Is he the only Telepath/shapeshifter who isn't just evil? Even the "good" ones just casually invade people's minds, but MMH won't do it without consent.
>>155392900Telepathy isn’t his only power, which probably helps. Seems like anyone whose ONLY power is telepathy eventually goes down the path of villainy (whether the story acknowledges it or not), while telepathy + something else (especially anything arguably on that telepathy’s power level) tends to keep other options open.
>rare good telepath>has the most threatening ass name
>>155392900No, God is. Stop worshipping highly satanic false idols
>>155392920Christian God tortured Job over a bet, killed innocent Egyptian children, and had all of Canaan raped by his followers.
Another problem (beyond writers having no sense of morality) is Marvel and the like make all psychics overpowered and able to do anything. Just because you are a mentalist doesn't mean you should automatically be able to read everyones minds at once and effortlessly twist them to whatever it is you want (and usually at massive range to boot).God forbid a telepath would just have the ability to communicate mind-to-mind with others or general empathic abilities.
>>155392920Kys>>155392929Go back
Remember that whole story about the Justice League mind raping batman? Where was Jon during that
>>155393119I think out in space.
He is the most consistently principled Telepath.And compared to the average Marvel telepath, he is Martian Mr Rogers returned.
>>155392900>Even the "good" ones just casually invade people's mindsSuch as?
>>155393119They mindraped him too, because they knew he would defend Batman from having his mind violated like that.
>>155394756KEKEven he’s a victim of the jerkass telepaths
>>155394756They might as well have hawkman chowing down on a baby with how evil he's portrayed in those panels
>>155394659Every supposed 'heroic' x-men telepath
>>155392900I feel like tommy abused more his x ray vision than the telepathy.
>>155395254One of those hitman cufflinks
>>155395935What about it?
>>155392900>Embodiment of Life and Willpower in the AbsoluteverseVery based.
>>155393119Not Mind raping batman
>>155392920Why are you even here you fucking bot
>>155392912Jean is the living proof that this isn't a hard rule.
>>155392914Originally, his name meant detective
>>155394756To be fair, it was to stop Doctor Light from going on a rape spree
>>155392900There is another.
>>155398114Telekinetics and telepathy are closely-related enough that I’d argue otherwise, but if you mean the Phoenix fire-conjuring stuff then I guess that’s fair.Jean’s a special breed of cardboard, though. I can’t name any other exceptions.
>>155392900Having work ethics and coming from a civilization where you can't look into people's minds without their consent actually works wonders.
>>155392900I guess.
>>155398574probably considered evil by op
>>155392900He was a saint for dealing with the JLI on a daily basis.
Marvel telepaths are all sociopaths for some reason. Is a rarer power in DC. But mostly it's a power given to villains, because changing someone's mind is a villainous thing to do.Also there are characters who can probably read minds but don't seem to normally be written to do it like Raven or Dr. Fate.As far as shapeshifting goes that probably isn't correlated to being good or evil. Plenty of characters out there like Plastic Man and plenty like Mystique.
>>155404499Double dubs for the strongest truth.
>>155392900The thing is as time has gone on the general consensus on telepathy and such has gone from "wow that's cool" to "wow, that's fucked up". I can't really bring myself to see someone having their autonomy stripped from them and see it as a good thing. Hell, even in Marvel you have Mesmero, Purple Guy and Mandrill to show why mind control is so fucking bad.
>>155404503I'd say it's a mutant thing but Moon Dragon is a pretty huge bitch a lot of the time and Mantis... well she's done stuff.
>shares his hero title with fucking intergalactic robo-spooks that's been long disavowed by said intergalactic authority for being too authoritarianDC has yet to address this in a definitive way.
>>155394756Ollie agreeing to this is the only thing that is in-character.
>”WAAAAAHHHHH, DOING A MENTAL MUMBO-JUMBO ON THE GENOCIDICAL CANNIBAL PEDOPHILE IS LE HECKIN BAYD!!!”Why are capeshitfags like this?
>>155398114>>155400013Jean was pretty much fine when she was just telekinetic, but pure telekinetics seem almost strangely rare to me. And it's a moot point because she didn't stay that way.>>155404989Nobody's bothered by that bit, really. Telepathy is unusual in that the violation is regularly played as a joke at the expense of innocent bystander victims, particularly in Marvel.
