These are the ACTIVE psychics in the various pages of X books right now.
There's been some noticeable changes in some, and in others the changes were very specific but enough to upgrade their status and relevance majorly.
Professor X -no longer seems to be the standard of "telepath" on earth anymore. Three-In-One represents a level of power and ability that neither he nor White Queen can easily frame let alone overcome. The statue professor X once had as "the strongest mutant mind" on earth was forever changed by the (questionable) development of Cassandra Nova as well as M Day and later Messiah Complex. He was briefly depowered which left the vacuum for "most powerful telepath" wide open with only Three-in-one, White Queen and Marvel Girl III being the most solid candidates for that time.
The White Queen- TOTALLY benefited from the vacuum left by the absence of any competent psychics on any of the teams when she was accepted into the fold. With the exception of Jean who she is no match for, she really came to be seen as a very versatile and powerfull telepath. It's her experience and creative use of her power that saved her in a battle against Marvel Girl III, who even without being "PHOENIX III" outright anymore is still more powerfull than Emma (she herself admitted that).
Marvel Girl III- the daughter of Phoenix II. Even without being Phoenix herself, she's still an omega level mutant with telepathy, telekinesis and the rare "chronoskimming" abililty. She's powerhouse with or without the power of Phoenix at her disposal.
Three-in-One- they've been through alot. Lost two of their own, the revelation of their parentage etc. But the Cuckoos are a major source of psychic power in the X books and indeed MU. They took down Shi'ar telepath Oracle and even managed to breach the psychic defenses of Belasco in Limbo (though they couldnt touch Magik's psi screen).
Karma- another specialized, powerfull psychic who Emma coldly pointed out had "years of wasted potential" to account for. She's definately rose to the challenge. Witness her posess and DECIMATE scores of soldiers from "The Right" movement during 2nd Coming. Her power of psionic posession has become much more fluent and far reaching than her early years and it shows. She can posess multiple targets and strike from vast distances. She's now a very formidable character.
Psylocke- From psycho blasting telepath, to high powered telekinetic able to go toe to toe with Marvel Girl III to now being a high level telepath AND telekinetic. Psylocke is looking alot better now than she has in recent years thanks to Chris Yost. Still a high end telekinetic- the woman has been shown to be able to SHATTER the previously thought to be INDESTRUCTIBLE body of a Nimrod sentinel. Her telepathy has also been returned to her, mainly as utility and defense but still very strong. Enough to the point that she's been shown to one-up Emma who refused to help rehabilitate Dazzler's insane sister Mortis. She also seems to have regained some of the precognition she was once showed to have in her earliest days in print.
Hellion- At first I didnt think much of him, but Julian is FIRE. I was totally won over by him during the Childhood's End story. His firey personality, makes his TK a TRUE force to be reckoned with. He's not on Marvel Girl or Psylocke's level and he suffered a terrible loss (his hands) during the battle against the Nimrods in 2nd coming when he tried to match Psylocke's amazing feat of SHATTERING a Nimrod outright. But of the Grant Morrison crop of mutants, Hellion definately stands out as one of the better creations.
Cypher- wasnt much to look at back in the day, but NOW he's definately one to watch. Following his return from the dead in X-necrosha...his ability changed at its core level/description. In addition to being able to understand any type of communication regardless of orgin or even if its alien/offworld, He can now "read"/perceive just about ANYTHING including actions (such as combat or violence) as LANGUAGE and he can decode/find a way to overcome it in almost EVERY instance. He single handedly defeated the entire New Mutants team until Magik struck him down. He held off heavy hitters like Wolverine as well. He can now also communicate with machines in such a way that allows them to not only RESPOND but he can take command of them. How far can he go? He engaged MASTER MOLD in battle and ultimately overpowered the super sentinel, rewriting its programming and rendering it (and the army of nimrods) INERT in 2nd coming. He's come a LONG way and clearly cant be underestimated.
Legion- a recent run in with Magik & Karma left Legion black and blue. Rehbilitation on Utopia under the watch of Danger & Xavier has made Legion more docile and Danger's use of technology has allowed Legion to organize his personalities/powers by type and category. When under her or Xavier's supervision and guidance, Legion finally can show why he is an omega level threat. Witness his creative ways of destroying the supposedly indestructible nimrods during 2nd coming. He's a good background character to have around on Utopia.
