Easy. Mind reading without mind control. He can read surface thoughts in battle to gain basically a precog advantage. He can also read dealer thoughts and gour dedicated thought with more concentration and time but would need someone else to protect him if he tried this in battle.
>>84160972
How did you know that was gonna work?

>Why do you always do that?
Do what?
>You know what I mean. And don't say 'It's because I'm Batman.'
It's just.....sort of, become my catchphrase
>Really? That's the best one you could come up with?
Oh yeah? Well what's yours Mr. Mourn-for-them?
>That's easy. Truth, Justice and the American way.
That's lame.
>It's better than 'Because I'm Batman.'
Oh yeah? Then what would you use?
>Easy. *cough* 'I am vengeance. I am the night. I am Batman!'

Can hear the surface thoughts of those that intentionally broadcast them to him/her, and broadcast his/her own thought to anyone within a given range. Effectively just the team communications person, allowing everyone to communicate silently over a large area.

loved that scene

The latter
Don't worry professor I shall make a snow storm
I did it.
>>84160949
Telepathy covers a large range of powers. Mind-control, telepathic link, empathy, emotion manipulation, mind control, body surfing. You can easily put limits on all of them.
For example, Coe Geass:
- a guy with the power to make a person follow his orders. However, he needs to look them in the eye while giving it and he gets only one order per person.
- a guy who can read minds but has no control on it and it drives him crazy.
- a guy who can erase your memories, if you look you in the eye directly.
Or in JoJo, second D'Arby - wth power to read people's soul and find their secrets... but only for yes/no questions.
>>84164470
Season 1 a GOAT.
>>84165462
Phhht, you? You don't look like you could break open a fortune cookie. Obviously it was every one else that weakened it before you came in for the cheap take down.
Get out of here you cheat!

Pretty much what they did with Hitman. They just gave him mind reading and x-ray vision, but after realizing it was too much for a character in his setting, they "injured" him and made it so his mind reading gave him horrible migraines.
You guys always think of telepathic powers and superpowers in general in such mechanistic terms, like we're talking about skills and stats in video games that they just select with a button. Telepathy is based in empathy and intuition, you can't be a telepath and just be an irreverent person detached from the emotional energies of the people around you. You will be effected by the emotions of the person you're making contact with, and you will struggle to control your own mental focus

Emma Frost, some of the time. No TK, has to work for serious mind control, and diamond form locks her out of telepathy if she needs to not be knocked out.

You were saying?
>>84163632
I remember seeing an interview--maybe one of the extras on the DVD collection, or maybe one of the creator interviews online--where they said one of the challenges was actually designing encounters that COULDN'T be solved by Superman just swooping in and solving everything for the rest of the team.
>>84167981
hell, i'll watch that
>>84164332
Did he have the penance chair?
>>84161077
Not as good as when he was almost defeated by Hitler staring at him
>>84160949
He can read minds but he doesnt understand the language the villain thinks in so he writes it all down by sound and goes on a quest to find some sort of rosetta stone.

>>84160978
>>84162851
Basically these.
I would also add that the telepath can access deeper thoughts if in close proximity and having time to concentrate. Useless in a battle, but excellent for interrogation.
>>84171632
How is he a telepath?
>>84170194
*broott*
So, how perverse must a Person's mind be to actually harm a telepath?
>>84164300
>>84164315
I think the rationale here is that superman conducts electricity like normal despite his invulnerability, and electricity still hurts like fuck because he has nerves, so Livewire can hurt him even though she can't harm him.
>>84174592
Livewire can hurt my dick if you know what I'm saying

Thats the best answer anyone could have given to >>84160949
