@lordofallhumans: There's no argument that Emma is the weakest of the three. Or that given the opportunity they may have done the things Emma did. But despite being premier telepaths they didn't.
Her telepathic trap on Xavier isn't a feat so much as the entirety of my point. Xavier is beyond her, so Emma had to rely on her traps to beat him. And even then he still threatens to just break out because he's stronger then her but he doesn't, it's just one of many tactics that she's used that he and Jean haven't. Plus it's not like Xavier wasn't aware that he might encounter Emma.
At no point do we see Xavier or Jean do anything like what Emma did to hide the Destiny diaries, nor did they implement the knowledge drops for field missions. Emma is just more creative in her showings then they have been.
And it doesn't say much about her shining because their gone if Jeans got at least to feats still being felt after she's gone.
Morality is the only reason they don't do most of what she does, my argument is not that she isn't creative, its that if they are more skilled then it's absurd to think she is more creative. Bringing up things Emma does while they are not present is my point. Emma would have never been able to do these feats with Charles or Jean around, she was redundant with them, which is why they gave her a diamond form.
I thought the reason Emma was given a diamond form was because Morrison wanted Colossus on his team. But since he'd just died he needed new muscle so Emma was given the new form. It had nothing to do with her being redundant.
