Comics "Omega Mutants": The Official Discussion Thread

[Majik1387]

Marvel Comics didn't even exist back in the 1930's. The Fantastic Four was their premiere issue of the company. And that was back in the early 1960's. But even so, why would they create a character that was comatosed and utterly useless, if they didn't and don't plan on using him any time soon?

Maybe he meant the 1930's of the Marvel Universe. But I still know nothing about the character.

What's his story Silicon Surfer?

The 198 files clearly say Franklin is Omega... What is astounding is that he is the only omega referenced to in the "bio".

And about Magneto and Xavier... if they say "Vulcan is beyond omega" and then they say "on the same level as Xavier" then, by pure logic, Xavier is omega too.

Doesn't it say the same thing about Quentin Quireb as being an omega in that book?

Not sure I believe that. After all, if Xavier was an omega mutant, he'd be able to overcome his disability and walk... Mind over matter..... Or, the very least, have Elixir heal him. That would only make sense, but I guess there would be a lot of pissed off handicapped readers/fans to have a quick fix like that on the only disabled Marvel character out there.

 

[javon]

Yup.

 

[Valechan]

I didn't read Quire... I don't like him I checked Bobby and it didn't say anything.

Being Omega means that you have limitless potential, it doesn't mean that you're there yet. Which means that Vulcan could be at Xavier's Alpha level right now and is why they worded it that way. I dunno, I'm just looking at it another way.

 

[Valechan]

If they say, A is on the same level as B, and then they say A is Omega, then by comparison so should be B

 

[javon]

Being Omega means that you have limitless potential, it doesn't mean that you're there yet.

Well thats just plain stupid. So if your Omega and you wanted to use that potential, couldn't you just use it?

I'm not sure if this is what he meant but this is how I interpretted it. I think he means that Xavier and Vulcan are at the same or close to the same power level. However, though they may be the same power it doesn't mean that Vulcan and Xavier have the same potential to either affect the world or their powers. For example, they may both be able to take out somebody like Magneto (just an example) but that may be Xaviers cut off point whereas Vulcan could go on to be as powerful to as stop Galactus (just an example). So basically even though they have the same power levels does not make them both Omegas and does not mean they have the same potenital. This is my perspective anyway. Persoanlly I see Magneto as an Omega but I do not think Xavier is.

 

[Majik1387]

It's actually not that stupid. You can't use potential, you have to reach it. That's partially why Quentin Quire "died"; He knew his potential and went straight for it when he wasn't ready for it, physically, mentally or otherwise.

 

[javon]

Thats too darn confusing. Either your Omega..or ya aint. I don't know why all of this "Omega isn't what you could do..its your potential" crap.

 

[Exploding Boy]

It's rather simple. I think you're thinking about it too much.

 

[Valechan]

javon? Thinking? Are you serious?

 

[javon]

Don't start today,child. I don't have time for you little boy.

 

[javon]

It's rather simple. I think you're thinking about it too much.

Its rather stupid to me. They should just say it flat out. "You are Omega. You have the power to destroy the world." Not "Your Omega, you have the potential, your just not there yet". If thats the case, then nobody she be bragging about Omegas.

 

[Valechan]

It has always been about potential, and just because you're an Omega doesn't mean you can destroy the world...

 

[javon]

You need to tell yourself that because from the past posts I;ve seen from you, you don't need to tell me.

 

[Exploding Boy]

Its rather stupid to me. They should just say it flat out. "You are Omega. You have the power to destroy the world." Not "Your Omega, you have the potential, your just not there yet". If thats the case, then nobody she be bragging about Omegas.

Whats the fun in being able to destroy the world and do anything without working for it? No one is going to be born with Omega level power and just have control over it, you need to work for it.

 

[javon]

I'm looking back at some other forums with "storm versus" and me and your arguing is nothing compared to theirs explodingboy...nothing.

 

[rabidfanboy]

Javon doesn't believe anything should have to be learned or worked towards, but that you should wake up one day with the ability to do anything and everything.

 

[javon]

Did I do something to you nd Sebita to make ya'll come at me without me saying anything ton ya'll? I try to hold in but ya'll make it too difficult.

 

[ProfeZZor X]

Correction.... It means that they have the POTENTIAL to destroy the world with their mutant abilities.

And speaking of omega potential, would it be theoretically possible for Elixir to create a mutant out of a regular human being? And if so, could he "theoretically" choose the power he bestowed on that human subject?... Anyone?

 

[Valechan]

Goddess you take things far too seriously kid... lighten up.

 

[ProfeZZor X]

Me?.... (Psh)....No.

 

[rabidfanboy]

Nah you didn't. I just based my comment on previous discussions we've had, javon.

As far as Xavier and Mags, I think it was just referencing that the pilot of the shuttle himself is an Omega. It doesn't exactly state that A and B are equal; just that A is easily on the level of B and possibly on the level of C (Phoenix.) Xavier and Magneto have always been among the top when it comes to alpha levels so by saying the pilot is "easily on their levels" I think they are just trying to establish a basis for how far beyond their levels he is.

Now if it had said on the same level as Xavier and Magneto instead of just easily on their level then I'd have to include them on the official list.
