The Omega-Level Mutant Classification That Changed EverythingJonathan Hickman, the legendary writer who took charge of the ‘X-Men’ relaunch, defined an Omega-Level mutant as one whose dominant power is deemed to register or reach an undefinable upper limit of that power’s specific classification. Franklin Richards and the Reality-Warper QuestionThe Fantastic Four’s Franklin Richards boasts the most latent potential of any other mutant in existence, though recent developments have called his mutant status into question. Marvel has officially revealed that Franklin Richards is the most powerful mutant in the Marvel universe, though recent storylines have complicated that title significantly. In the recent ‘Fantastic Four’ run, Franklin Richards’ powers are mysteriously declining, and in ‘Fantastic Four’ issue 26, it was discovered that Franklin Richards may not even be a mutant at all. With Franklin Richards’ status now murky and his powers depleted, Jean Grey stands as the most credible claimant to the top of the mutant power hierarchy.
