After 62 years as the on-again, off-again leader of the X-Men, Marvel has finally declared Professor Charles Xavier an Omega-level mutant – the highest power level it’s possible for the franchise’s heroes to achieve. In an irrevocable change, Xavier himself reveals his Omega status – part of a major reinvention the character is going through in Marvel’s new ‘From the Ashes’ era of X-Men comics.
In X-Men #13 from Jed MacKay, Sean Parsons, Netho Diaz, Clayton Cowles and Fer Sifuentes-Sujo, the X-Men attempt to take down Xavier, who has broken out of prison to save his daughter, Xandra Neramani. Xavier battles fellow psychic Quentin Quire, aka Kid Omega. One of X-Men’s most powerful telepaths and a long-acknowledged Omega-level mutant, Quentin finds himself up against an equal, as Xavier declares himself an Omega-level telepath, claiming his experience will overcome the stalemate of their shared power level.
Ultimately, Quentin managed to come out ahead, revealing that he’s stored away a fragment of Xavier’s evil sister Cassandra Nova, surprising his former headmaster and bringing home the win. Nevertheless, this is the first time Marvel has officially declared Xavier an Omega-level mutant.
X-Men #13 is available now from Marvel Comics.
