What if a non-telepath uses cerebro ?

[u/shsl_diver]

To my understanding Cerebro is used to enhanced the telepathy of the user. What if not the telepath uses cerebro ? Would it like, fry the brains of the user ?

[u/Kinky_Winky_no2]

"What if daredevil put on glasses? "

[u/C0DENAME- → u/Kinky_Winky_no2]

"what if my grandma has wheels"

[u/mihandos → u/C0DENAME-]

Well surely it will be a British Carbonara

[u/C0DENAME- → u/mihandos]

Like what do you know

[u/thrwawayanywayagain → u/C0DENAME-]

"Then she'd be a bike"

[u/Senor_Turd_Ferguson → u/C0DENAME-]

[u/DingusKhan9164]

They become even more not telepathic and can sense mutants even less

[u/Nobodyinpartic3 → u/DingusKhan9164]

Yeah, some models do block the user's eyes.

[u/Imaginary-Bread7897 → u/Nobodyinpartic3]

mutant horse blinders...also why don't we see more mutant horses?! I think there is... one?

[u/Terrible-Issue-4910]

They get the ability to read THEIR OWN THOUGHTS

Victor von Doom built a custom version of Cerebro to use telepathy. Prof X was about to telepathically announce to the whole world that Krakoa was going to be an independent mutant nation and Doom decided to chime in because he's Doom.

[u/JCStrehle → u/Suma3da]

Love the pocket square on the smoking jacket.

[u/jackrabbit323 → u/JCStrehle]

Doom is always pure class. Also, good for him for not submitting to any nation, he'll just reverse engineer the pharmaceuticals anyway.

[u/kentotoy98 → u/jackrabbit323]

Chad DOOM always makes sure he's got more drip than Reed Richards

[u/jackrabbit323 → u/kentotoy98]

Reed in his onesie. No drip.

[u/ChudMaster69420]

Probably wouldn't work since you need telepathy to use it. Kind of like trying to run a car on an empty tank.

[u/Time-Ad1903]

I think they haven‘t been quite consistent on that. For example in uncanny 210 Kitty alters Cerebro so non-telepaths can do searches with it, IIRC and in the recent retro Mahneto LS Magik uses it. 

[u/Xygnux → u/Time-Ad1903]

Also Cerebro itself had many upgrades over the years. The original version weren't even telepathic, but just a mutant scanning computer that even Cyclops could use.

[u/Frog_Totem]

Cyclops is the first person to be shown using Cerebro on-panel. Cerebro is introduced in an issue when Xavier goes on a trip and leaves Scott in charge.

[u/GarbledReverie → u/Frog_Totem]

That was back when it was just a mutant detector built into Charles' desk.

[u/AcceptableWheel]

Moon Girl used it. Then again it's dubious if her powers count as "Psionic" enough

[u/Harabec_ → u/AcceptableWheel]

I really like Forge's interactions with Moon Girl. She frustrates him the same way he frustrates literally everybody else in the world, but he always treats her seriously and seems to respect her

[u/Immamu__]

I could have sworn non-tps have used Cerebro before, not often but I’m sure it’s happened at least once on panel.

[u/Frog_Totem → u/Immamu__]

Cyclops uses it in the issue that introduces Cerebro

[u/FlamingDragon002]

Funny hat

[u/FL2802]

This is like asking what happens if someone put on Cyclops's visor

[u/Burnbrook]

Cerebro probably requires a telepathic signal to function, probably using something similar to a EEG in the way it reads brain waves, but must receive precise inputs a lay person wouldn't be able to emit.

[u/corvid1692]

Depends on whether baseline humans have a trivial amount of "telepathy" already, or if it's 0.000. If there's a small baseline level, it might be enhanced a little. Otherwise, nada.

[u/Xygnux → u/corvid1692]

In the main Marvel universe, yes it's people for humans to have telepathy if they achieved their "full potential".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moondragon

[u/Substantial_Pick6897 → u/Xygnux]

It's kind of funny that a normal human can become more powerful than a lot of mutants by training with monks on a moon. They should do that instead of building sentinels tbh

[u/Open-Stretch-6631]

Presumably nothing would happen. If you, a normal guy, tried to use Cerebro, you simply would be unable to turn it on.

[u/teracoulomb_2]

You can read your own mind better than before

[u/SuaveGorilla]

Reverses the effect. Every mutant in the world sees them.

[u/Longjumping_Fuel_192]

If my grandmother had wheels, she would’ve been a bike.

[u/tendouman]

"... I can't see shit."

[u/FancyJalapeno]

IIRC Kitty made it so any mutant could use it. That's just before the Morlock Massacre, they were looking for Nightcrawler and Rachel

[u/grey-of-grays]

Driving a car without keys

[u/ArtatrA]

I vaguely recall an early 2000s issue I read as a kid that showed Wolverine using cerebro to search for someone on the astral plane or something. I think there weren't any psys available for the mission so Wolverine was chosen because cerebro would've fried the brain of anyone else that used it. Idk, maybe I'm remembering wrong.

[u/BasedAustralhungary]

They die instantly.

[u/BasedAustralhungary → u/BasedAustralhungary]

I just made it up.

[u/Vittorini]

He will have a nice helmet.

[u/Comfortable-Cash7473]

They have a cool hat.

[u/Suuusan]

What if Iceman used a machine that enhanced his pyrokinesis?

[u/Clockwork_Eyes]

Ever heard a dial tone? This is one you feel.

[u/DamperBritches]

[u/BlazeBitch]

Maybe it better broadcasts them to telepaths ? Def can't actually use it though

[u/Clumsy_the_24]

Kaboom

[u/Mean_Effective_7028]

They will become a Trivial Psychic, like Ed Glossar (Christopher Walken on SNL):

https://youtu.be/h-xz0z1gU1M

[u/Legomaniac91]

Best case scenario: it does nothing (not psychic powers to amplify). Worse case scenario: it makes your head pop like a grape.

[u/oman54]

What if magneto could control plastic instead of metal

[u/ConnorOfAstora]

"Has anyone seen Scanners?"

[u/Spobobich]

I've read the user would get a gnarly headache.

[u/TheChainsawVigilante]

They would immediately become aware of their own thoughts

[u/Yorukira]

Nothing because they cant use it.
