I think the point that Roddy is trying to make is, that Xavier initiated the battle with Phoenix meaning he was powerful enough to break through her defenses, same way he did it to Galactus, the end result was in their favor, but MM is not on the level of Phoenix or Galactus, so Xavier should not have a tough time busting through his defenses and engaging him.
@LordOfAllHumans: Sry but I don't buy it, getting though the defences of the Phoenix would mean he could actually harm it. Jean gave him enough power to battle it and survive long enough for her to regain control. As far as I can see it's a case of him being able to distract it, but he had no hope of being anything more than an irritation. Steamroller vs mouse.

Xavier psi blasted Phoenix when Jean was in control talking to Scott, this took her out allowing Phoenix to take over again. It doesn't mean he can harm it, he did the same thing to Galactus and didn't harm him at all. Jean helped him during the battle, and don't know why you keep mentioning it, everyone is aware of that and that is the only reason he won, but he got in there and started the fight himself and proved that his mind was strong enough to wage war on all those planes without losing his mind, the last person that she gave a glimpse of her mind to went catatonic, Mastermind. It's all to illustrate that MM is not on the level of Phoenix or Galactus, so his mental defense will not be nearly as strong. Phoenix wanted to fight, like she did to Emma she likes to test the limits of her foe and then when they have gone as far as they can go, she shows them how powerful she really is except Jean didn't let her do that by fighting the Phoenix, Galactus doesn't play games like that so he just kinda swatted Xavier back into his body. Xavier should have no problem engaging MM, if he can even get the attention of these two. Xavier can gather the thoughts and psi energy of billions and use it as a weapon pretty much instantly from his showing with Galactus, and from what he did to the Z'noxx, now MM can read the minds of billions, but can he take a psi blast composed of that much raw psi energy from the minds of billions?

Martian Manhunter got into the mind of Spectre and shut him down, along with getting past Mageddon's mental defenses, who is a galactic level telepath. Martian Manhunter has high end feats as well.
^^^^^^^^ What He Said
...and Phoenix and Galactus should be considered in Xaviers case, that plus he is powerful enough to fully wield the mind gem and can enter the collective consciousness of the entire universe (which takes great skill and power). Xavier himself has galactic level telepathic feats. What Spectre was it? Then there is fact that Xavier can almost instantly collect psi energy from billions of minds on planetary and over intergalactic scales and use them as weapons. I really don't see anything that MM can do that Xavier can't. Now my question as posed before can MM take a psi blast that is the cumulative psi force of billions of mind?

MM had a similar feat in Brightest Day, I think, by summoning all the minds on the planet and using it against D'Kay D'Razz all while on Mars. So, yes, I think he can.

I didn't ask could he duplicate the feat, I asked could he take the attack?
@LordOfAllHumans: I keep mentioning it because you make it sound like Charles fought a long and exhausting battle on his own before Jean suddenly popped up and saved the day, whereas I read it as she was there since the beginning. Meaning this feat is about as valid as saying: Superman beat Mandrakk...while forgetting to mention the Thought Robot he had to use to be able to do that.
Also this is getting increasingly silly, the Pro-Xavier is painting him as the God Almighty when it comes to psionics, but still cant explain why he needs a machine to find people.

@LordOfAllHumans: During Terror Incognita Nine Whote Martian who had amped their telepathy by stealing it from the minds of telepaths on earth couldn't get past MMH's defences and that was when he had been captured
so they used the powers of billions of minds including all telepathic and non-telepathic minds? They were amping their own powers, not using the collective psionic energy of billions as a weapons. Doesn't seem the same to me.

No one is making anything up. Charles battled her under his own power. There was no indication that Phoenix gave him any type of power up what so ever. Jean only held back the Phoenix power. Saying that she gave Xavier power to fight herself is completely absurd. You're dancing around the fact that he intiated the battle and holding on to the dialogue that you are completely taking out of context yet again.
Also this is getting increasingly silly, the Pro-Xavier is painting him as the God Almighty when it comes to psionics, but still cant explain why he needs a machine to find people.
Lol no one said he was the God of psionics (that's Phoenix) and yet you still ignore fact that Xavier has done global and galactic feats without the aid of Cerebro. Really is that all you have to stand on?

