    Well it figures that Jean would be the one to give Jamie an idea to literally birth a space station.

    As to current reality it's Jean and Kid Omega and because I don't think two mutants can be Omega in one domain.I take it telepathy as a field has sub-categories where each has no upper limit(that is my deduction)
    I did literally just say Jean was dead and Xavier was depowered when Emma was declared as such.

    Emma Frost is not below Exodus. She easily stalemated him in psychic combat and her feats far exceed his. Stryfe is a disappointment of a psychic that I do not even entertain the idea that he could be anywhere near the top psychic’s.

    It's fine and dandy to say "so and so is strongest telepath because they're Omega" and whatnot, but I answer this in my headcanon with actions. At one point Emma Frost (with Cerebro's assistance) mindwiped the entire planet, erasing their knowledge of mutants. That's baller in my book.

    At one point AOA Jean Grey burned the Death Seed completely out of Betsy. But nobody seems able or willing to do the same thing for Warren...

    As I see it, the high tier X-Men telepathic list of psychics goes as follows,

    1) Jean Grey

    2) Onslaught

    3) Charles Xavier

    4) Cassandra Nova

    5) Shadow King

    6) Emma Frost

    7) Rachel Summers

    8) Mister Sinister

    9) Exodus

    10) Five-In-One Stepford Cuckoos

    11) Captain Britain (Betsy)

    Nate Grey is not on the list because he is either below everyone in his Pre-Shaman form or he is above everyone in his Shaman and Lifeseed forms. Nate Grey is a very strange case. Legion is the same way with his base and United forms. Phoenix is a class of its own.

    Nice List! And great note at the bottom! All true as you stated.

    To me, I would just rearrange 2 on the list: move #10 (The 5) to #6, and move #6 (Emma) to #8, keeping Rachel at 7.

    Interesting that you placed Onslaught second. I am interested in hearing your thoughts regarding your choices, especially because you are so informed and always come well-prepared to defend your opinions.

    I go back and forth between Xavier and Onslaught. I’m honestly not certain.

    It would be interesting if each telepath was truly gifted at one aspect of telepathy. Like someone is great at reading thoughts and another at creating false impressions. I guess Mastermind comes to mind here. That way it would give each a unique telepathic power subset or area in which they excel. This may already occur to some extent but I don't read all the X-titles.

    I like this idea actually. It would cut down on nearly every telepath basically being a copy of the next and being able to fill in at a moments notice. Like how Kid Omega can do his construct thingamajig. His specialty could be illusions of the highest tier?

    Probably Jean but isnt it always Jean? But I am pretty sure Betsy was pushed as more powerful at one point and even Rachel but to stick to the legend it will alwys be Jean by default she was told she surpassed Xavier at one point as well. Jean is 05 so this no doubt will never change.
