Sovereign Seven #17

The cover of Sovereign Seven #17 (December 1996) sets up a tense psychic showdown, with the bold tagline "You Can't Fool a Telepath!" framing a striking confrontation between two super-powered women. A confident blonde in a form-fitting blue bodysuit and fishnet stockings stands dominant over a dark-haired, battle-worn figure struggling on the rubble-strewn ground below her. Cover art by Ron Lim and Chris Ivy gives the scene real dramatic weight, and with Chris Claremont at the helm writing "Hot Pursuit," this is exactly the kind of charged character clash his fans have come to expect.
