Ok so I know that Elixir has gold skin (and black on occasion) So why does he have normal skin in X-Force? It only turns gold when he heals w/ his hands. I think its stupid to change him like that, but thats just me.

he originally had normal skin until the new mutants series. maybe the artist just got lazy in x-force.

orrrrrrrrr maybe he learned to control his powers mutants in marvel tend to learn to control themselves. And i think its great that he looks normal the gold skin was cool but how is the artist going to show that he is controling his power without doing something to show it

He's an Omega level mutant: why can't he change  his skin colour?

hahaha, he thinks that the entire concept of leveling them is stupid, and its sorta makes sense, because with the powers of writing they can do anything :P

Also, people are judged and ranked by society so why cannot comic readers do the same to fictional characters?

they can, but it doesnt need to be official :P

My main problem with the Omega term is that is doesn't mean anything. It's just a lame way by writers to say OMG!!1 This guy is badazz!!!!
So Elixir has the Omega level label slapped onto him. Does this mean he will defeat anyone that isn't omega?
No, i would guess he'll get beaten by pretty much anyone with telepathic or magic powers. And Wolverine.

Another example is Iceman who, being omega supposedly has unlimited potential, which by the way must mean they can do anything or else it's not unlimited. What difference does it make if can be extremely powerful if he never lives up to that potential?
What has he ever done that's so awesome? When Emma Frost possessed him for a short while a couple of years ago she could use his powers much better than he does himself. AoA Iceman was also used his powers much better that 616 Iceman. My conclusion is that he's not very good with his powers, so what difference does it make that he's Omega.
