Professor X is the most powerful mutant from the x-men series.

To be honest I agree with allot of points that my opponent has stated, but none of them answer the question, and therefore his argument is rendered completely irrelevant. After Jean Gray had been 'touched' by the phoenix where the Phoenix force and herself combined; her powers became almost limitless, far exceeding the powers of Charles Xavier. To use your own words 'As Phoenix, nothing can stop Jean Gray'. But this is where the issue stands with your argument; as for you to prove that Professor X is not the most powerful mutant, you first have to prove that Jean Gray the living mutant and the Phoenix the entity created as a child of the universe are one and the same thing. And if you fail to prove this then it renders all your points in round 1 useless. So to get on with the matter in hand. Is Gene Gray and the Phoenix one and the same things; and if they can be argued to be the same person, can they be defined as a 'mutant'. Jean Gray discovered her powers after a painful childhood event at the age of 10; which awoke her powers and discovered that she was a mutant. At that time her powers were very weak and she needed training so she could expand those powers; which came from Charles Xavier. At the same time the Phoenix force was traveling through space after being involved in a conflict between Feron and Necrom; in which she had combined with Feron to create the phoenix. So at the beginning of their life's I think we can easily agree that Jean Gray and the Phoenix force were not the same entity. It was some 25 years after Jean's birth was the actual first time that the phoenix force and Jean came into contact. This occurred while Jean was out in space using her weak telepathic to try and control the spaceship which some of the x-men were travelling on back into the earths atmosphere. And although she achieved this feat, she was to weak to protect herself from the radiation in space. The Phoenix force had been in space at this point, waiting to try and enter earth; and seeing this event decided to touch Gene so that the two of them would combined. http://www.just-marvel-x-men.com... (that's the original page from the marvel comic) This proves that Jean and the Pheonix force are not one and the same thing; instead that the Phoenix is a separate entity which recognized that Jean would be a good vessel to enter earth in. You could try to argue that Jean uses the phoenix as a weapon which means she is more powerful that Professor X; but this seems a very weak method as it fails to answer the original question which quite obviously is interested in the mutants themselves. In the same way you can't argue that a bad guy with a machine gun is better than James bond; if you are only comparing the characters themselves. But lets's say you let those pretty daunting issues slide by some unknown method and continue down the same path that Jean Gray is the Phoenix; then your faced with the issue that is the Phoenix when combined with Jean Gray a 'mutant'. A mutant according to Marvel is a living organism which has a genetic trait called an x-gene. But after Jean and the Phoenix have combined Jean can no longer defined as a human or a living organism (this is stated when Scott talks to her about these new powers she has found as he is her love interest, and she admits she no longer believes she is a living creature) So to conclude I think you argument is irrelevant as it is incredibly hard to prove that Jean and the Phoenix force are the same thing; and even if you do they are not defined as a 'mutant' (which is obviously required for the question). I suggest my opponent tries selecting another character on which to attempt to trump the incredible power of Profesor X. http://en.wikipedia.org...(comics) http://www.just-marvel-x-men.com... http://www.milehighcomics.com...
