Could betsy be now considered to be an omega level mutant? After defeating her evil self [during the red queen stuff] she gained back some psychic abilities. i don't know if she could be considered it or not. comments??
Good Question. I would say no. It seems that marvel is really limiting the number of Omega's. Also aside from the power boost has she shown any additional abilites that would warrant the OL tag?
ugh, I really hate the term Omega it's too limiting it's like "Are they an omega???? No? Oh well, I thought they were powerful :( " whatever happened to mutants- some whom were just more powerful than others but it didn't ever really matter if they a part of some arbitrary group or not can't we let this term die already? arg!

Betsy's quite powerful, but the term Omega defines a mutant with near limitless power.
@IrishX: exactly especially not ones that give any additional merit to the all-hated "Jean Grey is the bestest there ever wuz!" mentality that seems to supercede her actual accomplishments, even in death
During Necrosha, Colossus was concerned for Betsy's safety since she'd lost a lot of her TK. However, she was still strong enough to knock him over... although she had the element of surprise.
If someone has telekinesis, they aren't immediately Omega Level. Her TK is weak compared to what it used to be. Even when she had stronger TK powers, they were nothing compared to that of the Phoenix. She couldn't manipulate matter on an atomic scale.
So no... just a messed up character. Not an Omega.
I like Betsy at a lower power level. She's always relied more on her physical prowess anyway....at least while inhabiting Kwannon's bod. I prefer characters that aren't godlike. It's why I've never been a big Phoenix fan....although she is privy to power corruption and mental manipulation which counts as a weakness.
