Legilmency + Occulumency

Snape is this annoying guy who has a tendency to read minds without much compunction about morals, or maybe privacy concerns, or... anything else. Worse, he is a master at this particular magical art, and it has served him for years as a spy among people who would do terrible, terrible, terrible things to him if they found out. Same for his ( Read more... )

NERP. But she would probably not immediately notice it, since she doesn't necessarily always have those sorts of defenses up. If you'd like to do something with that, she'd end up (violently) booting him out.

TL;DR: Yes, but Spidey's powers complicate things.

Full version: Spidey has no particular psychic defenses or training, but he's very strong-willed and his spider-sense warns him of danger or ill-intent with an intensity proportionate to the level of risk. So, an extremely light mental touch might make him wary, but he'd be unable to place why; the deeper that Snape rifled his brain, the more urgent and precise the warning would be. After a certain point Spidey would be able to pinpoint Snape as the origin point, and if for some reason Snape were to push REALLY hard Spidey might just lash out instinctively. Again, he has no way of fighting back psychically, but physically is another matter entirely.

Recently, there's the added complication that he's got a magically induced psychic blindspot protecting his secret identity. Full details are in the link, but the basic run-down is that no one can discover Spidey's secret identity short of actually unmasking him. I'm not quite sure how psychic powers play into that, as it's yet to be ( ... )

Shego and Sally are both a-okay for this. Neither would notice.

Geddoe has no powers to prevent mind-reading or anything, but because he bears within his body a True Rune, which is a semi-sentient power which battles wills with him and has done so for about 80 years, whatever Snape tries to read is going to be confusing. He might pick up on the presence of the Rune, or Geddoe's mind mind be a lot harder to get into. He's spent 80 years resisting the control of True Lightning, so he's not one to be trifled lightly with.

Alastair (hackeralastair) is an open book but skittish, especially now with the Oricalchos power. You might want to ask me about him.

Sanji (notadartboard) is totally an open book and I support dicking around with him often.

Aphrodite: Snape is certainly welcome to try, but I don't think he'll have much luck. While flighty she's still a goddess and her mind is therefore closed off to most.

Kaiba: Go right ahead and pick whatever you want out of his brain. Just be warned that his power is (untrained) mimicry so if he notices and reacts he might be able to look into his mind back. Emphasis on Might since he doesn't use said power very often because he dislikes it.
