Mostly for the lols, I actually think she'd be stopped at 3

Captain America can stop Mjolnir with his shield, and both Steve and Bruce have a high chance of being worthy (made higher if Jane is now morality off)

@koays:

I reckon if Apocalypse makes Stryfe and Sinister two horsemen, they could easily win. It'd depend on how much added power they'd get, but I reckon it'd be enough.

Round 1, Psylocke and Jean mind control Polaris, making it a pretty simple 3v1.

Round 2, is far more dependent on how much malleable metal is around. Also might change if the planet has a strong or weak electromagnetic field. Regardless, if Magneto can pull off his heart attack thing he did on Jean once before, he might be able to take out Jean. Magnet team can take out Psylocke at range, but if Telekinesis team can crush helmets on heads, they'll probably win.

I barely know Exodus or Candra, but if Nova can mind control Rachel or Teen Jean, then the fight pretty much goes to the villains.

Xorn Jean has beaten 4 out of 5 once, but not all 5.

That said, normal Jean has the power of boring them to death with a monologue.

I'm inclined to think the 5 team wins by attrition really.

Quentin and the Cuckoos win, then the Cuckoos double cross Quentin.

Perfect.

Jean and Scott are the PBJ sandwich relationship. As good as normie pairings get with a tragic but pure destiny to it.

Emma and Scott are the chocolate croissant. Hard to get right, but sweet, delicious, very complicated and a guilty pleasure.

@koays: Thats all great.

But then I consider the flip side of it all. Most of it is recent stuff, which explains why only rwcently, do I get tilted.

I only ask that her telepathy is defined better because for each high you mention, there is an equal low elsewhere.

Every interaction... no, most interactions between her and Tean Jean end up with Teen Jean beating her telepathically. Even so far as Emma goading her into a telepathic fight, to Xorn jean being defeated solely by Tean Jean, to Tean Jean wrestling conteol of Teen Scott. The only time Emma wins is by nose boop - and even then, Teen Jean has better telekinetic plot armor than Emma's Diamond body.

Don't get me wrong - I cherish emma's badassery on the telepathic level, where it goes from taking out Sinister while missing an arm, fighting a cabal of Skrull telepaths, or making Havok go super saiyan. But for me, her telepathy has been soul crushingly pointless for the past few years.

I take particular oddity with the Black Bolt and Medusa part. Is it explicitly stated that the Royal family specifically underwent telepathic resistance training? Either that happened radically off screen or I missed it, because it seems odd they specifically bothered against Emma Frost given Maximus has been messing around with them for ages. I also remember Emma and the Cuckoos mind controlled people anywhere. I don't see Medusa having mental resilience in most wikis, even though Black Bolt has always had telepathic resilience.

It just seems like the writer copped out on having Emma having free reign of her powers, despite being able to mcguffin a legion of Sentinels. It reeks of horrible, backwards facing writing.

At most, I'm asking for forward facing writing - have fights resolved with skillsets in mind, not an arbitrary endgoal.at least, I want clever teamwork and interesting power usage, which I barelt see telepaths doing nowadays.

Again, Emma past feats are good, but they don't mean anything if the current spate of writing isn't in line with them.

@hawk2916: In that case, it'd be smarter to simplify the 'bad hair day'. And, as I said before, any BS that Emma faces on a regular basis is in service of another plucky hero.

I guess I don't like plucky heroes - and bad writing.
