![]() Heck, I doubt she has the fine-tuned ability of Hellion who, at his best, reassembled a person at the molecular level (yeah, he did that in X-Men Legacy to save Ariel). Unlike others of her ilk, she cannot use her telekinesis to rip holes in time or manipulate matter. She still requires the use of a machine to touch far-off minds and do battle with stronger foes. Jean, without receiving a power boost from the Phoenix, is still one of the strongest mutants on Earth- at her level. Not Omega Level: Jean without the Phoenix Force That kind of power exceeds omnipresence and makes cosmic awareness look like a cheap cell-phone. In a way, every Phoenix conduit that ever has and ever will be are always connected. From there, it can monitor all space and time and exist outside of it. It’s a plane of existence solely meant for those that have walked with the Firebird. ![]() Jean, as the Phoenix, also had free control over an entire dimension- a place referred to as the White-Hot Room. These are the feats that a Phoenix Force inhabited person is capable of. Smiting entire planets, moving worlds off of their axis, and manipulating the laws of physics on a whim. This is what omega-level threats are capable of. As a conduit for the cosmic being, she’s both reversed the effects of death and doomed an entire solar system BY EATING A STAR. Like the Phoenix, Jean Grey performed some amazing feats- for the good of the galaxy, and to its detriment. Definitely Omega Level: Jean with the Phoenix Force Though it’s brought up from time to time, Psylocke has yet to exhibit these godly levels of power and is found quite often on her backside alongside the rest of the X-Men. After “opening her mind” Psylocke officially ascended to Omega-Level. The final upgrade came by way of a Dragon Ball Z-like feat from an alternate reality Jean Grey (Age of Apocalypse). Upon being resurrected by her brother (a reality warper and Omega-level mutant in his own right), she gained another power-buff. Her first real upgrade came by way of a power-reset that saw her telepathy turn into telekinesis. Despite SEVERAL power upgrades and declaration from creative teams, Psylocke has never been any stronger than the next X-Man. Being compared to a deity is reserved for the mightiest of the mighty. She is one of the most experienced and skilled telepaths among the X-Men, perhaps the world, but that doesn’t make her god-like. Since her inception in the 80s, Betsy Braddock, on her best day has demonstrated nothing more than Alpha-level ability. Even if that’s not the case, he’s still by far one of the strongest mutants to have ever lived. I counter that idea by theorizing that David has just one ability. It’s been said he possibly possesses thousands of powers, one or more for each of his personalities. ![]() And what are those powers? Basically, anything he wants them to be. And I mean all at the same time.Īs he grew and matured David’s awesome powers did as well. When he was first introduced as a child, he would routinely demonstrate levels of power that would dwarf and humble some of the world’s most powerful and experienced mutants, chief among them being Jean Grey, Storm, and Iceman. Heck, he may be one of the most powerful mortals in the known universe. It’s no mystery that the mutant son of Professor-X, David Charles Haller, better known as Legion, is one of the most powerful beings on earth. Notice the deep sense of concern on Legion’s face as the entire Gold team bears down on him. ![]() Here are 5 examples of real Omega-Level characters and 5 that have gained the title, but don’t deserve it. There’s a severe lack of editorial oversight of the X-Men. To my knowledge, that used to mean ‘alpha.’ There are only two reasons for this upsurge in Omega-Level mutants 1. However, in recent years, it’s been thrown around to simply mean “stronger than average” which could describe just about every X-Man. The term originally was meant classify mutants that were the strongest in their particular category. But now it seems it is merely used to describe how cool a writer’s pet character is. Once upon a time, when a writer used the term ‘Omega-Level’ to describe an X-Man or mutant threat, it meant something. The over-utilization of the term ‘Omega Level Mutant’ in X-Men Comics has severely damaged the title.
