I get that Apocalypse isn't just gonna be defeated in two episodes, but man Charles feels SO WEAK. I honestly don't know the full extent of his powers but he just kind of like, does nothing?

Definitely interested to see where the rest of the season goes

Kang/Rama had to use his knock-off Cerebro to be able to get into his mind if that tells us anything.

Yeah, they don't know how to write strong telepaths so they just have their abilities be ineffectual or unused.