I'm not making it sound like anything but what it was, where does it say she was there from the beginning? It is shown in the issue that when she was in control her attacked her taking out the Jean Grey persona allowing Phoenix to regain control. The feat is him initiating the attack and surviving his mind being spread across infinite planes without going insane, it was clearly the point when Roddy was saying to you. You keep focusing on Jean helping him so that he could erect the psyhic circut breakers, when there is more to the battle, you also keep ignoring that MM is nowhere near her level, so he wouldn't need help fighting him, and an attack from MM does no span all realities.
Where is he being painted as God, when the MM camp is the one claiming near multiversal telepathic might on his side? The use of cerebro was explained to you several times in this thread and has been explained several times in other threads, you choosing to ignore it does not mean it was not explained, and is the reason why feats without it, that are planetary and inter-galactic have been given.

Forgot about that feat. There was also a feat of him telepathcally putting down a god who could have ended the universe.
Xavier has been far more impressive compared to what I've seen represented here for MH. Great scans and info provided here by several posters.
Cerebro is a big misconception with Xavier. I'm glad several of you were able to point out the need for it.

You are putting him on the level of a god when you say he could battle the Phoenix on several levels of reality unaided.
And no, it's not absurd to say she was there from the start, because if he is not it's equal (as you've repeatedly claimed) then he 1 man holding back a river with the remains of the dam that is Jean Grey.

You lean far too heavily on something that's not a feat at all. A malnourished child can engage Doomsday in a fight as well, but unless Superman happens to be right behind him, he is going to loose badly.
As far as I am concerned Jean was there from the start and you haven't provided a shred of evidence that it was not the case.
And no, you havent explained cerebro or why Charles even needs it if he is as horrendously powerful as you claim he is. All you do it post a bunch of scans that mean nothing.

I'm sorry but i'm not about to do this same song and dance with you. It's time to play a different song. Charles Xavier's mind was strong enough to engaged Phoenix on infinite planes of existence simultaneously that canon. The last time Phoenix shared put a sample of her mind she sent Mastermind into a comatose state. If Charles's mind is strong enough to not only engage the Phoenix but also endure his mind being stretched that far it is a credible feat, whether you like it or not it is canon.
And yes it is absurd to think Jean gave Xavier power when she was only holding back the Phoenix. You're nitpicking and throwing everything oput of context but you can't deny the fact that Xavier used his own power to engage Phoenix.

How is it not a feat? The fact is he was able to penetrate her mind, he was able to penetrate the mind of Galactus, the end result is irrelevant because MM is not on either of their level. He should be more than capable enough to hold his own against the Martian.
As far as you are concerned does not mean Jean was helping him the whole time, it's just what you think...big difference
Roddy explained, Cerebro is used to help him better pinpoint mutants, it does not increase his powers. Cerebra was the machine that increased psi power not cerebro.
@Outside_85 said:
@LordOfAllHumans: And you have still failed to provide evidence of it being any different.
It's only stated that he won because Jean helped him win, it does not say I was only able to enter her mind or survive my mind being dragged across infinite planes with Jeans help, that and the Galactus feat provide evidence that he can engage the minds of cosmic entities, and thus should have no problem engaging a Martian in battle.
If your talking about Cerebro, I have provided the different designs in two different machines used by him and other telepaths, and you have been given feats of him performing global and intergalactic feat without it.

@LordOfAllHumans: MMh has been able to enter the mind of The Spectre, who is far above Galactus and more powerful than pheonix jean grey
That is not the point, the point is both have shown the ability to enter the mind of cosmic beings, so MM having feats of doing such does not automatically rank him above Xavier. And I'll ask again at what level was Spectre when this was done? His level power is relevant when stating that "mortals" can beat him, otherwise it seems like the same PIS that allowed Deathstroke to take out powerful members of the JLA.
@CitizenBane: he is the most powerful on marvel earth.
and he does not need a machine to take over the minds of everyone on earth it just makes it easier he has done this and more in stressful situations.
and xaiver has more detailed powers.
@dex_starr: This is true MMH has been able to shut down people's brains and even tap into the thoughts of the entire world at one time. He even beat Doctor Destiny in telepathy that is CRAZY. If he can do this I think he would destroy the professor.
@saren: there's other telepaths more powerful in recent but he has long considered most powerful actual human. He once controlled all minds in a country. X wins.
This is supposed to be more impressive than Martian Manhunter harnessing the thoughts of the entire planet or scanning the emotions of the entire galaxy?
J'onn
MMH. Even compared to the rest of his race, J'onn appears to be uniquely gifted in telepathy. The Fernus arc alone shows us what would happen if he had no moral restrictions on using his abilities, such as taking control of two JL members who are highly resistant to TP as well as one who was supposedly immune to TP. Add in the fact that he's performed well against cosmic forces, I just don't see how Professor Xavier even compares. Moondragon would have been a more fair opponent.
Xavier is considered to be the world's most powerful telepath in the Marvel universe
No he's not
