See a lie?: Sure. Daedalus has been rooting lies very carefully out of his system, though, thanks to his boyfriend's powers condition. Sense emotions or thoughts?: He's probably close enough to Mags that Mags has a good handle on how he works, but sometimes even Shiroe's Mu powers have trouble tapping into Daedalus' carefully over-managed outward emotions. So assume he's not the easiest read in the world. Anything show up on an MRI or X-ray?: Nothing special, no Infrared? Hotter or colder than ‘normal’?: Nothing special, no. Powers he can block?: n/a? Out your EM signature?: n/a? Compel the truth?: ^ See above on truthiness. Mags is pretty compelling on Daedalus without too much use of powers. Control your body?: ...holy shit that would be disconcerting for him. But permissions, yes.
See a lie?: On Reeve, yes. Cait (when he comes into play), no. Sense emotions or thoughts?: Emotions, yes. Thoughts, not so much. Anything show up on an MRI or X-ray?: Sure! Abnormal amounts of scar tissue around his arms and left shoulder, recently healed fractured skull. Mmm, torture. Also... with the way Cait Sith operates, I'm assuming he might see some abnormal brain activity once Cait is active. Infrared? Hotter or colder than ‘normal’?: Yes. Normal, though. Powers he can block?: None of his abilities require touch. Out your EM signature?: Sure. Compel the truth?: Reeve, yes. Cait Sith, no. Control your body?: Again- Reeve, yes, with difficulty. Cait, no.
Oh! Cait Sith is the cute, fuzzy little cat robot in the icon above. He's sorta part-android, part-not; he's animated using Reeve's ability 'Inspire', which allows Reeve to literally breathe life into an inanimate object. Cait is more-or-less a broken-off part of Reeve soul, which is why I have to separate him in permissions posts. The characters are the same yet not. (The canon is SO confusing.)
See a lie?: Sure Sense emotions or thoughts?: Yes, although he keeps his emotions fairly close to the surface anyway Anything show up on an MRI or X-ray?: Nope! Infrared? Hotter or colder than ‘normal’?: Nothing weird Powers he can block?: He can only use physical attacks, so yes, I guess so! Out your EM signature?: That's fine. Claire might occasionally hang out soaked in blood which is about as close as he gets to a disguise. Under those circumstances Mags would still be able tell it's him. Compel the truth?: I think so? He's reasonably honest. Control your body?: This could be fun. ≖‿≖
See a lie?: If this is looking at the physical brain, then yes but only if she's in human form -- *unless* she's messed with her own memories beforehand. If this relies on any way on telepathy, no. Sense emotions or thoughts?: If he can see emotions by looking at the physical brain, then yes when she's in human form ... for whatever it's worth. I refuse to believe he can read actual thoughts without telepathy, which won't work, so no thoughtreading. :) Anything show up on an MRI or X-ray?: Minor mutant abnormalities in human form; diamond form is totally different from normal. Infrared? Hotter or colder than ‘normal’?: Diamond form is usually room temperature, I think? It's not susceptible to the cold. Powers he can block?: No Out your EM signature?: Don't think it's applicable, but sure. Compel the truth?: Nope. Control your body?: In human form only.
Emma has standard hardware in her human form, so watching that will go entirely around her psishields and work fairly normally. Not entirely normally -- Emma's loaded in some exotic software so the hardware indicators may be off at times -- but the gross results should be accurate. With prep time she could also futz the readings by altering her own mind in ways that will wear off ... however, if Michael's looking at her brain while she's doing that, it's going to look really weird.
BTB, Emma's diamond form has a totally different EM reading than her human form. She only has the two readings and Michael knows them both, though, so that's just an aside.
See a lie?: if it's a big/important lie, yes! but pretty much all of what she says is not entirely true, so maybe the little things slip through the cracks. she has a lot of practice with those, after all. (unless that doesn't make a difference, then hell, she can ping him 24/7 if he can tolerate all that lying) Sense emotions or thoughts?: yes! though i can't see him... exactly getting emotionally attached :|a Anything show up on an MRI or X-ray?: as a human, there'd be absolutely nothing abnormal going on in there. ...and then as a dragon she'd be pretty normal for dragons too i suppose! Infrared? Hotter or colder than ‘normal’?: as a human, exactly normal. as a dragon, cold-blooded. Powers he can block?: the only thing she has that operates by touch is the ability to take someone else with her when she teleports, and he's certainly free to block that! Out your EM signature?: sure! although it should be noted that her canon takes care to note that her brand of shapeshifting is more authentic than what everyone else uses (in

The seeing a lie isn't telepathy - it's physical. You use different parts of your brain to lie verses to tell the truth, no matter how used to lying you are. That's what he's seeing - though he doesn't ALWAYS look for them but once pinged he will.
If she's changing her DNA, then her EM signature is changing too! It's DNA based.
Compelling the truth and controlling the body are both physical, not telepathic. He's manipulating the bio-electric fields of the body.
oh I gotcha! well then i take it back about the lying and compelling/controlling. do you think strength would matter at all in controlling the body, though? like... can he make the hulk share his oreos can he??
oh and your question about carrie reminded me-- in human form she's had a broken nose, and as a dragon she's had a broken wing. the nose thing would transfer over to dragon but god i have no idea what the wing would translate to. >_> i guess that just wouldn't show.

Magneto also has kittens. They'll always be kittens, and the sometimes randomly attack things.

But yeah, details are hashed out, always!

Cool, cool! Where was her wing broken? (And which?)
