…and they’re great. Loving these books. Gail is such a great character writer and Jed’s team dynamics shine through. They’re fun and feel character driven. Lot of set up for a long game and I like the new characters in both titles. It’s great! I see these runs get a lot of hate and I get that’s it’s not Krakoa but these books are good. I love em.

I like to debate politics online. There’s a Wolverine quote I love to use.

“Terrorist is what the big army calls the little army”.

I can’t find it for the life of me. I’m pretty sure it’s part of the Outback era.

Anyway, is there an X-men line that sticks with you?

I haven’t been keeping up with the newest run but I keep hearing things about Beast’s replacement or the original Beast coming back. What happened?

I saw a thread on here about which characters we want to see more of but what about the ones that get too much exposure?

For me it's Wolverine. I love the guy but come on! Cyclops is on my list too. It's good to see him getting love in '97 but there are other students of Xavier.

Hey guys! I've been a casual X-Men fan and a lurker in this sub for a bit of time now, but I haven't read much of the actual comics (with that I mean the ongoing series, I've read some isolated minis and annuals). I'm a new comics fan in general, so I have basically been playing catch up with everything. I have my plan kind of laid out, there's like 4 eras I want to read, those being the 2000s Astonishing and New X-Men Era, the Revolutionary Era and the Krakoa Era, in addition to keeping up with the current series that's just starting out. I also feel obligated to read through Claremont, but to be honest it doesn't really interest me as much.

But I can't read everything at once, obviously, so I'd like to stick to one or two series for now, so I don't get too overwhelmed. Which ones should I prioritize? Should I just read through Krakoa while following the new stuff, should I do my homework and read Claremont, should I just choose one series and read through it all before moving on to the others so I don't get confused, what do you guys think?

Hello guys, i collected Krakoa era in anthology format(?) like on the picture. I have HoX/PoX, XoS, Inferno and X lives &Deaths Wolverine in HC format. I was buying these comics after they went on sale but when they stopped to prints this collectibles i stop to follow & buy current stories.

So, I would like to complete Krakoa era, I checked some pages but I couldn't find proper guide. How should I continue until end of Krakoa ? I want to buy&every limited series.

Sorry for the low effort post, but I just realized this could be a chance for Illyana and Kitty get together instead of Petter and Kitty!

Juggernaut is just sometimes a bro for no reason haha.

His relationship with tom is just weirdly wholesome and then theres this. How can ya hate the guy?

This is mostly an inquiry on them as a ship, and less of their friendship. But I think any issues with one affect the other as well.

I really like Emma and Kitty, especially in marauders, but reading into their history outside of that makes me question liking them together?

Theres multiple moments in the run when they’re together that are heavily implied that they are more than just friends (like Emma kissing her and holding her). I think what gives me the ick is that Emma was 27 (correct me if I’m wrong) and kitty was 13 when they met, and although noting freaky or weird was implied between their interactions, Emma still kidnapped and manipulated kitty to get to the xmen multiple times, and I think that being the basis of them being nemeses (along with their clashing opinions) just makes me view them differently with how they are now.

However, they are both clearly consenting adults and don’t base their friendship (or deeper relationship) on anything from the past. Comics change and they were both first introduced in the 70s, stuff will change. I feel like I might be overthinking all of this but I would really like to hear some other people’s thoughts, especially because I don’t see it talked about much!

Sorry today has been really crappy and X-Men makes me happy

1. Jean Grey (Phoenix Force)

• Power Level: Infinite (with Phoenix Force)
• Jean Grey, when bonded with the Phoenix Force, is undoubtedly the most powerful telepath in the Marvel Universe. Her powers go far beyond mind control and telepathic manipulation—she can control matter, reality, and even life itself. Even without the Phoenix Force, Jean’s telepathic abilities are exceptional, but it's the Phoenix that puts her at the top.

2. Emma Frost

• Power Level: Extremely High
• Emma Frost, as a telepath, has shown remarkable offensive abilities, mental resilience, and versatility. She can dominate powerful telepaths (even Xavier), create psychic weapons, manipulate large groups of people, and resist psychic assaults with her Diamond Form. Her telepathic feats often surpass those of Xavier, especially in terms of mental control and creativity.

3. Professor X (Charles Xavier)

• Power Level: Near-infinite (depending on his state)
• Charles Xavier is one of the most iconic and skilled telepaths in the Marvel Universe, with abilities that include mind reading, telepathic manipulation, and psychic defense. However, his power sometimes pales in comparison to Emma's aggressive tactics or Jean's connection with the Phoenix. His moral code also means he holds back, which can be seen as a limitation.

4. Rachel Summers (Phoenix)

• Power Level: Very High (with Phoenix Force)
• Rachel Summers, as the daughter of Jean Grey and Scott Summers, inherited her mother's telepathic powers, which are further amplified when she connects with the Phoenix Force. Her abilities rival Jean’s when bonded with Phoenix, and she can manipulate minds and reality on a grand scale, though she has been less consistently portrayed as a telepath than her mother.

5. Psylocke (Betsy Braddock)

• Power Level: High
• Psylocke's telepathic abilities are formidable, with the power to create psychic weapons, manipulate minds, and even project illusions. While she is typically seen as a highly skilled fighter, her telepathic prowess, especially in combat, makes her a significant asset to the X-Men.

6. Cable (Nathan Summers)

• Power Level: Moderate to High (depending on the era)
• Cable possesses both telepathic and telekinetic abilities, though his telepathy is often overshadowed by his combat experience and advanced technology. His telepathic skills are potent, but he is more known for his tactical mind and telekinetic powers, and he’s sometimes depicted with less control over his telepathy compared to others.

7. Madelyne Pryor

• Power Level: High
• A clone of Jean Grey, Madelyne Pryor shares many of Jean’s telepathic and telekinetic powers. While she hasn’t consistently been a major player like her genetic counterpart, her telepathic abilities are potent, especially when she is emotionally and mentally unbound, like when she took on the X-Men and controlled minds at will.

8. X-Man (Nate Grey)

• Power Level: High
• Nate Grey is often portrayed as one of the most powerful telepaths in the X-Men universe, with abilities similar to Jean Grey’s. His power was amplified in various storylines, and he has demonstrated immense telepathic potential. However, his unstable nature and lack of experience sometimes limit his effectiveness compared to others on this list.

9. Zaladane

• Power Level: Moderate
• Zaladane has the ability to absorb and control other mutants' powers, including telepathic ones. After briefly taking Xavier’s telepathic abilities, she demonstrated impressive telepathic feats. While her power is temporary and dependent on what she absorbs, she’s shown herself capable of impressive feats when at full strength.

10. Maggott

• Power Level: Low to Moderate
• Maggott’s telepathic abilities are quite unique and generally considered weak compared to other telepaths on this list. His telepathic powers are mainly focused on his connection with his sentient digestive system, which allows him to communicate with and control them, but this is a far cry from the abilities of other major telepaths like Xavier or Emma Frost.

There is just so much coded language.

I love him
