    Why telepaths don't brainwash all humans? Like that, they could create a peaceful coexistence between mutants and humanity, no?

    Plot reasons which make doing anything useful with telepathy being generally frowned upon unless the recipient asks for it.

    Ethics. Plus, what if they found out? A big deal breaker on world peace is how you achieve it.

    Because it would be the end of the end of the bases on which is based all the stories of X-Men: the mutant-phobia.

    I wonder if the backlash once some of the humans inevitably figure that out would end up like "Watchmen", where the ones who know keep it a secret because the world is in a better position not knowing, or like the fallout when Batman recovered from Zatanna's attempted mindwiping or Dr. Light. There is some story potential, there.

    Why don't they just kill all humans instead ?

    No man, no problem. Anti-mutant problem solved right there.

    Not only would it be really hard to brainwash every human alive, if anyone realized they were being brainwashed mutant/human relations would be ruined.

    better yet, why not brainwash all the mutants so they can peacefully live with humans? In humans defense, we were here first. It's an environmental standpoint. The animals and trees were here first, so we should respect and nurture them to ensure our survival.

    But I mean whatever, if Scott and his goonies want to kill all humans, I am down. I loved Bender and that was his life goal.

    Oblitorating them all isn't immoral. It's a statistic. Just ask Scarlet Witch and that redhead who died.

    But it can be done, no? If a powerful telepath wants to do it, he could theorically, no? I understand that it's immoral, but what it's more immoral, let people (mutants) be killed by humans or brainswash humans (also if it's true that everyone dies one day)? And how could they create a peaceful coexistence without using immoral acts?

    This again lol. In order for someone to brainwash the whole globe, They are going to need a brain like Xavier. Xavier himself wouldn't do it. So maybe like 10 telephatics is what they going to need to brainwash the human.

    @theamazingimmortalman: The X-Men didn't even know until years later and the Shi'ar didn't keep tabs or even mind that Jean was back until a teen version showed up.
