This raises an interesting point though, and one I've yet to really think about. You say Magmire is immune, and I assume it's due to his bacteria having a collective conscious. Nuvi is made up of billions of minds. One mind controls them, yes, but there are still billions of separate minds in there. Wouldn't Psycho have some difficulty sifting through all those minds to single out the one that's doing the controlling? Well, Psycho could just read a mind and figure out who the main one is. All of the minds should know who is controlling Nuvi and the other minds. So if Psycho read a mind, he could figure out who is controlling it and use his mind powers on the main mind. |

Oy, I'm not sure. See, problem here is I never really put a ton of thought into the mechanics that go into Nuvi because I never really expected to be in a debate like this where it was a real issue. The impression I'd always had with him is that the one mind that controls him, Kree is just one mind among billions, it just happens to be the mind that's pulling the strings, the other minds are just...there. They all think like him, because he forced them to. If you've read Kaiju Uprising, you'd note that a collective consciousness is what was supposed to occur, but Kree's willpower overwhelmed the rest of the Nuvians and forced them over to his way of thinking. So I'm still not entirely convinced Nuvi is either vulnerable nor immune to Psycho's powers. |

I think Psycho's mind attacks should be able to work on Nuvi, but I wish that TG could come in and say what he thinks about this considering it's his monster and he knows it better than anybody here. If Psycho starts using his mind attacks ASAP, he should be able to defeat Nuvi. With that in mind, I vote Psychosis.

Psychosis wins yet again for being a cheap, mindjobbing SOB.

*sigh* okay, one last-ditch effort here.
Assuming that the mind-tricks will work without fail (and due to the billions of minds that inhabit Nuvi, that's questionable), Psycho is going to have to keep them up non-stop. The moment he lets up for second, Nuvi will be all over him with his heaviest, strongest attacks, as he'll realize how dangerous Psycho is.
What about the ability to read minds? Well, if Nuvi realizes that Psycho can read his mind, which he might get wind of once Psycho counters his attacks without fail, Nuvi will probably, for lack of a better term, shut off his mind, and simply attack without thinking. If Nuvi doesn't know what attacks he's going to use next, neither will Psychosis.
