    Because the High evolutionary evolved into his present form, does that make him a mutant? What is his power level?

    He apparently have vast mental powers - telepathy, TK, transmuation of elements, energy manipulation.
    He has battled Galactus before but is clearely below Galactus's power level.
    In some apparances this is the case, in others he is portrayed as a lot weaker.

       He's not a mutant, just a highly evolved human. His power level is perhaps at the same level as the Sphinx, Magneto and Apocalypse. VERY powerful, but not quite at the level of the Elders of the Universe or the Heralds of Galactus. Very powerful, but NOT QUITE in the range of the various low-level cosmic entities. 

       Still, power is secondary to intellect, and I've always felt that the High Evoloutionary and Immortus were the two smartest non-cosmic humans in the Marvel Universe. Smarter than Kang, Doom, the Mad Thinker or even Reed Richards.

    Several of his appearances put him significantly beyond herald level (like the ones in the counter Earth storyline).

       Ah, that's the problem with craracters like this. In one isse the High-E's crushing cosmic-level powers underfoot, in another he's getting into fist fights with the Hulk. It all depends on the writer, doesn't it?

    Marvel could use some consistency in writing for him. I know his power level changes with his current level of evolution, but getting beaten by Mr Sinister? Lame...

    Well being powerful enough to face Galactus in battle alone and get away alive shows a pretty high power level.
