What is an “Omega mutant,” and what makes them different from regular mutants?
Until recently, this mutant classification system wasn’t particularly formalized within Marvel comic book continuity.
His ability to project simple holograms has not been formally classified.
X-Men mutant classification - Beta level
The next level is ‘Beta.’
So how does a mutant become defined as ‘Omega’ level?
Marvel uses Magneto and Forge to illustrate the difference.
(Forge is an Alpha-level technopath.)
There can be multiple Omega-level mutants for one power throw in, however.
An example would be Jean Grey and Quentin Quire, who both qualify as Omega-level telepaths.
It’s possible for a non-Omega level mutant to ‘graduate’ to this level.
Iceman’s abilities/power levels grew naturally over time.
But this is the X-Men’s official in-story list of Omega mutants for now.
