Great idea for a thread, butterflykyss!

I love seeing the grids you posted. After I "digest" (don't want to be called a 'cannibal', lol) all of this I will post more.

Right now, just wish Jean was the only one to be Omega in both TK and TP.

I hear you, but Jean has never shown as absurdly powerful telekinetic feats as Exodus has (nearly flattening Genosha and slapping Sersi around like nothing) whereas her being an omega level telepath is fitting given that it was the power of hers that Professor X suppressed.

I think Quire should removed from the list he's died like a 100 times where's the power and what happened to should be protected at all cost.

Ah, good points and it was Jean's overwhelming TP that needed to be suppressed as you stated. (I never saw Exodus in action and missed him slapping Sersi around. Also do not know much about her--how powerful is she?)

I am just curious what other powers could be omega level and what other powers top off at being alpha.. like while I get why Forge is not an omega.. Taki powers are quite a step above his and I could see him being an omega but I guess he is just gonna be at the top of the mountain of alpha level mutant powers..

I wonder if any "physical" based omegas, exist. All of the powers seem psionic in nature.

Well, in Jean Grey's defense Exodus's extremely high power levels are inexplicably linked to tampering by Apocalypse. Besides, to see Jean Grey at full power (sans the Phoenix Force) one only has to look at teenage Jean Grey -- and, since teenage Jean and adult Jean are canonically one and the same -- there should be no reason why adult Jean can't do exactly what teen Jean did to Gladiator (and the Imperial Guard) or Exodus for that matter. On the other hand, adult Jean did pull a very similar power stunt to teenage Jean's during the "Judgement War" arc.

I think what is tricky about Jean is that she has often used her Telepathy to boost her Telekinesis and the psionic energy she absorbs from her telepathy she uses to boost her tk so while i do think if she pushed her self she could reach exodus levels she is still using one power to amplify the other as some have already said. I don't think without her telepathy and only her tk we have seen jean do anything close to exodus.

Teen Jean's TK was boosted by her TP. The best no-prize for why she isnt listed as omega for TK is bc she was only able to do those TK feats bc she used her TP to absorb energy and supercharge her TK.

IMO, Id just have her be the sole mutant on here that was omega for 2 powers, TK and TP. Its the unison of using them together that pushes her beyond the limits of anyone else

thanks beloved! and also thank you for your contribution to the discussion.

I'm curious to see what makes the Arrakoans omega. and what specifically their power are.

I do wonder does cable without the TO virus make the cut? How does that make stryff and Xman fall?

I dislike that we mostly have psychics and reality warmers though and wish we had more oddball or unique powers in here like the goddess storm

[Phoenixx9]

Well, only QQ is a duplicate TP, which was not needed. But I agree there should be some more mutants on the list with different powers.

Why not Havok? What about a shape-shifter like Copycat that could also mimic powers? What about Morph? Sunfire seems like he should be on here.

So what would havok be omega at ? radiation absorption.. Havok is a blaster who absorbs radiation. I dont think his mutation would qualify based on how omega is framed.

He wouldnt. What Havok does is a very specialized form of energy absorption and Gabriel already counts as an omega for that bc his potential extends to multiple forms of energy and not just that one
