If it's any consolation....Angel, Beast and Cyclops are not Omega and will never be.

Wasnt Nature Girl supposed to be Omega? Before and during Age of X-Man it was mentioned by someone I think.
The omegas were essentially creating a livable planet and none of the characters mentioned have the power, scale or range to do what was done in this issue. Clara? It would have been like having an inexperienced new employee on a complex task being run by 10 year vets. Maybe they might have been able to assist but the limitations in their abilities would just slow everyone else down. Ultimately they werent needed as the omegas were able to do what they did in less than an hour. Maybe Black Tom can go there and help create vegetation as I doubt the entire planet has that, but for the PSX display, he was unnecesary
Who may or may not have been an omega prior to HOX doesnt matter in this era. Hickman's list in that first issue is the one that the books have currently been going by
Magma could have been brought along as a safety net in case the omegas screwed up and caused more damage to the planet. She has the power to keep planets from being torn apart and could have ensured that even if they failed they wouldn't have made things worse. Making volcanoes and mountain ranges may not have been necessary, but they could have been a bit more responsible about breaking to the core of a planet and superheating it.
The obvious problem here that will lead to some catastrophe on Planet Arakko is that Magneto got the instructions from Forge, a lowly non-Omega.
It has been so long since I've read the X-men Forever mini but I think Jean reads Xavier's file about this and he explains that Iceman and Jean are different from Angel, Beast, and Cyclops. Jean and Iceman's powers have room to grow and they could do a lot more... they had the potential that the others didn't have. The others powers are sort of one note but there are many different applications for Jean's and Iceman's powers.
Of course the omega level definition has changed with Hickman but the results are the same. Angel, Cyclops, and Beast are fantastic characters (yes I still like Beast but hate what he has become) and they have great powers and it doesn't take anything away from them that they aren't omega.
As for Jean since the phoenix has been removed from her again I like that she has the omega distinction. It kind of makes up for the phoenix loss.
So will Namor change his mind?
