         I know she has mild telepathy, but how good is her resistance to others.  How hard would it be for Proffessor X or Emma Frost to read her mind??  To control it??  I know she was mind controlled by the Shadow King, but she has since perfected her powers.  I'm just wondering because seeing as she is with the X-Men, i was wondering if she could be like Xavier or Emma and walk into all sorts of situations without the constant fear of being mind controlled.

    I think it was in the Manifest Destiny mini-series where she was bested telepathically by Emma. To be fair, she was still emotional over Kitty's death.

    Yup.  Emma was giving one-to-one lessons on telepathy.  She easily defeated Karma's powers saying that she needs to be less emotional... pretty lame characterisation, considering that Karma had always been a logical character, rarely prone to emotional outbursts. 
     
    But anyway, as that story demonstrated, Karma's telepathy is still pretty weak.  Her possession is pretty strong, but doesn't stand much chance against other telepaths.  And she's only started to use telepathy as an aspect of her powers, so that's still pretty weak & is easily defeated by the Professor & Emma Frost.

    Anything's possible.  Although personally, I doubt it.  I'd rather see her expand her own possession powers more, than turn into another run of the mill telepath.
