Professor X

[spathiphyllum]

If Professor X can move things with his mind, why can't he just move his legs?

Have to be continuous concentrated effort so not worthwhile ?

[spathiphyllum]

Yes and when i first started reading, that's how i read. Now i can skim averts, books, ingredients without any concentrated effort. Practise makes perfect. He is of the highest ability of xmen, but can't control his own legs. It makes no sense in my opinion and it seems others agree.

He can't move things with his mind - he has telepathic powers, not telekinetic ones.

[spathiphyllum]

If that's correct LIK then it makes perfect sense. I thought his abilities went further than telepathy but if not then fair

[Old_Geezer]

But that's because you got the subconscious subroutines to take over the task. Some things need conscious attention.

[Old_Geezer]

Anyway it seems the consensus is that you are mistaken in what he does.

I may well be my Xmen knowledge is OK but not the best he is a complex character.
