I'll admit I rushed it a bit, plus I'm a bit of practice, don't expect it to stay.
Xavier has time to mentally effect them, given the distance between the two teams. He has been shown to be a great telepath who won't have any issues freezing two characters who are unprotected from his power.
I think this is picking at threads a bit much. He has effected voth mutants and humans (the only two intellegent species that he has encountered. Jean had trouble with Nightcrawler when she was closer, but Xavier is much more powerful; and he is in the Jumper which is enroute to your characters, and you have them coming towards Xavier as well.
He can when he is mentally frozen by Xavier, and then when his suit is a transformer trying to claw at him.
Your team lacks the mental control of my team, between Xavier and Jasmine, your team is wide open to being torn apart.
Plus speed wise I have Zoom and Hiro. You also compelty overlook my stealth ship, which will turn all your gear onto my side.
