Would it be possible for Levi to get a weapon for self defense at the moment? Asking since we are still pretty young and am wondering how that would look for the old man.

The old man would want him to be trained in such a weapon, either by himself or someone he trusts.

That's good to hear, that said imagine that if we get training in a lethal weapon that there times we would want to avoid using it. I mean for pragmatic reasons since I imagine that there will be times where people would actually be trying to capture us alive and thus in that situation we'd want to avoid going lethal so they don't do the same.

If he trained us in firearms, he is going to drill us to the point where we could hit the fly off the back of a dog at 100 yards.
He's a bit parinoid after all.

The super soldier serum that created Captain America. How dead is that?

Not dead enough. Cap gave enough blood to make a lesser version of it.
Cause korea is getting their cap.
And red guardian was not lying when he said he fought captain America.
It just wasn't Steve Rogers

First Charles is not interested in power, only acceptance, for mutants so they are not descriminated against and so they can learn to control their powers in a safe manner.
Second of all: This is Charles Xavier were talking about. He's up there with captain America in the scale of moral paragons in Marval. At least in film.
When he grows up and the lives of his students aren't threatened.

Not really my point. I'm asking what stops a mutant with telepath powers from controlling a government. I can absolutely see how a telepath can rig a democratic election, and nobody would know. A dictaorship would just make things a bit easier.
Charles Xavier is a telepath, but if mutants exist, being the only telepath is remarkable.
So, the answer is Charles Xavier can work to stop all mutant telepaths from taking over a government?
First I would like to thank you for answering my previous questions. Second, if you had to describe the approval status between terrible, bad, neutral, good, and great, what would the governments and people of of Israel, America, Britain, China, France, and the Soviet Union think about Germany's
current direction as of the last chapter?

To be fair telepaths on the scale of Xavier are insanely rare with Charles being among the top 5 telepaths by the times of the modern times. Also imagine that rigging something that scale would be next to impossible even for someone like Charles.

Well, we exiled all the commie leader, destroyed the infrastructure of the Comunist Party, and took down most secret commie organisations... So I doubts that the USSR is happy about it.

Depends on who is mind-whammied, and how long it would actually take to rig the election with mind-whammy. Does the telepath need a few years, or could they do it in one day?

There are only a few telepaths near the level that would be needed to take over a government.
Jean Gray, Emma Frost and apocalypse come to mind. And they are some of the most powerful in history.
And Charles has stopped rouge telepaths from taking over governments before, at least in comics.
He's been there done that.
Israel: Bad. The Jews have long memories and even if there are more of them, and this German government stopped it, they hold no love for the German republic.
America: Good. Let's just say Daddy Eisenhower is happy that the German denazification are doing good.
Britian: neutral. They have their own shit to worry about. Also God save the Queen.
China: Neutral. Both sides know Germany helped them so they are trying to play nice.
France: Bad. France does not like a unified Germany. At all.
Soviets: Bad. We gave the radical left and right the boot.
Indeed. Hell even Apocolypse can't start his new world plan without Charles. Charles is the most powerful telepath in human history.

They are not but can't do anything about because according to international and German law: they commited acts of terrorism and treason… they will be executed if they stood trial. The evidence against them overwhelming.
Not until the 80s
And we have a long way to go before that.
And lots of planned adventures… and Nazi hunting.

True, but I can see minor telepaths being widely used by unscrupulous politicians or marketing agencies...
They don't really need to mind control anyone, but if they can implant an extremely minor and undetectable compulsion like "I'm feeling lazy, I won't go to vote tomorrow" or "I want a Coca Cola" to a great number of people, I can see an easy way of rigging off elections...

yeah, not in the marvel universe that's almost impossible for many reasons just stop trying to find an escape.

Relax dude, I was just pointing out that you don't really need an extremely powerful telepaths to fuck things up, and another way of creatively use mental powers.

If you know even the minimum of marvel and use common logic you will discover all the other reasons (some are that there are shield which exists in part to prevent that from happening, super criminals or criminal bosses in general, which will be too obvious and less so I managed to control the whole world it will be discovered easily and I will not give more)
ok, but what you say would still be impossible except for the most powerful telepaths, otherwise it would be too weak or impossible.
And it is not that I get angry (I would only ignore it if it were so or I would report them for diverting the thread) but they are beginning to divert the thread for something that is not even saved with the excuse of "is that there is someone with that power who would be interested"

There's also another fact to consider that a lot of people don't think about.
That telepath would also need to micro-manage literally everything. They'd basically be unable to do anything else on the off-chance that their puppet (s) managed to screw something up while they were, say, sleeping.
Is the comic 'Truth: Red, White, and Black' going to be canon to this quest?
