Also the comment you left on my wall:

"The minute you have a character that can use either ability with out the need to telepathically communicate with the target, the power encompasses something other than telepathy"

Let's forget those done by tech, magic or pheromones here and just look at purely the psychically done ones.

They are in fact, still accomplished using telepathy. As you're telepathically pushing in commands or overwhelming their minds with willpower. Or for illusions, you're projecting an image into their minds.

One that can do both, yet be unable to read minds or communicate mentally, aren't telepaths. But they are ultimately still telepathic abilities.

Think of it this way. There are dozens of TP abilities. Some get the short end of the stick and can only read minds, some can do more and communicate mentally. They're telepaths that can do the basics.

Then there are the Mastermind family as mentioned. Could only creature illusions so they weren't telepaths. But the daughters developed the basics and became telepaths.

Ones that are more powerful will be able to do the basics as well as acquire more powerful ones and automatically still be telepaths. Such as Professor X, Jean Grey, Emma Frost, MM, Saturn Girl, Gorilla Grodd and etc.
