The era of the new MCU began after the Avengers: Endgame. Now it is time for the mutants to save the world. The X-men and the mutants are the most powerful in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Omega level is a basic classification of a single mutant power.
The idea behind Marvel’s mutants was conceived to describe humans who were simply born with extraordinary abilities, but inspired by real mutations that actually exist in nature. Here’s the list of Top- 10 Omega-level mutants in The Marvel Cinematic Universe.
1. Jean Grey
Jean Grey, a member of the original X-men team is the most prominent, powerful, and proficient telepath in the entire Marvel Universe. She is an Omega Level Telepath, who can read thoughts, project her own thoughts, as well as interact with, influence, and even manipulate the minds of humans and animals who possess higher-order intelligence.
To protect Jean Grey, Charles Xavier decided to obstruct her intense telepathic powers until she became mature enough to control them. Her psychic capacity also made her a promising host for the cosmic Phoenix Force. During her time with the X-Men, she was recognized as Marvel Girl.
2. Robert Drake Aka Iceman
Robert Drake, a.k.a Iceman is the second member to join the original X-Men team which was led by Charles Xavier. Iceman is an Omega mutant with the superhuman ability to reduce his external and internal body temperature up to zero degrees, projecting intense coldness from his body. Iceman’s ability to generate cold is soo intense that he was even able to prevent a massive nuclear explosion.
Robert Drake is possibly the only mutant who has his powers only to regain them at a much stronger level. He is known to be the first gay Omega mutant. It is revealed that Iceman has the potential to be one of the most powerful mutants on Earth if he unleashes the true capacity of his powers.
3. Erik Lehnsherr Aka Magneto
Erik Lehnsherr born Max Eisenhardt earned the nickname Magneto because of his ability to create and manipulate magnetic fields. A holocaust survivor deeply desired to dominate the world, resulting in the formation of the “Brotherhood of evil mutants”, which also included the twins Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. Later he joined hands with Charles Xavier as they both shared a mutual goal of protecting the mutants.
Magento is known as the most powerful mutant to exist as well as the most powerful supervillain. Magneto’s power extends beyond magnetism, reaching all aspects of electromagnetism, one of the four fundamental forces of nature. This allows him to reorganize matter by manipulating atomic bonds, electricity, light, and all other forms of electromagnetic energy and radiation, and even regulate the polarity of the Earth’s geomagnetic field.

4. Kevin MacTargget Aka Proteus
Kevin MacTargett is a mutant son of geneticist and longtime X-Men associate Moira MacTaggert. He possesses the ability to manipulate and alter reality. He inherits the name Proteus after the Greek God of rivers. Proteus can transmute matter and energy into any form or state he desires, alter space around him, and essentially defy all manner of physics and logic.
Proteus’s extreme and dangerous powers led him imprisoned by Moira MacTaggert as he served as a potential threat to her and the X-Men. Unfortunately, his powers are extremely dangerous as they destroy his physical body, forcing him to take possession of others.
He can possess others’ bodies due to being formulated of pure energy. Proteus’s only weakness is inorganic materials, precisely metal, which his energy form cannot tolerate. But later when he fuses with Piecemental, he is no longer vulnerable to any metal.
5. David Haller Aka Legion
Son of the Professor Charles Xavier and Gabrielle Haller is a born mutant. He acquired the nickname Legion, as he inherits many personalities after joining the original X-Men team. He is an Omega-level Mutant, with the ability to create spontaneous mutation with different personas.
David Haller suffers from dissociative identity disorder, with each of his alternative personalities possessing some kind of super-powers. His first known alter attribute was telepathic, similar to his father, but later revealed that he has countless more personas with abilities like telekinesis, pyrokinesis, reality and time manipulation, and many others.
6. Hope Summers
The conclusion of the “House of M” resulted in the birth of Hope Summers. Hope summers is the adoptive granddaughter of Cyclops and the daughter of Cable and Hope Summers. Named after her mother, Hope was predicted to be a messianic figure meant to save mutant-kind and humanity.
Hope has the ability to mimic and manipulate the powers of other mutants. Any power that she impersonates, Hope can utilize and command at its most elevated capacity, perhaps even to a greater degree than the original source of power.
She can also hold onto and wield multiple abilities at a time. Moreover, Hope can regulate, augment, and jumpstart powers in mutants, granting them easier control over their gifts or awakening their true strength.
7. Gabriel Summers Aka Vulcan
The almost forgotten brother of the X-Men team members – Alex and Scott Summers, Gabriel Summers was found by Moira Mac Targett, who helped him control his abilities. He became an Omega-level mutant after joining the X-Men team choosing the codename Vulcan from the book of Roman Mythology. Charles Xaviers was the first one to identify his connection with the Cyclops.
The Summers brothers have known as the living batteries of energy, but Vulcan beats his older siblings in the dust with regard to raw power. He is capable of absorbing tremendous volumes of practically every known type of energy which includes heat, light, electricity, and radiation. Vulcan has the potential to bend the existing energy sources to his will as well as use energy to fly at a blinding pace and survive under the harshest situations.
8. Franklin Richards
Franklin Richards was born mutant because of his parents- Reed Richards and Sue Stomes genetically modified conditions. He began manifesting his powers while still a toddler, attracting many supervillains. To avoid that Reed Richards placed his son into a coma, but the powers from Ultron awakened Franklin Richards from a coma and unleashed his true potential powers.
Franklin was generally considered for years to be one of the most powerful mutants in the Marvel Universe greatly surpassing even mutants such as Charles Xavier and Magneto easily.
9. Ororo Munroe Aka Storm
Goddess of Thunder, Ororo Munroe is a descendant of an ancient line of African priestesses. In Cario, Charles Xavier acknowledged she was a mutant from her brainwaves but declined to contact Ororo until she realises the true extent of her power. Xavier explained to Ororo that she was not a goddess but instead a mutant and had a responsibility to use her capabilities to help the world, just as she had helped the local tribes.
Nicknamed Storm, she is an Omega Level Mutant. She has the ability to control the weather and atmosphere and is considered to be one of the most powerful mutants on the plants. One of the primary sources of her powers on Earth is the electromagnetic fields. Her power is also mystical in nature, because of her descent from a long lineage of sorceresses.
10. Joshua Foley Aka Elixir
Joined the X-Men team after being outed by his own friends and family. Along with being an Omega-level mutant, he is also considered Omega level healer. He is nicknamed Elixir and has extreme healing powers, whose skin changes into golden color.
Elixir can create biomolecular energy at convenience which affects the organic matter he touches. This allows him to heal physical damage done to his body or the bodies of others. He does that by reactivating suppressed mutant abilities, repairing cerebral functions, and altering the composition of his own molecules in certain ways.
