Top 10 Telepaths -- Marvel Top 10

[Indigo_Lady]

I love that mutants are a part of these videos now, but they should get people who know the characters to produce them lol.

Most of the video talked about TK, rather than TO.

Also, the creators think Teen Jean is Rachel which is doubly funny.

That's one of the biggest problems with Marvel continuity. Their own people don't know the characters or bother to do the research.

Uh chamber......M Twins....karma

[Tarantino]

Nate Grey should be on the list. A top 5.

The lack of Moondragon is a stupid oversight, imo.

I'm disappointed/not surprised that there's only one non-mutant here, as Moondragon does have the chops to be a Top 10 TP. That said, there are discussions in other boards that explain why mutant telepaths are more powerful as a whole than their non-mutant counterparts, the following being an example.

telepathy I'm going with Emma, Moondragon is just not that impressive (when it comes to top tier, and lets face it the mutant telepaths are top tier most telepathic feats in Marvel are done by them, every being on Earth with telepathic abilities including Eternals, Moondragon learned from weaker Eternals, fell below Xavier and next in line was another mutant, Jean and even she surpassed him) and even with upgrades she seems to be Xavier level or little more at best. Moondragon is an Earth human, they all have telepathic potential, but Marvel handbooks said that the only advantage a human telepath has over a mutant one is that they supposedly can stay in astral form longer than a mutant, while mutants get the advantage in everything else.

Moondragon took control of an entire planet.

Looks like it was just that planets leaders

Looks like it was just that planets leaders

Yeah, that point was debated in another Comicvine brawl thread between Moondragon and Professor X ("Battle of the Baldies!") about whether Heather controlled the entire Ba-Bani population or just its leaders. That said, it was cool to see her among Apocalypse's captured psychics in the "Beyond Good and Evil" storyline of X-Men TAS, since it meant Apocalypse considered her worth capturing.

The whole thing is stupid, it contradict the comics itself lmao. Jean should be first (Charles told that she was more powerful than him) Nate should be in it and higher than Cable being similar than him but without th the TO.

The fact that there is Purple Man is stupid since he isn't a telepath if that so we could consider Daken and Jessica Drew as such even if their pheromones aren't as powerful as him.

And Moondragon should be in there.

If there's one thing the mutants do best, it's telepathy.
I was expecting Moondragon to be right below Jean.
From these lists, I have to wonder if Marvel's employees/the employees of companies Marvel subcontracts to know their employer's own characters. Points for kinda remembering that Franklin used to be Psi-Lord, though, and focused on telepathy and telekinesis rather than more advanced reality warping.

I miss that version of Franks

[Grey]

Why'd they initially show Dazzler for Emma? And Jeen for Rachel? Does anyone proofread or.......just plain review what they are about to upload?

10. Franklin Richards
9. Cable
8. Psylocke
7. Rachel
6. Legion
5. Shadow King
4. Purple Man (????)
3. Emma Frost
2. Jean Grey
1. X

Jean and X need to be switched. Purple Man shouldn't even be on this list. And Franklin's spot could've been used for more powerful TPs like Quentin or the Cuckoos or Proteus.

The marvel encyclopedia has a huge picture of Hope Summers under jean grey’s entry.

It makes you realize that all the continuity checking readers do isn’t really how marvel handles things. I mean sure overall they are consistent but I don’t think they care about some errors the way that readers get bent out of shape about. For better or worse.

Also makes you realize that readers probably scrutinize and discuss details way more than marvel employees. Again for better or worse.

I think a lot of them don’t consider comics to be “srs bzness” to the degree that many fans
Do.

Moondragon took control of an entire planet.

That's actually a lie that some people keep telling. While powerful she never took control over a planet...mentally. She used her powers to mentally take control of certain people that controlled the world to end a war. Impressive but not mental control over the planet.

Power wise, she should be in the top 5 with Exodus and X-Man.

Nate Grey pre Shaman was more powerful Xavier

It wasn't an intentional lie, from me at any rate. I haven't read that issue of The Avengers since it first came out (it belonged to a friend of mine), but I do own the 80's Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition, and that error is in her entry.

From her entry under History:


From her entry under Known superhuman powers:


Probably lots of people got the wrong impression from that.
