I remember Synch, synching to Chamber, and using Chamber's power for flying, but I dont remember the Emma telekinesis thing.
Having powers you dont know how to activate isnt impossible.
Emma's diamond form appeared decades after the first appearance of the character, and in the same run Cassandra Nova, who had access to all of the possible latent powers expressed in Xavier's dna, could do many things Charles cant do like levitating herself or phasing.
IIRC, Jean having only telekinesis for years because Xavier was blocking her telepathy, is a retcon.
Characters gaining powers isnt that rare.
that was a secondary mutation, not a latent one. And she didnt know she was capable of that until it happened. If there is true evidence of Emma having TK, it makes no sense why in 2017, she has never actively utilized it, When possessing Iceman, she could use his powers to greater potential but cant with her own? I dont buy that
Gaining powers isnt rare, but thats not the issue here

He Synchs with Emma and then demonstrates telekinetic abilities while he's in a coma. Although it's only said that he takes on her "formidable psionic powers" doesn't say anything about Emma being a telekinetic. Claudette & Nicole were also shown to have very different powers in that issue. Claudette uses chalk to make a portal and send Emplate and Penance through to whatever dimension they went to. It was all very odd and out of place.
I really liked gen X, the new one should have been about the old generations instead of QQ
Jean being able to transfer her consciousness into Emma and use her TK through Emma was suppose to show how powerful Jean was. Remember, Xavier said that Jean was a telepath of intricate design and that was partly why the Phoenix was interested in her.
I don't like the idea that all telepaths are latent telekinetics. Telepathy and telekinesis are separate powers. I like how some psychics have specialized abilities (empathy, possession, fear inducing, precognition, psychometry etc) without having full range psionic abilities. Of course some do have the potential for all the abilities, but they shouldn't all be that way. Let them be distinct.
I liked Betsy better as a telepath with specialized abilities such as the psi knife and precognitive flashes. Now she is a full range telepath and telekinetic and everyone is making psychic constructs (Rachel, Jean, Quentin, etc). Why make their powers all the same?
