Hogwash. Most mutants don't even have powers until puberty. And pre-Phoenix, Jean struggled to telekinetically lift more than she could lift with her body. (She's come a long way, baby!) Iceman started out *throwing snowballs at people.* Now he transmutes his body into ice, and creates glaciers out of thin air!

*Many* mutants develop power over time, including omegas. Proteus' power has grown immensely from his early beginnings when he had a thirty foot range, and burned himself out and killed the body he was using in ten minutes of exerting his power. Neither of those things are true now!
