It's not but then what would a telepath with few appearances have to do to be considered better than Jonn? Folks like Despero and Starro have nothing but comparative showings
To put it another way since you yourself used the Count Nefaria comparison when has he done anything Thor couldn't other than the performance against Thor? When have a bunch of bricks say even Doomsday?
Wonder Woman lifts mountains DD never has? Does this make Doomsday thrashing Diana bunk?
I might add that in addition to blocking Jonns thoughts, an controlling DD's body which Jonn couldn't, Braniac also resisted WW's lasso which Jonn couldn't. Which, combined with non fight related stuff like mind control from another planet while unconscious is surely enough to justify an explicitly more powerful Braniac being more powerful than Jonn, in his latest body
I don't see how? Braniac controlled Doomsday, and later while fighting the Justice League while controlling Doomsday he blocked J'onn's telepathyThat's starting to feel like you're trying to get by on breaking up a sequence to individual components.
These are two separate things. Unless you mean by same "sequence", same story. In which case yeah sure, after all the guy appears in like 3 "stories/sequences" total to that point
