In the comics, Cassandra Nova was perfectly capable of reading people’s minds without using her creepy hand technique or otherwise making physical contact. In fact, she demonstrates this with her comic book victim: this is Donald Trask, a mild-mannered dentist and the nephew of Bolivar Trask, the man who invented the Sentinels. She needs his voice command to unleash some Sentinels to kill all the mutants on Genosha, which is the comic event that inspired a similar attack in X-Men ‘97.
Shortly before Casandra Nova uses her hand to brutally kill Trask, she reads his mind and discusses his fantasies of keeping “mutant women and children as slaves” in his basement. She then reveals that after 10 hours in his presence, she was able to copy all of the three billion letters of his particular DNA sequence. After that, she no longer needs him to control the Sentinels and kills the man, all while comparing him to a steak and herself to a gourmet.
