Can We stop using the term Omega Level like it means anything???

I mean outside of a My character is better than your character and my character can't lose a fight because he/she is Omega blah blah blah.

It literally means so little even Marvel has stopped using it. Fans still use it. For what though? Even in Xaviers files there were VERY few Omegas and all it meant was upper tier potential. POTENTIAL, which not all characters will ever meet. Not my character can never be defeated because of OMEGA!!!!!

So why do people still think Omega means anything?

Cause it leads to messy threads, and we all live for the mess.

Omega was a designation for mutant powers the potential for which was theoretically limitless. It does mean something, that writers abuse the term and overpower and underpower every Omega or non-Omega character willy nilly is the problem. Pretending the term never really meant anything is letting bad writing off the hook.

Impossible.

Who's 'we'?

[RLAAMJR.]

Sorry but nobody can stop the xmen fans from doing/talking just anything.

I certainly saw the term as an unhelpful thing as it meant too many game breakers who get knocked down just so there can be some stakes which makes these game breakers look stupid and useless. And it makes the term look just as bad.

Who's 'we'?

the all mighty "we"! The god-fearing "we"!

[Wiccan]

Is this just because Psylocke isn't omega?

Agreed. The entire OMEGA LEVEL MUTANT was just as stupid as making Cannonball an "X-Ternal"...

But with comics that go on and on and on for so many years... craptastic stories like the above are bound to creep in.

And then rabid fans won't let go because it makes their favorite super hero "OMEGA" level which means they're so cool and so powerful.

FFS.

I can't cos Storm needs to be officially declared as one.

Yeah. Well. If we got rid of the OMEGA LEVEL thing over all - there'd be no need for her "to be one." She was fine before the entire crap idea of "Omega Level" mutants.
