My Top 10 Favourite Psychics

A list of my top 10 psychics, mostly from Marvel/DC. All of them have telepathy, but most of them also have telekinesis or other powers.

List items

  • My favourite superhero character of all time. Although she isn't one of the strongest Marvel 616 telepaths, I love her character, aesthetic, powers, and development.

  • One of the most powerful superheroes in DC, and arguably one of the strongest telepaths. What I especially love about J'onn is that even though he has a plethora of other powers/abilities, he still utilizes his telepathy very often.

  • Originally my favourite telepath, back when I first played X-Men Legends on the PS1. Other than Jean and Xavier, Emma is the most popular and recognizable psychic from the X-Men. She's a boss a** b****.

  • Even without the Phoenix, Jean is an absolutely powerful telepath and arguably the best telepath of all the X-Men. An iconic character, with a higher resurrection count than pretty much anyone else in comics.

  • Specifically the Young Justice version. Although initially not confident or skilled with her powers, she develops into a powerful telepath throughout the first two seasons of the show.

  • This trio (and formerly quintuple) was also introduced to me in X-Men Legends 2: Rise of Apocalypse. I love the idea of a group of psychics with a hive mind. They aren't as powerful as their mother, but they are still quite skilled telepaths and have been developed a lot over the years. I'm also a big fan of their version from The Gifted TV series, where they go by the Frost Sisters.

  • While not quite as powerful a telepath as the likes of Jean and Emma, she is pretty darn close and a very strong telekinetic to boot. I only started liking her in the last decade. Her costumes are terrible though.

  • The psychic/alien/evil twin of Charles Xavier. She is ruthless and powerful, both in telepathy and telekinesis. She has proven herself to be a worthy foe of the X-Men's telepaths.

  • Despite his questionable reputation as a "psychic", Aquaman is a pretty decent telepath, especially before the New-52 era. His ability to commune with marine life extends to a few other telepathic abilities that make him more than just some strong dude that talks to fish.

  • Her telepathy is based on magic, but I still consider her a psychic. Although she displayed some amount of telepathy in The Witcher 3 video game, she displays a lot more psychic abilities in The Witcher Netflix show, from reading minds, to communicating, to illusions and sleep inducement.
