Omega Level Mutants

*wipes brow*

Man. ComixFan, I left, due to these crazy obsessions over the littlest things. I mean, people would kill each other over whether or not Storm was Omega or not.

You guys make me proud :D

What did they determine? *wipes sweat off brow*

We determined she is Omega, and that jean can lick her boots. :P

Hey, when did Magneto get classified as Omega or is this another Storm like fanbase decision.

[Sabrinaset]

I see Red X too.

He's never been classified as an omega. In fact, we've seen upper limits to his powers time and time again. We've also seen him having to boost said powers through technology, Polaris, Cortez, and drugs.

If Magneto wasn't considered an Omega... What about Joseph, his younger and more powerful clone counterpart?

After all, he did affect the planet on a global scale.. before he died.

boosted by the machine that Mags was using to affect the planet em field.

effecting the planet on a global scale is not a predetermined factor for being omega. a lot of the omegas can do it, but that doesnt mean that if anyone does anything globally that they are an omega mutant. omega mutants have no upper limits
they can effect globally and potentially more because they never stop growing

Can anyone here explain to me why Elixir has the potential to become an Omega level mutant. I’ve heard it on other forums, but it baffles me as to why anyone would come up with this conclusion. And I understand that he has a vast healing ability, capable of altering DNA on a molecular level. But beyond that, I don’t see the connection.

Another question I raised about his abilities is this:

If Elixir is capable of altering any being, and he chose a human to convert him/her into a mutant… Does Elixir have the ability to choose what mutation that person has? … And, by choosing the power of that mutation, could he conceivably create a potential Omega class mutant?

Magneto never used drugs Xorn did according the the recon. But, really the point is that Magneto being an Omega level mutant is really up to the writer. Claremont certainly thinks he is.

Here is what Professor X said in Excalibur 8.

"The Phoneix apparently represents one of the primal transcendental forces of creation. By the same token, Magnetism is one of the four foundation elements of the physical universe. I doubt even Magneto himself knows his limits or his true potental. I suspect there's literally nothing he could not do."

If that doesn't sound like an Omega level mutant I don't what does.

[Buddahbelly]

Um... Just so I have it strait. Doesn't the definition of being a omega level mutant mean "mutant with unlimited potential"? That's what I remember. So either I've misunderstood completely, or not everyone knows the definition. No to anyone.

Another Omega thread? Really, not to come off as a jerk here but there have been tons of threads about this subject already. My I recommend using the search function next time.

elixir is an omega mutant
he has no limits on the ability to heal and his ability to heal stems far deeper than say wolverine's
his healing abilities have the potential to rewrite genomes and go far beyond what someone like Wolverine's healing abilities can do
one has limits, the other does not
and being an omega mutant is you either are or you aren't
one doesn't have the "potential to become an omega mutant", you just are

Yes, but Claremont has also had characters and the narrator say those sorts of things about other characters--Storm, for instance--but neither have been classified as Omega, and there is actually more evidence to the contrary in regards to Magneto, but I would be perfectly fine with both being classified as Omega. However, I always find it odd when people declare Magneto and/or Polaris as omega class, but insist that Storm isn't.

I think there are too many Omega Level mutants as there is. My understanding is that it's supposed to be a rare phenomenon.

So what you're saying is YES, Elixir CAN create an omega class mutant out of a normal human being.... Amazing!!!
