Xavier can win.
This will probably hurt Xaviers case more then help it...but even though Mags screwed with the Earths magnetic field Xavier still manages to break through Exodus's static around Avalon for a few seconds, he does this while the entire astral plane is being screwed up due to the fight between Exodus and Holocaust...he also does this from his office without the aid of Cerebro or any other device(Cerebro is offline)...Avalon is situated in space..
Point being he has range...just not sure if it's MM range...
BTW Isn't Cassandra Nova the Prime example of what Xavier's telepathy would be like if he doesn't hold back? She manifested her telepathy on the physical plane...beat up Gladiator and caused him to wet his pants...
My other point being I don't think Xavier would go down without a putting up a good fight...regardless of MM's heritage...

What is so odd about Manhuner, is that he can alter his brain. his actual brain, for added affects and thingys. He turned his mind into the choas of the joker, just to beat the jokers maze. If i am remembering correctly. Xavier gets all freaky with wierd minds and such. I"m sure A gleaming of this would let MM know how to beat PX. but, Prox could also make MM Think he was on fire and it would all be over. It deponds on who's will is stronger.
Cassie can basically access the full spectrum of abilities the person's genome grants them. Xavier has all the abilities that Cassandra Nova showed in his genetic potential, but they are latent.
