Psychic Shield

The power in which one is immune or highly resistant to all psychic penetration. A psychic equivalent to Invulnerability. Not to be confused with Psychic Shadow.

Also Called

 * Telepathic Immunity
 * Telepathic Invulnerability
 * Psychic Invulnerability
 * Perspicuity
 * Empathic Immunity
 * Occlumency
 * Mental Shielding

Capability
The user can erect, expand, or deactivate a psionic shield, which will protect against any or all mental intrusion. This includes defense against psychic or empathic powers, hypnosis, as well as illusions and deception. Mind readers only “hear” static, while mind controllers are incapable of manipulating those shielded.

Application

 * See through mental illusions and deception.
 * Resistance to mental intrusion.
 * Protect others similarly.

Associations

 * Occasionally accompanies Mental Manipulation.
 * In Deadpool's case, accompanies Enhanced Regeneration.
 * Similar to Psychic Shadow, though different because shielding resists mental penetration, while shading obscures psychic perception.

Limits

 * Can often still be affected by psionic powers.
 * High-level telepaths may be able to bypass this.
 * User may still be able to receive a telepath's projected thoughts.
