We have to take it all...whenever it was written...as it all makes up the character. But there are some things that should just be considered unforgivable. Sure wiping memories like he did with Blob and his lackeys way back in the early days to protect the X-Men's identities may seem OK (personally I feel any telepathic alteration is a violent assault) but then sending the 2nd X-Men team (Vulcan, Sway, Petra and Darwin) to their deaths....then wiping out everyone's memories of them crosses the line to unforgivable.
Here's one - I've never cared for the phrase "Omega Level Mutant."
To me, it sounds too much like two kids arguing over who is powerful.
"Superhero_A is awesome!"
"Oh yeah? Superhero_B is more awesome!"
"No way! SuperHero_A could kick SuperHero_B's butt any day!"
"Oh yeah? How do you figure?"
"Well, SuperHero_A has powerful eye beams!"
"Oh? Well, SuperHero_B... he has... powerful eye beams too! And his are OMEGA level!"
It's just never rang well with me. Just have people at different levels - and don't call them "Omega Level."

Same. You have simple mutants (the pleb), the omega-level mutants (the elite, the ones that matter…) and the super-omega-level mutants (better than the rest).
It’s like DBZ… except that in DBZ, you can move from a level to another through hard work. Nothing as democratic, here…
“Strength is the lot of but a few privileged men; but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time.” Goethe
Agreed. I like a feeling of something being earned, that the character kind of deserves it, and the whole Omega thing is just a random thing that happens.
I'd like it better if a mutant gained power over time, perhaps somehow further unlocking their X-gene. None of these brand-new characters showing up and being Omega right out of the gate.
I never get the "mutants are the next stage in evolution" thing when canonically they are the result of celestial experimentation. I also don't get the genetic superiority mutants have over humans when this "evolution" can give you bad breath just as it can give you a useful power.
